Druid leveling guide for WoW Forever: Feral build, forms and abilities

The Druid starts slowly and then takes off with Bear Form at 10 and Cat Form at 20. Method warns that talents may change and says it will update after launch. This page condenses the main guide so you can start playing; where the source is silent, we say so.

Which spec to level

• Feral is "the fastest and most popular choice for leveling". Damage build order: Ferocity, Feline Swiftness, Leader of the Pack, Predatory Strikes, then Primal Bite and Shifting Power. Savage Fury is a key early talent.
• A hybrid build takes Feral Instinct early, then Thick Hide, Primal Bite for bear threat and Rend and Tear.
• Balance works but is not the most efficient; Method suggests respeccing into it beyond level 30.

Plan and share any build in our talent calculator, or see the full Druid class page.
