	Increases the target's Mana regeneration by 400% and allows 100% of the target's Mana regeneration to continue while casting. Lasts 20 seconds. Dispellable by priests and mobs that dispel magic buffs. Also purgeable by Shamans, I think. Cooldown 6 minutes. You can cast it on yourself or on another character (some have been known to cast it on rogues and main tanks). This can give you 3000 mana with modest equipment at level 60.

 Levels 36-40+: well, how do you like animal forms? If you want to continue developing feral talents, round up Predatory Strikes, drop   one or two points into Savage Fury, and move to Heart of the Wild, and then to the ultimate Feral talent: Leader of the Pack. Improved Enrage in Restoration tree would be 2 points well spent after Feral tree is complete. Nature's Grasp and Improved Nature's Grasp will give you another escape skill and provide the necessary 5 Balance points to get Natural Shapeshifter talent.

-This was a very common talent template before Druid talents were overhauled in patch 1.7.0. The primary goals of the build were Nature's Reach in Balance, Feral Charge in Feral and Innervate in Restoration tree. After the patch, it's no longer possible to get all three of these skills, so the users of this template had to choose either 12+/x/31+ or x/11+/31+ template.

 I'm preserving the description of this build as is, mostly for historical value, though some talents do remain the same.

-As of WoW patch 1.6.0, this is a common template, very popular in particular on PvP realms.
+This not, strictly speaking, a talent template at all, but rather a tiny guide for the initial order of talents you may want to choose for fast levelling through levels ten to forty or so. Balance spec may be a viable levelling alternative, but I think feral gives you more options and IMO is simply more fun than repeatedly casting Moonfire and Starfire for 30 levels.

 ''Nature's Swiftness'' - 1/1 point
-When activated, your next Nature spell becomes an instant cast spell. This is your "Oh CRAP!!!" button, normally used in conjunction with Healing Touch or Regrowth to give you "instant" large heal, which you can also cast on the run if needed. 3 min cooldown.

This is your "Oh CRAP!!!" button, normally used in conjunction with Healing Touch or Regrowth to give you "instant" large heal, which you can also cast on the run if needed. You can also use it offensively with Entangling Roots and (very unlikely) Wrath. Note that there's NO global cooldown after you activate Nature Swiftness, even though it may feel like there's one in heavy lag. The ability itself is on 3 min cooldown.
 ''Innervate'' - 1/1 point
 Increases the target's Mana regeneration by 400% and allows 100% of the target's Mana regeneration to continue while casting. Lasts 20 seconds.

 ''Furor'' - 5/5 points
-Gives you a 100% chance to gain 10 Rage when you shapeshift into Bear and Dire Bear form. This is huge. In fact, I suggest you put your first 5 talent points here. This allows you to shift-bash and later shift-charge to interrupt healer mobs. I'm sure that you will discover other important tactics that will crucially depend on this talent.

 ''Nature's Grasp'' - 1/1 point
 While active, any time an enemy strikes the caster, they have a 35% chance to become afflicted by Entangling Roots.
 ''Improved Nature's Grasp'' - 4/4 points
 Increases the chance for your Nature's Grasp to entangle an enemy by 65%.
 ''Nature's Reach'' - 2/2 points
 Increases the range of your Wrath, Entangling Roots, Faerie Fire (caster form only), Moonfire, and Starfire spells by 20%. This is a great talent. After you spec to it once, you will find it very hard to consider any build that doesn't include this.
 ''Swiftshifting'' - 2/3 points
 After leaving a shapeshift form, reduces the casting cost of the next shapeshift by 40% if used with 6 seconds. Leftover two points go here. Depending on how often you shift, you may want these points elsewhere.
@@ Line 23: / Line 27: @@
 ''Ferocity'' - 5/5 points
 Reduces the cost of your Maul, Swipe, Claw, and Rake abilities by 5 Rage or Energy. This is not a big help for Cat, but very noticable for Bear abilities.
 ''Improved Bash'' - 2/2 points
 Increases the stun duration of your Bash ability by 1 second. Trust me, this second matters a LOT.
 ''Sharpened Claws'' - 3/5 points
 Increases your critical strike chance while in Bear, Dire Bear or Cat form by 3%. Filler. More crits are nice, but what we really want is to get to the next tier.
 ''Feral Charge'' - 1/1 point
 Causes you to charge an enemy, stopping its movement and interrupting any spell being cast for 4 seconds. This is somewhat useful in PvE but mostly shines in PvP, giving you an anti-kiting tool and another spell interrupt (Druids badly lack abilities that interrupt enemy casting). Four second root is a bonus.

 ''Improved Mark of the Wild'' - 5/5 points
 Increases the effects of your Mark of the Wild spell by 35%. You don't need this until you get to about level 30, but it does make a nice improvement for the higher ranks of MotW.
 ''Furor'' - 5/5 points
 Gives you a 100% chance to gain 10 Rage when you shapeshift into Bear and Dire Bear form. This is huge. In fact, I suggest you put your first 5 talent points here.

 ''Nature's Focus'' - 5/5 points
 Gives you a 60% chance to avoid interruption caused by damage while casting the Healing Touch or Regrowth spells. Not bad in itself, and required for Nature's Swiftness.
 ''Gift of Nature'' - 1/1 point
 Increases the effect of your Healing Touch, Rejuvenation, Regrowth, and Tranquility spells by 5%. Show me another talent with better returns for one point.
 ''Reflection'' - 5/5 points
 Allows 15% of your Mana regeneration to continue while casting. Pre-requisite for Innervate. Otherwise you probably won't notice it until you get to Molten Core raids.

 These are mostly fillers. Put eight points where they will augment your play style. The above allocation is what I currently use.
