Swipe is mainly a tool to keep aggro on multiple mobs. It deals damage to all enemies in range.

Talent improvement

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 Ability druid maul [Maul] against multiple targets, especially acknowledging the fact that Maul prevents you from generating Rage on your next swing.

Patch changes

  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.3.0 (2009-12-08): renamed Swipe to Swipe (Bear) to separate it from Swipe (Cat), range increased to 8 yards.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): The Ability racial bearform [Bear Form] and Ability racial bearform [Dire Bear Form] version of this ability no longer has a targeting requirement and hits targets behind the druid and to the sides.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Ability ambush [Feral Instinct] no longer increases threat generated in Bear form, but now increases damage done by your Swipe ability by 5/10/15%.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small 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.
  • Bc icon Patch 2.0.10 (2007-03-06): No longer affected by Ability druid ravage [Savage Fury].
  • WoW Icon update Patch 1.8.0 (2005-10-10): Self cooldown removed.
