BiS Gear Guide for Feral Druid
Feral aims for the highest item level pieces available for the bonus Agility, after that, Critical Strike and Mastery are the secondaries of choice. The only items that tend not to follow the item level rule is Jewelry, as these have no Agility. Thus, power is weighted more toward ideal secondary stats. Visit our Stats page for more details.

Enchants and Sockets
If you have a new piece of gear containing prismatic sockets or are eligible to be enchanted, you can find everything you need to pick the best one for the job on our dedicated enchants page below.
"Simming" Yourself as a Feral Druid
Throughout this page and elsewhere in our guide, we regularly refer to the importance of simming yourself on Raidbots. This is because every character is unique, and each individual gear piece you have access to can change the overall balance and alter what is best right now for you.
While we do offer generic sim charts for Trinkets and offer recommendations, these are not complete replacements for simming yourself. The only way to truly optimize your character to that degree is by making use of the tools available!
If you are new to simming and Raidbots, check out our detailed guide below.
Tier Set Bonus for Feral Druid in Season 2
Dragonflight Set Bonuses
Amirdrassil Tier Set bonus for Feral Druid
Tier sets are unique bonuses tied to each Season of Dragonflight, comprised of 5 gear pieces. Bonuses are unlocked at 2 and 4 pieces equipped, and the Benevolent Embersage's Guidance confers the following bonuses:
-
Druid Feral 10.2 Class Set 2pc - Casting
Feral Frenzy grants
Smoldering Frenzy for 8 seconds, increasing all damage you deal by 20%.
-
Druid Feral 10.2 Class Set 4pc - Reduces the cooldown of
Feral Frenzy by 15 seconds, and during
Smoldering Frenzy, enemies burn for 10% of all damage you deal to them as Fire over 10 seconds.
Either of these bonuses makes Feral Frenzy a mandatory
talent point to activate it. This puts your damage on a 30-second cooldown
cycle aligned with each Feral Frenzy cast, in which you want to have all of
your Bleed management set up before entering into the window. While active,
you want to focus on filling it with high-value casts such as
Ferocious Bite,
so pooling is needed due to the short duration. It also opens up the option to
play both
Convoke the Spirits and, in some cases, reduce its cooldown via
Ashamane's Guidance depending on encounter to get extra triggers.
When to Switch Set Bonuses
Ideally, you should aim to have the Season 3 4-piece set complete before
committing to the swap. A lot of the value comes from the additional cooldown
reduction gained from the 4-piece to support the extra Feral Frenzy
which amplifies the 2-piece, so stick to the Aberrus set until then. With enough
of an item level gap though, you can consider swapping early - use simulations
to judge this.
Aberrus Tier Set bonus for Feral Druid
Tier sets are unique bonuses tied to each Season of Dragonflight, comprised of 5 gear pieces. Bonuses are unlocked at 2 and 4 pieces equipped, and the Strands of the Autumn Blaze confers the following bonuses:
-
Druid Feral 10.1 Class Set 2pc - Auto attacks have a 25% chance to grant a stack of Shadows of the Predator, increasing Agility by 1% for 25 seconds. Each application above 5 has an increasing chance to reset back down to 2.
-
Druid Feral 10.1 Class Set 4pc - When this reset occurs, gain Predator Revealed, increasing your Agility by an additional 8% and generating 1 Combo Point every 2 seconds for 8 seconds.
Both of these bonuses are very basic flat performance increases, providing background multipliers to Agility that you cannot really play around. The 4-piece proc does, however, mean you need to be aware of the slow trickle of additional Combo Points to avoid wasting them, allowing you to pause briefly at 4 Combo Points to reach 5 and then spend. Other than that, the bonus mostly just happens as you play.
When to Switch Set Bonuses
Ideally, you should aim to have the set complete before fully committing to the swap, as a lot of the power is in both the old and new 4-piece. Item level may slightly interfere with this as both bonuses are quite close, but generally, they both gain the most from investing fully in completing them and a double 2-piece combination is not recommended.
Vault of the Incarnates Tier Set Bonus for Feral Druid
The Lost Landcaller's Vesture bonuses from the Season 1 are still usable, and were as follows:
-
Feral Druid 2pc increases
Ferocious Bite and
Rip damage by 6%.
-
Feral Druid 4pc causes each Combo Point spent to increase the damage of
Rip,
Rake and
Thrash by 2%, and also increase the chance for
Shred,
Rake,
Brutal Slash,
Swipe and
Thrash to critically strike by 2% for 4 seconds.
These bonuses are solid and worth picking up as soon as possible. The 2-piece is simply a flat boost to finisher damage, which is hard to fault, and while the 4-piece looks more active, the core gameplay that Feral already engages in triggers this consistently, so it does not require any adjustment to your playstyle.
Best Crafted items for Feral Druid
With Dragonflight Professions, you can craft items with customizable stats in nearly all slots with up to Item Level 486. This means that for many non-tier slots, Crafted items are a competitive alternative when gearing quickly or to fill up gaps in your gearset.

Best Feral Druid Crafting Order
Best Crafting Order for Feral Druid
This is our general recommendation for the best Crafting Order. Due to Feral
weapons costing two Sparks of Shadowflame and the high value of Embellishments,
we opt into getting those crafted first. All crafts, unless otherwise stated, use a
Draconic Missive of the Peerless wherever possible.
Toxic Thorn Footwraps
Life-Bound Bindings using
Toxified Armor Patch
Signet of Titanic Insight (with
Alchemical Flavor Pocket)
If you are still struggling to acquire a weapon at this point, you can invest
two sparks into an Obsidian Seared Halberd.
Due to the changes to Undulating Sporecloak, Feral at the launch of
Patch 10.2 largely just defaults to the previously strong options.
Toxic Thorn Footwraps
has some issues with some items and effects wasting procs on the heal portion,
and so
Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch is an alternative for those that
do not want to deal with that. Lastly, with roughly 7 gem slots,
Elemental Lariat
competes with all options.
Feral Druid Crafting Details
Embellishments either come set on items as standard or can be added with an optional reagent when crafting the piece. These provide additional bonuses (and in some cases quite large ones) but are limited to two. Due to there being so many options, here we explain in detail the ones available that are worth considering:
Toxic Thorn Footwraps - these still do solid single-target damage despite the Patch 10.2 nerfs and is the recommended supporting embellishment. The downside is also extremely minor, so you should not worry about it.
Toxified Armor Patch - can be applied to any Leather armor piece to double up on the value from Toxic Thorns, making it an alternative, even though it does increase the Stamina loss downside of using them.
Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch - less committal than the above combo, and has less downsides, so can be considered if you are worried about the stamina loss.
Elemental Lariat* - This is a great pick that works in more situations than the boots, but because it requires full sockets on gear, it is more a craft for later in the season.
Undulating Sporecloak - Patch 10.2 has added Versatility while above 70% that can be easily maintained. Unfortunately, just prior to the release of the patch, both the offensive and defensive effects were heavily nerfed, making it hard to justify.
Slimy Expulsion Boots* - these are weaker than the above alternative as the downside of losing Haste is more pronounced and as such you should avoid crafting these.
Alchemical Flavor Pocket* - this does not require an Embellishment slot, and as such, it is worth using to avoid losing your Well Fed buff should you die.
Trinkets for Feral Druid in Season 3
There are a number of strong options available for Feral in Season 3 coming from a variety of different sources. Key ones to look for in order of strength are:
Trinket | Note |
---|---|
![]() |
Deals extremely high single-target damage but takes up to 3 minutes to fully ramp up. While the backlash damage is quite high, surviving through it is fine and definitely worth it. In Mythic+, on the other hand, the unreliability of maintaining it between pulls makes it more niche. |
![]() |
Grants a huge amount of Mastery when used, requiring a small mini-game of
collecting orbs. These orbs stack, and it refreshes the buff with each orb collected,
meaning you can either collect them all quickly or play to extend them. Feral
generally tries to extend the second and third orb pickup for a total of 20 seconds
or more, unless playing ![]() |
![]() |
Deals solid damage and has a failsafe for AoE if your target dies. Competes with other strong direct damage trinkets, but has some issues with AI and range on the procs that can limit its power. |
![]() |
Great all-rounder trinket that provides both passive stats and short extra bursts with a solid proc rate. |
![]() |
Very consistent Mastery proc with some free Avoidance added in. While it does not provide as high of a proc as alternatives, the 40%+ uptime of the effect and added defense makes it a worthwhile pickup while you hunt for the ideal options. |
![]() |
While nothing flashy, it does provide a solid amount of cycling Haste with additional damage at the end of each ramp. A good backup pick if you cannot get access to the stronger options. |

These are generic simulations from Bloodmallet, giving you a rough overview of strong Feral Druid Trinkets. It is not a replacement for simming yourself, but can still offer a quick reference point.
