Feral Combat Druid

Melee DPS / Tank (cat and bear)Race: TaurenBuild 1.60.1.70753
Feral covers both cat and bear. Shredding Attacks, Predatory Strikes and Rend and Tear are the cat damage, Feral Charge is the gap-closer and interrupt, Lacerate builds bear threat, Leader of the Pack gives the group crit, and Primal Bite and Shifting Power close out the tree. Restoration points add Heart of the Wild and Natural Shapeshifter for cheaper shifting.
