Art of War - Atiesh Feral Druid PvP [WoW Classic Era] 

😂 I was about to comment the same thing , this is practically the only video with out 1/3rd of the video just being some lame bear duel vs a warrior

It almost seems as if the right person picks up feral in any expansion that it just works

Thanks mate! At 0:44 the trinket on the right is the class trinket from BWL, Rune of Metamorphosis: www.wowhead.com/classic/item=19340/rune-of-metamorphosis

@@notairheart i liked your content so much i rolled a druid on deviate delight which is going through a project called “refresh” also read all your replies on this video and im so impressed. Thank you for making era the amazing game it is. 💖💖

@@latuda4249 Wow, I love to hear that, it's good to know you're keeping the servers fresh! See you at the top!!

Video was great too BTW! Last fight with the mage was intense.

Personally I chose Mark of Tyranny but the points you make about Blackhands are valid as well. If I had to choose again I would STILL choose Mark of Tyranny for these reasons: 1. While both are useful in the early stages of end game content, you will eventually be replacing Blackhand's with DPS trinkets like DFT, Slayer's Crest, Kiss of the Spider, etc. Albeit those are going to be very hard to acquire in the first place there are still plenty of low hanging fruit available outside of raid (Rune of the Guard Captain, HoJ, Earthstrike, etc) 2. Mark of Tyranny stays useful for tanking and mitigation forever. I still use it to tank Naxx and have never switched it out for another trinket. You could in theory craft a Smoking Heart of the Mountain as an enchanter for a similar amount of armor on a trinket (150 instead of 180 and no dodge) but personally, I think it's an unnecessary trade off. Unless you are really determined to cat DPS Mark of Tyranny will have more value, assuming you are willing to do more bear things in raid. A tanking role (for me) has been the best way to acquire all the other feral raid gear. Now you could heal or dps and acquire feral pieces as well, especially in a GDKP, but I just prefer tanking and back in classic was rolling for gear MS>OS so being a feral tank was how I was included into those rolls. 3. Like you said, in a PvP setting both trinket's are not going to be as useful as just rotating on use trinket's. So IMO PvP needs shouldn't really be factored into the decision. Ultimately it is still preference and at the end of the day it isn't going to make or break your character. But just looking at how often I used Mark of Tyranny over the years I cannot recommend Blackhand's Breadth over it. Good luck on your decision I hope this helps!

@@notairheart Thanks mate, those are great points. I will go for Mark of Tyranny then, as I do really enjoy tanking on my druid too! Will be crafting a smoking heart of the mountain too, so will be able to use both initially. Appreciate the advice.

If you're referring to the arc shaped lines on my UI, that is an addon called IceHUD. It's very customizable and tunable to your needs.

Ty @@notairheart

IceHUD. It's very customizable.

In the top left on the target frame I have enemy buff durations using ClassucAuraDurations. On the center right I am keeping track of enemy cooldowns with OmniBar.

Of course! Since this build is a deep feral / omen of clarity spec we are trading survivability for burst. Since it's PvP it depends on what class you are fighting and how many enemies there are but the general rule that I find works for me: VS Clothies/Leather: Ravage -> Shred -> Ferocious Bite. VS Plate/Mail use bleeds instead. This means Pounce -> Rake -> Rip -> Moonfire (if there's time) -> Bear Form. In PvP there are so many moving parts that there is no set rotation for anything though, so it's hard to give a simple rotation in comments. Generally speaking those 2 strategies are what I aim for. If omen of clarity procs, you want to use that free cast for an extra shred almost every time. If you are in a pinch, War Stomp (Tauren), Nature's Grasp, Bash (Bear form) are basically your main ways to create distance and heal. Almost always go for a max rank Regrowth -> Rejuv when healing mid fight. The thing about playing Druid is that there is always so many options in a fight that it really is very situational. And there are many situations where I am not following an exact rotation but just trying to stay close to those 2 strategies for using energy efficiently as possible. You'll learn as you play this spec that VS clothies you have a more offensive/burst strategy while VS armor classes you have a more bleed/survival strategy. I hope that can help!

@@notairheart thats really helpful thanks!

In Classic Era, any class with budget gear will feel sort of bad because many people are running around full BiS and in Phase 6 Naxx/AQ40 epics. However, if you embrace the druid playstyle of not relying on being the best at any one thing, you can find a way to survive and be effective in PvP situations. You will always have to accept that druid is a jack of all trades master of none sort of class, resulting in many strengths but also weaknesses. As far as 5% hit gear for feral goes, the lowest hanging fruit are: Head: Mask of the Unforgiven / Blooddrenched Mask Belt: Belt of Preserved Heads Gloves: Primal Batskin Gloves Wrist: Blackmist Armguards / Primal Batskin Bracers Chest: Primal Batskin Jerkin Cloak: Zulian Tigerhide Cloak Trinket: Rune of the Guard Captain (Horde Only) Shoulders: Truestrike Shoulders Ring: Tarnished Elven Ring These are solid upgrades for a fresh 60 and any combination of them is fine. Most are dungeon and ZG gear. As a feral you just want as many stats as possible, prioritizing stamina, and securing that 5% hit minimum for PvP.

@@notairheart hybrid gear is accessible with blues but lack stam. Also do you think crit/agi is more valuable in pvp than in pve ? (where it is roughly = to str/ap)

@@sylvainbonnamy987 It's hard to say because I'm not really an expert on the stat weights, but I'd bet that crit/agi are better in PvE than PvP since in PvP you'll want more stam and even int. I find that people tend to sacrifice a lot of int/mana for a little more AP/crit and it ends up being a downside because it limits your options during fights. Less shifts, less heals, less moonfire damage kind of a thing.

Haha omg you're right! What was I thinking. Now I see what you are saying and that is so true!!

​@@notairheartLOL

Nah it fits. Good choice for druid. And don't praise Bruce Lee too much, he got his philosophy inspiration from Jiddu Krishnamurti.
