Talents
Feral Druid
Druid of the Claw Level 70
Spec Tree
- Tiger's Fury
- Increase the damage of all your attacks for their full duration.
- Adaptive Swarm
- You want to maximize the amount of Adaptive Swarm by casting Adaptive Swarm on as many targets as possible. This can even be on friendly targets if you already have Adaptive Swarm on every enemy.
- Apex Predator's Craving
- Every Rip tick, you have a chance to make your next Ferocious Bite free and deal the maximum damage.
- Primal Wrath
- Applies Rip in AoE.
- Omen of Clarity
- Your auto attacks have a chance to cause your next Shred, Thrash and/or Swipe / Brutal Slash to cost 0 energy.
- To maximize this effect you want to avoid using it on Brutal Slash as it costs way less energy than the other abilities.
- You want Moment of Clarity up as well to boost its efficacy further.
- Convoke the Spirits
- Use this to cast a bunch of powerful spells on your target.
Class Tree
- Stampeding Roar
- Very useful to gap close other mobs while questing.
- Nature's Vigil
- You can pull a lot of mobs with it and sustain yourself.
Hero Talents
- Druid of the Claw performs better than Wildstalker while leveling due to the fact that Ravage is doing massive AoE damage and can kill anything really quick.
- With Killing Strikes, you can get a proc of Ravage on almost every pull.
