Cat and Bear in dungeons and raids
Feral in Forever groups is Cat on the boss hip and Bear when the tank needs a wall. Threat on the 1st
dungeons pull is the Bear job. Hub for forms: Druid hub. Flags and arenas: Feral PvP. Caster lockouts: Balance PvE.
Feral spend for Cat DPS and Bear tanking
Talent names stay provisional (beta, 24 September 2026). Hub has the 3-tree map. This page is the Cat + Bear path only.
Early levels: Cat for quests, Bear for elite tags. Stay in Feral. A Balance Moonfire splash is optional for tagging from range.
Mid levels: Cat bleeds on single targets. Bear holds 5-man packs. Mitigation numbers wait on Blizzard.
At 60: finish Feral, then the Forever gold row. Do not invent a Classic 51-point total. Recheck when the
Druid kit posts.
