1 This quest requires Wildheart Cowl from Scholomance and Wildheart Vest from Blackrock Spire to complete.
2 This quest requires Wildheart Bracers from Stratholme to complete. Additionally, you need 15 
Silithus Venom Sample from kill Stonelash Flayer and Rock Stalker in the southern half of Silithus as player or 15 
Winterspring Blood Sample from Frostsabers like Frostsaber Cub and Frostsaber Stalker in the northern corner of Winterspring as an Alliance player.
3 This quest requires Wildheart Boots from Lower Blackrock Spire, 
Wildheart Spaulders from Lower Blackrock Spire, and 
Wildheart Kilt from Stratholme to complete.
4 You get Glaive of Obsidian Fury by turning in Blackfury, 25 
Firelands Ember, and 2 
Lava Core at Lokhtos Darkbargainer in Blackrock Depths. Blackfury is crafted with Blacksmithing and requires materials from Molten Core.
Fire Resistance for Heat Level 2 and Heat Level 3
To raid the more difficult heat levels in Molten Core you need to hit Fire Resistance thresholds. For Heat Level 2 you need at least 96 Fire Resistance and for Heat Level 3 you need at least 226 Fire Resistance. To increase your Fire Resistance you can equip gear, utilize enchantments, use consumables, and get buffs from your Druids, 
Shamans 1, and 
Paladins 1.
Use the following sources to increase your Fire Resistance to the required threshold:
Mark of the Wild (up to 27 Fire Resistance if improved, does not stack with 
Fire Resistance Totem)- Lesser Arcanum of Resilience (Legs Enchants, Libram of Resilience. Try to avoid using Lesser Arcanum of Resilience over Wolfshead Trophy in your helm slot)
Blessed Flame Mantle of the Dawn (Argent Dawn – Exalted), 
Flame Mantle of the Dawn (Argent Dawn – Revered)
Hydraxian Coronation (Hydraxian Waterlords – Honored)
Juju Ember (Shardtooth E'ko at 61.8 38.2 in Winterspring)
Flask of Chromatic Resistance (Alchemy)
Magic Resistance Potion (does not stack with Mark of the Wild or Fire Resistance Totem)
Miniaturized Fire Extinguisher (Demon Fall Canyon)- Onyxia Tooth Pendant ( Head of Onyxia)
Cloak of the Shrouded Mists (Molten Core)
Thick Corehound Boots (Lokhtos Darkbargainer in Blackrock Depths)
Devilcore Gauntlets & 
Devilcore Leggings (Leatherworking)
Ocean's Breeze (A Hero's Reward)
Blazefury Medallion (Lord Kazzak in Blasted Lands)
Drakefire Amulet (Blackrock Spire)
Wildfire Cape (Upper Blackrock Spire)
Using Fire Resistance items often results in a DPS loss in comparison to your BiS list. After you’ve acquired new raid items recalculate your Fire Resistance and re-optimize your gear loadout.
🔥 Since the boss Garr from Molten Core can dispel magic effects, you should make sure your Druid is hitting the Fire Resistance threshold without Mark of the Wild for that specific fight. This might require you to have some off-pieces for that boss fight.
1 For most guilds, it is not recommended to rely on Shaman totems or Paladin auras to hit the minimum Fire Resistance thresholds. If the aura or totem is out of range or the player dies, you will lack Fire Resistance. Use the totems or auras as additional mitigation, but calculate your Fire Resistance without them.

Feral Druid Rotation
The rotation as a Feral Druid in WoW SoD consists of the following priority list:
- Keep
Faerie Fire (Feral) active on the boss. - Keep
Savage Roar up. - Cast
Tiger's Fury whenever it’s available and you have 40 or less energy. Cast 
Berserk immediately after, if it’s available. - Keep the debuff from
Mangle up. - Cast
Shred whenever 
Omen of Clarity procs. Use 
Swipe instead if you have 4 or more targets. - Cast
Rip with 5 combo points, if you don’t need to recast Savage Roar. - Keep
Rake up. - Cast Shred if you have 4 or less targets. Use Swipe instead if you have 4 or more targets.
The first 3 items on the list are all very important and should be maintained all the time. The exact order of priority is situational but isn’t overly important in your decision-making, since all 3 are indispensable. Only one Druid needs to cast Faerie Fire (Feral) per raid. If another player is responsible for casting Faerie Fire (Feral), you can ignore this step.
You don’t need to use 5 Combo Points to use Savage Roar. It’s ok to use fewer Compo Points. Ideally, Savage Roar runs out if the boss dies, so you didn’t use more Combo Points than necessary on your last Savage Roar. In highly optimized raid groups you will cast a 5 CP Savage Roar against the last trash mob immediately before the boss is pulled. This allows you to start the fight with Savage Roar active for 20 – 30 seconds, depending on how fast the boss will be engaged.
Feral Druid Consumables in SoD
The following list of consumables can be used by Feral Druids in endgame raids at level 60:
Catnip
Flask of Madness
Mildly Irradiated Rejuvenation Potion
Elixir of the Honey Badger
Juju Power / 
Elixir of Giants
Consecrated Sharpening Stone
Dragonbreath Chili
Smoked Desert Dumplings
Juju Might / 
Winterfall Firewater
Feral Druid Stat Priority
As a Feral Druid you want to prioritize gear with the following stats:
- Up to 9% Hit Chance against level 60 raid bosses.
- Crit Chance.
- Agility.
- Strength.
- Attack Power = Feral Attack Power.
After reaching the hit cap, more Hit Chance loses value and other stats become more impactful. Due to your finger runes, you will only need 6% hit chance from your gear to reach the hit cap in level 60 endgame raids. If you have the 2-set bonus from Molten Core, your Faerie Fire (Feral) will provide an additional 1% Hit Chance.
