Best Cyrce's Circlet Gems for Feral Druid
Cyrce's Circlet is a customizable ring that can be obtained from the
Siren Isle. There are three distinct sockets each with 4 choices
each, allowing you to build your own item to suit your needs.
In Patch 11.1, the ring stays a very strong option, only being evened out by well itemized 678 equivalent rings. That means you can safely use this for most if not all of Season 2 currently.
Recommended Gems- Singing Thunder —
Stormbringer's Runed Citrine (All Stats)
- Singing Sea —
Fathomdweller's Runed Citrine (Mastery)
- Singing Wind —
Windsinger's Runed Citrine (Highest Secondary)
Note - with the nerf to Legendary Skipper's Citrine going into
this patch removing
Roaring War-Queen's Citrine procs, this is now a much
worse option and hurts the ring's staying power. Treat it more as a strong high
stat option and keep an eye out for good Crit/Mastery drops in Season 2 at 665
item-level or above to replace it.
For more information on how to get the ring, as well as acquiring all of the different gems that you can possibly socket into it, check out our Cyrce's Circlet guide below!
Best Trinkets for Feral Druid in The War Within Season 2
Feral Druid Trinket Tier Lists
Raiding Trinket Tier List for Feral Druid
This Trinket Tier List mostly focuses on single-target throughput, as raid encounters
are mostly decided by your boss damage. Generally, Feral tends to prefer stat
trinkets and a 2-minute on-use option to pair up with Berserk's big
damage window. I would broadly recommend simpler trinkets you do not have to think
about too much unless it performs significantly better.
S-Tier
Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker — an ICD trinket, this will proc every minute on the dot, being an on-use in disguise that lines up with
Berserk.
Eye of Kezan — While it takes time to stack up, when it gets there it is unmatched in throughput, well suited for raid encounters.
House of Cards — Hold to align with
Berserk.
Signet of the Priory — Lines up with
Berserk naturally.
Mechano-Core Amplifier — Lower Ilvl, but still worth it even without the bonus effect.
A-Tier
Suspicious Energy Drink — Lower Ilvl, but still worth it even without the bonus effect.
Shadow-Binding Ritual Knife — If Season 1 delve trinkets make a return, this is still very relevant.
Azerokk's Resonating Heart
Reverb Radio
Junkmaestro's Mega Magnet
B-Tier
Quickwick Candlestick — If Season 1 delve trinkets make a return, this is a relevant on-use alternative.
Funhouse Lens — Hold to align with
Berserk
Zee's Thug Hotline
Sigil of Algari Concordance
Conductor's Wax Whistle
Mister Lock-N-Stalk
C-Tier
Turbo-Drain 5000
Garbagemancer's Last Resort
Geargrinder's Spare Keys
Grim Codex
Ravenous Honey Buzzer
D-Tier
K.U.-J.0.'s Flame Vents
Charged Stormrook Plume
Papa's Prized Putter
Blastmaster3000
Noggenfogger Ultimate Deluxe
Amorphous Relic
Mythic+ Trinket Tier List for Feral Druid
This Trinket Tier List has a more broad scope, looking for trinkets that have flexibility without extra conditions to get value out of them. This is due to Mythic+ being more fluid, and needing general-use items rather than extremely specialized options. I would broadly recommend simpler stat trinkets you do not have to think about too much unless it performs significantly better.
S-Tier
Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker — an ICD trinket, this will proc every minute on the dot, being an on-use in disguise that lines up with
Berserk.

B-Tier
Quickwick Candlestick — If Season 1 delve trinkets make a return, this is a relevant on-use alternative
Funhouse Lens — Should hold to align with
Berserk for large pulls.
Junkmaestro's Mega Magnet
Conductor's Wax Whistle
Zee's Thug Hotline
Sigil of Algari Concordance
Eye of Kezan — the buff only lingers for 20 seconds out of combat, and loses a stack every 3 seconds, making it too hard to chain stacks between pulls.

Best Crafted Items for Feral Druid
Crafted gear for Feral in The War Within has a few choices depending on what
gear you have available due to the different Embellishment choices. You should
ideally sim the optimal stats to craft for your particular character, but Critical
Strike and Mastery is most likely your best option with an
Algari Missive of the Peerless.
Best Crafting Order for Feral Druid
- For your first craft, you have two options depending on if you are in a rush
to use your
Spark of Fortunes:
- Craft an off-piece and apply
Dawnthread Lining. We recommend a low impact slot that does not conflict with Tier, such as
Rune-Branded Armbands.
- If you have two sparks, a Weapon —
Charged Halberd with
Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension. This should be paired with
Writhing Armor Banding with your next off-piece.
- Craft an off-piece and apply
Dawnthread Lining. We recommend a low impact slot that does not conflict with Tier, such as
Rune-Branded Armbands.
- Craft an off-piece and apply
- Craft another off-piece and apply
Dawnthread Lining or
Writhing Armor Banding, depending on your choice. We recommend a low impact slot such as
Rune-Branded Grasps due to the weaker gloves on offer this season, so long as it does not affect your tier set.
- After this, you are done with priority crafts and embellishments and can use sims to determine your best piece to upgrade with item level. Generally, it is a good idea to look for Rings and Necks as good options are very contested amongst other classes.
With the best weapon being Best-in-Slots, it comes down to how likely
you think it is you will be picking one up soon, as this does shift your
best crafts. The advantage of having your weapon slot locked in at a high item
level is big though, so weigh up your options. All equippable two-handed agility
weapon are equal value, including
Charged Halberd,
Charged Crusher
and
Vagabond's Careful Crutch.
The alternative in Dawnthread Lining is the best general use case that
has variable uptime depending on your health, but will usually be active during
cooldown moments. Once you acquire a 678 myth track weapon or
Best-in-Slots,
you should be pivoting your Embellishments to this.
"Simming" Yourself as a Feral Druid
Throughout this page and elsewhere in our guide, we regularly refer to the importance of simming yourself on Raidbots. This is because every character is unique, and each individual gear piece you have access to can change what is best right now for you.
While we do offer generic sim charts and recommendations for Trinkets, these are not complete replacements for simming yourself. The only way to truly optimize your character to that degree is by making use of the tools available!
If you are new to simming and Raidbots, check out our detailed guide below.
Best Gear Upgrades for Feral Druid
As you complete endgame content in The War Within, you will gather upgrade
crests such as Gilded Undermine Crest that can be used to upgrade
your items. Once you have upgraded a slot to a particular item level, any other
item in that slot can be upgraded without a Crest cost.
As Crests are a limited resource and capped early on in the season, ideally, you will want to obtain the highest item-level possible before committing any crests to upgrade it, as this will save you upgrades in the long run. If you are capable of completing higher Mythic+ dungeons, it is generally a good idea to wait until you have the slot maxed out with free upgrades first.
Below is a general slot priority you should upgrade your items in.
- Weapons
- Trinkets
- Helm/Chest/Legs
- Shoulders/Gloves/Belt/Boots
- Rings and Necks
- Cloaks and Bracers
Note that exceptions are possible, such as special items that have additional
procs attached to them like The Jastor Diamond.
The War Within Season 2 Tier Set for Feral Druid
The second Tier Set of The War Within, the Roots of Reclaiming Blight, consists of 5 items that provide unique bonuses upon equipping 2, and 4 pieces from the set:
-
Druid Feral 11.1 Class Set 2pc — Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate a Winning Streak! increasing the damage of
Ferocious Bite,
Rip and
Primal Wrath by 3%, stacking up to 10 times. Finishing moves have a 15% chance to remove all stacks, but any free
Ferocious Bite procs are exempt from this chance.
-
Druid Feral 11.1 Class Set 4pc — When you consume
Apex Predator's Craving, become a Big Winner, dealing heavy Physical damage to your target and increasing the damage of your periodic effects by 16% for 6 seconds.
The Feral set bonus is of average strength when moving away from the Season 1
bonus, with a leaning toward Wildstalker. A lot of the power comes
in the 2-piece, and it is worth making the switch to a 2-pc/2-pc combo once you
have some new pieces. You should aim to complete the full set as early as
possible, and you can use the Matrix Catalyst to convert regular items
(from Mythic+ or Raid) into Tier Items.
You only need 4 pieces to maximize the set bonus, so we recommend dropping the Gloves or Helm for alternatives with more Critical Strike or Mastery if possible. Check the BiS List for more information.
