[Guide] AoE Grinding as a Feral Druid!

[Judas911]

Here goes my attempt at showing you guys how to AoE grind as a feral druid with minimal gear...

Everyone shows how they can pull 5+ mobs their own level with a paladin, mage, whatever... im here to show that you can do it just as well as a feral druid...

[Skills]
[Offensive Skills]
[Swipe]

This is probably the most important skill to use, it does great aoe damage, and with the Primal Fury talent you get +5 rage every time you crit, which can be up to as many times you crit.

[Berserk] + [Mangle]

With Berserk, Mangle can affect nearby targets as well, making this an ideal aoe situational tool... with no cooldown you can take down any group. Save this combo for big groups.

[Defensive Skills]
[Demoralizing Roar]

This is a great skill, decreasing an unlimited amount of enemies Ap, for 30 seconds at the cost of 10 rage is incredible...

[Barksin]

No mana cost, last 12 seconds and decreases ALL damage taken by 20%

Healing Abilities
[Regrowth]

This heal is fast, heals for a large amount and leaves a HoT on afterwers, the ideal move to use after you pop on barskin. Followed up with a Rejuv to take advantage of no global cooldown and shift back into Bear Form.

[Frenzied Regeneration]

Frenzied Regen is a godsend with multiple mobs pounding on you, you will be at close to 100 rage at all times, this is a great oh shit skill to get you out of tight situations.

[Survival Insticts]

Survival Insticts is another great 'Oh Shit' skill, giving you plenty of time to finish your oponents off.

[How]

1. You usally want to start out in cat form... toss a pounce / rip combo combo on your first mob, poping sprint and gathering the rest of the mobs.

2. Get in a good position in bear form, with all the mobs in front of you, losing behind a corner if you need to get rid of some casters.

3. Use Demo shout first, to get all your oponents AP down.

4. Start using your aoe ability, swipe, mangle, etc etc

5. Check every couple seconds on your health compared to theirs, if you get low to like 30%, pop barksin and use regrowth, rejuv get back into bear form and do your thing.

Thorns helps a bit as well.

This is common sense for me since my main is a druid, you can do it with cat swipe too.

Round up 6-8 mobs + Beserk + Swipe. Barkskin if you need it.

When you hit 80 you can round up 12+ mobs as a bear.

+1 rep.

I have done this as a feral drood but your technique is way different then mine. I back pedal keeping mobs infront of me to make sure I dodge attacks and pull other mobs with fearie fire and taunt sometimes a feral charge too. then just spam swipe. Swipe will give you so much rage that you can spam it. you regain HP too from a talent. By doing this some die before others but I'm not worried about loot I was doing it for exp and I basically made a trail of dead bodies just pulling anything that respawns. I was able to handle 15+ green mobs easy.

tl;dr: keep walking backwards, keep pulling mobs, spam swipe.

[Judas911]

l2 spec balance lolwut

Been druid since beta, have done all 3 specs.

Balance is definitely the better of the three at the moment.

I was rocking it back when resto was the fotm.

[ohdaesu]

When my druid was feral,at 80 I was taking 15+ mobs down no problem. You could also get the glyph that lets maul hit 2 targets and spam that aswell as swipe, your health shouldn't go down too much if you specced in Improved Leader of the Pack, butif it does jus stick frenzied regeneration on and you should be fine.

Something is wrong with the pictures...
Try look at the clock and the quest log?

[Judas911]

I took the first picture after the 2nd picture, because i had to wait for the mobs to respawn

[nothinglol]

Personally like the guide. Now I just need to level a druid....

[Judas911]

[Judas911]
