Feral Druid dungeon tanking 10–20

A theory Feral start for dungeon tanking from 10 to 20. It cheapens Maul, Swipe and other form abilities, then gives Rage when you shift into Bear, then adds form armor. Heart of the Wild moved to Restoration; this Feral budget does not spend it and does not grant its Bear stamina. This site has not playtested the order.

Who this is for

  • Druids who already tank 10–20 dungeons in Bear Form and will shift for Furor’s 10 Rage.
  • Groups that want a Feral tank on this page.

Who should skip it

  • Anyone who wants Heart of the Wild’s Bear stamina. That talent is Restoration and this budget does not spend it.
  • Cat Form solo that wants Feral Swiftness movement speed. That talent is skipped.

Milestones

  1. Level 10: First point

    Ferocity 1/5. Maul/Swipe/Claw/Rake cost −1 Rage or Energy. Bear Form, Growl, Maul rank 1 and Demoralizing Roar rank 1 are trained at 10.

  2. Level 14: Five Feral points spent

    Ferocity 5/5 is −5 Rage or Energy. Row 2 (Thick Hide) is legal at 15. This order stays on row 1 for Furor starting at 15. Bash rank 1 is trained at 14.

  3. Level 15: Furor starts

    The sixth point is Furor 1/5: 20% chance to gain 10 Rage on a Bear shift. Rank 5 at 19 is 100%.

  4. Level 16: Swipe trained

    Swipe rank 1 (20 Rage) is the first recorded pack attack in Bear. Ferocity already reduced its cost at 14.

  5. Level 19: Ten Feral points spent

    Furor 5/5 is a 100% chance to gain 10 Rage on a Bear shift. Row 3 is also legal; this plan spends the 11th point on Thick Hide (row 2) at 20.

  6. Level 20: Plan complete

    Thick Hide 1/3. Cat Form and Claw rank 1 are trained at 20. Feral Charge requires the alternative talent. Heart of the Wild is still unspent.

How to play it

  • Bear Form is learned at 10 through its recorded book, quest or drop source (55% of base mana; spellbook beta). Growl at 10 for one target. Maul rank 1 at 10 (15 Rage) / rank 2 at 18. Demoralizing Roar rank 1 at 10 / rank 2 at 20. Enrage at 12 for Rage. Swipe rank 1 at 16 (20 Rage) for packs. Bash rank 1 at 14 (10 Rage) to stop a caster. Ferocity rank 5 (complete at 14) reduces Maul, Primal Bite, Swipe, Claw and Rake by 5 Rage or Energy.
  • Cat Form and Claw rank 1 are trained at 20. Feral Charge appears only when the alternative talent is taken; do not plan Cat openers before 20. Healing Touch rank 3 at 14 (188–232, 110 Mana) / rank 4 at 20 out of form if someone is dying. Faerie Fire rank 1 at 18 on the kill target. Dire Bear Form is 40.
  • Furor rank 5 completes at 19: shifting into Bear has a 100% chance to grant 10 Rage. Thick Hide rank 1 at 20 is extra form armor, not a taunt. If you want the gap closer instead of that armor, the maintained alternative spends the 11th point on Feral Charge.

Why this order

Eleven points stay in Feral Combat. Balance and Restoration remain empty, including Heart of the Wild.

Ferocity and Furor are row-1 Feral talents. Thick Hide is row 2 after five earlier Feral points. This plan spends five Ferocity, then five Furor, then Thick Hide.

Furor rank 5 is a 100% chance to gain 10 Rage when shifting into Bear or Dire Bear. That is shift Rage, not a stamina multiplier.

What the spent talents do

Ferocity

Ferocity rank 5 reduces the cost of Maul, Primal Bite, Swipe, Claw, and Rake by 5 Rage or Energy (1 per rank).

Furor

Furor rank 5: 100% chance to gain 10 Rage when shifting into Bear or Dire Bear. Cat Form restores 100% of the Energy you had when last in Cat Form, plus 10 Energy per second spent outside Bear or Dire Bear, up to 100.

Thick Hide

Thick Hide rank 1: while in Bear, Cat, Dire Bear or Moonkin Form, gain 1 additional base Armor per level and another 0.67 base Armor for each point of defense skill beyond five times your level. This plan takes only rank 1.

Weaknesses and tradeoffs

  • Heart of the Wild is a Restoration row-1 talent. Its +20% Bear stamina at rank 5 is not available inside this Feral budget.
  • Feral Swiftness (Cat speed and dodge) is skipped on row 2.
  • Feral Charge is row 3 and is not the 11th point.

Gear notes

  • Compare armor and stamina on leather pieces at similar required levels. This plan does not multiply Bear stamina. Thick Hide adds form armor. Keep other printed stats in the comparison rather than judging by item level alone. The listed weapon DPS is not a calculation of Bear Form damage.

Optional point

Feral Charge at 20

You already have ten Feral points and would rather the charge talent than Thick Hide rank 1.

Feral Charge is a 1-rank row-3 talent. Its Bear or Dire Bear action costs 5 Rage, charges 8–25 yards, and immobilizes and interrupts for 4 seconds on a 15-second cooldown. Its Cat Form action leaps behind an enemy from 8–25 yards on a 30-second cooldown. Ferocity 5 and Furor 5 stay. Thick Hide is dropped. Heart of the Wild stays unspent. Ten earlier Feral points make row 3 legal for the 11th point.
