i play a feral druid, and i find that if i am caught in normal form or cat i will die.

but if im in bear its very unlikely that i will be killed, obviously unless im massively outgeared or outclassed.

i tend to find that stunlock seems to work against me then they pop there 5min cd's then its another 10 seconds i cannot hit you for.

i'd stay stick to stunlocking.

He won't out DPS you in bear form. This means that at some point he is going to have to shift out to heal himself. As long as you are following the advice of using Evasion and controling him with poisons (and are ShS specc'ed) you should be able to time it right where you can blind him immediately after he shifts. There will probably be bleeds on him so its not going to last long, but should be enough time to Vanish, Cheap Shot him and go to work.

Usually you're at big disadvantage vs feral druids. If they stealth better than you, they will open with pounce and eat a lot of your HP. Then they switch to bear, and if their gear isn't much worse than yours, you should better run or you'll get killed.

If they tend to stay in bear a lot, it all depends on their gear and how much damage they can dish out. And with nice gear they can dish out a lot. Versus such a druid you're pretty much screwed up too. If their damage is low, you may dps him down to the point he has to heal, and that's only way you can beat him down - catch him out of bear, and unload.

So you have to figure out how tough is your opponent and decide if it's better to run or fight back. If druid shifts a lot then you should have upper hand. Here are some tips I find helpfull, perhaps others will agree with me:

+ vs. bear form use evasion to buy you some time to dps him down. Evasion is best used early, i.e. when you get idea how much damage he can do to you.
+ keep your trinket for bash, and only if he will try to heal. Some druids bash you, switch and cast cyclone standing next to you - it's perfect, trinket and kick him locking down heals
+ if he charges you and immobilizes then tries to heal away from you (or cyclone) use following: imp. sprint & kick, blind, deadly throw, depending on your cooldowns and situation
+ cloak is best used to remove moonfire or faerie fire when you want to restealth or bandage, use it just before restealth, so he won't fire you again
+ use gouge to catch him out of bear form if your KS is on cd. Sometimes players trinket gouge by mistake, and that's an uninterrupted blind for you
+ if you have no bleeds or other dots on you, you can try bandaging during gouge, bandage macro is useful to minimize wasted time
+ whilst EA is very weak vs a bear, it will make a difference IF you catch him out of bear. So, apply EA first, then wait for a shift and stun him up
+ keep SnD up, especially when you're going toe to toe with him and waiting for cds or energy
+ bleeds or DP are your friends, but remember they render gouge and blind useless. It's best to use them if you want to run away for a while or you know you won't be locking him down for a while

Feel free to point out mistakes in above tactics, I'll find such corrections useful as well. Good luck!

Try expose armor and stunlock when not in bear form.

Or cloak of shadows (if dot) and vanish, wait til he's out of bear form and stunlock him down.

I'm not too sure, my rogues only level 67 but I kill quite a few 70's hehe

The easiest way to kill a Feral Druid that uses Bear form is to stack Wound Poisons and Expose armor on them, then they shouldent be a Problem.
Druids will always be a problem for melee classes.

The problem with druids is that they can pretty much shift out of anything. The trick is to catch them not shiftted otherwise your pretty much &*!@ out of luck.

Don't waste cp on expose armor, keep up rupture instead. Expose armor is going to give you about 1-2% max more damage to a feral druid IF you have imporved expose armor. At 25k armor (blues and greens mixed) druids area t 70% mitigation at 32k druids are at 75% mitigation. With the diminishing returns on armor at a certain point, reducing by 3k is not going to do anywhere near as much damage as rupture will.

eh, 5-8 kiting with rupture works extremely well, combined with gouge bandaging and gouging when you get feral charged. That's basically all there is to it when fighting a bear. Ghostly strike is your best friend here. Dart in from 5-8 with ghostly strike shiv and hemo rupture and back out again.
