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.

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.

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 and Enchanting on the weapon. That is the Ultimate pair on the live PvE offer for this spec. Open a card to land on Druid Feral.
