Feral Druid Dragonflight Leveling Guide From 1 to 70 (Dragonflight 10.2)

When leveling up, always choose the piece of loot with the highest item level. You will often be replacing these gear pieces very quickly, so equip whatever comes to you without worrying about secondary stats.

Your first talent point unlocks at Level 10.

You should aim for a talent tree that looks like this:

The exact order you pick the points is not crucial, but the general advice is to prioritize the Feral abilities on the leftmost side of the class tree. In the spec tree, prioritize Primal Wrath, Omen of Clarity, Berserk, Pouncing Strikes, Predator, and Tear Open Wounds.

Due to Feral only being unlocked as a talent specialization at Level 10, you should use the abilities provided to you in the intro quests until you are presented with the option.

1. Enter Prowl before opening on your target whenever possible.
2. Open with Rake from stealth.
3. Cast Berserk on dangerous elites or large groups of enemies.
4. Cast Convoke the Spirits on dangerous elites or large groups of enemies.
5. Cast Ferocious Bite with Apex Predator's Craving procs.
6. Cast Feral Frenzy on cooldown.
7. Cast Tiger's Fury on cooldown.
8. Cast Primal Wrath at 5 Combo Points with multiple targets in range to apply Rip to all of them.
9. Apply Rip to any high health targets at 5 Combo Points if it is not already present.
10. Cast Ferocious Bite at 5 Combo Points.
11. Apply Thrash against multiple targets.
12. Maintain Rake.
13. Cast Brutal Slash to generate Combo Points.
14. Cast Swipe to generate Combo Points against multiple targets.
15. Cast Shred to generate Combo Points against one target.
16. Make sure to always be in Cat Form.

In this section, we will rank the PvP talents best for leveling and doing solo / small group PvE content. Below is a ranking of Feral Druid-specific PvE talents.

1. Fresh Wound can provide additional burst to targets when applying your Rake effect, and is a solid increase across the board when cycling between targets.
2. Leader of the Pack grants 10% additional movement speed and causes players to heal for 3% of their maximum health when they critically strike with a 6-second cooldown. Provides free sustain and mobility, making it a good first option.
3. Ferocious Wound provides additional damage to your Ferocious Bite that can be useful on high health targets due the maximum health reduction it applies. Value is mostly tied to the difficulty of the enemies you are encountering.
4. Savage Momentum causes successful interrupts with Skull Bash to reduce the cooldown of Tiger's Fury, Stampeding Roar and Survival Instincts by 10 seconds. This can be useful for moving around the world and extra burst windows on targets, but you will generally be using Predator in the open-world so that overlap makes it less flexible.
5. Thorns can provide some use in situations with extra enemies present, to allow you to deal additional damage back when being hit.

Other options are much more focused on enemy control, which is more oriented around PvP gameplay, rather than killing enemies more efficiently, so they are not recommended.

Congratulations on reaching Level 70! Now that you have hit Level 70, we recommend looking at our Easy mode page and Talents section to learn how to play at max level.
