About the Author
My name is NerdEgghead, and I am an avid Classic WoW fan and theorycrafter with roots back in retail TBC. I mained a Warlock during TBC and Wrath, and frequented the Elitist Jerks theorycrafting forums back then as a lurker. One of my favorite aspects of the game was the offline effort to model and understand each spec in order to optimize performance. I currently main a Feral Druid in Classic, and have taken a more active role in theorycrafting the spec. I create sim tools and stat weight calculators for tanking and cat DPS, and am a moderator on the
Druid Class Discord
where we collaborate on these tools and help out players of all skill levels (ranging from casual players to competitive speedrunners) with gearing and playstyle decisions. Feral Druids are in an exciting spot in Classic for tanking especially, as the predominant meta around gearing has been reshaped by the Classic community compared to vanilla and private server expectations. I am excited to continue furthering our understanding of Feral Druids in TBC Classic and WoW Classic, and we already have sim tools we're working on to that end. Come join the Druid Discord if you'd like to participate!
Viability of Feral Druid DPS in WoW Classic PvE Content
Feral
德鲁伊
s are a perfectly viable DPS spec across all vanilla content phases, but do not make the cut as a "meta spec" at the highest levels of competitive play. When powershifting effectively with
狼头之盔
and utilizing full consumables (especially
手动惩戒器
), a Feral DPS player can expect to fall within the middle of the pack of vanilla DPS specs on single target encounters in WoW Classic. In the absence of world buffs, Ferals rank pretty much neck and neck with
术士
s,
猎人
s, and Elemental
萨满祭司
s for DPS on raid bosses, and
substantially
outperform the remaining hybrid specs: Shadow
牧师
s, Enhancement
萨满祭司
s, Balance
德鲁伊
s, and Retribution
圣骑士
s. On the flip side, the DPS output of a Feral will be capped at around 70% of that of an equivalently geared and skilled
潜行者
or Fire
法师
, and the gap relative to a Fury
战士
will be even larger.
When compared to the first iteration of WoW Classic, Feral DPS is substantially worse off in comparison to other classes due to the removal of world buffs, which disproportionately benefited melee DPS over others. In Phase 3 of original Classic, for example, Ferals were the
third best DPS spec in the game
after Fury Warriors and Rogues by a handy margin, as they scaled far better with world buffs than Mages, Warlocks, and Hunters on the "target dummy" style boss fights in
黑翼之巢
. Without world buffs, Feral DPS in WoW Classic is expected to be middle-of-the-pack even in BWL this time around, and you can no longer expect to dominate your ranged DPS friends on the meters in early raids.
Based on the above rankings, it will never be worth bringing a pure DPS Feral (or "mono-cat") to a vanilla raid comp on the basis of their raw throughput alone,
if
you have access to a Warrior or Rogue who can fill that slot instead. However, it is important to emphasize that the
real
value of a Feral Druid in a vanilla raid team is their ability to flex between DPS and tanking as needed using the exact same talent build and gear. Given that bears are quite excellent tanks who can hold their own against Fury-Prot
战士
s in Threat generation while taking substantially less damage in the process, the fact that Feral DPS when not tanking is still quite respectable, despite not being top tier, makes the spec a great choice for filling any available off-tank slot in a raid team. Feral off-tanks will especially shine in "semi-hardcore" raid environments where both the high TPS and high EHP of the Feral will be of value when tanking, and where the DPS loss incurred from using a cat rather than another Warrior will not be consequential when the Feral is DPSing, compared to a hardcore speedrunning environment where any raid slot
not
filled by a Warrior constitutes a loss in clear time.
Note that the above assessment applies
only
for Ferals who embrace their hybrid raid role and wear
狼头之盔
in their tank set so that they can DPS effectively when their tank target is dead: a Feral who does not powershift in
猎豹形态
when not actively tanking a mob is a complete waste of a raid slot!

Strengths of Feral Druid DPS in WoW Classic
Dynamic and skill based DPS rotation
The Classic cat DPS rotation is arguably the most complex of all vanilla specs, and is extremely engaging to execute when compared to the "one button" rotations of Warlocks, Mages, and Rogues. The combination of the
激怒
talent with the quirky level 40 item
狼头之盔
unlocks a uniquely Classic playstyle called "powershifting", which allows a cat Druid to convert their Mana pool into an instant Energy proc on demand simply by shifting out and back into
猎豹形态
. This results in a dynamic DPS rotation that plays somewhat like a rhythm game, with the player alternating between dumping their Energy on special abilities, and then regenerating that Energy by powershifting at the optimal time. While powershifting can sound daunting to new players, it is actually a pretty straightforward rotation to learn, but still offers a lot of room for personal growth over time: playing Feral cat
well
is an achievable goal for every single player with just a bit of practice, but playing it
perfectly
requires on-the-fly thinking and fast reaction times in order to optimally react to
节能施法
procs,
血之狂暴
procs, and partial Energy refunds from missed or dodged
撕碎
casts. Likewise, while the basics of powershifting have been well understood for years on vanilla private servers, there are still new nuances being worked out every month due to updated sim tools and a growing community of theorycrafters who are working on the spec. For example, it was just recently discovered that unlike the first iteration of WoW Classic, the optimal Feral rotation in WoW Classic will actually use a combination of both
撕扯
and
凶猛撕咬
as finishing moves for dumping Combo Points. Due to the much lower crit levels in SoM from the lack of world buffs, keeping up
撕扯
squeezes out slightly more damage than using just
凶猛撕咬
, which was previously thought to be the only viable finisher in vanilla until new sim tools came along.
If the idea of mastering a nuanced DPS rotation for a spec that is still being actively optimized sounds like your cup of tea, then you will find playing a Feral Druid to be highly rewarding and well worth the onerous consumable requirements for performing competitively (at least one
手动惩戒器
and
恶魔符文
per boss pull in a raid, for example). On the flip side, if an engaging rotation is not a high priority for you, then you will be much better off playing a simpler class like a Rogue, which will let you save lots of weekly farming time and perform more competitively on the meters at the same time.
Hybrid gearing and role
Strictly speaking, Feral Druids are the only
truly
hybrid spec in Classic WoW, as they can perform two distinct roles (tanking and DPS) near-optimally with the exact same talents without making significant compromises to either role. No other class in Classic can do this, as talent trees for distinct roles are typically specialized enough that it is impossible to perform both roles optimally. In contrast, the Feral talent tree in vanilla is quite tightly optimized, with most of the beneficial cat and bear PvE talents consolidated together such that players do not need to focus on just one or the other at level 60. This means that the exact same talent build can be used for main tanking, off-tanking, and cat DPS, providing Feral Druids with the flexibility to fill in any of these roles as needed for a given raid team. Trash packs in vanilla raids typically require more tanks than boss encounters, so there are numerous single tank boss fights where off-tanks should DPS instead. Ferals excel in this role since cat DPS, although not competitive with top DPS classes like Fury Warriors and Rogues, is still very respectable and surpasses a number of other utility specs.
Playing a hybrid role in raids is especially efficient for Ferals because a lot of the best tanking leather is also best in slot or close for DPS. For example, the Phase 1 BiS gear sets for bear tanking and cat DPS in WoW Classic are pretty much
exactly the same
, differing materially in only the helm, cloak, and trinket slots. As such, a Feral off-tank simply needs to substitute
狼头之盔
into their pure tank set in order to create a hybrid gear set with almost peak performance for both tanking and DPS simultaneously! This is especially useful on boss fights where the Druid is tanking only some of the time, such as when assigned to tank
烈焰行者护卫
and
烈焰行者精英
adds in the
鲁西弗隆
and
基赫纳斯
encounters, respectively, within
熔火之心
. In these situations, a Feral wearing tank gear +
狼头之盔
can seamlessly shift from
巨熊形态
into
猎豹形态
once their add is dead in order to pump quite respectable DPS into the boss for the remainder of the fight.
Weaknesses of Feral Druid DPS in WoW Classic
Mediocre gear scaling
Unlike bear TPS, which scales exceedingly well with the primary and secondary stats found on melee DPS gear, cat DPS exhibits quite mediocre gear scaling in comparison, paling relative to that of Fury Warriors and Rogues. The reason for this deficiency is threefold:
(1)
A Feral's extremely fast 1.0 second auto-attack speed in
猎豹形态
indirectly nerfs the scaling of the primary special ability
撕碎
in the cat rotation: Shred scales 2.25
x
with the damage done by each auto-attack, and a fast attack speed necessarily means that each auto-attack scales less strongly with Attack Power.
(2)
Despite its forced fast attack speed, the cat "paw weapon" is treated as a single wielded main hand weapon internally rather than a pair of dual wielded weapons like those of Fury Warriors and Rogues. Dual wielding substantially inflates the DPS contribution of Attack Power, Hit, and Crit on gear. The other three single wielding melee specs, Enhancement
萨满祭司
s, Retribution
圣骑士
s, and Arms
战士
s, also exhibit abysmal gear scaling for this reason, with the first two scaling far worse than even cats due to their lack of an analogue to powershifting for artificially boosting their stat scaling from special abilities to compensate.
(3)
Since the cat "paw weapon" is treated as its own weapon class, Ferals cannot benefit from Weapon Skill bonuses to Sword, Mace, Axe, and Dagger weapons from racials or items like
剑师护手
and
古代熔火皮手套
. Bonus weapon skill is easily the strongest melee DPS stat in vanilla WoW, as it is the only way to mitigate glancing blows on auto-attacks and
also
provides Hit Chance. Since there is no analogue to +Daggers for the Feral paw weapon, cats are stuck dealing with the full 35% damage reduction on glances, which constitute 40% of their total melee attacks!
Limited PvE itemization
Compounding the lackluster gear scaling of cat DPS in vanilla is the fact that there is hardly any PvE gear available for Feral Druids to scale
with
! Just like every other hybrid spec in vanilla, Ferals lack any dedicated Tier sets and must instead rely on a small handful of off-piece upgrades from each raid for their PvE gear progression. Moreover, early Blizzard developers did not at all understand how to properly itemize off-piece leather for Ferals, so many of the options that
do
exist spend their stat allocation very inefficiently. For example, compare the stat allocation on the Druid off-set from
黑翼之巢
(
紧绷的龙皮护肩
,
紧绷的龙皮腰带
, and
紧绷的龙皮手套
) with that on the corresponding Rogue Tier 2 pieces (
血牙肩甲
,
血牙腰带
, and
血牙手套
). Considering that 1 Strength is equivalent to 2.4 AP in DPS value for cats (or 2.64 with
王者祝福
), and that 1 Agility is worth 2.51 AP equivalent (or 2.76 with Kings), it is quite apparent that the raw Attack Power found on the Taut Dragonhide pieces pales in comparison to the equivalent AP on the Bloodfang set. As a result, until the release of AQ40 in Phase 5, PvP rewards are the only source of high quality DPS gear for Ferals during the first half of WoW Classic. If you do not intend to grind out any PvP ranking or reputation rewards, then you will be stuck wearing pre-raid gear like the
魔暴龙护甲
set and
强击护肩
all the way until Phase 4! In practice, this means that a sweaty cat DPS player may be able to give the Rogues in their raid team a run for their money on the meters in the first half of WoW Classic, but will start falling further and further behind over time due to growing discrepancies in the quality of available gear plus the intrinsic differences in the scaling of the two specs.
Lack of cleave damage
While the single target DPS of Feral Druids in Classic WoW is respectable, their multi-target output is absolutely abysmal in both vanilla and TBC. Feral cats lack any AoE or cleave abilities in their toolkit, so their multi-target rotation is exactly the same as the single-target rotation, with targets focused down one at a time. This deficiency does not matter very much in guilds that are raiding casually or focusing on boss parses, as it primarily impacts DPS output on trash mobs. In a competitive speedrun setting, however, trash constitutes the majority of time spent clearing the instance and is usually pulled in sizable packs, so a lack of cleave damage cripples the value of a Feral cat in that context. As a result, even when bringing a Feral Druid who will primarily DPS on boss fights, it is best to leverage the Feral as a tank rather than as a pure DPS for trash.
Class Mechanics for Feral Druid DPS in WoW Classic
Energy
Energy is the primary resource used by Feral Druids when DPSing. Unlike Mana, which is both consumed and regenerated very slowly on the timescale of a full encounter, Energy is regenerated and dumped extremely quickly similar to Rage. Unlike Rage, however, the base rate of Energy generation is constant and not tied to outgoing or incoming damage. In Classic WoW, Energy is regenerated on a fixed 2 second tick, with 20 Energy gained each tick up to a maximum of 100. This tick operates independently from player casts / GCDs, but in practice, the DPS rotation syncs up with the tick cycle since the player will often need to wait for a tick prior to casting their next ability. The Energy regeneration mechanic places a hard limit on the frequency with which special abilities can be cast by Rogues or cats,
unless
the regeneration rate can be manipulated somehow (see below).
Powershifting
Powershifting is
the
mechanic which makes Feral DPS competitive with other classes, and is the most important technique to master when playing a Feral Druid for the first time. The idea behind powershifting is to circumvent the standard limitation on cast frequency for Energy users by enhancing the Energy regeneration rate beyond the standard tick of 20 Energy every 2 seconds. Feral Druids leverage two unique and powerful tools which synergize to make this possible: (1) the
激怒
talent, which instantly generates 40 Energy when shifting into cat form, and (2) the quirky level 40 item
狼头之盔
, which boosts this from 40 to 60 Energy each shift. This means that when a Feral Druid has expended all of their Energy, rather than waiting for 4 seconds (2 Energy ticks) to regenerate enough Energy for another cast, the Druid can instead shift out of
猎豹形态
and then back into
猎豹形态
to end up with 60 Energy right away. In vanilla and TBC, canceling a shapeshift form does not incur a global cooldown, but shifting
into
a form does incur a 1.5 second GCD. Therefore, a powershift effectively generates Energy at a rate of 40 Energy per second, which is 4 times higher than a standard Energy tick! Moreover, since the shift can be performed instantaneously with the help of a powershift macro, the server never "sees" you out of form and the cat swing timer just proceeds as usual.
A typical powershift cycle is illustrated below using the example of two
撕碎
casts, each costing 48 energy:
Time in seconds
Action/Event
Final Energy
0
Powershift
60
1
Energy Tick
80
1.5
GCD ends, cast Shred
32
2.5
GCD ends, wait
32
3
Energy Tick
52
3
Cast Shred
4
4
GCD ends, powershift
60
This cycle allows 2 Shreds to be cast every 4 seconds, with only 4 energy wasted each cycle. In contrast, if we wanted to cast two Shreds the conventional way without powershifting, the DPS cycle starting at the end of the above would look like this:
Time in seconds
Action/Event
Final Energy
0
GCD ends, wait
4
1
Energy Tick
24
3
Energy Tick
44
5
Energy Tick
64
5
Cast Shred
16
6
GCD ends, wait
16
7
Energy Tick
36
9
Energy Tick
56
9
Cast Shred
8
10
GCD ends, wait
8
Notice that without powershifting, it takes 10 seconds to cast the same 2 Shreds! This is why powershifting is such a critical tool for Feral DPS: it more than doubles the rate at which special abilities can be cast.
Mana Management
Powershifting is the key tool which enables the Feral DPS rotation, but it also costs a lot of Mana. At level 60, each powershift incurs a baseline cost of 684 Mana, and since shifts can occur as often as every 4 seconds, this can very quickly deplete a Feral Druid's small Mana pool, since cats wear pure melee DPS gear with no Intellect on it aside from the small quantities found on the PvP ranking sets. For this reason, taking all three points in the
自然变形
talent is non-negotiable for all Ferals, even those who primarily tank and DPS infrequently! Unfortunately, talenting 3/3
自然变形
is not sufficient on its own for sustaining a powershift rotation over typical fight lengths, so Ferals must supplement the talent with efficient usage of Mana consumables and cooldowns.
Mana users in Classic WoW can take advantage of both the potion cooldown and the Healthstone cooldown for Mana regeneration. For maximum uptime, a
黑暗符文
or
恶魔符文
should be popped as soon as your Mana drops to 1500 below max, so as to start the cooldown ticking quickly without wasting any Mana. Once your Rune is used, then continue to execute the powershifting rotation until you are 2250 Mana below your maximum Mana pool, at which point you should pop a
特效法力药水
. Note that these consumables cannot be used in
猎豹形态
, but can be integrated into powershift macros so that no unnecessary GCDs are wasted. Finally, use
激活
when you are close to running completely out of Mana. Note that unlike TBC, where Feral Druids can afford to "give away" their Innervate to other raid members (most commonly an Arcane
法师
),
saving your own Innervate for personal use is absolutely essential to DPS sustainably in vanilla raids
.
In WoW Classic, Mana issues will become a much more serious issue for cat DPS than they were in the first iteration of Classic. Boss fights are expected to last substantially longer in SoM due to inflated HP values on most mobs and significantly reduced raid DPS due to the removal of world buffs in raids. The removal of the
赞达拉之魂
buff in SoM also cuts down a cat's available Mana pool quite significantly. For Alliance cats, these nerfs are counteracted by the availability of
智慧审判
due to the greatly expanded boss debuff limit in SoM.
Make sure to ask for
智慧审判
to be applied and maintained on raid bosses
if you are DPSing in an Alliance raid, as it makes a night and day difference for a Feral Druid's sustainability on long fights. For this reason,
it is strongly recommended to choose the Alliance faction if you are planning on playing a Feral Druid in primarily a DPS rather than tanking role during WoW Classic
, as the lack of
智慧审判
in Horde raids will make life very difficult for cats on longer fights. Mana issues are expected to be so severe without
智慧审判
that previously useless trinkets like
变形符文
may actually end up being best in slot for Horde Ferals.

The only race option for Alliance Druids is Night Elf. As mentioned in the Mana Management section above, Alliance is by far the superior faction for Feral DPS players, as
智慧审判
on its own can be the difference between running out of Mana just a minute into a pull versus being able to powershift sustainably for the entirety of a 3-4 minute boss kill. To add insult to injury, Alliance cats possess a higher Mana pool due to
王者祝福
, and even
more
bonus Mana regen from
智慧祝福
.
Horde
The only race option for Horde Druids is Tauren. Due to the serious Mana issues faced by Horde cats, it is recommended for Horde Ferals to shy away from a pure cat DPS role and prioritize tanking in
巨熊形态
as much as possible over the course of a raid.
Alliance Races for Feral Druid DPS in WoW Classic
暗夜精灵

: Transform into a wisp upon death, increasing movement speed by 50%.
迅捷
: Dodge chance increased by 1%.
影遁
: Activate to slip into the shadows, reducing the chance for enemies to detect your presence. Lasts until cancelled or upon moving. Night Elf Rogues and Druids with Shadowmeld are more difficult to detect while stealthed or prowling.
The only Night Elf racial ability that provides any value for Feral DPS in a raid environment is
自然抗性
, as the AQ40 raid in Phase 5 includes two encounters,
哈霍兰公主
and
维希度斯
, where NR is helpful on all DPS players to reduce overall damage intake on the raid.

战争践踏
: Stuns up to 5 enemies within 8 yds for 2 sec.
In addition to
自然抗性
, which provides the same PvE value as it does for Night Elves,
耐久
is an amazing PvE racial that scales multiplicatively with every other source of increased health from consumables and raid buffs, including flat health buffs like
泰坦合剂
. The health boost is useful not only when tanking, where it amplifies the already high health pool of bears, but also when DPSing in
猎豹形态
, since early WoW Classic raids have been buffed with new raid-wide damage mechanics that are especially dangerous to cats due to the very low Stamina levels on pre-raid Feral DPS gear.
Specializations for Feral Druid DPS in WoW Classic
Feral Druids specialize deep into the Feral tree, with only a limited number of talent points spent elsewhere. This section will describe the overall benefits of each tree in the context of cat DPS.
Balance
The Balance tree contains a number of valuable talents for Feral cats. Most importantly, the straight 10% total damage boost from
武器平衡
is mandatory and worth many other talents combined. In addition,
清晰预兆
is also a great DPS talent, as Omen procs translate directly into more special abilities that can be cast within each powershift cycle. Finally, taking
自然变形
is a requirement for
all
Ferals, as even main tanks should be spending a decent chunk of time throughout a raid DPSing in
猎豹形态
when their tank target is dead, and the talent is necessary to powershift sustainably without running out of Mana prematurely.
Feral
The overwhelming majority of useful talents for Feral druid tanking and DPS are found in the Feral tree. The vanilla Feral tree is tightly optimized with lots of overlapping cat and bear talents, so the exact same build can be used for both roles without making significant compromises to either one. For DPS specifically, the most important mandatory talents are
强化撕碎
,
锋利兽爪
,
猛兽攻击
,
野性之心
, and
兽群领袖
. The presence of so many highly impactful talents deep into the Feral tree constrains any Feral talent build to invest heavily in this tree rather than hybridizing. Lower impact DPS talents are
野性侵略
(since
凶猛撕咬
is cast infrequently in the DPS rotation) and
血之狂暴
(since the extra Combo Points do not always translate into added DPS). Technically,
精灵之火(野性)
can be omitted if a Balance or Restoration druid is consistently present in the raid group, but it is recommended not to skip it.
Restoration
An optimized Feral talent build will take only 5 points in the Restoration tree for maxing out the
激怒
talent. The primary purpose of
激怒
is to unlock the Feral DPS powershifting rotation in
猎豹形态
, so it is mandatory for
all
Ferals to talent it in order to be able to DPS effectively when not actively tanking a mob. The Restoration tree also contains the
强化狂怒
talent that is a nice quality of life boost for bear tanks, but it unfortunately cannot be taken in any competitively viable talent build due to a lack of available talent points after accounting for other mandatory tanking and DPS talents.
Best PvE Spec for Feral Druid DPS in WoW Classic
The best PvE talent build for Feral Druids is
14/32/5
, and is optimized for both tanking and DPS simultaneously without compromising significantly on either front. There are a few variants of the build that are covered in our Classic Feral Druid DPS Talents & Builds Guide, but these differ only in the choice of whether to max out the
凶暴
talent or the
野性侵略
talent. For tank focused players, two further variations are possible if you opt to forego 2/5
野性侵略
in favor of 1-2 points in
厚皮
and/or
原始狂怒
, as covered in our Classic Feral Druid Tank Talents & Builds Guide. Besides these limited variations, the build takes every single Feral talent besides
豹之迅捷
and
野蛮冲撞
, both of which are PvP / open world talents that do not benefit your PvE performance in raids. Every other talent in the Feral tree provides either DPS or tanking value and should be taken for PvE, since one of the primary benefits of Feral Druids in Classic raids is the ability to perform either role equally well. The most important talents for DPS specifically are listed in the "Feral" section above.
Outside of the Feral tree, this build takes
激怒
,
武器平衡
,
自然变形
, and
清晰预兆
. These talents encompass everything in the Restoration and Balance trees that is essential for Feral tanking and DPS, and require "wasting" only 5 talent points on
强化愤怒
or
强化自然之握
for progressing through the Balance tree. As such, besides these 5 filler points, this build lacks a single talent that doesn't directly benefit the PvE performance of a Feral Druid, which is a testament to how tightly optimized the Feral talent tree is in Classic WoW. Additionally, most of the key cat talents are also key bear talents:
锋利兽爪
,
猛兽攻击
,
精灵之火(野性)
,
野性之心
,
兽群领袖
,
武器平衡
, and
清晰预兆
.
Best Professions for Classic Feral Druid DPS
Engineering
Engineering is an absolute must-have if you are trying to go the extra mile in PvE or PvP. In PvE, one of the highest impact consumables available to Feral Druids (after
手动惩戒器
and Mana consumables of course) is
地精工兵炸药
, which requires Goblin Engineering to craft but can be used by Engineers of either specialization. Sappers are especially useful in a speedrun environment as a strong DPS cooldown on AoE trash packs, and partially compensate for the lack of any viable AoE damage abilities in the vanilla Feral toolkit. Many boss encounters also include multiple adds that spawn alongside the boss, and the combined DPS added by a Sapper across all targets can even surpass the contribution of staple consumables like
猫鼬药剂
!
Engineering is also the source of the absolute best DPS trinket in the entire game:
侏儒作战小鸡
, which requires the Gnomish specialization to craft. The
作战鸣叫
buff provided by the
作战小鸡
scales multiplicatively with the Haste from
手动惩戒器
, and is worth close to 70 AP in value for personal DPS. But critically, the Haste buff applies to your entire party, making the total raid DPS impact of the chicken quite enormous. Furthermore,
作战鸣叫
buffs from multiple chickens can be stacked and scale multiplicatively with one another, so it is optimal for every party member to use their
侏儒作战小鸡
at the same time when progressing through raids. Recently, a
reliable method
has been discovered for securing guaranteed
作战鸣叫
procs, making the
工程学
profession even more essential for competitive raiders.
Blacksmithing
Blacksmithing is required for crafting the very useful utility trinket
闪光的秘银徽记
, and must be permanently trained in order to equip and use the trinket. Horde Ferals will get the most use out of this trinket due to the lack of
防护恐惧结界
for mitigating Fear mechanics in Horde raids. Fears are especially detrimental when tanking raid bosses, as they cause the boss to temporarily swap targets to the next highest person on Threat until you regain control of your character, but also significantly reduce your personal DPS in
猎豹形态
by reducing your active uptime on the boss. The following are examples of vanilla raid bosses with Fear mechanics that can be mitigated using a combination of
防护恐惧结界
/
战栗图腾
and
闪光的秘银徽记
in order to squeeze out more DPS and improve your parse:
奥妮克希亚
,
玛格曼达
,
奈法利安
,
亚尔基公主
, and
格拉斯
. Outside of its PvE value, the Blacksmithing trinket is also extremely useful in PvP, for example when carrying flags in Warsong Gulch.
Blacksmithing also provides a big quality of life benefit for Ferals by allowing you to craft and apply your own
铁质平衡锤
s to your Pummelers. Counterweights are worth over 40 AP equivalent in value for cat DPS, making them easily worth the effort and gold to craft. Somewhat counterintuitively, the 3% Haste buff applies to your melee attacks while shapeshifted, and scales multiplicatively with the 50% Haste from MCP. Counterweights are also quite cheap to craft (especially when compared to the "true BiS" 25 Agility enchant), so it is actually practical to apply one to each of your Pummelers every week without breaking the bank.

So... All feral cat gearing is horrible. I threw this together today. Based on actually decent Phase 4 gear. No wonder people think druids can't dps.
