Survival Instincts

Survival Instincts, a Druid Feral Combat ability, is unchanged in WoW Forever: the client ships the same tooltip as Classic Era. Its tooltip reads: "When activated, this grants you 30% of your maximum health and increases all non-Physical healing you deal by 20% for 20 sec. After the effect expires, the health is lost. Useable in all forms except Moonkin Form. In addition, you regenerate 20 rage every time you dodge while in Bear Form or Dire Bear Form, 10 energy while in Cat Form, or 1% of your maximum mana while in any other form." Instant cast, 3 min cooldown.

Survival Instincts tooltip, the same in Classic Era and WoW Forever
