Feral Combat is the most changed druid tree, with eight new talents. Primal Bite (formerly Mangle) sits at tier 4 behind Savage Fury. Shredding Attacks, the renamed Improved Shred, now at tier 3, lowers the cost of Shred and Lacerate and leads to Shifting Power at tier 4, which replaces Tiger's Fury (removed in build 1.60.1.70170): it turns 55% of base Mana into 40 Energy on a 16-second cooldown, and Improved Shifting Power cuts that cooldown by up to 8 seconds. Leader of the Pack moves from tier 7 to tier 5 and unlocks the new 31-point Berserk, which lets Primal Bite hit up to three targets without a cooldown and raises the crit chance of your combo point builders by 100% for 15 seconds. Natural Reaction adds dodge and rage, and Rend and Tear adds damage against bleeding targets.

Druid talent FAQ
Is Mangle a Druid talent in WoW Forever?
It was, and the talent is still there under a new name: in beta build 1.60.1.70009 Blizzard renamed Mangle to Primal Bite, because its signature debuff had already been removed. Primal Bite is a 1-rank Feral Combat talent at tier 4 that requires Savage Fury, and Berserk, the new Feral 31-point talent, removes its cooldown and lets it hit up to three targets.
What happened to Omen of Clarity?
It is baseline now. Blizzard’s deep dive gives Omen of Clarity to every druid at level 20, so it left the Balance tree, where it was a tier 3 talent in Classic. Moonkin Form still makes it trigger more often.
What are the Druid 31-point talents in Forever?
Moonkin Form stays in Balance. Feral gets Berserk and Restoration gets Wild Growth, both new. Leader of the Pack and Swiftmend, the old capstones, are now tier 5 and tier 4 talents.
Which druid talents moved between trees?
Insect Swarm moved from Restoration to Balance, where it is a tier 4 talent, and Natural Shapeshifter moved from Balance to Restoration at tier 2.
