Notes

  • Available at level 71.
  • Hits all targets considered to be in front of the druid and within melee range.
  • This attack is the only offensive Ability druid catform [Cat Form] ability that does not generate or consume combo points.
  • The damage has a chance to crit on more than one target.

Talent Improvement

All talents that improve Bear Form's Swipe also apply to Swipe.

Tips and Tactics

  • A Feral druid with most of the talents mentioned will hit each target for about 1400 damage on average and crit for up to 3600 with around 5,500 attack power.
  • Useful for farming multiple mobs that are a few levels lower than the caster and who will die quickly or to deal what can be some sizeable AOE damage to a group of PVP opponents.
  • Use of this ability should be carefully weighed in certain situations, especially in instances or raids, since it uses most of the druids's energy and doesn't generate combo points. This is a very good way to use up an Spell nature crystalball [Omen of Clarity] proc.
  • Combine with Ability druid skinteeth [Savage Roar] and Ability druid berserk [Berserk] and a high crit chance to deal a very large amount of damage when in close quarters combat, especially useful in pvp.

Patch changes

  • Cataclysm Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Can now be used even if the druid does not have a primary target selected.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): Percent of weapon damage done reduced from 260% to 250%.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): Added.
