Feral druid pvp 6.2.38/31/2023 Feral Druids in particular excel at this role because their DPS in Cat Form is high enough to poke a large hole in an attacker's health pool before being forced to swap to Dire Bear Form for more survivability and crowd control. The ability for the Druid to stealth allows them to warn their team of incoming enemy players in order to seek reinforcements. Rather than feeling like a "budget Rogue", the Feral spec really forges a unique identity this expansion that is centered around its powerful bleeds Rake and Rip, which have both been significantly buffed relative to TBC and become a priority to maintain with high uptime on your opponents.īattleground Viability for Feral Druid DPS in Wrath of the Lich Kingįeral Druids are very effective at spinning flags in Arathi Basin because they can stick to a flag while stealthed, allowing them to get the jump on players attempting to back cap when the base appears to be unguarded. Furthermore, Ferals are no longer limited to pairing only with Rogues in 2v2 teams, and can now be slotted into a variety of 2v2 and 3v3 team compositions, making them a more versatile choice of teammate in WotLK. The sheer quantity of impactful damage, crowd control, healing, and utility buttons across the three shapeshift forms make the spec quite unfriendly to beginner players, but also make Feral PvP extremely rewarding to master with practice.Īrena Viability for Feral Druid DPS in Wrath of the Lich KingĬompared to TBC, where Feral Druids were rarely seen at high Arena ratings, Ferals will be a lot more common in competitive WotLK Arenas. When played at a high level, Feral Druids are a top tier threat in WotLK PvP, but the spec is very difficult to play well enough to realize its full potential (just like in PvE). PvP Viability for Feral Druid DPS in Wrath of the Lich King But the most iconic new Feral PvP talent is Predatory Strikes, which causes finishing moves like Savage Roar and Rip to proc Predator's Swiftness, allowing the Feral Druid to fire off an instant cast Cyclone to completely shut down a chosen target. The raw burst damage output of Feral Druids also gets a big boost in WotLK via the introduction of Berserk, which halves the Energy cost of all Cat Form abilities. WotLK also adds the new direct healing spell Nourish, which synergizes with the spec's existing healing over time (HoT) toolkit of Lifebloom, Rejuvenation, and Regrowth to help keep teammates alive. The new Infected Wounds talent allows Ferals to kite opposing melee DPS with ease. The Maim ability now functions as a full stun like Kidney Shot, and also serves as a reliable spell interrupt. WotLK provides Feral Druids with a number of new tools that enable them to fill this "hybrid DPS" niche in PvP. In this context, a good Feral Druid will utilize all of their shapeshift forms to provide the appropriate utility at any given time: Cat Form for stealth openers and burst, Dire Bear Form for interrupts and stuns, and caster form for roots and heals. As a result, Feral Druids perform best when paired with teammates who provide a complimentary crowd control toolkit to keep enemies locked down and susceptible to the Feral's very high burst damage for long enough to secure a kill.Ĭompared to a "pure" DPS class like a Rogue, Feral Druids deal less damage but provide unique utility in the form of roots, slows, Cyclone, and group healing. As a heavily DPS leaning hybrid spec, Feral Druids are unable to fully outheal incoming damage, so they must instead kill enemy players quickly during burst windows before inevitably taking fatal damage themselves. This role is quite different from that of Druid PvP builds that spec heavily into the Restoration tree, where the Druid instead focuses on long term sustainability to outlast the opposing team. In a PvP setting, a Feral Druid plays the role of a burst damage dealer, taking advantage of opportunistic windows for unleashing concentrated single target damage on an enemy player.
