so as a feral druid while lvling what skills should i focus on? is 31 ot talent that good really or should i go for a 25-30 feral and 21-26 in balance/resto?

this is what i currently ahve and yes im aware that it stinks and i need to respecc but apart from beeing to tired to see where the pointer is and getting improved wrath and the 5 in resto where should i have put my points? hes currently lvl 41 and lvling is slow if you dont have more then 1 hr a day to play

guess the end result should be something like this?

perhaps go for the get energy rage talent instead of the imp motw but thats one tick free for 5 points doesnt seem to imba to me

jhorar you master lurker dont tell me you havent been in here already answer me!

Well for leveling purpose & pvp idd take Furor over improved MOTW anyday. As when you shapeshift to bear for instance, you can use that 10 rage instantly for a quick feral charge, which is imba to say the least.

Well the 31 pt. pack talent is indeed nice. and I wouldn't skip it pre lvl. 60.
(Nature swiftness is nice, but you'll grind hell of a lot faster without it solo.)

as for lvl 41 idd go for this.

as you can see it doesnt have furor ''yet''. focus on DPS output first

Sorry Morlog, real world and stomach made me leave the computer! Will not happen again!

As for the final spec. As Virt said, Furor > imp motw all days of the week. Instant rage for maul or FC or enough energy for a claw to get fast combopoints.

At 41 as feral i'd probably spec:

With all the points from now on go into balance until OOC, then Furor, FFF and lastly LotP since I see both FFF and lotp as more of pvp/instance talents while OOC is super awesome. I'm also partial to HotW as a generally awesome talent. However, if you intend to do alot of instances i'd invest 2/2 in improved shred since that is the #1 skill as feral in instances(if you're not tanking obviously)

Once BC hits Ferals with iLotP will probably have no downtime grinding/questing. I'm a bit jealous of that since I'll be moonkin, but I'll manage I guess

wtf is blizzard's obsession with druids all about lately :s

Well, it's still a possibility that it's a fake, I haven't found any blue about this and it almost seems to good to be true.

Edit: But hey, I still think we deserve it. ^^

I haven't seen anything about mages tho. :s

Edit: Oh, and windfury and similar procs works now aswell, though i thought that was in the previous patch, but hey.

And from what can be seen here it seems like the ap bonus from the form scales with level?

Insect Swarm ( damage buffed )
pleases me to say the least.

Jhorar · Post by **Jhorar** » 10 Nov 2006, 18:28

That new damage isn't that far behind a nontalented sw:p.

Insect Swarm dps: 792/12 = 66dps

base sw:p dps: 1236/18 = 68,67 dps
