Druida Feral (bear) guide
How to play Feral (bear) in WoW: Forever: what to press, which stats to chase, the talent build level by level, and the gear and dungeons to aim for.
Visão geral
Feral bear is the druid tank. You get a big health pool and armor in Bear Form and hold packs with Swipe. Forever made bear tanking stronger: Growl has a short cooldown, Enrage gives Rage right away and Faerie Fire (Feral) is free.
Good at
- Huge armor and health
- Swipe holds packs well
- Feral Charge to grab mobs or stop casters
- Can shift to heal or res in an emergency
Watch out for
- No shield block or parry
- Rage is slow at the start of a fight
- Single target threat is weak before later levels
How to play it
In order of priority for levels 20 to 30, on one target:
- Feral ChargeCharge in at the start to stop a caster and grab the mob.
- EnrageUse it before the pull for Rage. It gives a chunk of Rage right away in Forever.
- MaulYour main threat on one target.
- Faerie Fire (Feral)Free threat and armor cut in Forever. Use it on cooldown.
- GrowlPull back a mob that runs to the healer.
- Demoralizing RoarLowers the damage you take from every mob near you.
Several targets
