DRUID / ROLE CONDITIONS

Which form and job does this group need from the Druid?

Agree on the Bear tank role and pack target. Inspect form Stamina and armor, Charge control and Primal Bite high threat; record enemies leaving the intended pack, incoming damage and healer recovery across comparable pulls. Legal ranks alone do not establish safe tanking. Selected 1.60.1.70291 ranks: Heart of the Wild 5/5: Increases your Intellect by 10%. In addition, while in Bear Form or Dire Bear Form your Stamina is increased by 20% and while in Cat Form your Strength is increased by 10%. Thick Hide 3/3: While in Bear Form, Cat Form, Dire Bear Form, or Moonkin Form, you gain 3 additional base Armor per level and another 2.00 base Armor for each point of defense skill beyond five times your level. This amount can be further increased by multipliers from those forms. Feral Charge 1/1: Charge an enemy, immobilizing them and interrupting any spell they are casting for 4 sec. Feral Charge (Cat): 8-25 yd range, Instant, 30 sec cooldown, Requires Cat Form. Leap behind an enemy. Primal Bite 1/1: Bite the target, dealing 100% normal damage plus 26 and generating a high amount of threat. Tooltip amounts are the export’s Level 60 snapshot, not rescaled results for the selected planner level. Point tiers, full-rank prerequisites and editorial spending order remain planning assumptions.

BLIZZARD OCTOBER 1 NOTESOfficial

October 1 Beta changes for Druid

Official Beta announcement · Blizzard’s October 1 development notes

Feral: the King of the Jungle talent was removed, and Tiger’s Fury was removed.

Feral: Shifting Power was added in row 4 after Shredding Attacks; Improved Shifting Power was added in row 5 after Shifting Power.

Bear and Dire Bear critical strikes now generate 75% more Rage; Swipe now gains 3% of Druid attack power, and Primal Bite generates roughly twice the threat.

Shapeshift forms are immune to Disarm, and Faerie Fire no longer resets the swing timer.

The live Beta level cap is 30. The talent structure was reconciled through 1.60.1.70291; 21-point Level 30 routes are editorial allocations. Rank descriptions retain their separate community transcription evidence, and point-order rules remain derived assumptions.

Data sources, verification & planning limits

Reviewed Druid snapshot: 52 visible nodes from Wago client build 1.60.1.70291, reconciled against Talents Forever. All 148 rank descriptions are adapted from Talents Forever (CC BY 4.0, https://talentsforever.com), with community verification. The Nature’s Majesty–Nature’s Splendor prerequisite direction is community-reviewed against two exact raw edges; both original edge records are preserved. The export resolves tooltip values at Level 60; it does not rescale them to the selected level or simulate damage. Level 30 examples spend 21 points; the existing Level 20 page uses eleven-point stages of this reviewed tree. One point per level from 10, five points per tier, full-rank prerequisites and the editorial point order remain derived planning assumptions. Original 69913 saves remain historical records and are not partially migrated into a changed allocation.

Feral: selected talents and trade-offs

Ferocity 5/5 and Heart of the Wild 5/5 lead to Feral Charge at eleven. Thick Hide 3/3 and Feral Swiftness 1/2 reach fifteen. Savage Fury 2/2, Sharpened Claws 2/2 and Primal Bite precede Leader of the Pack at twenty-one.

Feral Swiftness is partial and Feral Instinct is unselected. Primal Bite generates high threat, which matters differently while tanking and while another character tanks. Leader of the Pack’s party aura is exclusive with Moonkin Aura in the exported text.

Keep weapon and target level fixed. Record form changes, Cat travel, Bear pack control, incoming damage and party range before comparing the route.
