Tufty's planned build:
Feral Combat Talents - 20 points
# Ferocity - rank 5/5
- A no-brainer, these are the bread-and-butter attacks and the energy/rage savings are HY00G!
# Feral Instinct - rank 5/5
- I find myself losing aggro sometimes as a bear - weaker DPS. This will help and also give me an edge on prowling in cat form, in PvP.
# Brutal Impact - rank 2/2
- Never had this before. I'll have to evaluate whether it makes a difference or not in PvP.
# Feline Swiftness - rank 2/2
- PvP talent, purely. All battlegrounds are outdoors.
# Feral Charge - rank 1/1
- Essential! So many uses in PvP and PvE.
# Sharpened Claws - rank 3/3
- Basic form DPS increase.
# Blood Frenzy - rank 2/2
- Basic cat-form DPS increase.
Restoration Talents - 31 points
# Improved Mark of the Wild - rank 5/5
- Someone's gotta have it. Factor in the increased str/agi/sta for damage as well.
# Furor - rank 5/5
- Essential for PvP and PvE bear-tanking.
# Improved Healing Touch - rank 5/5
- Essential for Nature's Swiftness, plus it'll be nice to have a 3-sec heal.
# Nature's Focus - rank 5/5
- You can argue you don't get hit on raids, but when the fur hits the fan...
# Reflection - rank 3/3
- Long ZG boss battles make this skill useful. Could consider Improved Enrage.
# Insect Swarm - rank 1/1
- Getting this, but not Gift of Healing - because this is a useful skill all by itself.
# Tranquil Spirit - rank 5/5
- More efficient healing touches and essential for Innervate.
# Nature's Swiftness - rank 1/1
- Must-have! When things get a bit laggy, I pop this and wait to fire off a max-rank healing touch.
# Innervate - rank 1/1
- Must-have! This represents 3000-4000 mana.
