Wrathion, the Black Emperor
We advise you to use the following talents against Wrathion, the Black Emperor.
- Level 15:
Sabertooth
- Level 25:
Tiger Dash or
Wild Charge
- Level 30:
Balance Affinity (situational options:
Guardian Affinity or
Restoration Affinity)
- Level 35:

Ancient Flame
- Breath of the Dying — Rank 3:
Lethal Strikes
- Memory of Lucid Dreams — Rank 3:
Lucid Dreams
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3:
Tips
Wrathion is a fight divided into a very static Phase 1, a very high movement intermission and an AoE heavy Phase 2 that cycles in this order. Feral has a lot of tools to deal with the movement portions, but can suffer from downtime with Bleed effects falling off. Make sure to plan around this downtime by refreshing as late as possible.
For more information, please refer to our Wrathion, the Black Emperor guide.
Maut
We advise you to use the following talents against Maut.
- Level 15:
Sabertooth
- Level 25:
Renewal (situational options:
Tiger Dash or
Wild Charge)
- Level 30:
Guardian Affinity or
Restoration Affinity (or
Balance Affinity, situationally)
- Level 35: No specific recommendation
- Level 40:
Soul of the Forest
- Level 45:
Brutal Slash
- Level 50:
Bloodtalons
We advise you to use the following essences against Maut.
- Major Slot
- Blood of the Enemy — Rank 3:
Blood of the Enemy +
Blood-Soaked
- Blood of the Enemy — Rank 3:
- Minor Slots
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3:
Ancient Flame
- Breath of the Dying — Rank 3:
Lethal Strikes
- Memory of Lucid Dreams — Rank 3:
Lucid Dreams
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3:
Tips
Maut is largely a single-target encounter for Melee players, so your
build will be focused on dealing as much of that as possible. Survival is also
important here due to the self-inflicted damage in Phase 2, so be
careful especially when using Ferocious Bite to not put you
in a dangerous position. Feral's self healing and options with both
Guardian Affinity and
Restoration Affinity for survival
are also useful here to keep yourself comfortable.
For more information, please refer to our Maut guide.
The Prophet Skitra
We advise you to use the following talents against The Prophet Skitra.
- Level 15:
Sabertooth
- Level 25:
Tiger Dash or
Wild Charge
- Level 30:
Balance Affinity (or
Guardian Affinity, situationally)
- Level 35:
Mass Entanglement or
Heart of the Wild
- Level 40:
Soul of the Forest
- Level 45:

- Level 50:

- Minor Slots
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3:
Ancient Flame
- Breath of the Dying — Rank 3:
Lethal Strikes
- Memory of Lucid Dreams — Rank 3:
Lucid Dreams
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3:
Tips
Skitra has a massive arena that can force you to move large distances in intermissions, but is otherwise a simple static encounter. Feral has enough tools in its talent tree to be able to quickly adapt to spawn times and get bleeds active. Making sure you are aware of the transition every 33% and pool resources accordingly is important to make sure you get a good start on targets in intermissions.
For more information, please refer to our The Prophet Skitra guide.
Dark Inquisitor Xanesh
We advise you to use the following talents against Dark Inquisitor Xanesh.
- Level 15:
Sabertooth
- Level 25:
Tiger Dash or
Wild Charge
- Level 30:
Balance Affinity or
Guardian Affinity (or
Restoration Affinity, situationally)
- Level 35:

Ancient Flame
- Breath of the Dying — Rank 3:
Lethal Strikes
- Memory of Lucid Dreams — Rank 3:
Lucid Dreams
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3:
Tips
Xanesh has some very high movement requirements at
specific points throughout the encounter. Feral's increased
movement speed in Cat Form plus
Dash /
Tiger Dash
or
Wild Charge should give you enough catch up to stick
to the boss. Due to the base move speed you are also a solid
option to deal with the
Void Ritual mechanic.
For more information, please refer to our Dark Inquisitor Xanesh guide.
The Hivemind
We advise you to use the following talents against The Hivemind.
- Level 15:
Predator
- Level 25:
Tiger Dash or
Wild Charge
- Level 30:
Balance Affinity or
Guardian Affinity
- Level 35:

Lethal Strikes
- Memory of Lucid Dreams — Rank 3:
Lucid Dreams
- Conflict and Strife — Rank 3:
Strife
- Breath of the Dying — Rank 3:
Tips
Hivemind is a boss that has fixed add spawns that need
to be burst down. These are frequently staggered that leans
perfectly into Predator resets, allowing you to apply
Bleeds across all target spawns without much issue due to
the extra range provided by
Balance Affinity.
For more information, please refer to our The Hivemind guide.
Shad'har the Insatiable
We advise you to use the following talents against Shad'har the Insatiable.
- Level 15:
Sabertooth
- Level 25:

- Breath of the Dying — Rank 3:
Lethal Strikes
- Memory of Lucid Dreams — Rank 3:
Lucid Dreams
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3:
Tips
Shad'har is entirely a single-target burn fight that has a predictable kill timer. Surviving through most of the damage as long as you avoid telegraphed attacks should be fine due to your movement tools, so focus on dealing the most effective damage to the boss while staying healthy.
For more information, please refer to our Shad'har the Insatiable guide.
Drest'agath
We advise you to use the following talents against Drest'agath.
- Level 15:

Ancient Flame
- Memory of Lucid Dreams — Rank 3:
Lucid Dreams
- Conflict and Strife — Rank 3:
Strife
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3:
Tips
Drest'agath comes with a lot of downtime and very
high movement checks due to the frequent target swaps. It
also requires you to condense your damage into short bursts
to line up with the Void Infused Ichor effect, meaning
you should make sure to have some cooldowns ready after
you intend to pick this up when tentacles die.
For more information, please refer to our Drest'agath guide.
Vexiona
We advise you to use the following talents against Vexiona.
- Level 15:
Predator
- Level 25:

Lethal Strikes
- Memory of Lucid Dreams — Rank 3:
Lucid Dreams
- Conflict and Strife — Rank 3:
Strife
- Breath of the Dying — Rank 3:
Tips
Vexiona requires you to temper your damage profiles
between boss damage, priority targets and AoE. Feral can opt into
good options that gain from the frequent target deaths, and deal
strong AoE damage via Primal Wrath. Your movement also
works very well for the intermission phases and dealing with
Encroaching Shadows.
For more information, please refer to our Vexiona guide.
Ra-den the Despoiled
We advise you to use the following talents against Ra-den the Despoiled.
- Level 15:

Lucid Dreams
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3:
Tips
Ra-den has a large amount of focus on high burst phases, especially in Phase 2. Feral provides a solid toolkit for splitting damage between the boss and adds, while being mobile enough to contribute to extra targets as they spawn.
For more information, please refer to our Ra-den the Despoiled guide.
Il'gynoth, Corruption Reborn
We advise you to use the following talents against Il'gynoth, Corruption Reborn.
- Level 15:

Lucid Dreams
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3:
Tips
Il'gynoth is the most complex end wing boss when it comes
to how you approach your damage profile. There is a lot you can
do to tweak your delivery, and sometimes it comes down to the
pace your group is dealing with each phase as to what works best.
Making sure to plan your uses of Tiger's Fury and
Berserk between each intermission, and making sure
you have movement tools available to transition quickly is
vital. Time spent without Bleeds active will be punishing.
For more information, please refer to our Il'gynoth, Corruption Reborn guide.
Carapace of N'Zoth
We advise you to use the following talents against Carapace of N'Zoth.
- Level 15:
Predator
- Level 25:

- Purification Protocol — Rank 3:
Purification Protocol
- Breath of the Dying — Rank 3:
Tips
Carapace of N'zoth has a lot of room to focus on either add
damage or boss damage depending on the phase you are struggling with.
Due to how frequently enemies will be dying, Predator
plays perfectly. Due to the overwhelmingly high importance
of dealing with low health targets, making sure you focus on
being more versatile throughout the encounter makes or breaks
Feral here. For this reason,
Primal Wrath is a strong
front runner, alongside pooling to unload on add spawns.
For more information, please refer to our Carapace of N'Zoth guide.
N'Zoth the Corruptor
We advise you to use the following talents against N'Zoth the Corruptor.

- Conflict and Strife — Rank 3:
Strife
- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3:
Tips
Feral's cooldowns naturally line up quite well between each
Mindgate phase, and are flexible enough to let you contribute
well to Tentacle spawns. Balance Affinity
is extremely useful here, as is the high Feral movement allowing
you to adjust around the large arena, especially during
Paranoia, and positioning
Evoke Anguish.
For more information, please refer to our N'Zoth the Corruptor guide.
