This build utilizes Primal Wrath that applies Rip to all enemies within 10 yards.

While the above table provides a generally accurate overview of the viability of talents, some finer points are discussed in the sections that follow, and we recommend you read those for a deeper understanding.

Some important spells to note in the Druid talent tree:

• Although you do not choose any of the final talents in the Druid talent tree, Well-Honed Instincts, is a crucial defensive for Feral Druids. This will use Frenzied Regeneration when you drop below 40% once every 90 seconds. This is great versus teams that have stuns for you or if you are the primary target.
• Heart of the Wild is one of the more interesting spells Druids can have. This makes it so abilities that are not associated with your specialization get empowered. For example, Feral Druids will have enhanced Restoration Druid spells, increasing healing by 30%, and mana costs reduced by 50%.
• Fluid Form allows Shred and Rake to be used in any form and will shift you in to Cat Form.

Some important spells to note in the Feral Druid Talent tree:

• Sabertooth. Because most of your damage is single target, increasing the damage of Ferocious Bite is crucial for landing kills when the enemy healer is in crowd control.
• Adaptive Swarm is a strong ability with a short cooldown. While it is active, the target takes more damage from your Bleeds, and after it expires, it will spread to nearby enemies.
• Feral Frenzy. This talent deals a large amount of damage and awards 5 Combo Points. This means you can follow Feral Frenzy up with a large Ferocious Bite for strong instant damage.

You can choose 3 of the following PvP talents. Each of them has its uses, but some are better for certain strategies than others. The top three choices are the most useful but can be replaced with other PvP talents depending on your team's goal.

If you are playing with a specialization that does not have a Mortal Wounds debuff, you should be using Wicked Claws. This makes your Infected Wounds stack and reduce healing done to that target.

Tireless Pursuit makes it so you retain up to 40% of your movement speed when you leave Cat Form or Travel Form. This is important for maintaining up time on your target and making it very difficult for enemies to get away from you.

Ferocious Wound causes 5-Combo Point Ferocious Bites to reduce the target's maximum health for 30 sec, stacking up to 2 times. This makes Ferocious Bite an incredibly important ability and creates a large amount of pressure on an enemy player.

Strength of the Wild gives you more team utility and an additional way to stay alive when you are the focus of the enemy team. This should be taken in almost all situations, especially against teams that do not have many interrupts to stop you from casting Regrowths.

Thorns after casting Barkskin, sprout thorns on the target, dealing damage to the attacker. This is a crucial talent against teams with double melee on it.

High Winds increases the ranges of Cyclone, Typhoon, and Entangling Roots by 5 yards. This is a great option for when you are playing against casters that are playing far away.
