1) The point of this guide is to give you an idea on how a feral druid should level and give you a spec to shoot for leveling.


2) Feral is the fastest leveling spec and also a druid's tanking spec. Feral focuses on enhancing your "animal" forms. Whether it be improving stats or adding new abilities. Feral druids are in demand through out the game due to their high armor, health, and their ability to tank.



3a) There are two specs that I would suggest for leveling. Both are viable specs for it and each has their strengths. Spec # 1 is a tanking spec while Spec # 2 is meant for cat form dps. Meaning it is not suitable for tanking, just a warning.

Where you place the other three talents are up to you


4a)
1-10 You'll be stuck in caster form, just do what you can to kill the enemy.
11-19 Use bear form, you'll be using Maul as your primary damage ability.
20-80 Cat Form is key for these levels. Your ability rotation will change as you level, here are the four that I used.
Note: This is just a guideline, you do not have to use these.


4b)
Levels 20-31
Claw*/Rip
Level 32-35
Stealth/Ravage/Claw*/Ferocious Bite
Level 36-49
Stealth/Pounce/Claw*/Ferocious Bite
Level 50-73
Stealth/Pounce/Mangle*/Rip
*Use until you have 5 combo points.

Level 74-80
Highest DPS Rotation(s)While soloing:
Pounce/Mangle/Rake/Mangle*/Savage Roar
- Do that at the start, then -
Mangle/Rake/Mangle*/Rip
- Once Savage Roar is no longer active use -
Mange/Rake/Mangle*/Savage Roar
- Then go back to -
Mangle/Rake/Mangle*/Rip
* Use until you have 5 combo points.


4c)
Feral Charge (Cat) - Use this ability to jump behind your enemy while in stealth. Its basically a time saver and helps with pvp and running mobs.
Berserk - Reduces the energy cost of your mangles by 50%. Use this ability whenever it is up.


Tiger's Fury - Increases damage for 6 seconds. Use it whenever it is up.

Nature's Grasp - If your low on health and need to get away from a mob, activate this and the enemy's next attack will cause them to be affected by Entangling Roots, allowing you to run away and heal.

I wrote up a big huge reply refuting most of the stuff in this post, but it got screwed up. All I'm gonna say now, is this guide has a lot of wrong information and needs a bit of work. :/

I oftenly use: Pounce - mangle - Tiger's Fury (energy boost) - shred - shred - dead
