Feral Druid DPS Stat Priority — The War Within (11.2)

Welcome to our Stat Priority page for Feral Druid in The War Within. Here we'll quickly be going over the stats you should aim for on gear, alongside any special considerations depending on your build.

While both Wildstalker and Druid of the Claw share stat priorities, depending on target count ideal stats can sometimes change for Feral. For general open-world and dungeon gameplay, we recommend the Multi-Target recommendation.

Every secondary stat has a limit where they will begin to offer less increase per point gained, which are known as the points of diminishing return. Once you have reached these amounts, stats will become progressively less valuable and may fall behind other options. The current breakpoints are:

• Critical Strike - 21000 Rating
• Haste - 19800 Rating
• Versatility - 23400 Rating
• Mastery - 21000 Rating

With the higher item level in Season 3, you will very quickly hit the first breakpoint on at least two stats. Be aware that these breakpoints often result in unusal sim results, and you should follow the recommendations.

If you are ever in doubt about what items to wear for any given situation, the only way to truly figure it out for your character is to use Raidbots. This website allows you to easily compare gear you already have, as well as gear you do not have.

Due to every character being unique with variables based on your current gear, racial bonuses and effects you have active, it is much easier to trust its bespoke output rather than a general priority if you are looking to min-max your damage potential.

The gems, enchants, and consumables you will use are often dictated by the ideal stat that you are using. You can check our recommendations on our dedicated consumables page.

As a Feral Druid, Agility is your primary stat, which should be present on all Leather gear you wear, alongside your weapon. Individual stats provide the following benefits:

• Agility - provides you with Attack Power, increasing the damage of your Feral abilities and melee attacks.
• Critical Strike - increases the chance for your attacks critically strike, dealing double damage. Additionally:
  • Grants an additional Combo Point when you Critically Strike with a Combo Point generating ability.
• Mastery - improves Mastery: Razor Claws, increasing all damage dealt by your Bleed effects. Additionally:
  • Increases the damage dealt by all direct damage finishing moves.
  • Increases the damage dealt by Rampant Ferocity.
• Haste - increases your auto attack speed and Energy regeneration. Additionally:
  • Increases the tick rate of your Bleed DoT effects.
  • Reduces the recharge rate of your Brutal Slash ability.
  • Increases damage dealt by Combo Point generators by 40% of your current amount via Predator.
• Versatility - increases all damage and healing you do (including trinkets and proc effects) by a flat amount. Additionally, reduces all damage you take by half of that amount.
