Stat Priority

1. STR
2. VIT
3. LUK

Early on, 100 STR with the rest into VIT is a simple, effective spread. As you refine your build: roughly 65 STR + VIT works for instances, 99 STR + LUK for MVP damage, or 99 VIT + STR for PvP/GvG, depending on your focus. The Build Master stat rewards follow VIT first, then STR.

Open with Savage Bite, follow with Shadow Night Hunter, then Shred, and cast Ravenous when you need the heal.
PvP: dive with Savage Bite, place Shadow Night Hunter, leave with Vile Claw Strike; use Shred on structures in Guild War.

Tips

Purple quality Lv3 special skills are enough to get by before Lv70.
Transformed Druids still count as Demi-Human race, so race-based cards and skills still apply.
