Heys

Im a 58 feral druid and have the following build (also copied it to the bottom of this post since that homepage is so frekking slow :(:

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/druids2/talents.html?0140053000000000550202130310215105000 0000000000

I thus got 2 points left to spend, and its completely impossible for me to chose.

If u have some good pros and cons, id really like to hear them. Some of my reasoning is the following:

I dont care about 4% thick hide because i think cost/benefit isnt proportional
I dont care about threat and increased prowl of feral instinct because i never get to tank and so i dont wanna spend talentpoints on a talent that gives me only ½ the benefits
Same goes for improved shred - i hardly ever use shred - and i think 60 energy - and even 48 - is far too expensive compared to the damage output and its (lack of) frequency.

but maybe i should care...?

So my choice is:

Blood frenzy
primal fury
improved rage
improved mark of the wild
natures reach

But i maybe have some options that i overlooked?

Well, what u think, where'd u spend the last 2 points?

thx alot!

Have you considered Omen of Clairty? You already have the 5 points in Natural Weapons and its well worth the one talent point. I'm mostly a caster and have it, but when using my feral forms I find the free attack invaluable; as it allows my rage / energy to continue to build and I can still have a 'special attack'.

Personally I would go for Natures Focus but I don't know if that would suit you. That chance to continue through interrupt has saved me more times than I can count. Agree with you on OoC I tried it for a short period and found it rather useless, but it sounded cool I guess if you cast often.

I guess blood frenzy and primal fury even tho you said you never tank.

I'm finding that after the 1.8 patch that OoC is occuring more times then it did before the patch. I can go through a battle with it occuring at least once (and thats at least) and if it happens at the end of the battle I just shift out of feral form and use the free sp to cast a healing prayer on myself. I consider OoC to be one of my most valuable skills, right after Nature's Focus.

Now given the build that is above the one point that it takes to get OoC would be well with it (imho).

Ok you have said you never get to tank and I assume you aren't just a healbot. That means you are spending time hitting things in cat form. If you are hitting something from cat form and you are not in stealth, Shred is by far our best attack and is very useful at 48 energy. Claws damage grows at 100% the rate your AP grows, Shreds grows at 225% the rate your AP grows. The more AP you gain the more Shred outdamages claw and the stronger it gets.

If you don't like OOC my choice would be improved shred for the long haul.
