Nice guide jace. But for some reason you had told me strength is not really a priority.. But why strenght in your priority list?

another question what about gems?

red slots – 16 agi or 8agi and 12 stam
blue slots – 24 stam or 8agi and 12 stam

is that right?

@mook

Enough that your healers can keep you alive. Just try to get at least everything listed that is easy to get and you will be in the same Naxx 25 gear the rest of had when we started most likely. By no means do you have to gear up in Naxx 10 before you can do well in 25.

Just to throw it out there, you may want to add the Titanium Frostguard Ring, JC made

That is a great point on the polar gear. I also use it on Hodir fights and when/if I need a little more stamina. I really am not sure why I forgot to put the 3 pieces on the list, I am going to add them on.

The Idol of Terror is not on the list because it is BC gear. Feral druids that have it from BC know it’s value and this list is made of items from Wrath. Going back and farming 20 badges is however a reasonable strategy once 80 is hit so I will note this as well.

I agree that the Polar gear should have been put on this list. Not as an option, but as “also carry” items. I am full Valorous (been unlucky on rolls and drops since Uld came out) and still have this gear for when the big Stam pool is needed.

Also, where is the Idol of Terror on this list? Isn’t that the idol to have for single target tanking?

Jessica,

Although hit is important as a feral kitty you do not want to focus on hit so much that you gimp your other stats. Once you start running Naxx gear with more hit will start falling and you will start to get more well rounded.

Currently the goal for feral kitties to maximize DPS is to stack armor pen while getting as close to the hit cap as possible.

Armor Pen only becomes a really good stat however once you get past a certain level and has very stringent gear requirements to make it work. Until you would have everything needed to make it worthwhile agility is #1 then Strength, hit will eventually start showing up on the better gear.
