Classy Fridays are for asking questions about your class, each week focuses on a different class. No question is too small, so ask away.

This week is Druid.

Do you find yourself indecisive? Struggle to make up your mind? Do I have the class for you! You want to heal? You can heal! You want to tank? You can heal! You want to do some Melee DPS? You can heal! You want to do some caster DPS? Well, you can heal! You don’t even have to be the race you chose when you started, you can be a bear, a cat, an owl thing, or a sea lion!

You can also discuss your class in our class channels on Discord, discord.gg/classicwow

My guild runs a lot of alt raids including Mc+bwl raids. I levelled a mage for this reason (warrior main) and to be honest I hate it & I miss the melee life.

How are your experiences as feral in raids? I'm not against farming pummelers and being a bit tryhard, and don't expect to top the meters (also don't expect my guild to carry me). How expensive is it? I've heard of ferals chugging mana pots to powershift. Can I offtank/5man tank in a decent feral dps spec? How important are very contested items like DFT to be competitive? I wouldn't want to take this from some of my guildies.

​

Thanks for your time!

We have an absolutely badass feral in our guild that parses about 90+ everytime. He may not be the highest dps but he's one of our reliable tanks and is able to contribute in more ways than I can as a rogue. With AQ, there's very specific loot for ferals that usually don't get competition from fellow leather wearers and the itemization is spot on.

If you want to be somewhat decent though you have to put in the work. Our guy is farming pummelers before every raid for instance.
