Agility stat fooled me... is it for dps Druid ?

Im playing Druid Feral and I was really suprised when I looked on Agi stat. I thought it gives me crit too, but no.

Agility gives you:

  • attack power with ranged weapons
  • crit chance with all weapons
  • armor and dodge chance

So as dps Druid (using Cat form most of time) should I stacking only Attack power and raw crit chance ?
Looks like agility is for Bear form only.
Thank you

Try to read the cat form tooltip.

Cat form turns agility into attack power.

For DPS strength and agility are very similar, although (if I recall correctly) agility is slightly ahead.

Strenght is for kitty due to the talent that increases attackpower by percentage. Strenght gives more ap then agi. Agi is bear for dodge.

Don’t switch to cat too soon though, bear is still superior until level ~24 when you get some good abilities. Also strengths scales a bit better early levels, later the crit from agility increases your level speed more than strength does.

Stats are not for specific classes like they are in Retail. Strength is rubbish for rogues and druids in Retail but it’s good for them in Classic. Strength and Agility are both v. good so if you find an upgrade with more Strength than your current Agility then take that.

Hunters most useful stat is Intellect for example :wink:

It’s hard to put into words how different the class design was originally in WoW, before they all got shoe-horned into Everquest-style roles that are really only applicable to raids. You’re a Druid; not a tank, healer or DPS. Your primary advantage is adaptability and versitility, something which specialist classes like Rogues and Mages lack. Raid dungeons were inserted into the game late in deelopment and are not designed for classes as they are, but in accordance with the the ‘holy trinity’ role system lifted from Everquest. You don’t have to follow those rules and that mindset until you actually decide to try raiding, in which case the guild group-think chooses for you that you are stuck doing a single restricted role.

You’re a hybrid-class, like Shaman and Paladin. You can customise your characters how you like, to play how you like, but trying to be optimal is all that: there’s a reason you often have to pick less-than-optimal talents to progress in a tree towards the most optimal ones.
