WoW SoD Feral Druid: Phase 3 BiS, Talents & Runes (2024)

WoW SoD Feral Druid Talents & Runes

As a Feral Druid you can choose between two specs for the Phase 3 raid Sunken Temple at level 50:

1. Playing with Leader of the Pack to increase raid-wide DPS.
2. Playing with Furor and Omen of Clarity to maximize your personal DPS.

Both specs use the same runes. Learn where to find each rune in our guide Season of Discovery Druid Runes.

Feral Druid Talents & Runes with Leader of the Pack

Choose the following talents and runes as a Feral Druid with Leader of the Pack for the Phase 3 raid Sunken Temple at level 50:

Loading...

Playing with Leader of the Pack brings the most raid value. This spec has less personal DPS but has 5 flexible talent points. The spec above uses these points for off-tanking and PvP, but you can adapt the build to your liking.

Feral Druid Talents & Runes for Maximum DPS

Choose the following talents and runes as a Feral Druid with Furor and Omen of Clarity for the Phase 3 raid Sunken Temple at level 50:

Loading...

If another Druid brings Faerie Fire to the raid, you can move one talent point from Faerie Fire (Feral) to Natural Shapeshifter.

Feral Druid Rotation (Phase 2)

🚧 Rotation update for Phase 3 is coming soon.

The rotation as a Feral Druid in WoW SoD consists of the following priority list:

1. Keep Faerie Fire (Feral) active on the boss.
2. Keep Savage Roar up.
3. Keep the debuff from Mangle up.
4. Cast Tiger's Fury whenever it’s available and you have 40 or less energy. Cast Berserk immediately after, if it’s available.
5. Cast Rip with 5 combo points, if you don’t need to recast Savage Roar.
6. Keep Rake up.
7. Cast Shred.

The first 3 items on the list are all very important and should be maintained all the time. The exact order of priority is situational but isn’t overly important in your decision-making, since all 3 are indispensable. Only one Druid needs to cast Faerie Fire (Feral) per raid. If another player is responsible for casting Faerie Fire (Feral), you can ignore this step.

You don’t need to use 5 Combo Points to use Savage Roar. It’s ok to use fewer Compo Points. Ideally, Savage Roar runs out if the boss dies, so you didn’t use more Combo Points than necessary on your last Savage Roar. In highly optimized raid groups you will cast a 5 CP Savage Roar against the last trash mob immediately before the boss is pulled. This allows you to start the fight with Savage Roar active for 20 – 30 seconds, depending on how fast the boss will be engaged.

Feral Druid Raid Consumables

The following list of consumables can be used by Feral Druids in Sunken Temple:

• Catnip
• Elixir of the Mongoose
• Elixir of Giants
• Winterfall Firewater
• Grilled Squid

If you expect to off-tank you can bring defensive potions like Elixir of Greater Defense and Mighty Troll's Blood Potion.

2. Crit Chance
3. Agility
4. Strength
5. Attack Power = Feral Attack Power

Everything above the 6% hit chance increase has no additional effect when fighting against bosses in Gnomeregan.
