Momentum in all the builds is a.... courageous... decision (even if it is also acknowledged as a weakness).

You'll want to have a very clear understanding of your own skill level, and how much pain you're likely to cause your team-mates, if you're going to use it to full effect.

BfA has a lot of crowded dungeons.

Comment by Valrenar

A bit outdated, since RB was nerfed and furious gaze and others were buffed. With furious gaze you just have to pick demonic and fel barrage, since it gets heavily boosted by haste. (3*fg+demonic+bloodlust and damage in tooltip for barrage gets from 25k to 65k)

Comment by pilot3931

Melee isnt the weakness in m+. It is for raid only.
Strogly recomended to have at least one Eyes of Rage trait due to high percentage of Eye Beam damage and huge amount of soul fragments while reaping waves.

Comment by Totodile

The Affix Tips section 'Awakened' contains tips specific to the Feral Druid Specialization.

Urg'roth, Breaker of Heroes - Spawns inside the "Brutal Spire". Smacks the tank real hard, tanks will probably have to burn some CDs here but for feral you can just smack away.

Voidweaver Mal'thir - Spawns from the "Cursed Spire". Has 2 debuffs, a Curse and a Disease, you can shapeshift the Disease and Remove Corruption will dispell the curse. You can interrupt rotation the casts.

Comment by Darkgideon

The guide is pretty out of date. Maybe it doesn't matter since havoc DH is doing so poorly. At the same time, more and more people seem to be abandoning havoc for other classes/specs.

Comment by Teroc

Very out of date guide. We need a different Havoc guide writer!

As of 9.1.5, the talents are wrong, the domination shards are wrong, the items are wrong, and it'll change very soon with 9.2
