TBC Classic Feral Druid DPS Phase 5 / Tier 6 Gear and Best in Slot

2.1.

TBC Phase 5 / Sunwell Plateau Feral DPS Druid Tier Set

Feral DPS Druid Tier 6, the Thunderheart Harness, is obtained from the following bosses:

Helm — Archimonde in Hyjal Summit
Chest — Illidan Stormrage in Black Temple
Legs — The Illidari Council in Black Temple
Shoulders — Mother Shahraz in Black Temple
Gloves — Azgalor in Hyjal Summit

Its set bonuses are:

2 pieces — reduces the energy cost of your Mangle (Cat) ability by 5 and increases the threat generated by your Mangle (Bear) ability by 15%. While not incredibly useful for the standard Wolfshead Helm rotation, the cost reduction on Mangle allows for a Shred > Mangle > Powershift rotation for (off) tank Druids who do not wish to use Wolfshead.
4 pieces — increases the damage dealt by your Rip, Swipe, and Ferocious Bite abilities by 15%. This amounts to a pretty decent damage increase from improved finisher damage.

3.

Phase 5 / Sunwell Plateau Best in Slot Table

Leatherworking is a great profession for instant drums and special crafted gear in Phase 5, and Engineering can increase your damage drastically with its explosives, especially in AoE situations. Enchanting provides strong personal damage increases from its ring enchants and Jewelcrafting provides slightly better gems that are bind on pickup.

Finally, it is worth noting that Idol of the Raven Goddess Icon Idol of the Raven Goddess can be taken for its group benefit and is the recommended choice when in a stacked Physical damage group, but it is a personal damage loss to skip Everbloom Idol Icon Everbloom Idol.

Braided Eternium Chain Icon Braided Eternium Chain is very strong on its own due to Cat damage scaling well from Weapon Damage modifiers, and is especially recommended for physical group buffing. Make sure to get a new one whenever charges are expended so that you can keep using its secondary effect.

Other Useful TBC Phase 5 Gear for Feral DPS Druids

While the list above contains the absolute best gear setup, you are unlikely to quickly gather all of it. We provide more options below, some which are very close to the best and some which are just much easier to get!

Take note that the best helm for DPS is usually Wolfshead Helm Icon Wolfshead Helm due to improving your Powershifting output, but you can use any of the below if you are spending a lot of time tanking in an encounter or just want more survivability on your gear. Tier 6 2p bonus reduces your Mangle Icon Mangle cost and improves the non-Wolfshead powershifting rotation, making it less of a DPS cost to not use it when you know you will be tanking for part of the fight.

TBC Phase 2 / Tier 5 Feral DPS Druid Tier Set

Feral DPS Druid Tier 5, the Nordrassil Harness, is obtained from the following bosses:

Helm — Lady Vashj in Serpentshrine Cavern
Chest — Kael'thas Sunstrider in Tempest Keep
Legs — Fathom-Lord Karathress in Serpentshrine Cavern
Shoulders — Void Reaver in Tempest Keep
Gloves — Leotheras the Blind in Serpentshrine Cavern

Its set bonuses are:

2 pieces — causes your next Regrowth to become an instant cast after you shift out of an animal form. This can be used for emergency healing, but using Regrowth will eat into your Powershifting Mana pool.
4 pieces — causes your Shred ability to deal an additional 75 damage and your Lacerate ability to do an additional 15 damage per application. This bonus gives you a great DPS increase and makes Tier pieces worth using over the best off-set alternatives.

9.

Phase 2 / Tier 5 Best in Slot Table

Leatherworking is still a fine profession, both for instant drums in later phases and for Boots of Natural Grace Icon Boots of Natural Grace in Phase 2, but is outshined by the AoE potential of Engineering explosives, Enchanting ring damage enchants, and Jewelcrafting gems.

Finally, it is worth noting that Idol of the Raven Goddess Icon Idol of the Raven Goddess can be taken for its group benefit and is the recommended choice when in a stacked Physical damage group, but it is a high personal damage loss to skip Everbloom Idol Icon Everbloom Idol which makes it not recommended in the default setup listed below.

Braided Eternium Chain Icon Braided Eternium Chain is very strong on its own due to Cat damage scaling well from Weapon Damage modifiers, and is especially recommended for physical group buffing. Make sure to get a new one whenever charges are expended so that you can keep using its secondary effect.

Other Useful TBC Phase 2 Gear for Feral DPS Druids

While the list above contains the absolute best gear setup, you are unlikely to quickly gather all of it. We provide more options below, some which are very close to the best and some which are just much easier to get!

Take note that the best helm for DPS is always Wolfshead Helm Icon Wolfshead Helm due to improving your Powershifting output, but you can use any of the below if you are spending a lot of time tanking in an encounter or just want more survivability on your gear.

TBC Phase 1 / Tier 4 Feral DPS Druid Tier Set

Feral Druid Tier 4, the Malorne Harness has gloves, chest, head, legs, and shoulders. Its set bonuses are as follows.

2-piece bonus — melee attacks in Dire Bear Form have a 4% chance to generate 10 additional Rage. Cat Form attacks have a 4% chance to generate 20 Energy, instead.
4 pieces — increases your Armor by 1400 in Dire Bear Form and your Strength by 30 in Cat Form.

Both of these bonuses are great and getting two-piece T4 should be your highest priority early on, with the rest of the set being usable if you lack the best gear recommended below.

Our recommendation for Tier 4 is using the T4 shoulders and chest, along with the best off-set pieces available in the rest of the gear slots.
