PRE-RAID BIS · WOW FOREVER · DRUID

Feral Cat Druid: pre-raid BiS for WoW Forever

Provisional – based on Classic Era values; Forever talents and item stats may differ.

For every slot: our best item and up to two alternatives for Druid (Feral: Cat) before the first raid in WoW Forever – from dungeons, quests, professions and reputation. The raids open on December 9, 2026; their loot has not been published yet.

GuildLoot’s own recommendation based on the item stats in our loot database (CMaNGOS, Classic Era) and general stat priorities of the class – not copied from another list. Only items that are in our Forever item data and can be obtained before the first raid count: dungeons, quests, professions and reputation. Sources and stats come from Classic Era. Blizzard reworked all dungeon drops for Forever, talents and racial bonuses have changed, and the stats of new loot stay hidden until the first drop. Effects such as “Use” or “Chance on hit” are not part of the numbers; such entries are marked with ≈.
