Cat dps enough for raiding?

Title. Ive played feral since i started the game and wanna know if i could raid as a cat dps? I know powershofing amd MCP are required for competitive dps but is it enough

It’ll be above the mediocre level, if you put forth the effort. Farming MCP is the only way to be fairly competitive.

Raids will want at least one Feral offtank for flexibility, but that’s about it.

Thanks ill go to my second choice then. My rogue.

The stigma of healer DPS is not going away any time soon.

but people cleared Molten Core without everybody even being level 60. If a raid can’t handle a few healer DPS builds, it’s cause the raid is bad.

It’s totally fine for most casual raiding guilds. A fair warning though, sometimes you’ll end up occasionally off-healing and doing other things outside of cat-form. It’s not like retail cat dps

take a ret paladin as well because then you’ll have someone lower than you.

I would hope there are people in this game that aren’t too snobby about this kind of thing and are fine putting together raids with what they have. You just have to find them, or start one. Play whatever you find fun, imo.

if you plan on staying in cat form the entire time, don’t bother. To be “competitive” you need MCPs and even then you probably wont top charts against a mage/rogue/warrior putting in equal effort and with equal gear.

If you’re ok playing a druid and not a cat, you’ll be fine. Feral druids bring multiple things to a raid, great off tank, emergency heals, combat rez to save a wipe, and ‘decent’ DPS when none of that is happening.

The only bad druid in a raid is one that never shifts. If you wanna pokey pokey kill and hit the top of the meter it’s not the right class. We’re swiss army knives.

Just like the 100000 other threads asking this same question over and over again.

Yes, you can find a guild to raid with.
No, you will not be accepted into speed raider/hardcore guilds.

Feral Druids will out dps hunters and warlocks if you prep for it…
