Feral DPS PvP Gear

Feral Tank PvP Gear

Classic Feral DPS Druid PvP AbilitiesShapeshifts

Terrorbärengestalt: This will be your tank form, it provides you with a 360% armor increased, a boost to your health, and access to a variety of bear-only abilities.

Katzengestalt: This form mimics the playstyle of a dagger-rogue, you have a very fast attack speed, a bonus to your attack power, and access to a variety of cat-only abilities.

Reisegestalt: Travel Form increases your movement speed by 40%, it's only usable while outdoors and you can't cast any spells in this form, but you're quite fast.

Wassergestalt: Similar to travel form, this one increases your swim speed by 50%, it's only usable while in water, and you can't cast any spells in this form.

Moonkingestalt: Moonkin form is the 31 point Balance talent, it increases you and your party member's spell crit by 3% as well as gives you a 360% armor increase. It's also important to note that you can only use Balance spells in this form.

Classic Feral DPS Druid Offensive Abilities

Zermalmen: This is going to be your main ability as a bear, and it is going to be the key to your threat generation.

Prankenhieb: This is another bear form ability that swipes up to 3 enemies in front of you.

Klaue: This ability is one of your combo point generators as a cat.

Schreddern: A powerful attack that can only be used behind your target, requires cat form. This ability generates combo points.

Krallenhieb: An attack that deals initial damage and applies a DoT, generates one combo point.

Verheeren: This is the cat form version of Hinterhalt, you must be stealthed and behind your character.

Zerfetzen: One of your finish moves in cat form; this applies a DoT that power grows with each combo point you spend.

Wilder Biss: Another finishing move for cat form; it does high damage and increases based on how many combo points you spend.

Zorn: In caster form, this is your quick cast and spammable ability, it's the spell you begin with at level 1 when you first log into your druid.

Mondfeuer: An instant cast spell that deals initial damage and applies a DoT.

Sternenfeuer: A long cast time spell that does high burst damage.

Insektenschwarm: The 11 point restoration talent is an instant cast DoT attached to a 2% hit reduction.

Hurrikan: The former 31 point Balance talent is quite good; it is a channeled spell that summons a storm that does massive AoE damage to enemies in the targeted area.

Classic Feral DPS Druid Defensive Abilities

Baumrinde: This ability reduces incoming physical damage and makes you immune to pushback. Unfortunately, you can't cast this in shapeshift form so you'll have to use it as a bear tank preemptively.

Griff der Natur: Nature's Grasp puts a buff on you that will be consumed when someone damages you and applies an appropriate rank of entangling roots to them.

Demoralisierendes Gebrüll: A roar that reduces nearby enemies' attack power.

Classic Feral DPS Druid Utility Abilities

Gabe der Wildnis: This is your class-specific buff, it can be improved by talents.

Dornen: This short-duration buff will reflect damage to enemies who attack you; it is quite useful for generating threat.

Omen der Klarsicht: This 11 point Balance talent is great for Feral Druids; it gives your auto attacks a chance to proc free abilities.

Fluch aufheben: Druids are one of the few classes that can dispel curses.

Vergiftung aufheben: Abolish poison applies a buff that cleanses poisons over time.

Wiedergeburt: In Classic World of Warcraft Druids are the only Class with a battle-res, although warlocks can preemptively Soulstone an ally.

Wucherwurzeln: This ability allows you to root someone in place, great for PVP and even can be used to CC mobs in a dungeon.

Feenfeuer: Faerie Fire is one of the best armor debuffs in the game, making having one druid in your raid very valuable. For PVP, it also prevents stealth and invisibility.

Herausforderndes Gebrüll: Forces all nearby enemies to attack you for a short duration.

Knurren: This is the bear version of Taunt.

Tier besänftigen: This ability is a beneficial utility spell; it allows you to skip certain mobs in dungeons and even raids.

Hieb: A bear form stun; talents can increase the duration of the stun.

Anregen: Innervate is one of Druid's most iconic abilities; it will greatly increase the mana regeneration of whoever you give it to.

Thoriumgranate

Eisengranate

Grenades are one of the most powerful PvP tools available, they provide a long range stun and deal a moderate amount of AoE damage. Grenades are incredibly useful for closing distance between you and the target, securing extra damage, and even interrupting enemy spell casts.

Goblinsche Pioniersprengladung

Goblin Sapper Charge is one of the format-defining items when it comes to PVP in Classic World of Warcraft, any guild who is serious about contesting objectives such as World Bosses should have as many of these in the raid as possible.

Best Feral Druid DPS Potions

Trank der freien Aktion

Free Action Potion, also known as "Fap", is one of the most frequently used potions in Classic World of Warcraft. This potion allows you to move freely without fear of Stuns, Slows, Roots, etc. As a Druid you'll want to always have these available to you especially when flag carrying.

Trank der lebhaften Aktion

Living Action Potion, also known as "Lap", is similar to Free Action Potion with a couple key differences. First, Lap will remove CC abilities that are already applied to your character; but, because this potion makes such an immediate impact, it has a much shorter duration.

Begrenzter Unverwundbarkeitstrank

Limited Invulnerability Potion, also known as "Lip", is extremely powerful when fighting against Warrior or Schurke. 6 seconds of complete immunity to Physical Attacks? Just enough time to almost fully cast a Schwerer Runenstoffverband!

Regenerationstrank

Restorative Potion, also known as "Resto Pot", is a great answer to classes who are going to be constantly debuffing you (Mages, Warlocks, Druids, Priests). This potion can remove many powerful debuffs such as Wucherwurzeln or Furcht. A well timed Resto Pot can definitely turn the tide of a battle.

Best Feral Druid DPS General Consumables

Schwerer Runenstoffverband

Heavy Runecloth Bandage is absolutely a must have Consumable in PvP. Bandaging is very useful in almost every aspect of the game, whether you're leveling, raiding, or PVPing. With this every class has access so some self-sustain.

Alterac Manakeks

Alterac Manna Biscuit is listed here because not enough people know about it. Instead of begging Mages in town for Level 55 Food, you can go buy them yourself from the Alterac Valley Quartermaster, making this the best food in the game. Many people are also incorrect when they assume this can only be used in Alterac Valley, like the PvP Potions the vendor sells, such as Erhebliches Heilgebräu or Erhebliches Managebräu. But Alterac Manna Biscuit can actually be used anywhere, even outside of Battlegrounds!

Decent Guide. I'm not sure it's really necessary to crap on druids about not using windfury for threat in a pvp guide though considering there are other direct benefits to having a shaman in your group in pvp that help druids like tremor totem as an easy example since you mention Paladins and blessing of freedom helping druids carrying flags in pvp but make no mention of the pvp benefits of being horde.

Kommentar von mudplayerx

I thought hot bonus you needed in pvp was 3%, not 5%. Also, this guide doesn't really cover much of anything as far as pvp strats. This is basically just a spreadsheet of druid abilities and professions.

I don't see what makes this a "feral dps guide" or a good feral dps guide at that. There's nothing explaining the cat rotation, and the talents don't make any sense: The armor bonus from Thick Hide is not useful for pvp as you will be switching forms constantly. This build misses out on all the really useful feral talents later in the tree like Predatory Strikes, Blood Frenzy and Faerie Fire. Most importantly, this build misses out on Heart of the Wild, which is a huge buff to EVERY form, and even healing, with the potential to increase your mana pool by up to 20%. This would also increase the # of times you can shape-shift which I repeat, you do constantly in pvp. Imp Nature's Grasp and Natural Shapeshifter are OK for a cat-specific build, but in general those points are better spent in the feral tree. Nature's Grasp will only save your ass against 1 opponent, which is great for duels and open world survival, but not so much BGs. Finally, you should only be investing enough points in the Restoration tree to get Nature's Swiftness, Gift of Nature and Swiftmend are useless spells; Gift of Nature costs too many points to only increases your healing by about 5% (does not scale with SP), and Swiftmend (while it's attractive if ALL you want to do is heal) costs too much mana. It first requiring you to cast Regrowth or Rejuv, the former of which you would mainly use as a pre-HoT before a fight, and requires you to use Nature's Swiftness if this is a "save ass" kind of situation. So two global cool-downs and 580/1120 mana for a heal roughly equivalent to one rank 7 or rank 10 Healing Touch (IF it includes full duration of the HoT. If you have to use it before the HoT expires it's costing even more mana), when you can just macro NS with max rank Healing Touch, heal for 2200+hp and NO GLOBAL COOLDOWN.

Druids are never asked to "just heal" in PVP. We are flag carriers, base defenders, destroyers of mages, rogues, warriors, and hunters. And yes, I will support my comrades with some heals if they are in need, but going full Resto is a mistake unless you're at the top of the skill floor, which most people aren't

Again, this is titled "feral druid pvp dps guide" but it doesn't cover things like power-shifting, and the two items every druid should have feral or otherwise, Wolfshead Helm and Manual Crowd Pummeler. These are easy to obtain, mandatory for cat dps in raids and extremely useful for pvp. I realize that you have written other guides that do talk about these items, but then there's no reason for this guide to be separate from those, and it should really be a HotW build, not a pure Resto build. And saying things like horde druids are bad because they don't benefit from Windfury makes no sense because Manual Crowd Pummeler is quite literally an on-use Windfury that lasts for 30 seconds and can be used as many times as you want during a fight to build threat more quickly for pull and tank swaps. Feral druids don't have issues with threat otherwise.
