Druid Leveling Spec for Cataclysm – 4.3.4

Druid Leveling Spec For Cataclysm

This is the build that I would go with for a druid leveling spec, it is the best for leveling a druid as fast as possible for WoW 4.3.4 going forward. I have done a ton of research on a lot of these talents, but all of that math was done from the perspective of a max level character looking to level. The comments I will make here are based almost entirely on my experience with druids and leveling characters. I have not done any DPS specifically for this post, but rather I am going off of what I have previously discovered and also the latest patch info combined.

My Leveling Philosophy is as follows:

There are a lot of different ways to level your druid. Some people prefer to go slow  to experience as much content as possible. Some others like to do PvP or run a ton of dungeons or instances. I prefer neither of these avenues. I have one main goal while leveling a druid. Get to the next level as quickly as possible. Therefore I make some choices in this process that may seem a little odd to the untrained eye. Here are some more details:

Druid Leveling Spec – 4.3.3 and Cataclysm

This is My favorite Feral Druid leveling spec, since Feral is the fastest from 1-80. Some players like to start Feral spec, then switch at level 40 or so to Balance for Moonkin form. I prefer to continue with feral to keep the leveling ball rolling smoothly.

With the 4.3.4 here are some things you should already know

  • You’re locked into one particular tree until you achieve 31 points in that tree.
  • You get certain abilities automatically when you pick your main tree.
  • 31 pts gets you to the top of your tier talent tree and 41 pts (at level 85) is all the points you get.
  • Mastery is a trainable ability that allows you a bonus to some abilility, such as increased damage. Cataclysm gear will often come with a Mastery rating and stacking that rating will improve the bonus you recieve. Whether that’s better than stacking hit rating or critical or anything else, time will tell.

Cataclysm Feral Druid Leveling spec

When you reach level 10 you pick up your first Feral talent and then you’re locked into that tree for a while. You will also pick up the Mangle ability at level 10. As you advance through the levels and the Feral tree you will also, automatically, learn these things:

  • Aggression – increases attack power by 25%
  • Vengence – as you take damage, in Bear form, you will gain attack power
  • Feral Instinct – you become harder to detect while prowling
  • Mastery: Savage Defender / Razor Claws - For Savage Defender, damage absorbed by the Savage Defense ability is greatly improved. For Razor Claws, it will increases the damage from your bleed effects.

The Feral build: This build is speced to get you to the top talent, Berserk (31 pts,) ASAP. After that is reached you can spec more feral or go into the other trees as well.

  1. 3/3 in Furor – Gain rage when shifting to Bear form, retain your energy when shifting to cat form,  gain mana.
  2. 2/2 in Predatory Strikes – Increased critical chance on Ravage, chance of next Nature spell becoming instant
  3. 3/3 in Fury Swipes – Cat and Bear auto-attacks have a chance to do a 200% weapon damage strike
  4. 2/2 in Primal Fury – A chance to get rage or combo points from criticals.
  5. Feral Charge – Charge while in bear or cat form and stun Enemy.
  6. 2/2 in Stampede – While in Bear form this increases haste after charging; in Cat form, after charging, your next Ravage does not require stealth for a few seconds.
  7. If you’re tanking a lot, or using Bear a lot, go with 2/3 Thick Hide, which increases armor and reduces the criticals that will hit you. Otherwise I would go 2/3 King of the Jungle which increses your bear damage and allow Toger’s Fury to restore your energy.
  8. Leader of the Pack – Increased critical chance for your entire party or raid and your critical strikes has a chance to heal you and restore your mana a bit.
  9. 2/2 in Brutal Impact – Increases the stun duration of Bash and Pounce, decreases cooldowns, victims of Skull Bash have elevated mana costs for a few seconds.
  10. 2/2 in Nurturing Instinct – Your Agility elevates your healing spells and while in cat form you get 20% improved effect from heals cast on you.
  11. 3/3 in King of the Jungle – Obvious
  12. 2/2 in Primal Madness – Raises Rage and Energy
  13. Survival Instincts – Reduces damage taken by 60% for 12 seconds while in Bear or Cat form.
  14. 1/2 in Endless Carnage – Increases active durations of Rake, Savage Roar, and Pulverize
  15. 3/3 in Rend and Tear – Elevates damage done to bleeding targets
  16. Pulverize – An instant strike that does more damage depending on how many Lacerates you have on the mob.
  17. 1/2 in Feral Swiftness – Increases movement speed in cat form and raises dodge chance in cat or bear form.
  18. Berserk – Among several other thing this clears fear effect and makes you immune to fear for a  limited time.
  19. You can now pick up talents in the other trees, if you so choose
  20. 3/3 in heart of the Wild – Increases your statistics
  21. 2/2 in Natural Shapeshifter – Reduces the mana cost of shapeshifting abilities
  22. Master Shapeshifter – Improves all your shapeshifter forms.
  23. 2/2 in Feral Swiftness
  24. 2/2 in Endless Carnage
  25. 2/2 in Natural reaction – Makes your bear form tougher, or 2/2 in Blood in the Water which refreshes Rip on low health mobs.

Before Bear Form:

  • Spam Wrath, keep your buffs active, keep your heals handy if you get into a sticky situation.
  • Moonfire is nice for mobs that run away and a good finishing blow. not a ton of damage done, but it’s instant and does it’s damage over time.

As you level and get new abilities, you should try to:

  • Keep Savage Roar active at all times.
  • Use Mangle and Rake to build up combo points
  • at 3-5 Comb points use Rip
  • If the  above isn’t enough, go to Tiger’s Fury and Berserk, as is needed

This Feral talent build is focused on providing the greatest amount of possible damage while in cat form, although it can also be used for Bear form as well. (Bears can smell fear! j/k hehe) Either way you go, with a combo of huge DPS and respectable healing capabilities, this will match up well with both rogues and hunters at the front of the leveling race.

With most class talent trees being a mixture of excellent talents and filler talents, you will have to drop a point here and there to simply fill the holes between the truly desired abilities, and those that will help you get to the next tier.

Stats & Gear Help

For this druid leveling spec, focus primarily on melee stats in much the same manner to other melee-based classes out there.  This makes it easy for us to gear our Druid, given the massive amounts of DPS gear that exist at all levels of the game.

If you’re spending a lot of time in bear form, then Strength should comes first.  Strength gives you an increase in attack power which is raised further by your Heart of the Wild talent, meaning a ton of attack power overall and, therefore, a grip of damage. All your feral cat abilities scale with Strength as well.

Your second most important stats include Stamina and Agility. Agility will add yet more increase to attack power and your damage capabilities. Stamina gives you more health, and therefore increased survivability.  If you seem to be tanking more than you should focus more on stamina and if you are DPS them you will want more agility respectively.

Primary stats: While leveling you really only need to think about these. People differ on Strength Vs. Agility. Strength gives increased attack power, Agility gives more criticals. High Strength gives you more consistent damage, high Agility gives you more of those exciting critical strike numbers.

  1. Strength and Agility
  2. Stamina (if you find yourself dying to much)

Secondary stats (more important at high level and for raiding and PvP) Remember, this is for leveling, not raiding or PvP. The value of any of these stats will change a lot depending on your build and which role you choose.

  1. Hit rating is important util you hit 164 rating
  2. Critical chance – more is always good
  3. Attack Power - more is always better
  4. Armor penetration – more is always better
  5. Expertise – up to the max of 164
  6. Haste rating – up to the max of 164
  7. Spell power – not important at all really (with this build)
  8. Mastery: Coming along with Cataclysm.

I highly recommend picking up the leveling guide that I use to go along with this or any leveling you do. It’s totally FREE to try out, there is no obligation to buy it if you don’t like it, but trust me when I say you won’t want to level without it. It’s the only guide that is complies with all Blizzards new add-on policies. It’s just the best one out there. Try it yourself and see. Hope you have fun with this great druid leveling spec!

At Long Last! A Cataclysm Gold Add-on

whether you’re here to get your hands on a great druid leveling spec or just discover what the most successful players use to dominate WoW. A few things are quite well known. Worldwide, there are 10 million people or so playing World of Warcraft. If you want to play seriously too then you should want to know, in addition to getting the best druid leveling spec, how to create large piles of gold as quickly as possible in WoW and you can be sure that you’re checking out the right article, because I will tell you a method of earning over 200 gold an hour and if that’s not good enough for you, I might even share with you one of the biggest secrets on making gold in WoW, a secret that might make you even as much as 1000 gold an hour.

So, how do I make gold fast in WoW? If you really want to learn how to create gold fast in WoW then you should know that there are many methods to earn yourself some gold, and your total earnings per hour are totally dependent on applying the correct techniques. A very widely known avenue by players is called the Auction House or AH or auctioneer method.

The principle of this method goes like this: buy low, sell high. There are 3 simple steps to follow if you want to have success using this method:

1. Research the Auction House; (if you don’t already know it pretty well)

2. Buy a hot item – that has a high demand rate – for a low or lower price

3. Then you resell the item – with a higher price – making you good profit.

1. In this step you need to observe the Auction House and decide which items are selling like water in the desert. It’s ideal to find items that are in sought after even if the buyers knows it’s overpriced, because it means that the item is rare and advantageous to players. They will pay just about anything for said items.

You probably already understand how the other 2 steps work, so now I would like to reveal the secret: There are a handful of players who have developed their own guides and their own gold creating techniques. The one I use was made by someone who has really spent some time researching some super techniques. This guide is so new and powerful that I learned from it how to make up to 1000 gold an hour or more in some cases. If your goal is similar to my own, you want to enjoy the game on a whole new level.  I suggest to get this guide because, not only it will help the way you play the game but it will also improve your game playing experience, all without using cheats or hacks that will get your account banned.

As I came to realize, the internet is full of mediocre WoW gold products.  I have already fully researched the top 3 of these guides and have figured out through application which of these is the best and the hands down winner isn’t even another useless guide. It’s actually a full fledged WoW add-on program. I have included a link over on the right sidebar and a link below this article to get this super WoW gold add-on. This one was the best because it was easy to follow, extremely effective, and always keeping you current on new game changes and techniques to take advantage of and it does some things on its own that couldn’t be done before.

Druid Leveling Strategies

Thank you for stopping by Druid Leveling Spec. Just to give you a little background on myself, so you have some frame of reference. I’ve been playing World of Warcraft  for about almost 4 years in October. I still really enjoy creating new alts, but I hated the grind of leveling up my characters so I could catch up with my friends and guild members. I tried  going to outside web sites for help or buggy and poorly conceived add-ons that don’t get updated when the next WoW patch goes into effect. And as anybody who enjoys playing  MMO games usually knows already, you can quest only if you want… but it’s never quite as efficient as grinding it out unless the game developers specifically build quest-based leveling into the programming of the game in question. (As they did with Burning Crusade, Lich king and Cataclysm).

After playing this game for many years you begin to acknowledge that there are always some quests you miss out on in the lower levels of the game. The problem is they are far to scattered throughout the realms to be worth trying to leveling off of because you can’t keep track of them without going to an outside source or know which ones give out the most experience points from memory. There is just not enough time in the day.

Because of this and other reasons, I decided that I would give a try to Zygor’s leveling guide. I might as well, it was TOTALLY FREE to try. I figured, if nothing else it would give me a structured path I could follow if I had no real course of action for that day, but as it happens, when I installed this guide it added a whole new level of ease and speed to my druid leveling spec and really added a much better game experience above all it give me an advantage over everyone else who doesn’t have it.

Once I gave it a try with the 1-15 guide on a recently made new warlock character, I was really impressed. I thought I was pretty schooled at leveling. I mean, I’ve run levels 1-40 about 10 times prior. I know the Barens like the back of my own hand (prior to Cataclysm anway), but the level of efficiency this guide introduced into my game play experience, turns me from an experienced player into a complete leveling machine. This was awesome!

The days when I would get super bored leveling a lowbie and switch back to my main character for the “real” fun times were almost over. The guide allows me to have optimum Cataclysm leveling pathed out ahead of time so that I can be ready for the next zone I should move to, long before I would have ever conceived of setting a hearthstone for the new area. I no longer need to keep track of all the scattered and random quests and zones that yield the most XP, Zygor’s Guide does the all the grunt work for me automatically. It for sure lets me level faster than my guild members who don’t have it, without any doubt whatsoever. My guild mates actually believed I was involved in some big time grinding sessions to be leveling as rapidly as I was. That was not the case though, not one ounce of grinding. Only questing. This works really works like a charm.

Simply put, grinding was a real grind. Questing with Zygor’s is truly a breeze. My only regret was not getting it much sooner to use on my upper level characters. Finally a big side note here!
