Furor now keeps the Energy you had in Cat Form when you shift to Bear Form. Bear Form still stops Energy regeneration. Faerie Fire now generates threat in Bear Form. Shred is learned at level 20 (was 22). Full list: October 15 patch notes. On our tier list Feral stays B for DPS and Bear Druid holds B for tanks.

Feral spend for Cat DPS and Bear tanking

Blizzard published the Druid kit on 30 September 2026. Talents open at level 10, gold milestones sit at 11, 16, 21 and 31 points, and Dual Specialization at level 40 lets 1 Druid keep a Cat spec and a Bear spec. Feral point spends come from the beta, which closed on 23 October. The hub has the 3-tree map. This page is the Cat + Bear path only.

Predatory DisciplineCat, 16 points
LacerateBear, 16 points
Shifting PowerCat, 31 points
Primal BiteBear, 31 points

Cat build. Tiger’s Fury is gone. Predatory Discipline is the Cat gold talent at 16 points. With it, Ferocious Bite no longer converts your extra Energy into damage. It still deals extra damage based on your excess Energy. Shifting Power is now the Cat talent at 31 points, with Predatory Discipline as its prerequisite. It grants 40 Energy at once for a large Mana cost. Shred deals 200% weapon damage (was 155%), and Claw deals 140% (was 110%). Rip, Rake, Ferocious Bite and Pounce gain about 25% base damage and Attack Power scaling. Ferocious Bite has a new rank 1 at level 24. Poised is a new passive at level 32: out of combat at maximum Energy, your next Energy ability costs 10 less Energy. Feral Charge (11 points) gets a Cat version with a cooldown of 30 seconds. Predatory Strikes raises crit damage by up to 20%, and Rend and Tear adds 3/6/9/12/15% damage on bleeding targets. Leader of the Pack (21 points) now raises all types of critical strike for the whole raid. It does not stack with Moonkin Aura. Furor now keeps the Energy you had in Cat Form when you shift to Bear Form. Bear Form still stops Energy regeneration.

Bear tank talents. Lacerate is now the Bear gold talent at 16 points: a stacking bleed with high threat. Primal Bite is now the Bear talent at 31 points, with Leader of the Pack as its prerequisite. It costs 20 Rage, deals 100% weapon damage plus a bonus and generates very high threat. Blizzard picked it over Mangle. Thick Hide now turns Defense skill into Armor, so Bear tanks gear Defense like Warriors. Natural Reaction adds dodge and a chance at 5 Rage every time you dodge, Frenzied Regeneration can heal 100% of your health, and Growl now matches Taunt’s cooldown. Since the 15 October notes, Faerie Fire also generates threat in Bear Form. Bear Form and Dire Bear Form now add 115% threat (was 50%). That makes up for Blessing of Salvation being removed.

At 60. Berserk is removed. The 31-point row holds 2 talents: Primal Bite for Bear and Shifting Power for Cat.

Leather and weapons through dungeon week into raids

Feral wants leather with the merged hit/crit pool, plus a heavy weapon for Bear. Cat wants agi and weapon DPS.

The weapon matters more than in Classic. In Cat, Bear and Dire Bear Form your auto attack now deals your equipped weapon’s DPS at a swing speed of 1.0 or 2.5 seconds, and Crusader, weightstones, potions and Windfury Totem all work without leaving form. Bear tanks also want Defense items, because Thick Hide turns Defense skill into Armor.

Week 1. Quest leather every 5 levels. Skip caster staves. Week-1 leather.

Weeks 2 to 3. 1 full dungeons clear for quests. Keep a Bear set and a Cat set if bags allow. Pre-raid Feral.

From 9 December. Walk Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit and Onyxia. Replace Cat and Bear slots from lockouts. Raid carries.

Leatherworking and enchants for Feral

Feral lockouts want Leatherworking armor. The Ultimate pair on the live PvE offer for this spec is Leatherworking + Skinning: the hides come from your own route. Balanced is Leatherworking + Enchanting on the weapon. Open a card to land on Druid Feral.
