Feral Druid PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — The War Within (11.2)

The stat priority for Feral Druid in PvP is as follows:

1. Agility;
2. Versatility;
3. Mastery;
4. Haste;
5. Critical Strike.

Agility is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the strongest secondary stat at all times because Feral Druids have a lot of healing abilities. This also increases your overall survivability. Mastery is the next strongest stat at all times because it increases the damage to all your bleeds and finishing moves from Mastery: Razor Claws.

In general, Feral Druids want to get trinkets that line up well with Incarnation: King of the Jungle. Because this ability has a 3-minute cooldown, your trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect.

As noted above, acquiring both your 2-set and 4-set bonus is crucial. It is important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed to 33% effectiveness in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances of winning. In Patch 11.2, there are different tier sets for each different hero talent for each specialization. Below are the different tier sets for Feral Druid.

• 2-set: Ravage increases your haste by 10%, chance to critically strike by 10%, and the damage your bleeds deal by 30% for 5 sec.
• 4-set: Ravage has a 40% chance to make you Ravage your target again 4 sec later at 100% effectiveness.

Although this tier set does a great job increasing consistent damage, Druid of the Claw is not the recommended Hero Talents to play.

• 2-set: The rate at which Bloodseeker Vines grow is increased by 40%. Tiger's Fury causes Bloodseeker Vines to grow on up to 3 valid nearby enemies.
• 4-set: Bloodseeker Vines have a 20% chance to trigger Bursting Growth every 2 sec at 100% effectiveness. Each stack of Bloodseeker Vines on an enemy increases Bursting Growth damage taken by 40%.

This tier set drastically increases both your consistent and burst damage. This is the recommended hero talent tier set to play in every situation.
