Feral 3.3.5 PVE DPS

2019.02.11

Introduction

Feral dps really shines in ICC with the armor penetration cap achieved. Ferals is a good dps with a lot of supports that they can provide for the raid such as Innervate, Rebirth, 5% melee crit and so on. For guilds that are progressing with lower gear in a fresh ICC content it is advised to bring as much druids as you can to get more and more Innervates + Rebirths as you can see on world first Lich King 25hc kill by Paragon they had 2 feral druid dps.

Stat priorities

1. Hit cap 8% around 263

2. Expertise Cap 26

3. Armor Penetration cap 1400 : Gives you a huge physical damage bonus, only gem for it if you have 400-450 or more from gear and go until 1400, above the cap it is wasted.

3. Agility if low geared ( below 400-450 armor penetration without gems ) since agility gives bonus damage to your dots and extra crit. If you are armor capped and crit capped then Strength is better since that gives the most attack power.

4. Strength gives the most attack power. Gem for it if you have everything capped and even crit capped.

5. Crit
- 104.8% crit for maximum crit since your crit is reduced by 4.8% on bosses
- 79.8% Ferocious Bite cap
- 76% melee attack crit cap

After reaching around 80% crit you can gem for strength instead of agility, you would get better results overall.

6. Haste, not worth to go for it, still not a bad stat though.
