Feral Druid Compendium
Written by Crazymeow, Cheesey
News
11.0.5 Changes
- 5% buff to Rake
- 20% buff to Shred
- Wild Slashesbuff from 25->40%
- Ravage's buff duration buffed from 15s->20s
- Swarm/Convoke icons updated
This comes out to around 2% buff in single target, and a significant buff for Wild Slashes. Wild Slashes is still going to be behind in dungeon builds but it's in playable range for sure. Main drawback is its horrendous single target damage. A sample build has been added to the Dungeon Talents section.
Blackrock Depths raid
There is nothing of note in this raid for Feral Druids power-wise. The available trinkets are subpar, and Flame Wrath is too low item level to be worth over crafted/myth track weapons. That being said, the raid is another source of hero-track gear if you are lacking in that department.
Non-power wise, you can get updated transmogs of the T2 set bonuses and other cosmetics in this patch. See this Wowhead guide for more information. To see the T2 appearances, try this page

Single Target
Advanced Single Target Priority
What is a priority list?
When reading the priority lists below, you should not think about these as steps to follow in a specific order. At any given point in combat, you should cast the first thing in the list that you are able to cast.
The way this section is written is very formulaic and has the same structure as the Action Priority List (APL) used in sims.
Pre-Combat:
- Heart of the Wild
- Prowl
- Rakefrom stealth.
Select which talents you have to filter the priority list:
Single Target Priority List:
Highest Priority: Cooldowns
- Tiger's Furyat 5 combo points or if you're missing 35+ energy, whichever happens first.
- Ferocious Bitewith Apex Predator's Cravingprocs if it won't disrupt procing Bloodtalons.
- Ferocious Bitewith Apex Predator's Cravingprocs.
- Adaptive Swarmwhen:
- Ripis up. AND
- There isn't an Adaptive Swarmheading to your target, AND
- Adaptive Swarmis either missing or about to expire with 1/2 stacks. For example, with 3 stacks, you would refresh as soon as Adaptive Swarmfalls off.
- Adaptive Swarmconditions change based on the amount of Adaptive Swarmsyou have out:
- If you have 3 Adaptive Swarmswith at least 2 stacks out, then you will target allies with priority 1 stack > 0 stack > 2 stacks.
- If you have 2 or fewer Adaptive Swarmsof at least 2 stacks, cast on your enemy target when swarm is not on them, and is not traveling towards them.
- Incarnationif it's ready.
- Berserkif it's ready. This should always be paired with Tiger's Fury.
- Feral Frenzywith 1 or no combo points. 2 combo points is also acceptable during Incarn.
- Feral Frenzywith 1 or no combo points. 2 combo points is also acceptable during Berserk.
- Convokewhen:
- Ripis up. AND
- Tiger's Furyis up. AND
- You have 2 or fewer combo points outside Berserkor 3 or fewer inside Berserk.
- You may also Convokeif the fight is about to end. Usually you want to Convokewith Berserk.
Second Priority: Finishers
- As Wildstalker there are 2 scenarios where you can use 3+ combo point rips:
- Ripis in pandemic range near the start of Tiger's Fury
- Riphas less than 16 seconds remaining at the end of Tiger's Fury

- Rakeis in pandemic OR you would be upgrading Rake's snapshot value.
- Tiger's Furyis up.
- Rakeif any of these are true:
- Rakeis in pandemic and Tiger's Furyis up.
- Rakeis in pandemic and will expire before Tiger's Furyis up. Delay as long as reasonable if you are downgrading its snapshot value.

Talents:
Raid Talents:
Feral has a lot of build options for raid, and perhaps the most significant choices of those being which Hero tree you play. Here, we’ll try to outline situations you might play one or the other, but keep in mind both are competitive and nothing should be set in stone. It’s recommended you play around and see what works for you, and to also check out what others are running on logs.
Note: until you get your 4-set, you should play Wildstalker.
Single Target: With 4-set, Wildstalker is a bit better in pure single-target, especially with Druid of the Claw being punished slightly more by downtime compared to Wildstalker.
Fights with Adds: Druid of the Claw will often be the better option, particularly as adds in raid are typically short-lived. Ravageplays into this much better than Bloodseeker Vines. That and Druid of the Claw has Bestial Strengthoffering better AOE with just a single talent point invested into Primal Wrath. Conversely, Wildstalkers focus on damage over time effects naturally loses value when mobs die too quickly.
Cleave or Council fights: With extended multi-target (2-4), Wildstalker likely wins out slightly, as its multi-target value is partly dependent on Rake and targets living long enough. That being said, the two are fairly close in this scenario, and the choice likely depends on other factors on these sorts of fights.
Mythic Neru'bar Palace Raid Builds
Generic raid build archetypes.
Please note you can significantly customise the above, see the talent write-up in the following M+ section. Or take inspiration from the given Mythic Raid talents.
Dungeon Talents:
Feral goes into TWW with even more options when it comes to M+, with both Hero trees creating two distinct options on their own, and within each the widest variety of spec-tree talent options yet. Embrace these options and find what works for you, there is simply no ‘best’ build, especially because different talents will suit different dungeons and groups. However listed below are some reference builds you can play around with, and the images above can help guide you to customise these builds to your liking.
Talent Explanations:
Section 1 Options Explained
Tireless Energy: generally it’s recommended you take 1 point in this, unless running Thrashing Claws as Wildstalker. Two points as Druid of the Claw can be decent too.
Double-Clawed Rake: always run this as Wildstalker. Optionally strong for cleave and medium (pug-size) pulls as Druid of the Claw.
Merciless Claws: particularly good as Druid of the Claw, providing good single-target, decent AOE, and great burst, particularly due to its synergy with Berserk: Frenzy.
Thrashing Claws: great option if running Lunar Inspiration, frees up more globals to Moonfire more. Video guide here.
Section 2 Options Explained
Taste for Blood: strong single-target and funnel (if a particular dungeon has priority mobs you want to funnel Apex procs into). Strong synergy with Convoke, and particularly Druid of the Claw in general.
Infected Wounds: decent single-target and cleave, particularly good if playing Double-Clawed Rakeand Wildstalker in general. As Druid of the Claw this is generally only taken if playing Taste for Blood.
Sudden Ambush: good single-target, and similar to above can be great for cleave due to the synergy it has with Double-Clawed Rake. Generally recommended as Wildstalker, but this expansion can be easily skipped as Druid of the Claw for dungeons with large pull sizes or when playing Merciless Claws‘swipe builds’.
Savage Fury: great burst and great for larger pull sizes, however a little bit less effective on single-target. Longer travel time between packs in some dungeons can give time for TF to reset, thereby giving talents like this higher overall uptime as well. Also of note, one of the m+ affixes this season gives cooldown reduction, which this talent greatly benefits from.
Lunar Inspiration: strong single-target and cleave as Wildstalker, and can help proc Bloodtalons more often.
Moment of Clarity: good single-target and decent all-rounder, can help if you are struggling with energy too.
Raging Furyvs Tiger’s Tenacity: both are good for both Hero trees, Tiger’s Tenacity is generally a bit better overall, particularly with DOT-focused builds, but Raging Fury is competitive and the added uptime can be useful depending on how long packs are living, or if you simply prefer playing with a higher uptime on Tiger’s Fury.
Brutal Slashvs Wild Slashes: Brutal Slashis always better, largely due to it being a relevant dps gain in Single Target, unlike Wild Slashes. That being said, Wild Slasheshas a straightforward way of playing, and is decent enough to comment on. Do NOT pair Wild Slasheswith Double-Clawed Rake. Talent Merciless Clawsinstead.
Section 3 Options Explained
Convokevs Incarn: Druid of the Claw in general favours Convoke, however both are competitive as Wildstalker, with an edge towards Convoke. Similar to last expansion, Convokeis a bit more single-target oriented than Incarn, however it still offers great AOE burst as well. If you drop Taste for Bloodwith Wildstalker, Incarn should be very competitive, and I recommend playing around with it in different dungeons, especially if there’s any boss mechanics you can dodge with the free Prowl cast.
Bloodtalonsvs Lion’s Strength: similar to last expansion, feel free to play the latter for an easier option if you are learning the spec or simply prefer it. The difference is probably even smaller than sims suggest as you’ll be making less mistakes and can focus that tiny bit more on mechanics or crowd control.
Adaptive Swarm: good for both Hero trees, with 1 point in bees is one of the single best options you can take for pure single-target, and I would recommend running it almost all the time as Wildstalker. 2 points into Unbridled‘beekeeping’ is where it gets really interesting if you want more cleave and AOE value, particularly on medium size pulls. However its value drops off on really large AOE.
Carnivorous Instinct: good all-rounder, with particular strength in large AOE, and for burst, due to not only amplifying Tiger’s Fury, but also synergies with Berserkand Convoke. Related to burst, it’s one of the only talents in the bottom section that buffs Brutal Slash for example, which again is stronger inside of Berserk. Gains even more value if playing Raging Fury.
Feral Frenzy: a good single-target/prio option for both Hero trees, and decent in AOE as well, as it can help you weave Ferocious Bitewith the free combo points.
Rip & Tearvs Veinripper: this node is more competitive than ever, and somewhat comes down to R&T offering more AOE, with Veinripper offering more priority damage - as the added Ripduration in AOE can help you weave Ferocious Bite. However the added Rakeduration is also great for Wildstalker, with more Rakeuptime resulting in higher Bloodseeker Vinesuptime.
Saber Jaws: a pure single-target option for Druid of the Claw, its value will vary significantly based on dungeon.
Consumables:
Potions
Tempered Potion is your dps potion for every situation.
Algari Healing Potion is the only health potion available. That being said, if you find yourself equipped with an engineering crafted piece, Heartseeking Health Injector can situationally be a superior option.
Food
Feast of the Midnight Masquerade, Feast of the Divine Day and Beledar's Bounty are all essentially equal, with Beledar's Bounty being by far the cheapest option.
Phials
Flask of Alchemical Chaos for every situation
Weapon Oils/Stones
Ironclaw Whetstone/Ironclaw Weightstone or Algari Mana Oil. These have very similar value, though Algari Mana Oil is much cheaper.
Augment Rune
Gearing:
Stat Priority:
Sim yourself using Raidbots Top Gear. Do not follow any stat priorities.
Gems and Enchants
Gems: 1x Elusive Blasphemite or Culminating Blasphemite and a mixture of the other gems based on your sims. It is not worth slotting in a Stamina gem. Personally don't think Elusive Blasphemite is necessary as a Feral Druid, given that we already have a lot of speed, but it would be a disservice to not mention it.
Weapon: Authority of the Depths or Authority of Radiant Power The former provides better pure single target damage, while the latter is better with more targets-- and Neru'bar Palace has a lot of adds. Thereotically, Stonebound Artistry is the best for pure AoE, but that is fairly rare.
Chest: Crystalline Radiance
Cloak: Chant of Winged Grace
Legs: Stormbound Armor Kit
Wrist: Chant of Armored Avoidance
Boots: Defender's March or Scout's March
Ring: You should always sim your own character to determine what enchant to use in this slot. They tend to be very close. If you don't want to sim, Radiant Mastery is usually a safe choice.
Crafting
- Charged Halberd (or any crafted 2h agi weapon) with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension. If you already have a myth track weapon, you can skip this.
- Sim the best slot for your gear using Writhing Armor Banding (if you have weapon with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension) or Elemental Focusing Lens for Raid. For mythic+ you should instead use Dawnthread Lining.
- Can continue doing the above, but keep in mind that the crest-cost for Crafting is less efficient than upgrading looted gear-- so you'll likely not want to expend your crests until you replace weapon or if you don't care about crest efficiency.
Special Note: You can craft 610 PvE item level PvP gear with Forged Gladiator's Heraldry and slot your 2nd embellishment slot on that at the start. This requires farming 525-700 conquest depending on item slot. This item can additionally be socketed by farming Honor to purchase Vicious Jeweler's Setting.
Trinkets
These trinket lists are in rough order of strength, assuming the highest item level version of the items. You should always sim your own character to determine which trinkets you should equip.
For use in Raid:
- Skardyn's Grace
- Treacherous Transmitter No reason to use this trinket since Skardyn's Grace is farmable, easier to use, and stronger. Play as 2 minute CD.
- Mad Queen's Mandate This is our strongest trinket to pair with Skardyn's Grace despite being a 2nd on-use.
- Ovi'nax's Mercurial Egg Now that this trinket has been fixed, its competitive but worse than Mad Queen's Mandate as long as Mastery is your highest secondary. Try to hover around 20 stacks of agi/standing still.
- Void Reaper's Contract
- Ara'kara Sacbrood
- Dead-eye Spyglass
- Empowering Crystal of Anub'ikkaj
For use in Mythic+:
- Skardyn's Grace In keys, this is a must-have trinket. It's farmable and also clearly the best choice.
- Treacherous Transmitter. Generally weaker than Skardyn's Grace, unless you have the cooldown reduction mythic plus affix that week, where it really shines due to its cooldown being shorter than 2 minutes.
- Ovi'nax's Mercurial Egg This is generally going to be your next-best option for keys, though you can certainly make a case for Mad Queen's Mandate if you need more single-target or to burst important adds down.
- Mad Queen's Mandate
- Dead-eye Spyglass
- Empowering Crystal of Anub'ikkaj
- Ara'kara Sacbrood
- Shadow-Binding Ritual Knife
Trinket FAQ
Q: How does Ovi'nax's Mercurial Egg work in sims and can I change the stacks?
A: To sim Ovi'nax's Mercurial Egg at different stack counts, copy the following into the Custom APL box in Raidbots:
thewarwithin.ovinaxs_mercurial_egg_initial_primary_stacks=20
thewarwithin.ovinaxs_mercurial_egg_desired_primary_stacks=20
From here, you can tweak the desired_primary_stacks value to see how the trinket performs at different stack counts. The sim will hover around the desired stack count of the 'standing still' buff. The given is the default setting.
Q: Shadow-Binding Ritual Knife is simming better than some of the other stuff on this list for me, should I use it?
A: Absolutely. This trinket is particularly potent for its item level, the only reason it isn't on the list is because it can't be acquired at myth track item level.
Q: How do I use Treacherous Transmitter?
A: Treat it like a 2 minute on-use, but make sure you send it a few seconds before cooldowns. This gives you time to complete the task for when you want the buff.
There are 3 possible tasks.
- Jump three times
- Stand on a purple disc
- Collect a moving orb
You can use this weakaura to track the task you need to complete.
Q: Why does Mad Queen's Mandate do more damage as Wildstalker?
A: The Wildstalker Hero Talent Vigorous Creepersbuffs non-feral damage as well, including the damage from the trinket.
Miscellaneous:
What is snapshotting?
Snapshotting refers to the process of continually ensuring that your strongest bleeds are ticking on your targets. The strength of feral bleed ticks is snapshotted (calculated) at the moment of application and lasts for the duration of the bleed. If certain buffs are active when the bleed is applied, such as Tiger's Fury, the damage of its snapshot will be stronger. A good feral player is aware of this and will weave between applying stronger bleeds and leaving currently ticking bleeds alone.
Tracking the strength of different bleeds across multiple/changing mobs is notoriously difficult, so we recommend the use of Weak Aura bleed packages such as those found in dreamgrove.gg. All our WA packages follow the same general format:
- If the bleed’s icon is highlighted in green or its number is higher than 100: this is a stronger bleed than the one you currently have active.
- If the bleed’s icon is highlighted in grey or its number is equal to 100: equal value bleed
- If the bleed’s icon is highlighted in red or its number is lower than 100: this is a weaker bleed than the one you currently have active.
Note: You will not necessarily upgrade every snapshot. Please review the rotation section.
Which bleeds are snapshotted?
- All Feral dots and bleeds will snapshot at higher values when paired with Tiger's Fury
- Rakewill also snapshot
- Prowl
- Shadowmeld
- Sudden Ambushprocs due to Pouncing Strikes
- Ripwill also snapshot Bloodtalons
- Thrashwill also snapshot Moment of Clarity
A dot will ideally be applied only when 30% or less of the prior dot remains. This triggers a mechanic known as “pandemic,” which is common to most damage over time spells.
What is “pandemic range?”
This term refers to a DoT mechanic in WoW. The baseline duration of a DoT can be extended by up to 30% if a target is already affected by that DoT. Due to the 30% cap on extension, DoTs generally shouldn't be refreshed too early, as potential ticks will be lost. The ideal window of time to refresh a DoT is known as its “pandemic range.”
Let’s use an example. Consider a 10 second DoT:
- Refresh with 1s remaining: the new DoT will be 11s long (10s baseline duration + 1s from prior DoT)
- Refresh with 3s remaining: the new DoT will be 13s long (10s baseline duration + 3s from prior DoT)
- Refresh with 8s remaining: the new DoT will still be 13s long (10s baseline + up to 30% from prior DoT)
It is therefore most efficient to wait until 70% or more of your bleed has ticked to refresh its DoT.
Fun trivia: the name “pandemic” derives from an old warlock passive that was eventually integrated as a baseline feature of damage over time spells.
What is “clipping?”
Clipping refers to refreshing a dot prior to its pandemic window. Sometimes you will want to do this with Feral because of snapshotting and/or Bloodtalons.
Macros
Here, we provide a list of helpful macros. These macros are not required, but using them may elevate your gameplay. (Note: These macros are not set in stone. Customize them as you see fit!)
Cast Ursol's Vortex at your cursor location (@cursor macro):
#showtooltip
/cast [@cursor] Ursol's Vortex
Use your trinket(s) and/or weapon at the same time as an ability:
Some trinkets and weapons should be used with a major cooldown. A lot of players will bind these items with Berserk.
- 13 is the top trinket slot
- 14 is the bottom trinket slot
- 16 is your weapon slot
If you would like to use all three items with Berserk, use this macro:
#showtooltip
/use 13
/use 14
/use 16
/cast Berserk
This macro may be modified. For example, the macro below only uses the 2nd trinket with Berserk:
#showtooltip
/use 14
/cast Berserk
Cast Entangling Roots on your mouseover target:
This macro casts Entangling Roots on your mouseover target. If your mouse is not hovering over a target, the macro instead casts Entangling Roots on your current target.
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, harm, nodead] [] Entangling Roots
Dispel/Soothe on the same bind:
This is the classic help/harm macro, but using mouseovers as well.
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, harm, nodead] Soothe; [@mouseover, help, nodead] Remove Corruption; [harm, nodead] Soothe; Remove Corruption
Skull Bash your Focus target:
This macro casts Skull Bash on your focus target. If you have not set a focus target, the macro instead casts Skull Bash on your current target.
We recommend creating a keybind that will assign a target as your focus with one click. This option can be found in the game's keybind settings.
#showtooltip
/cast [@focus, harm, nodead] [] skull bash
Cast Adaptive Swarm on your ally or enemy mouseover target:
This macro casts Adaptive Swarm on a friendly mouseover target. If your mouse is not hovering over a target, the macro instead casts Adaptive Swarm on your current target.
Many abilities that are cast on allies - Rejuvenation, Regrowth, Innervate, etc - may be macro'd in this fashion. To make those macros, simply replace the term "Adaptive Swarm" with your spell of choice. If you want mouseover to work for both friendly and enemy targets, replace 'help' with 'exists'. If you want it to only work on enemy targets, replace 'help' with 'harm'.
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, help, nodead] [] Adaptive Swarm
Cast Rebirth on an ally:
This macro casts Rebirth on your current friendly but dead mouseover target. If your ally is alive, the macro instead casts Mark of the Wild.
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, help, dead] Rebirth; Mark of the Wild
Why does my mouseover macro not work?
You probably have it bound to a mouse button, which doesn't allow mouseover macros by default. To fix this, you can use an addon like Clicked, or just map the mouse-button to a different key. Backtick (`)/Tilde (~) can also have this issue. If you don't have it bound to a mouse-button and it still doesn't work, then there is likely an issue with the macro itself. In this case, it's almost always the ommission of help, harm or exists in the brackets containing mouseover.
Useful WeakAura(s) and Addons
Full WeakAura Packages for Feral
To play feral competently, many variables must be tracked. A single WeakAura is not up to this task, so our contributors have spent many hours assembling full WA packages from individual WeakAuras.
Each package contains multiple WeakAuras that work with each other to help you understand what's happening in combat. No package is superior to the others in the list. We recommend you try out several, and settle on your favorite.

Common Standalone WeakAuras and Addons
None of these WeakAuras or Addons are required, but using them may elevate your gameplay.
Feral Bleed Power by Oi This WA will make it easier to track the power of your next bleed compared to the currently active one. For more details, check out the WA description.
Feral Snapshots by Enth This Addon does many things, including tracking the talents, buffs and damage modifiers affecting DoT abilities. This information is displayed on WAs, standard Blizzard nameplates, Plater, and other addons. For more details, check out the Addon description.
Rake Plater mods by Sretnuh This links to a collection of Rake mods for the Plater addon. Their purpose is to help you track which targets have Rake at a glance. No listed mod is superior to the others. We recommend you try out several, and settle on your favorite.
Clearcasting Glows by Sretnuh This WA generates a glowing icon on your Shred, Thrash, Swipeand Brutal Slashbuttons when Clearcastingprocs. For more details, check out the WA description.
Apex Predator's Craving by Marvel This WA produces a glowing icon + sound cue when Apex Predator's Cravingprocs for a free bite. For more details, check out the WA description.
Adaptive Swarm Helper by KnewOne, updated by Drufearr This WA assists with proper use of Adaptive Swarm. It also includes Unbridled Swarm support for casting on allies. For more details, check out the WA description.
Bloodtalons Tracker from Fore's pack This WA tracks your progress towards crucial procs of Bloodtalons. Bloodtalons is procced when you cast three different combo point generation abilities within 4s. This WA displays the 4s timer. For more details, check out the WA description.
Bloodtalons Tracker from Cheesey's pack This WA is another alternative for tracking crucial procs of Bloodtalons. For more details, check out the WA description.
