Feral Druid PvP Talents and Builds — 12.0.5
Choosing the right PvP and PvE talents is a prerequisite to proper performance in PvP. This guide goes through the various talent choices available to you as a Feral Druid and gives you the best combinations you can take.
This page is part of our Feral Druid PvP Guide.
Talent Choices for Feral Druids
Midnight PvP Talent Builds for Feral Druid in Arena
The goal for this build is to deal as much spread pressure as possible
with your bleeds,
Rip/
Rake, and dealing strong
single-target damage with
Ferocious Bite.
This build is very similar to the recommended 3v3 build, but with a
small change to
Primal Wrath.
Veinripper will make your
Rip and
Rake last 25% longer and
Primal Wrath
applies
Rip to all enemies in a 10 yard range, making you deal
strong spread damage to stacked teams.
PvP Talents for Feral Druids
You can choose three 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.
Mandatory PvP Talents
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.
Situational PvP Talents
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.
Ferocious Wound causes 5-Combo Point
Ferocious Bites
to reduce the target's maximum health for 30 sec, stacking up to two
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.
