Talents to Level Up as Feral Druid
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.

Feral Druid War Mode Talents for Leveling
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.
Feral Druid PvP Talents for Leveling
Leader of the Pack increases the Critical Strike chance of you and nearby allies by 5%, and causes players to heal for 5% of their maximum health when they critically strike with a 6-second cooldown. This is the best option available on the PvP tree for open-world purposes.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
