Best bracket for feral pvpFollow

Having originally created a druid for the 20-29 bracket, I soon realized (unfortunately after i had begun the process) that this bracket was probably not the best for him as his DPS would never come close to that of a rogue, warrior, or w/e.

Now, having learned this lesson, I am wondering which bracket, be it 30's or 40's, feral druids generally find more success. While I realize his DPS will never be the best, I merely want to know which bracket would be better in terms of overall effectiveness as a feral druid.

I briefly looked at the druid spell list and quickly noticed that we get both pounce and ferocious bite in our 30's which i imagine would help significantly in pvp, while at 40 we get dire bear form, again very helpful.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I'd suggest trying them all to find what you like.

In 29, you got Cat form speed bonus so you make a pretty good FC. DPS ain't too bad but, indeed, you don't have your openers.

39 you got Travel Form so you're even a better FC. Got some openers for better DPS. I'd say this is about the best bracket for Druids, but some people prefer other brackets.

49... I dunno, never really liked that one so much as a Druid. Everyone got mounts so suddenly Travel Form gets a bit less effective. Still good, but just not as much cause people can actually catch up to you. Still fun.

Try 19 and 29 if you want. I'd definitely go 39 though, but that may differ for other people.

Oh...

And at 39, we aren't the fastest players on the field...

Ghost Wolf is 40% speed increase as well.

Just a reminder SpiritDrinker

Little mistake, the speed boost only applies to cat form (with a base of +0%), not Cat and Travel. So you can pick 30% in cat or 40% in travel. Or sprint then switch when sprint runs out :)

We are indeed the fastest however, as I believe even with talents a Shaman still has a short cast time on spirit wolf, whereas ours is instant. Also, inside a shaman must run at normal speed, whereas a druid can at least Sprint if the situation calls for it.

I'm currently doing PVP at level 39 on my Druid and it's a blast. I'm loving it. I'm not twinked, but after some cursory inspects of other Druids in the BGs, I am far better geared than them. With more PVP rewards (I only have the boots so far, the +agility +stamina +ap +run speed ones) I'll do even better. I see a great many Draenei Shamans so I'm not the fastest on the field, but I'm tied for number one. I love the versatility of the Druid. If I'm in AB and I see someone capping one of my side's bases, I can just shift to caster form and Moonfire them to stop the capping, shift to cat and demolish them. If I'm capping a base myself, I can stealth as close as possible, check and see if I have a good shot at it (stealthed enemies can ruin this plan, but often don't), and then ninja it. I've done that many times already. I'll see a pitched battle of about 10 horde vs 10 alliance at Stables and no one is guarding the flag and I'll cap it, effectively giving Horde a big advantage.

39 is my advice.
