    About this path

    Any spec can level. This guide follows Feral, using the talents and changes Blizzard has confirmed for WoW Forever.

    Cat Form deals steady melee damage, and WoW Forever removes the old frustrations of staying shifted: potions, weapon enchants and most objects work in form. Your weapon now sets your form damage, so upgrades matter. If you get in trouble, shift to Bear Form or heal yourself.

    Leveling tips

    • Stay in form. Most consumables no longer need you to shift out.
    • Heal between pulls instead of eating, when mana allows.
    • Use Bear Form for big pulls. Bear crits now generate Rage, and Frenzied Regeneration can heal you to full.
    • Pick up Revive at 12 to help party members without a long run back.

    Talent plan

    Your first talent point comes at level 10, one per level after that, so milestone talents arrive at 20, 25, 30 and 40. The table lists the Feral milestones Blizzard has confirmed. A full point-by-point order will be added after we check the tree in the live game.
