Feral Druid Torghast Guide and Best Anima Powers — Dragonflight 10.2.5

Here we will be looking at Torghast, Tower of the Damned when playing as a Feral Druid. For more information about how Torghast itself works, you can look at our Torghast write up here.

It is generally recommended to use the normal AoE/Dungeon talents in Torghast:

You can easily import the talent tree below into the game with the following string:

• BcGAGX1kx6Mci9Zl2t+S+sRoPCAAAAAAQkU0iIJJRSRDQkcgkAAAAAAgiAgAAJSSSQi0SAAAAAAAASA

As you climb higher through Torghast, you will be offered a variety of different Anima Powers. There is a mix of unique benefits and others that can be stacked up for extra gains, and making a quick decision can sometimes be difficult. Because of this we have made a simple Tier List to rank some of the strong powers if you are in a rush to make a decision. If you want to read about all available Anima Powers, please use the links below.

Remember though, do not follow the list blindly, there is a lot of different playstyles to explore within Torghast and trying things out is part of the enjoyment. None of the powers are necessary to complete a run, and picking a power that improves something you rarely use will ultimately be useless. After all, you might not run into the power that you are looking for each run!

If an Anima Power is not in the Tier List above, it is either because we have been unable to test due to being unavailable as a pick, or information about its tuning is not complete. It will be added to the list as we find out more.

Occasionally, you will be offered the ability to get Phantasma instead of an Anima Power, or increases to your Phantasma generation. Judging these is more difficult because it depends on how much of each floor you are clearing. Grabbing these early on is usually a good idea so you can make use of vendors, while the later the run goes the less valuable these are.

Like all Druids, Feral has a suite of abilities available to it allowing it to shift between survival and offense depending on the situation, and many Anima powers lean into this playstyle. Making use of all of this is important to make it through higher floors, and some important things to remember are:

• Make sure to use your Predatory Swiftness procs to heal yourself frequently, staying stable with frequent Regrowth casts is important when pulling dangerous packs.
• Due to the low cooldown, make sure to Barkskin early and often to reduce as much as possible when pulling packs before you get into a dangerous spot.
• Shifting to Bear Form to deal with very dangerous packs is something that can help with some abilities, especially when some Anima Powers that encourage shapeshifting are considered.
• Entangling Roots casts on melee enemies and elites that are a problem in larger pulls is very useful to keep them at bay while you clear out the easier enemies quickly.
