Feral Druid DPS Spell List and Glossary — Dragonflight 10.2

If you are new to Feral, we recommend reading this page before proceeding to get a grasp of all of the tools available to the specialization. This page explains each specific ability and the tools Feral has access to in Dragonflight, both baseline and on both talent trees. It also provides abbreviations commonly used by the community for each ability, which is the best starting point for getting to grips with the moving parts of Feral.

If you are leveling as Feral, you will likely only have access to some of the abilities listed here once you reach higher levels. However, our dedicated leveling guide explains what to aim for and when you will unlock specific tools:

Feral comes with a dual resource system of Energy and Combo Points. Energy fuels the majority of your abilities, most of which either generate a Combo Point (builders), such as Shred, or spend your Combo Points (finishers), such as Rip. You come with a baseline cap of 100 Energy (which can be altered through some talents and effects) that slowly regenerates each second, scaling with your Haste rating. Combo Points are spent all at once on your finishers, and the intensity of your finishers is based on how many Combo Points were consumed (up to the maximum of 5).

Having access to some quick Macros and Addons that can make gameplay smoother is always helpful, and you can find some on our dedicated page below:

Note that this page lists all the different abilities, assuming you are at max level. If you are leveling, check out our dedicated Druid The leveling page has detailed information on when you unlock all of these abilities.

While listed below, all shapeshifts provide the bonus of granting immunity to Polymorph effects on top of their other bonuses explained below. This includes Cat Form, Bear Form, Travel Form and Moonkin Form.

Ability	Abbreviation	Description/Effect
Cat Form	-	Shapeshift that grants access to a majority of Feral abilities increases your auto-attack damage by 40% and movement speed by 30%.
Wrath	-	Caster form ability that deals minor Nature damage with a 1.5-second cast and a 40-yard range. Not used by Feral in most situations.
Moonfire	MF	Deals low Arcane damage to your target and applies a small Arcane DoT effect lasting 16 seconds. This cannot be used in Cat Form without Lunar Inspiration taken, but can be used at range to pull additional targets or deal damage when forced out of range.
Regrowth	RG	An instant heal on your target that leaves a small HoT lasting for 12 seconds. This has a 1.5-second cast, a 40-yard range, and can be made instant cast via Predatory Swiftness.
Entangling Roots	Roots	Roots your current target in place for up to 30 seconds, but any damage dealt may break the effect. This has no cooldown, a 1.7-second cast, and a 35-yard range. This serves as a point-and-click crowd control tool, and can be made instant via Predatory Swiftness.
Shred	-	Your core single-target Combo Point builder spell, dealing high Physical damage at the cost of 40 Energy. This comes with a lot of supporting talents throughout the tree.
Dash	-	Instantly activates Cat Form, and grants an additional 60% Movement Speed within your Cat shapeshift for 10 seconds on a 2-minute cooldown. A core movement cooldown.
Ferocious Bite	FB / Bite	A direct damage Feral finisher, dealing heavy Physical damage for 25 Energy, and consuming up to 5 Combo Points. It will also consume up to another 25 Energy to deal 100% extra damage. This is used whenever you have surplus Combo Points available to deal a high burst of damage, but is used sparingly to avoid getting in the way of your Rip uptime. It also has a lot of supporting talents on the tree.
Bear Form	-	Shapeshifts you into a Bear, granting 220% increased Armour, 25% additional Stamina and access to some Bear Form-only abilities. This is an instant shift, and can be used as an extra survival tool due to the increased Health and is beneficial due to having no cooldown, so should be used whenever you are worried about dying to a mechanic.
Growl	Taunt	Taunts your current target, causing it to attack you for up to 3 seconds. This has a 30-yard range and an 8-second cooldown and requires Bear Form to cast.
Mark of the Wild	MotW	Mark of the Wild buffs all raid or party members (including yourself), granting 3% Versatility for 1 hour.
Barkskin	Bark	Reduces all damage you take by 20% for 12 seconds and prevents damage taken delaying spell casts. This can also be used when stunned or incapacitated while in any shapeshift form and has a 1-minute cooldown. Flexible, low cooldown survival tool.
Travel Form	-	Shapeshifts you into either a fast-moving land or aquatic beast, conferring significantly increased movement speed in each scenario but pacifying you. This can only be used outdoors but has uses for open-world content.
Prowl	Stealth	Prowl has a 6-second cooldown, causing you to enter Stealth, reducing the distance enemies and players can see you. This also activates some specific bonuses from Shred and Rake with the Pouncing Strikes talent active. The cooldown only begins recharging after leaving Stealth, and can only be used when out of combat.
Rebirth	CR	An in-combat resurrection tool with a 10-minute cooldown, a 2-second cast time, and requires you to be outside of any shapeshift forms. In Raid encounters and keystones, this will accumulate charges based on group size that allow you to cast it multiple times in a row if banked up, but cannot be cast by you or any allies if your group has no charges available.

Many talented abilities and effects are available as a part of Dragonflight changes to talent trees. If you want advice on which ones to select for your Feral Druid, visit the talent and build section of the guide.

Ability	Abbreviation	Description/Effect
Rake	-	Your primary rotational Bleed instantly deals moderate Bleed damage then serious Bleed damage over 15 seconds, generating one Combo Point and costing 35 Energy.
