Heeeello guys, i've opened thread a few days ago just to check if anyone is interested into guide, seems like lot of you guys are so here we are!
In this guide I will be going over few ADVANCED tips, nothing too fancy.
1) SPECING
As a feral druid you are very versatile class, you have high based movement speed in cat and that is big part of your class.
Feline swiftness/Displacer Beast/ Wild charge
Here, you always go for the wild charge, it gives you that extra gap closer witch you despratly need for getting CC, applying pressure and more things.
You should use a FOCUS macro with this spell to easier get your bash->cyclones.
#showtooltip Wild Charge
/cast [taget=focus] Wild Charge
Yesera's Gift/Renewal/Cen Ward
90% of the time you want to go with Cenarian Ward in arenas, If you are playing double DPS (Mage-Feral, Hunter-Feral, Warlock-Feral, Ret-Feral, WW-Feral) you want to go with Cenarian ward/Hearth of the wild, unless you are playing healer COMP (DISC/HOLY-feral, MW-Feral, HPALA-feral) you want to go with Yesera's Gift/Natures Vigil for that extra burst and that extra passive healing witch doesn't waist your global cooldowns.
Faerie Swarm/Mass Entaglement/Typhoon
You allllllways want to go with Typhoon becouse you get that extra spell interrupt, its really great if you are facing warlock teams, or shaman teams, or mage teams becouse you can typhoon that poly/fear/healing surge.
~You can use your typhoon to get people into rings if you are playing with mage.
Soul of the Forest/Incarnation/FoN
This agian is really depended on your comp, lets say you are playing double DPS, you almost always want to play with Incarn for that burst damage to kill/force really big cooldowns.
If you are playing healer comps you want to play FoN for that extra bleed damage, more consistant damage, and even peels with that instant root.
Disorienting Roar/Ursols Vortex/Mighty bash
Depended on what comp are you facing agaist, if you are playing with mage, you almost always want to play with Disorienting roar becouse it doesn't dr with the Deep freeze. If you are playing against MW you almost always want to play with tht disorienting roar becouse its way less cooldown then bash, and it gives you easy cyclone.
Might bash you want to use in case you need to peel your partners, and in case that your partner doesn't have STUNN cc =)
HOTW/DoC/NV
Playing double DPS you almost have to play with HOTW for that extra offhealing.
Playing healer comps you want to play with NV for that extra 12% bleed damage, combined with berserk it is really strong.
2) FERAL COMPS (2s)
DPS COMPS: Jungle(MM/BM-feral), FM(FERAL-MAGE[works best with frost]), FL(FERAL-WARLOCK[not too good, prefered destro lock), RET-FERAL(maybe one of the best comps for feral becouse of great surviveabilty of both classes)
HEALER COMPS: Feral-Priest[works best with disc], MW-Feral[great surviveabilty on both classes, so its next to impossible for them to train your healer]
3) CC - Crowd control
In this patch its really struggle to get cc as a feral druid, most time you get kiced, lined, out of ranged. So your cyclone is like a kickbaiter or you get your cyclones off the other cc, lets say you are playing with mage, and your mage gets a polymorph on focus target, on the end of that poly you want to cast your clone, you will either get kicked witch will give your mage a DR-ed poly, or you will get the clone, if your mage DR'ed his cc you have to go and bash/disorient your target and then cast a clone.
USE YOUR CYCLONE ON MAIN TARGETS IF EVERY CC IS DR'ED, USE THEM IF YOUR PARTNER IS GETTING TRAINED TO STOP THE OUTGOING DPS.
4) Opener
The best opener for feral druid is:
Pounce->Shred->Tiger's Fury->Free Ravage-> Rake -> Full Rip.
You have to keep your savage roar up for 100% time, it gives you huuuge damage buff.
DO NOT APPLY BLEEDS WITHOUT YOUR SAVAGE ROAR ITS WAIST OF CP AND ENERGY.
Playing double dps, for the most part you will get CCed on your opener, 90% of the time you will trinket that cc to get more aggro.

I was wondering , what are ur talents for duels ?
I dont play arenas for rating just for cap , I dont play WoW as much as I used to cuz im playing diff games atm but I still play WoW daily .
I most of the time duel or do arena for cap when im on so I was wondering what are ur talents for duels I see the highest rated feral on ladder using his arena talents ( Yseras gift , FoN and NV ) in duels , i personally like HOTW + cenarion ward And incarnation alot more but that might be because i got used to this , I tried playing with Yseras gift , FoN and NV but I die way to quickly when someone bursts me ( Warriors , Mages , Warlocks , BM hunters etc )
I really hate the 6 min cooldown of HOTW and I dont like waiting 6 mins after every duel again
Could you maybe explain how to use Yseras FoN and NV in duels ?

Yesera's gift, FoN and NV is reeeeeally hard to use, you basicly pop yoru NV in start for fat bleeds, and you keep training with your berserk, you have to be as much as possible on target, you have to force him to go defensive. That is not good dueling spec. Best dueling spec is Cen ward, incarn and NV =)

Seems like a nice guide,and I suggest you add unholy dk as a 2s partner cause the combo is just great and people get demolished in seconds.
And add some macros to the guide,atleast basic focus macros cause they are most important thing in arenas.
Cheers!
