While he's in bear just wait and renew SnD, make sure you will have
a) 5p for KS to the moment he will have to shift out
b) decent energy
c) crippling up

Also great deal is to open on druid if that's possible while he's in cat, first stunlock should take good chunk of his hp and he will have to retreat, for double dps teams (like rog/mage) stay in stealth while your partner having fun with opponent's dps, then druid will be forced to go castform and you're free to open

Key word here being "good". Against Joe Average rogue in AV, if I go bear I never have to shift out. I mitigate 75% of their physical damage, I'm hard to crit, and I've got 16k HP self buffed. And that's in PvE epics. I also love stacking Lacerate on Rogues...it just makes me happy.


Well, yeah, but because of how ludicrously elitist we are Joe Average is actually pretty bad by comparison.

in 2v2 situation you will rarely meet feral and even if you did you shouldn't be pressing on him lol

A few tips on Druids who are hard to take down:

Avoid using Eviscerate, Cheap Shot, and Kidney Shot while they are in Bearform.

Try to save Cloak for an oh **** moment where you might die, or the druid is about to die(use to resist that critical cyclone, natures grasp etc) it is tempting to use it on a roots, but keep in mind you might need it for other reasons such as to clear a fairy fire, to vanish, just be careful on being trigger happy on cooldowns.

Trinket timing, try to keep track on when they use their trinket. If you Blind them and they trinket it, remember that when blind is back up in 90 seconds, they have no way to get out of it, allowing you to bandage, vanish etc.

Use KS to restealth if needed.

Personally I have a much harder time taking down a geared/skilled Resto Sham then a Druid, not saying Druids are easy though by any means.

Assuming equally skilled/geared. Feral has advantage. Whoever said that the Ferals dps in bear sucks, never played a druid, we do quite respectable dps in bear. I've fought many rogues/wars on my feral and I have yet to lose given, level conditions, in most cases I don't even need to shift out to heal.

I find that pve gear mix works even better than full pvp. When I mangle and maul you for 1k plus crits at nearly 50% crit unbuffed, keeping feral fire and lacerate on you plus the ap debuff, feral charge. No matter how skillful you are, you will lose. Unless I do something really stupid.

Yeah, resto shamans are tough, especially if Draenei or Tauren (either way they get a "free" heal) - none of what you do is hard, unless you don't have throw weapon bound, but unless they **** up majorly they'll win anyway, even if not a single fake works. The only good news is that you can swap out pvp trinket for another damage trinket.

With my druid, I have been jumped by many a rogue and unless my health is down from just fighting a mob or they can stun me in caster form, I generally don't have too many issues with them. With Instant cast cure poison that lingers, your poisons don't do much, now with Rogues not being able to shadow step out of roots, roots working indoors, natures grasp hitting 100% (and for me warstomp) it is easy enough to get a little distance if the need to heal comes. I was feral, just switched to moonkin. These experiences are typical of a world PvP battle, 1v1. Given that in BGs I find myself out geared so some stuns and such are not there, it may just be the ones jumping me in the world are n00b leveled rogues and trying to prove something, but it has been my experience.

@ OP - If you are fighting a feral that doesn't even get out of bear, you are either under geared or need to do more control of the fight. My Rogue is only in mind 30s, so my attacking as a rogue PvP experience is limited, but coming from experience in BGs where a rogue may keep me stunned in caster for a majority of the fight, while they dps me from behind before I can't really get off a heal and shift. If you can lay some poisons on them to get them out of bear form and have them stunned to beat a little on them so they need to get a heal off, then you may be able to get them into caster, stun and tear into them.

Just my $0.02
