Feral Druid Midnight Gearing Guide

Midnight Season 1 Tier Set Bonuses:

• (2) Set Bonus: Gaining Clearcasting from Omen Of Clarity increases your chance to critically strike by 5% for 4 sec.
• (4) Set Bonus: Rake damage increased by 20%. Clearcasting increases Shred or Swipe damage by an additional 15%.

Tier Set Discussion:

Overall, the set is quite passive in terms of gameplay. For talents, it does incentivize taking Moment of Clarity to gain additional Clearcasting procs in order to gain more from the set.

You should still prioritise the gear you use by running a sim for your character, but the lists below will give you a good idea of what items are considered good for Feral Druid, and help you target the right content for each piece of loot.

• Overall
• Raiding
• Mythic+

As Feral, you always want to have 1 on-use stat trinket to use with your cooldowns.

Algeth'ar Puzzle Box can be farmed from dungeons and is generally the best on-use you can grab. It does have a small cast time but it's well worth it for the buff provided. While there are other viable on-use trinkets, I would only recommend considering them if you get them at a higher item level than your Puzzle Box (though you should sim your character on raidbots to be sure).

As for your secondary trinket, or your ‘stat stick,’ if you raid, then Gaze Of The Alnseer is the clear pick.

From M+, your best stat stick should be Umbral Plume - but of course, item level will play a role in which trinket is best.

First Crafts

For your first craft, you could wait until you clear some of the raid content, and if you don’t loot a weapon, you can craft one. This is commonly a good strategy as the item level from a weapon is most valuable and not everyone will loot one. Blood Knight's Impetus with Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt is a good choice.

Otherwise, Arcanoweave Lining is a good choice to craft with any slot that doesn’t clash with tier; you should pick whatever item slot is the biggest item level upgrade for you at the time. You can recraft later into the patch as you obtain more gear. Always focus on short-term gains to help you through content early in the season, especially if raiding.

BIS Crafts

Once you have a bunch of gem sockets (likely later into the tier), you should consider crafting Masterwork Sin'dorei Band with Prismatic Focusing Iris as your first, and Silvermoon Agent's Deflectors with Stabilizing Gemstone Bandolier as your second.
