Bear is the first form you will obtain when you hit level 10. After you switch into and out of the form about a dozen times immediately after you get it, and discover the “Bear Dance,” you’ll want to get back to leveling. This is a tanking form which means that you have the ability to take a beating really well but you are not really all that great at dealing damage. Your job as a tank is to get in the face of an enemy and keep them focused on hitting you rather than other members of your group. While you’re getting beaten on someone else is doing the serious damage to the enemy and, if you’re really lucky, someone might be healing you as well. For the first ten levels of Bear, you’ll want to focus on strength and stamina for stats. Strength lets you hit hard, gives a higher attack power which bumps your threat level. The higher your threat level, the more enemies want to beat the crap out of you rather than someone else in your group and that is a good thing.
Feral Druid is your choice at the beginning. However, a common approach is to put your first talent points into Ferocity, Savage Fury and Feral Instinct. By the time, this way you hit level 20 and gain your cat form you will already have an increase in damage and a better prowl waiting for you. Who wouldn’t want to play as Bears, Cheetahs, Puma and Lion looking things, a Tree, Moonkins, a wacky sea lion swimming form and even birds? So you run off and roll yourself one and right away you notice two things. One is that you can not turn into anything cool at all and another is that you have got is a couple crappy little offensive spells. Many players quit the class before they even get to Cat and miss out all the fun. You should be patient and get to Cat form before you made a decision to dump the class.
For some players, it is frustrating to start out a Feral Druid. So here want to tell of a simple guide to get you from a wimpy new Druid running around a field with a bent stick to a stealthy Cat shredding everything in its path. The trick is to get to your Cat Form as fast as possible. Once you get there, at level twenty, the real damage begins. So let’s get down to it right now.
It has nothing to do with the Feral Druid build at all from level 1 to 9. You’ve got some spells to attack with, Root and some healing. Blast through these levels quickly by Moonfiring and Wrathing the heck out of everything and keeping yourself healed. It is important for you to get the timing of your spells down as you will use these extensively even as a Feral Druid. Practice using and watching your Moonfire Damage over Time ticker. As you gain more of these types of spells like Faerie Fire, Insect Swarm, Lifebloom, Rejuvenation, you’ll want to be aware of the timers and know when you need to refresh these spells, even as a Feral Druid. Practice using Root to Crowd Control enemies as this will be part of your role on occasion, especially when you earn the spell Cyclone later on.
