I have 3 talent points that I'm having trouble deciding between two talents. I want to be the best tank that I can while leveling (14/32/5) and I'm unsure whether to put the 3 points into Feral Aggression or Feral Instinct. Which would be of more benefit to me? Both of them are tempting: Instinct gives me a 9% increase in threat or Aggression's 24% greater reduction from Demoralizing Roar and 9% increase in damage from Ferocious Bite. The one thing I would like to know, does the 9% in threat from Feral Instinct cover every action that I take while in Bear? Thanks for your help!

Wulel,

Hope you don't mind if I just call you Wulel (lol). I am a 14/32/5 druid and love it. I can only tell you that after having to choose between these myself, I chose feral instinct.

Reason was that I didn't expect there would be very many occasionw when I'd be in a dungeon without a warrior. The effects of the standard demoralizing roar and the warriors seem to be fine. I wanted to have the increased threat and stealth from FI. As far as the threat is concerned, to the best of my knowledge any skill that causes threat is increased.

I would like to hear from someone who chose aggression to know if the increase is noticeable and worth it, especially when you'll have warriors demo-shouting also. Finally, I wanted to say I really like your tag line. The feathers thing. Very good.

this is my 14/32/5 build. Without feral instinct I was still able to hold aggro on Vannadar the entire fight in AV with 30ish other people going all out on him. The extra threat is nice but when you really need to hold aggro you should be able to keep it. Warriors should be smart enough to not waste rage taunting when they see there is another tank who has aggro controlled.

Ok, the only difference is that you put your points into Feral Aggression. I imagine thats a better dungeon choice here Feral Instinct would be the better PVP option? Geez, if i respecced to move those 5 points it would cost 50 gold, lol.
