This seemed like a good place for posting my request (drops graphic and runs before getting torn up by the cat form build maulers).



Your comments on this build greatly appreciated. :unsure:

A couple of thoughts

If you plan to do Restoration first (probably a good idea, getting you Nature's Swiftness and Innervate as soon as possible) then you only get Improved Starburst when Starburst is really rather out-moded as a damage form. You will probably Starburst, Moonfire, Faerie Fire to pull, then go bear, changing when you need a heal. A small bit of extra damage on something you only use once per pull isn't that great. I'd suggest the balance talent for uninterruptible entangling roots instead, especially if you pvp.

I very rarely use Rejuvenation. The other heals are more efficient and are so good that standing there and using a big heal will help you more than running and using Rejuvenate most of the time. If you would die before the big heal finished casting Rejuvenate wouldn't have saved you either. You could put those points into Subtlety instead although going cat and spamming Cower is a talent-free alternative, and very often going Bear will work - you can just tank the aggro. Still you will want subtlety for end game raids if you go that far - if the raid wipes because the main tank lost aggro to you saving 5 points on Subtlety it would be unfortunate.

Glad to see you turned down Swiftshifting, I think the recent fix has turned it from a talent that looks and is useless to a talent that looks good but is useless. I find if I change shape I almost never want to change very quickly and if I do (say a cat pull, followed by stomp, regrowth, bear) I'll have tons of mana left when I go to the final shape which defeats the point of mana economy from the talent. Bear needs rage anyway which means you shouldn't keep changing shape because you lose your rage when you do so. I suppose there may be a combo in the talent that gives you rage when you go bear combined with Swiftshifting and the top end feral talent that saves mana when you shift but spamming bear to get free rage seems a rather silly build. Maybe I'll try it out at 60 for a laugh :)

Good build, let us know how it plays
