Tips on how to play Feral Druid?

cocoshovel

Okay got a new character from the Scroll of Resurrection and picked a druid...which Im now begining to regret as I feel overwhelmed with information and I have 0 previous experience with this class.

I mainly want to just play DPS in dungeons but I also am very interested in pvp. Would anybody be so kind as to give me some tips in the area of rotation, what spells/abilities to use, what forms to use and when etc.

Just want to get the basics and Ill get the hang of it on my way to level 85

There is plenty info online already but I find its either too advanced or not exactly for people who gained a level 80 out of nowehere :pac:

Feral was my main class, I loved play it! I did a fair bit of tanking but I lived for pvp.
here is a guide about the pvp side of it, there is a video you can download where I think he reads the guide word for word if you read some of it first like i did

Obviously Bear is for tanking and soaking up damage with way more armour and stamina than any other form - and alot of abilities to enhance tanking.
Cat is dps and if you are pvping you will want to be in cat form most of the time to get combo points for instant casts and get big of damage in.
You will need to switch to bear alot for bashes, soaking up damage, self heals and using the charge as an immobiliser.

Just have a read of the guide and practice alot on mobs etc until you get the basics.
Generally in pve you will want mangle up all the time and a bleed (rake and 5 point rip) and spam shred
