Talent improvement
- Ferocity, in Feral Combat, reduces Rage cost by 1/2/3/4/5.
- [Naturalist], in Restoration, increases damage by 2/4/6/8/10%.
[Feral Instinct], in Feral Combat, increases damage by 10/20/30%.
Tips and tactics
- This is a good Ability to use to keep Aggro on more than one target. Putting talent points into Ferocity makes this ability very viable for tanking.
- The feral talent Primal Fury gives you 5 Rage on a crit in bear form. If you crit on many of the targets from a swipe, you'll get a lot of Rage in return.
- Damage-wise, this ability is generally more effective than [Maul] against multiple targets, especially acknowledging the fact that Maul prevents you from generating Rage on your next swing.
Patch changes
- Patch 3.3.0 (2009-12-08): renamed Swipe to Swipe (Bear) to separate it from Swipe (Cat), range increased to 8 yards.
- Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): The [Bear Form] and [Dire Bear Form] version of this ability no longer has a targeting requirement and hits targets behind the druid and to the sides.
- Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): [Feral Instinct] no longer increases threat generated in Bear form, but now increases damage done by your Swipe ability by 5/10/15%.
- Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Now affects targets within a range.
- Previously, threat generation was 1.75x damage done. Now the threat multiplier has been removed. However, the increased damage compensates the lost of threat, especially in AoE tanking scenarios.
