Wildheart
A dual-role primal shapeshifter. Sabertooth Form is a demanding Energy-and-bleed predator that layers Rake, Rip, Mangle, Wildheart Rend, and timed finishers. Bear Form is a forgiving Rage tank built on enormous health, armor, easy threat, Maul, Swipe, and Iron Fur. Every tree node rewards both forms. Dexterity reinforces raw Strength.
Talents
CAT: auto-attacks have a 10% chance per rank to deal 50% bonus physical hit damage. BEAR: auto-attacks have the same chance to restore 4 Rage.
Weapon autos while below 75% health restore 2 health per rank, once every 2 seconds; this supports Bear survival. CAT additionally has a 6% chance per rank on owned Rake/Rip ticks to restore 6 Energy.
Bear Maul applies Mangle and extra threat. Cat Shred receives its power directly rather than maintaining another damage amplifier.
CAT: auto-attacks have a 10% chance per rank to deal 50% bonus physical hit damage. BEAR: taking damage has a 15% chance per rank to restore 5 Rage.
Cat weapon autos against your own Rake add 2 + 3% Attack Power damage once per second; Bite preserves Rake/Rip. Bear Maul grants 6% damage reduction for 6 seconds.
Three successful Cat or Bear ability hits prepare a transition for 10 seconds. Actually entering the opposite form spends that memory: Cat gains one free Rake with 25% more direct damage; Bear gains 12% damage reduction. Rewards last 6 seconds.
Cat claws hit harder. Bite consumes your remaining Rake/Rip damage immediately unless Primal Rhythm preserves those wounds. Bear Swipe retains its defensive cooldown recovery. Savage Roar is learned as a permanent passive.
CAT — positive Shred hits grant 4% movement speed per rank for 3 seconds to reposition. BEAR — being damaged has a 15% chance per rank to grant 10% damage reduction, at most once every 2 seconds.
CAT — owned Rake/Rip ticks shorten the shared Bite cooldown. BEAR — Maul becomes Earthshatter, a Vitality-scaled cone that also works against one target.
CAT — positive Shred hits against your owned Rake add 3 damage per rank. BEAR — positive Maul hits against your own Mangle add 3 damage per rank. Each response is limited to once per second.
CAPSTONE: CAT upgrades Ferocious Bite into Primal Bite, with 50% more impact. BEAR retains Primal Bulwark, its major defensive taunt.
