Level 60 Feral Combat Druid PvP build
“Feral NS duelist” — Player vs player.
A feral-control PvP hybrid that wins by opening from stealth, sticking with Feral Charge/Bash, bursting with cat finishers, and resetting fights with Swiftmend plus Nature’s Swiftness healing.
Solid. A few specific changes below would lift it further.

Why it works
This is a 30 Feral / 21 Restoration PvP build: deep enough for Mangle, Leader of the Pack, Feral Charge, Brutal Impact, Feral Swiftness and strong cat/bear crit scaling, while still reaching Swiftmend and Nature’s Swiftness. Furor and Natural Shapeshifter make form-swapping practical, which is the core druid PvP advantage.
The gear is aimed near the PvP toughness knee rather than pure damage. The supplied curve shows balance 50 as the efficient point: about 2860 HP from gear, 5% hit, 5% crit and only 14% throughput lost from the glass-cannon set; going to 60 buys roughly 390 more HP but pushes the loss to 24%, so kills start slipping away. This set keeps player hit covered through Mark of C’Thun, Qiraji Execution Bracers, Belt of Never-ending Agony, Drake Fang Talisman and Royal Scepter, then stacks stamina, armor, agility, AP and on-use burst. Slayer’s Crest is your kill-window trinket; Idol of Swiftness supports the reset plan by making Swiftmend more available.
Open from Prowl with Pounce, immediately Faerie Fire stealth classes, and use Feral Charge or Bash to stop casts and create Shred angles. Spend at 5 combo points on Rip unless the target is under 20%, then Ferocious Bite. When focused, shift defensively: Barkskin or Survival Instincts, keep Rejuvenation/Regrowth available for Swiftmend, and use Nature’s Swiftness into Healing Touch as the emergency full reset.
