Spell

Description

Primal Bite

A strong melee attack on short cooldown available only in Bear forms.

Berserk

Temporarily allows your Primal Bite to hit three targets while removing its cooldown. It also clears and grants immunity to Fear effects through its duration. In cat form, it instead increases the critical strike chance of combo point generators.

Lacerate

Provides a low-cost, short duration, stackable bleed effect and causes a high amount of threat.

Revive

All Druids now gain access to a baseline, out-of-combat resurrection spell.

Natural Reaction

Increases your dodge chance and dodges have a chance to generate 5 rage.

Rend and Tear

Increases damage done by your melee abilities on Bleeding targets.

Natural Instinct

Increases the critical strike damage bonus of your melee abilities.

Nature's Reach

Improves your chance to hit with melee attacks and spells.

Naturalist

Increases all damage you deal.

Changes to Existing Abilities and Talents in WoW Forever

Spell

Change

Bear Form
Cat Form

Bear Form and Cat Form now support consumable usage while shapeshifted, and their associated combat abilities can scale with weapon damage. These changes substantially increase the value of equipped weapons and reduce many of the restrictions traditionally associated with fighting while shapeshifted.

Furor has been fully reworked in functionality when shifting into cat form, but it retains its previous functionality for bear forms.

Leader of the Pack is now available at 21 points and affects both melee and caster abilities.

Genesis

Increases the periodic damage and healing done by your spells and abilities.

Entangling Roots

Entangling Roots can now be used indoors.

Nature's Grasp

Has become a baseline ability and can be cast while shapeshifted.

Omen of Clarity

Now a baseline passive ability available for all specs.

Faerie Fire

The feral version is no longer a separate talent but has been merged into the baseline spell. It will incur a 6 second cooldown if cast while shapeshifted. The armor reduction effect no longer stacks with Curse of Recklessness.

Thorns

Now scales with the caster's current spellpower.

Barkskin
Unconfirmed

Barkskin can now be cast while shapeshifted.

Due to the simplicity of a Druid's mono-form toolkit, top-end play has always involved some sort of shenanigans.

LOL

I believe there's an error with leader of the pack. It's a bit far down the feral tree to be available at 21, unless I'm missing something. It looks like isn't available until 41.

Engineering benefits are now available without limitations.

Shapeshifting:
All potions and almost all similar consumables are now useable while shapeshifted and do not cancel the Druid’s shapeshift. Rage potions and Thistletea are also now usable by Druids.
One notable exception is Engineering bombs. Most cannot be used still, but some specific new recipes can be used while shapeshifted. See the SAF-T and EZ-Thro recipes.
