Brutal Impact Brutal Impact

Druid · Feral Combat · Row 2 of 7 · 2 ranks
Changed from Classic

Brutal Impact sits in row 2 of the Druid Feral Combat tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 2 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.

Changed from Classic. This talent now works differently than in Classic, so read the ranks below before you spend any points.

What Brutal Impact does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: Increases the stun duration of your Bash and Pounce abilities by 0.5 sec and reduces the cooldown of Bash by 15 sec.
  2. Rank 2: Increases the stun duration of your Bash and Pounce abilities by 1 sec and reduces the cooldown of Bash by 30 sec.

How to reach Brutal Impact

Row 2 opens after you spend 5 points in the earlier Feral Combat rows. Level 15 is the earliest you can pick up Brutal Impact.

Is Brutal Impact worth the points?

Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
