Welcome to the Mists of Pandaria , Feral Druid Guide by Arberian021 . This is a guide for beginners on Feral Druids , World of Warcraft F2P gamers who have never played Feral Druids and for some guys who need to know how to gear up , or for those who want to know DPS rotations of the feral.
This guide has 6 Parts:
2-Races
Alliance:
All the races of the alliance give you good abilities , and good passive effects. They are all viable for Feral Druids.
Worgen :
Darkflight : A very useful speed increase ability that can be used to escape, to reach the enemy faster , or to return the flag faster on different battlegrounds. This ability increases your movement speed by 40%.
Viciousness : Increases your critical chance by 1% . Is a very good passive because a critical in the right time can save a game, or u can crit to win a duel.
Aberration : Reduces 1% shadow and nature damage. Sometimes this can save your character’s life .
Flayer : Skinning Skil increased by 15 and allows you to skin faster. Can be used to level skinning faster to 100 , allowing you to create the right armor kits more easy.
Two-forms : Allows you to turn into a human-Worgen. Has no benefits.
Worgen are a very good race for feral druids , because they can run fast , they got critical boost and reduce 1% nature and shadow damage.
Night Elves :
Shadowmeld : Reduces your threat and also allow you to hide. This ability can be used to escape or to allow you to Prowl again.
Quckness : Reduces the chance that meele and ranged attacks will hit you by 2%. Very useful because this passive effect is a survival one.
Wisp Spirit : Increases our movement speed by 25% while you are dead. This doesn’t really serve in Battlegrounds , or battles...
Nature Resistance : Reduces 1% nature damage. Is a good passive effect because this allows you to take reduced damage and may save your character’s life.
Elusiviness : : Increases movement speed while stalthed by 5% and reduces the chance enemies will detect you. This ability allows you to move faster while prowled.
Also night elves got 7 agility bonus on Druids comparing to the other classes. They can also use prowl for a second time in battle if they use Shadowmeld.
Horde :
Taurens :
Endurance : Increases your base health by 5%. Very good passive effect because it helps you to survive!!
War Stomp : Stuns up to 5 enemies within 8 yards for 2 seconds. May serve as an interrupt, allowing you to kill healers or to stop damaging spells.
Cultivation : Increases herbalism skill by 15. Allows you to gather herbs for higher herbalism levels faster.
Nature Resistance : Reduces Nature damage taken by 1%.
Taurens are very good as Feral Druids. They can interrupt spells and got bonus health. They can also reduce 1% nature damage.
Trolls :
Berserking : Increases your total haste by 20% for 10 sec. This allows you to generate more energy and increases your auto attack speed by 20% making your auto attacks faster, allowing you to deal more damage with auto attacks.
Regeneration : Allows 10% of the HP regeneration continue while in combat. A good passive effects which helps a Feral Druid to survive.
Beast slaying : increases damage dealt versus beasts by 5% . U really don’t need this passive effects if you are a Feral Druid.
Dead Eye : Increases expertise with guns, crossbows and bows by 1%. You don’t really need this.
Da Voodoo Shuffle : Reduces the duration of movements impairing effects by 15%. Very useful against different types of spellcasters/hunters.
Trolls got good survival abilities , and they can deal high damage with berserking.
--All races all viable for feral druids, but the druids benefit from the racial abilities in different ways. For example: Taurens' abilities give the druid a stun and increased HP--
3-Abilities
1-Moonfire : Deals Arcane damage instantly and arcane damage over time. Not very useful on feral.
2-Wrath : Deals nature damage to the enemy. Not Very useful on feral.
3-Rejuvenation : Basic healing ability. Must be kept active while in battle.
4-Rake : An ability that causes bleed damage over 16 seconds. Always keep active on your enemies.
5-Mangle : Primary damage dealing ability. Use it to generate combo points.
6-Rip : An bleeding ability that deals bleed damage over 18 seconds based on combo points. Deals high damage when used on 5 combo points.
7-Savage Roar : : Increases damage dealt by 40%, but requires combo points. I suggest you to use this ability when u have 4 or 5 combo points because this allows you to deal high damage.
8-Tiger's Fury : This ability generates 60 energy and increases physical damage by 15% for 6 seconds. Use this ability when u need energy or when you have savage roar buff active and have 3 active combo points on the target so you can use Ferocious Bite.
9-Ferocious Bite : An ability which deals damage based on attack power and on combo points. Always use this ability when you have 5 combo poins, savage roar active and Tiger’s Fury Active.
10-Entangling Roots : Use this ability to keep an enemy rooted or to escape.
11-Shred : An basic attacking ability that deals extra damage if on the target are bleeding effects.
But how to use these abilities?!
Well it depends on target’s armor:
If target has cloth or leather armor use these abilities:
1-Rake
2-Mangle ( or Shred )
3-Mangle ( or Shred )
4-Rake
5-Savage Roar ==> 4 or 5 combo points
6-Mangle ( or Shred )
7-Mangle ( or Shred )
8-Rake
9-Mangle ( or Shred )
10-Tiger’s Fury
11-Mangle ( or Shred )
12-Ferocious Bite ==> 5 combo points , it is sure it will deal 1300-1800 damage if u have savage roar buff active
If target has mail armor use these abilities:
1-Rake
2- Mangle ( or Shred )
3- Mangle ( or Shred )
4- Mangle ( or Shred )
5- Rake
6-Savage Roar ==> 5 combo points
7- Mangle ( or Shred )
8- Mangle ( or Shred )
9- Mangle ( or Shred )
10-Rake
11- Mangle ( or Shred )
12-Rip ==> 5 combo points
13- Mangle ( or Shred )
14- Mangle ( or Shred )
15-Rake
16- Tiger’s Fury
17 -Mangle ( or Shred )
18- Mangle ( or Shred )
19- Ferocious Bite ==> 5 combo points
Some players are gonna ask why using Rip and not immediately Ferocious Bite. It is simple: Bleeds ignore armor and that would deal an high damage over armored targets.
4-Talents :
1-Wild Charge :
2-Feline Swiftness : Increases movement speed by 15%.
This ability helps your to move faster and to reach multiple enemies faster. Also allows you to escape faster.
3-Displacer Beast : Allows you to teleport 20 yards forward and increases movement speed by 50%.
Alows your to escape faster from battle.
In order to deal high damage I would suggest you the first or the second talent stated before.
5-Stats :
Primary: Agility ==> Increases critical strike and attack power allowing you to deal more damage.
Stamina ==>Increases your stamina so you can resist more in battle.
Secondary:Critical Strike ==> Increases the chance that you will deal 200% normal damage when using an
ability that deals damage.
Haste==> Increases auto attack speed, allowing you to attack more faster and increases your
energy regeneration rate.
