Season of Discovery Feral Druid Tank Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities

We will present the skill rotation for Feral Tank as a priority list. This is not an exact sequence in which abilities should be cast. Instead, what it means is, whenever you must choose between using different skills, try to use the one at the top of the list first.

Our list assumes you are running the recommended build from the talents page and are playing a (currently maximum) level 50 character. If you are still leveling, please refer to the leveling-specific rotation located in the table of contents.

1. Use or refresh Demoralizing Roar to reduce damage intake if no equivalent debuff is available and incoming damage will be high;
2. Use Glowing Gneuro-Linked Cowl and Catnip (or Automatic Crowd Pummeler's) effects for burst threat at the start or when boss is fully armor debuffed for maximum DPS;
3. Use Mangle on cooldown;
4. Spam Lacerate;
5. Use Maul as extra off-GCD damage if you still have excess Rage while performing the rest of the rotation.

For multiple-target tanking, the best adjustment you can do to the single target rotation is using Berserk on cooldown, as its effect allows you to hit 3 targets with each Mangle and also removes its cooldown.

Swipe is the main ability you should use when facing multiple targets while outside Berserk.

Also, remember you can Growl any enemies that start to break away from the group to bring them back.

Use Enrage to keep yourself in combat and generate Rage before or in between pulls.

Survival Instincts can be used as an emergency heal for yourself.

Improved Barkskin makes Barkskin be able to be used while in Dire Bear Form, making it a strong defensive on a short 1-minute cooldown.

Improved Frenzied Regeneration makes Frenzied Regeneration become a much stronger emergency heal you can use when running low on health.
