Feral DPS Druid (PVP)
Cat Form melee DPS with strong bleed pressure and high skill expression.
Aldor vs Scryer
When you first reach Shattrath City at level 60 or higher, you are given a choice between two factions: The Aldor and the Scryers. This decision affects which rewards you can purchase, which quest lines you can pursue, and which faction strongholds you can access in Shadowmoon Valley. While it is possible to switch later, it is best to avoid making a haphazard choice. For Feral Druids in PvP, the choice between Aldor and Scryer has almost no measurable impact on performance. Nearly all faction rewards are PvE-oriented, leaving shoulder enchants as the only relevant long-term difference.
Before you choose
Here are the only things you need to know before picking a side.
Faction gear does not matter in PvP
Weapons, trinkets, and armor from Aldor or Scryer are PvE-focused and do not meaningfully impact Feral PvP.
Enchant difference is tiny
The difference between Aldor and Scryer shoulder enchants is extremely small and will not decide PvP outcomes.
Consistency over RNG
PvP favors predictable damage and pressure rather than relying on random critical strikes.
Execution matters more
Positioning, timing, crowd control, and energy management matter far more than faction choice.
