Last updated on Nov 17, 2024 at 18:00 by Seksixeny 24 comments

On this page, we list the best enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Feral Druid Tank in WoW Classic for PvE content.

If you were looking for TBC Classic content, please refer to our TBC Classic Feral Tank Druid gems and enchants.

1.

Foreword

One of the biggest differences between Classic and other iterations of WoW is the widespread usage of consumables. There are few limits to how many consumables you can use, and consumables can be incredibly powerful. Consumables can be extremely useful in all aspects of the game and can be the difference in PvP, as well as raiding. Below is a list of all the possible consumables that you would be able to get and make use of as a Feral Druid.

One thing we cannot stress enough is that you do not *need* all of the possible consumables to play the game. While some of them are very powerful and highly recommended, you can use as many or as few as you want. All of the raids are possible without using every available consumable, although some guilds will choose to make use of lots of consumables to make the content easier. Similarly, you can PvP without consumables, but you may be at a disadvantage over other players who choose to make use of them.

WoW Classic Phases

The 6 phases WoW Classic cycles through are the following:

  1. Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair
  2. Honor System, World Bosses, Warsong Gulch, and Alterac Valley Battlegrounds
  3. Blackwing Lair and Darkmoon Faire
  4. Zul'Gurub, Arathi Battleground, and Nightmare Dragons
  5. AQ40 and updated Rank 14 rewards
  6. Naxxramas and Scourge Invasions

As not all enchants and consumables are available in every phase, we have a few tabs below for you to pick which phase you want to consult, with more tabs coming as we reach the next phases. Naxxramas phase is there from the start because it is the state of Classic Era servers.

World Buffs

World buffs are buffs that you will not be able to get on your own. Generally, these are buffs you will go and get with your guild if you want to stack all possible buffs for a raid. Generally, these require some sort of raid-related activity to obtain.

Best Raid Consumables for Feral Druid Tanks

While this guide lists all of the potentially useful consumables that you could ever make use of, you most likely will not need more of them. This is the shorter list for what are considered the most important consumables to have while raiding. Most of these consumables are either buffs that will increase your damage or Mana potions/items that will give you bursts of Mana, allowing you to power shift more during a fight.

It is also critical to remember that Feral Tanks cannot use most consumables while in Dire Bear Form Icon Dire Bear Form! To use consumables, you will need to switch out of Bear Form, which means it is only possible while another tank is tanking the enemies. This means your ability to use consumables is severely limited, and you can only use them at times when you are not in much danger anyways.

  • Free Action Potion Icon Free Action Potion makes you immune to stun and movement impairing effects for 30 seconds, but does not remove effects already on you. It is crafted through Alchemy.
  • Restorative Potion Icon Restorative Potion removes 1 magic, curse, poison, or disease effect from you every 5 seconds for 30 seconds. It is crafted through Alchemy.
  • Greater Stoneshield Potion Icon Greater Stoneshield Potion increases your armor by 2000 for 2 minutes, on a 2-minute cooldown. It is crafted through Alchemy.
  • Iron Counterweight Icon Iron Counterweight makes you attack 3% faster with your melee hits. This is crafted through Blacksmithing.
  • Juju Escape Icon Juju Escape increases your dodge chance by 5%. It is a quest reward given by Witch Doctor Mau'ari in Everlook, Winterspring.
  • Juju Power Icon Juju Power increases your Strength by 30. This is a quest reward given by Witch Doctor Mau'ari in Everlook, Winterspring.
  • Elixir of Fortitude Icon Elixir of Fortitude increases your max health by 120. It is crafted through Alchemy.
  • Smoked Desert Dumplings Icon Smoked Desert Dumplings increases your Strength by 20. It is crafted through Cooking.
  • Gift of Arthas Icon Gift of Arthas increases your shadow resistance by 10, but more importantly places a debuff on your attackers that increases their physical damage taken slightly. It is crafted through Alchemy.
  • Elixir of the Mongoose Icon Elixir of the Mongoose increases your Agility by 25 and your Critical Strike Chance by 2%. It is crafted through Alchemy.
  • Flask of the Titans Icon Flask of the Titans increases your max health by 1200. It is crafted through Alchemy. This one specifically can be quite expensive, but it is very powerful and well worth it if you can spare the gold.
  • Manual Crowd Pummeler Icon Manual Crowd Pummeler increases your melee attack speed by 50% for 30 seconds. This will be your BiS weapon for all of WoW Classic, but only has 3 charges of the on-use on each weapon, meaning you will want to farm these for raids.

This list includes your most important defensive buffs with the option of some of the betters and more efficient offensive buffs for threat generation. You can always choose to change these out for more offensive suited buffs, such as adding the other jujus in, if you feel like you want to do more damage or need the extra threat generation.

It is also important to realize that the first raid is Molten Core, where the most common type of damage you will take is Fire damage. Some of the harder bosses, such as Ragnaros, can deal lots of Fire damage, and you might want to consider having these defensive Fire Resistance consumables, just in case you need them.

All On-Use Consumables for Feral Druids

7.1.

Health and Mana

Potions all share a cooldown. You cannot use multiple potions at the same time, and when you use a potion, it will start its cooldown for all potions. That being said, it is still useful to have multiple potions in your bags for different situations. Being in combat does not affect your potion cooldown or availability.

7.2.

Damage

Engineering bombs share cooldowns as well, so you do not need many different ones.

  • Oil of Immolation Icon Oil of Immolation deals pulsing AoE Fire damage for 15 seconds. It is crafted through Alchemy.
  • Stratholme Holy Water Icon Stratholme Holy Water deals damage to Undead enemies around the targeted area when thrown. It drops from Stratholme.
  • Goblin Land Mine Icon Goblin Land Mine places a mine that deals Fire damage when triggered and is crafted through Engineering.
  • Goblin Sapper Charge Icon Goblin Sapper Charge instantly creates an explosion that deals AoE Fire damage to enemies around you. It is crafted through Engineering.
  • Crystal Charge Icon Crystal Charge deals Fire damage to enemies within 3 yards of the targeted area when thrown. It is a quest reward from Un'Goro Crater. This shares a cooldown with Engineering bombs, so is useful only if you are not an Engineer.
  • Dense Dynamite Icon Dense Dynamite deals Fire damage at a target location after a short cast. It is crafted through Engineering.
  • Thorium Grenade Icon Thorium Grenade deals Fire damage at a target location after a short cast and incapacitates enemies hit for 3 seconds. It is crafted through Engineering.
