Level 60 Feral Combat Druid raid DPS build
“Berserk Ripper” — Damage in dungeons and raids.
A raid-focused feral cat build that reaches the boss hit cap, stacks strength/agility/crit, and uses Berserk, Tiger’s Fury, bleeds, Shred and Rip for steady melee damage.
Excellent. This is close to the best this item pool and tree allow for the goal.

Why it works
This is a 41/0/10-style feral damage setup: deep Feral takes every major cat multiplier—Ferocity, Savage Fury, Sharpened Claws, Shredding Attacks, Mangle, Predatory Strikes, Primal Fury, Predatory Instincts, Leader of the Pack, King of the Jungle, Rend and Tear and Berserk. The Restoration splash gives Furor for smoother shifting and Naturalist for a flat 5% damage increase.
The gear is built around exactly 90 hit rating, matching the practical 9% raid-boss special hit cap: Prestor’s Talisman, Qiraji Execution Bracers, Gloves of Enforcement, Belt of Never-ending Agony, Band of Unnatural Forces, Signet Ring of the Bronze Dragonflight, Drake Fang Talisman and Royal Scepter of Vek’lor supply the hit. The remaining slots maximize cat stats: Mantle of Wicked Revenge, Cloak of the Fallen God, Timbermaw Tunic, General’s Dragonhide Leggings and Wormhide Boots bring heavy strength/agility, while Slayer’s Crest is the best second trinket for burst windows. Mace of Unending Life is chosen over two-handers because its +140 Attack Power plus the off-hand stats are stronger for form damage.
Play in Cat Form. Keep Faerie Fire up if nobody else is applying armor reduction. Open from Prowl with Ravage when possible, use Berserk and Tiger’s Fury aggressively, keep a bleed up with Rake so Rend and Tear is active, then spend 5 combo points on Rip. Use Ferocious Bite mainly under 20% or when Rip is secure, and fill with Mangle/Shred; Claw is only the fallback when you cannot Shred from behind.
