Feral Druid 5.0/Mists of Pandaria Gear List
Here’s your feral gearing list for Mists! Some quick notes:
- PvP gear doesn’t suck! I haven’t listed PvP gear here, but the low-level stuff is very comparable to equivalent item-level PvE gear, since you no longer lose a secondary stat on most items. Crafted Contender’s gear is great for starting 5-man heroics; Dreadful gear is perfectly acceptable as a 5-man heroic drop replacement. (Malevolent gear isn’t as comparably good, since you start losing socket bonuses/set bonuses.)
- Your basic leveling/gearing strat will be to quest through Kun-Lai at 87 (to unlock Vale/Golden Lotus and gain Shado-Pan rep), then Townlong Steppes at 88 (more Shado-Pan), then Dread Wastes at 89 (Klaxxi). Once you ding 90, run dailies in the Vale of Eternal Blessings for Golden Lotus rep: once you get GL to revered, daily hubs will open for the other factions. You shouldn’t need dailies to get to honored (except August Celestials) but anything past that will take some daily quest grinding.
- Justice Points are used for buying honored rep gear, Valor Points are used for buying revered rep gear. Don’t stress too much about Valor Points, as you’ll have to do a lot of daily grinding before you can use them anyway. (If you heard about VP’s being used to upgrade gear, that mechanic’s been pushed to 5.1.)
- If you are in well-gemmed/enchanted raid gear, I wouldn’t start trying to replace gear until level 88, and don’t break your set bonus until 90. The free OOC proc when you use TF is great for leveling.
- In general, mastery >> crit > hit/exp = haste. If you choose to hit/exp cap (7.5% for each), you’ll take a small theoretical DPS loss, but you’ll likely make up for it with a cleaner rotation. I expect bleed damage to get reduced a bit though, so mastery will likely fall back some.
- Expect crafted gear to be very expensive because of the Spirit of Harmony requirement, which isn’t tradable.
- Neither set bonus is very good. The 2pc set bonus is worth about 0.5% DPS. The 4pc set bonus is worth about 0.75% DPS. That said, I wouldn’t break them unless you’re upgrading at least two pieces a full tier, or at least three pieces a half-tier.
- Off-sets: The head, shoulder, and chest slot off-sets are a half-tier lower than the tier gear, so don’t prioritize those. LFR/Normal-mode raiders will likely prefer to go offset gloves, since the Murderer’s Gloves (crafted) are much better itemized than tier gloves. Progression raiders will likely prefer to go offset legs, since the “elite” off-set legs are better itemized and a half-tier higher than the tier legs.
- I’ve cut this list off roughly around 440/450; a full set of 437 gear can be obtained in Dread Wastes to fill missing spots.
Last but not least, a list of item levels for Mists of Pandaria/5.0:
- 516: Terrace Heroic Elite
- 509: HoF/Terrace Heroic
- 503: Terrace Normal Elite
- 502: Mogu’shan Heroic
- 496: HoF/Terrace Normal, epic leatherworking chests/gloves
- 490: Malevolent PvP weapons (tier 2)
- 489: Revered rep gear, Mogu’shan Normal
- 483: HoF/Terrace LFR, Malevolent PvP armor
- 476: Mogu’shan LFR, lesser epic leatherworking chests/gloves, inscription weapons/offhands, engineering goggles
- 470: Holiday bosses, Malevolent PvP weapons (tier 1)
- 464: Dreadful PvP armor
- 463: Heroic 5-man drops, scenario rewards (randomized, I believe?), blacksmithing weapons
- 457: Dreadful PvP weapons
- 450: Honored rep gear, blue quest rewards, Contender’s PvP armor
- 440: 5-man dungeon quest rewards
- 372-440ish: Quest rewards/normal 5-man drops

2H Weapon
As always, weapon DPS remains a feral’s best friend, so go for the best you can find. The archaeology spear is actually the best pre-raid weapon you can get, if you want to take the time to go dig it up.

Head
The Crown isn’t overly appealing, as it has no mastery. Don’t switch it in even if it’s a half-tier higher. I need to look closer at the engineering helm, but I suspect with the cogwheels that it’s closer to a 483 piece.

Neck
Yes, that’s two items and one in-game NPC named for Astrylian now. He’s now officially a lore figure. No clue on the Hellrider’s Choker, and the Pheromone Choker may be gone as well, since there aren’t any Heroic/LFR versions so far.

Shoulders
Same deal with the Shadow Heart Spaulders; maybe they exist, maybe they don’t. The Netherrealm piece is decent for an off-set, but still not worth a switch from tier.

Chest
While I still don’t recommend this off-set chest, the tier chest lacks an agility socket bonus so it’s the least-bad choice if you can’t get off-set legs or hands. Both levels of crafted chest are also very solid choices.

Wrist
The Bracers of Violent Meditation may or may not still exist. Dunno about the Smooth Beetle Wristbands, calling it a random boss drop for the moment.

This is probably your best off-set option for getting started. Make friends with a leatherworker.

Waist
Pretty boring choices; Cannoneer’s is better than Stalker’s in terms of itemization, but may be hard to get since (I’m presuming) it comes from a world boss.

Legs
I’m not certain how difficult the Elite mechanic will be in the Protectors encounter, but assuming your raid can handle it, those Legguards are the obvious best off-set choice.
| Name | ILvl | Source | Difficulty |

Feet
It would not surprise me to see another drop added here from Mogu’shan. The Treads of Deadly Secretions are slightly better than the Boots of the Still Breath, but they have a much less cool name.

Finger
Regail’s is an obvious choice, though I doubt there’s five different versions. If a Heroic/Elite version exists, get it (even though it’s not terribly well itemized). If not, your preference will be for Feng’s and the Thorned Ring.
| Name | ILvl | Source | Difficulty |

Trinket
Trinkets are hard. I need to do some better analysis, but here’s a quick Simcraft run with the T14N profile and a single trinket equipped. overall, you want the best Bottle you can get, and then 1) Heroic Terror 2) Crafted Relic 3) Normal Terror 4) LFR Terror/blue trinket. Yes, Jade Bandit Figurine/Hawkmasters really is that bad. (SimC may not be modeling all of the 5-man trinkets correctly.) Under the list is a ranking which I borrowed mostly verbatim from Antony at Eao’s Excursions.

Gear Sets
I’ve already written over 3000 words, so I’m going to cut a few corners and just use the gear sets aggixx already put together in Simulationcraft. These might not be 100% optimized in terms of reforging/gemming/optimizing, but they’re pretty close.

[...] up the 5.0/Mists of Pandaria gearing list for ferals! I’ve included an excerpt below: hit this link for the full [...]
I’m not that much of a theorycrafter but practicing in raid or even dummies i find the combination of relic of xuen and searing words more effective, at least these are the trinkets that i have now equipped on my char :) about windswept pages trinket it seems good that agility is passive but i found out that in combination with the other two trinkets mentioned above, windswept falls behind. i might be a noob by saying that but it’s just my personal experience :)
I don’t get this: “mastery >> crit > hit/exp = haste”, so should we be looking to get mastery gear or haste?
Since haste is the last in that priority you should reforge haste into mastery or expertise/hit for soft cap. Haste is the worst stat for us
