Classic Feral Druid Melee DPS Gear and Best in Slot

This is the gear we recommend for Feral DPS Druids in the Naxxramas patch. Naxxramas is the final destination of the original World of Warcraft, and as such carries the best gear and the most difficult bosses.

Druids Tier 3, Dreamwalker Raiment is perhaps one of the most iconic Druid sets of all time, but is overall quite poor for Feral Druids. You will not be using any of the T3 pieces in your BiS set, but they are still nice to eventually get just to have, especially if you want to flex Restoration.

This is the gear we recommend for Feral DPS Druids in the AQ40 patch.

Feral DPS have incredibly good scaling, so any new content that brings better gear should be a reason to celebrate. AQ 40 and AQ 20 are no exceptions. In these raids you will find many large upgrades, especially with the addition of the one-handed maces that have Feral AP on them, which can prove to be huge upgrades if you do not have Manual Crowd Pummelers farmed up for all your raids and dungeons. Sadly, you will not get a full new set of gear like casters will, but you will be able to get some solid upgrades anyway.

As a note on gearing, remember that you are going for Hit Cap, Strength, and Agility as your main stats. Critical Hit chance is also good, but most of the pieces you will prioritize generally have higher amounts of Strength and Agility.

This is the gear we recommend you to chase in the Blackwing Lair and Zul'Gurub.

Druid's Tier 2, Stormrage Raiment is the same as the tier 1 set, in that it is a set meant for healers and not for damage dealers. Instead, your BiS setup will consist of items from the previous phases along with some new off pieces and weapons found in Blackwing Lair.

While the main focus is on Blackwing Lair gear, the list below also contains some gear from older raids, epic PvP sets (above rank 11) and world bosses, when warranted, in order to create a good list for players who regularly clear the raids up to Tier 2.

* This helm will be your BiS helm for all of WoW Classic. It is absolutely required for competitive Feral Druid DPS and should be one of the first items that you go for at max level.

** When the chicken attacks, it has a chance to increase the Haste of your party members by 5%.

*** This will be your BiS weapon for all of WoW Classic due to its amazing on-use effect. However, the weapon only has 3 charges of the effect, meaning that you will need to farm multiple copies of this weapon before every raid if you want to do optimal damage. It is also highly recommended to have another weapon, such as Fist of Omokk, to use normally outside of raids.

Below is the complete BiS list for phase 2 of WoW Classic. Remember that some of these pieces are raid drops, and can take a long time to obtain.

One important thing to watch out for is your chance to hit. Remember that you only want to get a 9% increased chance to hit, no more. Once you have that, make sure to avoid pieces with chance to hit on them, so as not to waste stats.

This is the gear we recommend you to chase while doing the first raids in the game: Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair.

Druid's Tier 1, Cenarion Raiment is not a great set for Feral DPS druids since it lacks sufficient melee stats and is more primarily geared towards healing. Instead, most of your BiS in this phase will come from a combination of Molten Core loot and dungeon items.
