Feral druid is in the bottom 5 specs across 6 of the 9 fights, with only beast mastery earning that distinction more often. Feral druid and fire mage are the only specs that take the bottom for multiple bosses. Weapon damage is a particularly strong DPS stat for Feral Druids due to their fast 1.0 second attack speed. When gearing on a budget, Helm of the Claw is especially attractive as it is easily acquired from a single Steamvault run.
Armor for Feral Druid Tank in Pre-Raid Head Cobrascale Hood and Helm of the Claw are the best initial mit skewed and threat skewed helm options, respectively, for feral tanks prior to entering raids and heroics.
