Feral Druid PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — Midnight Pre-Patch (12.0.1)

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. The stats you want to be increasing are Versatility and Mastery.

Embellishments are bonuses that can be put on crafted gear. These effects can have a drastic impact on the game. You are only allowed to have 2 Embellishments equipped at the same time. Here are the recommended Embellishments for Feral Druids:

• Elemental Focusing Lens causes your damaging spells and abilities to have a higher chance to deal damage to your target. The magic school chosen is based upon your selection of socketed Khaz'Algar gems.
• Ascendance/ Writhing Armor Banding. While in combat, Ascendance grants 89 of a random secondary stat, stacking up to 10 times. Writhing Armor Banding doubles this affect. This combination of Embellishments is the best for Feral Druid. Ascendance can only be crafted on a weapon.
• Duskthread Lining. This Embellishment significantly increases your Versatility when you are above 80% health. This can be used if you do not want to double the affect of Ascendance with Writhing Armor Banding.
