Please let me know what you think.

Let me comment on a few things, that I am pretty sure you guys might mention.

Up to this point, I have always been Cat Feral spec druid. With the 1.8 changes I have decided to stick with Cat Feral. And I know from my playstyle this makes the most sense.

I am however concerned with a few things in my own build. Main that which I have removed from my spec, IMotW. I have been reading alot on here. Many seem to be doing the same. I know I might be making a mistake.. but I just don't see what I can sacrifice for it. I need everythign I'm taking. Can you advise where I can free up 5 points? I just don't see where.

The only possible place would be 3 points in Natural Shapshifter and 2 from Improved Shred.

But I find with my playstyle.. I tend to shift out alot. Especially in battlegrounds. I shift out to heal or to root or cast Nature's grasp or whever it may be. I tend to shift alot. So I really thing saving 30% mana on on the shifting is important. Maybe I'm wrong.. you agree?

And as for Impoved shred. Well I tend to play alt as Cat in my groups. Not to mention it's very usefull in Battlegrounds. More often then ot.. a mage will be busy casting or another hunter shooting.. and won't necessarily turn to me right away.. So I often get to use Shred. I find it very usefull.

Furor is also very important.. having that extra Rage or energy is nice. It's more then half the time that I'll get that extra energy. Which is pretty nice. So not sure I want to give up that either.

I'm not sure.. would love to hear your opinions.. I'm sure you guys have tons :)

Thanks, Domi (56 Tauren Druid)

I am SO ripping that build.

You need full furor though...

I gotta say those 3pts in Furor look like the weak spot. I'd take 2 pts outta Feral Instinct and get full furor... or drop Furor all together and get Improved Thorns or Primal Fury. I love the 40 energy/rage... so that's almost a must have for any rest/feral build.

I droped Improved MoTW along time ago in my ol' 9/11/31 build and I don't see any issues. No one has ever said 'omg you don't have imp motw'... and I don't think it's worth 5 talent pts for me.

What's wrong with you?! =)

Furor is bread and butter. Take 2 points out of the most unneeded 5rank skill to use with furor.

35% is not incredibly noticeable. Besides, that's what balance druids are for!

hmmm, so whats wrong with feral aggression?

The problem with Feral Aggresion is there's only 51 talent pts to be spent and alot of desirable talents.

Here's 3 reasons I personally favor Ferocity > Feral Aggresion.

1) Bear is helped alot by the 5 rage pt reductions... bear is our bread and butter... you can say you favor cat all you want, bear is the power house.

2) How much more defense does bear need? I use demoralizing roar... but with bear's already obscene AC, I find I get enough damage mitigation from gear/bear as is. FB + 15% damage is nice, and if they were just giving it away I'd take it... but as it is I favor Rip as my combo move, particularly in pvp where usually I only open with cat. Now if it were 15% to ravage.....

3) As I already said, what do you give up for it? Furor? Natural weapons? Ferocity?


The only reason to take Feral Aggresions is if you want to be the best bear tank there is... if your worried about DPS... you'd do better getting Furror or Natural Weapons in Resto/balance then overloading Feral.

Im new to this druid class, but this build seems like fun.
What order should you pick what talens in this build?

Hope someone can help me out with it

I am kinda having the same issue. Though, i tend to like primal fury, it makes gaining rage for Frenzied Regeneration a breeze, and very quick. I am mostly debating between Improved Shred, Feral Agression and Feral Instinct.

Can anyone comment on how this distribution looks:

Ferocity rank 5/5
Feral Aggression rank 3/5
Brutal Impact rank 2/2
Feline Swiftness rank 2/2
Feral Charge rank 1/1
Sharpened Claws rank 3/3
Predatory Strikes rank 3/3
Blood Frenzy rank 2/2
Primal Fury rank 2/2
Savage Fury rank 2/2
Faerie Fire (Feral) rank 1/1
Heart of the Wild rank 5/5
Leader of the Pack rank 1/1

I really would like to pick up Feral Instinct for the stealth enhancment, but cannot figure out what to drop. Maybe i should drop Feral Agression for 3 points in it.

Is improved shred really worth it? and if so, what are some ideeas on what to drop to pick it up?

The overall build is here (My Build (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/druids2/talents.html?0140053010000000530202130322215105000 0000000000)) but i have the staple 14 points in balance, and 5 in restore for furor
