Feral's Lacerate becomes a talent, Bear Form's threat jumps

Lacerate is no longer learned by every Druid: it’s now a 1-point Feral talent on row 4, replacing Primal Bite, with two new ranks added so it can be learned earlier. Primal Bite moves to row 7 instead, replacing Berserk (now removed), with its number of ranks cut to 3. A new talent, Predatory Discipline, takes Shifting Power’s old row-4 slot: it stops Ferocious Bite from converting excess Energy into bonus damage, but the ability still deals extra damage from that excess Energy on its own. Shifting Power moves to row 7 alongside Primal Bite, giving Feral two different 31-point talents, one built around Bear gameplay and one around Cat.

Bear Form and Dire Bear Form’s threat bonus rises to 115% (was 50%), to make up for Blessing of Salvation being removed. Cat Form abilities hit harder across the board: Shred’s weapon damage rises to 200% (was 155%), Claw to 140% (was 110%) and Ravage to 435% (was 350%), while Rip, Rake, Ferocious Bite and Pounce each gain roughly 25% more base damage and attack power scaling.

Restoration also shuffles: Furor swaps trees with Heart of the Wild, Swiftmend now only works on the casting Druid’s own Rejuvenation or Regrowth, and Wild Growth now has a 3-second base cast time.

Why it matters: if you were planning a Feral build, Lacerate now needs a talent point, and both Primal Bite and Shifting Power got reshuffled.
