Feral Druid PvP Talents and Builds — The War Within (Season 1)

Feral druids have some of the strongest single-target damage in the game. Because most of your damage will come from Ferocious Bite, this is the best build to use:

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.
• Protector of the Pack stores part of your damage and causes your next Regrowth to consume all the damage stored to increase its healing. This is an important talent for staying alive.

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.

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 sprouts thorns for 12 seconds on the friendly target. When victim to melee attacks, thorns deal up to 5% of the attacker's total health in Nature damage. Attackers also have their movement speed reduced by 50% for 4 sec. This is a crucial talent against teams with double melee on it. Because you will not have much to interrupt, you can replace Strength of the Wild with this talent.

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.
