Level 60 Feral Combat Druid raid DPS build
“Omen cat” — Damage in dungeons and raids.
A raid-focused feral cat damage build that reaches the 9% melee hit target, stacks crit/AP, and uses Omen plus Furor powershifting to keep Shred pressure high.
Excellent. This is close to the best this item pool and tree allow for the goal.

Why it works
This is the classic 14/32/5 feral damage shell: Natural Weapons and Omen of Clarity add free attacks, Natural Shapeshifter plus 5/5 Furor enables efficient powershifting, and the feral tree picks every major cat multiplier: Ferocity, Sharpened Claws, Improved Shred, Predatory Strikes, Blood Frenzy, Savage Fury, Heart of the Wild, and Leader of the Pack.
The gear is built to land specials reliably on raid bosses: Prestor's Talisman, Qiraji Execution Bracers, Gloves of Enforcement, Belt of Never-ending Agony, Boots of the Shadow Flame, Band of Unnatural Forces, and Drake Fang Talisman provide exactly 9% hit. After that, the set leans into high-value crit/AP pieces like Lizardscale Eyepatch, Mantle of Wicked Revenge, Ghoul Skin Tunic, Leggings of Apocalypse, Band of Reanimation, and Slayer's Crest. The End of Dreams is the key weapon because its large attack power applies to your form damage; Tome of Knowledge is the best physical off-hand stat stick here.
Play from behind the boss. Keep Omen of Clarity up before combat, enter Cat Form, open from Prowl with Ravage when practical, then maintain Faerie Fire (Feral). Build with Shred; use Claw only when you cannot safely attack from behind. Spend at 5 combo points on Rip if the target will live long enough for it to tick, otherwise Ferocious Bite. When energy is low and your mana allows it, powershift out and back into Cat Form to trigger Furor’s 40 energy and keep the Shred cycle moving.
