Feral Druid PvE/Raids DPS build [BFA 8.2] (2024)

1. Critical Strike - Gives your attacks and abilities a chance to inflict double Damage. This synergizes well with your Combo Point generators,as they generate an additional CP when they Critically hit.

2. Mastery - Feral Druid's Mastery: Razor Clawsincreases the effectiveness of your Finishing Moves and Bleeds. This stat is great especially for AoE, as it increases your multi-DoT potential considerably.

3. Haste - Increases your attack speed and Energy regeneration rate, reduces Global Cooldowns and causes your Bleed effects to tick more often, which makes them more powerful.

4. Agility -Increases your Attack Power whichmakes you deal more Damage with your Abilities and Attacks.

5. Versatility - Increases your damage done, while also protecting you by decreasing your damage received.

Predator resets the Cooldown of your Tiger's Fury when a Target dies with one of your Bleed effects active and makes it last 5 seconds longer. This talent generates value in add-heavy encounters and should be considered for fights where mobs die frequently.

Lunar Inspiration allows you to use the Moonfire while in Cat Form; it also causes Moonfire to generate 1 Combo Point, cost 30 Energy, and deal damage based on your Attack Power. This is a decent choice for both Single Target and AoE Damage but is generally worse than the other two choices in this row.

Tiger Dash is a replacement ability for Dash. It increases your movement speed for 5s; this effect starts at200% and decays over time. This ability may be helpful if rapid bursts of movement are required during an encounter, but is less useful than Wild Charge otherwise.

Renewal is an instant heal which restores 30% of your maximum Health; it has 1,5-minute Cooldown. Additional Healing is less valuable than extra mobility, and This option should not be considered because of that.

Guardian Affinitygrants you a sizable damage reduction in a form of Thick Hide, gives you access to Frenzied Regeneration and Ironfur Guardian-specific abilities and should be considered if you desperately need more survivability,

Restoration Affinity gives you access to Restoration-Specific spells: Rejuvenation, Swiftmend, and Wild Growth while also granting you with the Ysera's Giftpassive which heals you, or a nearby wounded friendly character (if your HP is full) for 3% of maximum HP every 5s. This is the least appealing option, as active abilities provided by this Talent will knock you out of Cat Form when used.

Typhoon - Knocks back and Dazes (for 6s) all Targets up to 15yd in front of You; it has 30-second Cooldown and is usable in all Shapeshift forms.

Talents in this row have close to no impact onDPS, so the choice is largely up to one's preference. However, we recommend theTyphoon as it is the most versatile.

Mighty Bash gives you a 5s Stun on a 50s cooldown, which is usable in all shapeshift forms. It might be useful if you need extra hard Crowd Control or an additional interrupt on a Target not immune to Stuns.

Mass Entanglement provides you with a nice 30s AoE Root effect on a 30s Cooldown, which could be useful for kiting groups of adds around; just remember that any Damage done to rooted targets might break the effect. It is usable in Shapeshift forms.

Savage Roar is a Finisher that increases your Damage doneand Energy regeneration rate by 10%; it lasts longer per Combo Point spent. A strong option for both Single Target and AoE situations, but it complicates your Rotation slightly. It could be chosen instead ofSoul of the Forest, depending on preference.

Incarnation: King of the Jungle is a replacement ability for Berserk. It provides all Berserk's bonuses, lasts 10 seconds longer, and in addition allows a single use of Prowl in combat, and causes Rake and Shred to deal Damage as if stealth was active. This Talent will increase your Burst Damage potential, but at a cost of lower sustained Damage output.

Scent of Blood reduces thecost of your Swipe by 3 Energy for every enemy hit by Thrash; this effect lasts for 6 seconds. This is a quite good option for AoE Damage.

Primal Wrath is a Finisher ability that deals AoE Damage and applies Rip to all Targets within 8yd; Rip's effect lasts longer per Combo Point used. This is the best choice when fighting more than one Target.

Moment of Clarity increases your maximum Energy by 30 and causes your Omen of Clarity to trigger 50% more often, stack up to 2 times, and increase Damage of your next Brutal Slash, Swipe, Thrash, or Shred ability cast by 15%. Choosing this Talent will increase the pace of your rotation without complicating it, but will not increase your DPS by as much as Bloodtalons will.

Feral Frenzy Deals high amounts of Physical Damage and applies a 6-second Bleed to your Target; it has 45-second Cooldown and grants you 5 Combo Points when used. This provides you with some Burst Damage potential, and will streamline your rotation a bit, but is worse than Bloodtalons overall.

1. Regrowth into Bloodtalons if on 4+ CP

2. Tiger's Fury on Cooldown

3. Berserk on Cooldown

4. Maintain Ripwith Ferocious Bite

5. Maintain Rake

6. Brutal Slash for CP generation and to avoid overcappingCharges.

7. Shredfor CP generation

When in Cleave situation, you should make sure to apply Rip and Rake to as many Targets as possible, and then continue with your Single Target priority.

During massive AoE phases use the following Priority instead:

1. Brutal Slash to avoid overcapping Charges

2. Maintain Thrash

3. Apply Rake to as many Targets as possible

4. Rip on 5 Combo Points

1. Learn how to Manage your Combopoints, as overcapping them will lead to a large decrease in Damage output.

2. Manage your Bleeds! Take advantage of the Pandemic mechanic, and reapply your Bleeds only if they have less than 30% of their uptime left.

3. Pool your Energy, but avoid overcapping it.You should always have enough Energy pooled to reapply your Bleeds instantly when they are about to fade, and for taking advantage of your procs.

4. Learn on your mistakes, and always try to improve.
