Feral Cat DPS Guide - Burning Crusade Classic (TBC)

A note that I forgot - As Black Temple and Sunwell Plateau roll out, your most valuable stat (actually gets MORE valuable the MORE you stack it) is Armor Penetration. It wasn't mentioned here, as it isn't currently a stackable stat present on gear, but this becomes very, very relevant later one and I simply forgot to mention it!

Couple things to add. It's always better to burn another shred and then ferocious biting closer to 35 energy even if it means over capping on points, rather than burning a full energy bar on bite. Also, if you're at 5 combo points, and there's say 5 or 6 sec left on rip (there won't be enough time to bite, then get enough points for another rip without the current one falling off) it is better to just shred again and overcap on points that waste points overwriting 6 sec of rip. Finally, if you end at an oddball energy amount leaving you only enough to rake, using the rake before shifting is a gain. Good video! Kudos my friend!

Thank you !

[@BrodyNelson]

Thanks for the guide

[@violetcitadel3915]

You're very welcome

[@nittiograder]

Ive been looking for that weakaura for energy and combo points. Can you share it please ?

[@violetcitadel3915]

It's actually not a weakaura. It's NugEnergy and NugComboBar, totally separate addons. I like them!

[@dylanpotter7861]

Yoooooo my guy! Is the a weakaura for the energy and combo point trackers during combat ?

[@violetcitadel3915]

It's NugEnergy and NugComboBar, actually! I like them.

Is there any reason to not take the 4% Dodge as Feral?

[@violetcitadel3915]

Not unless there's a literal 0% chance of you ever tanking. 4% dodge is pretty huge.

[@JJ-is4wm]

why feral instinct as cat lol?

[@RJMacReady1]

He literally says so several times. This is a build that assumes some tanking in raids as well. Which, as a feral druid, you SHOULD assume.

[@3illzzz]

Could you link the discord you referred to and post the macros too?

[@violetcitadel3915]

discord.gg/classicdruid For the druid discord Powershift macro: #showtooltip Cat Form /cast !Cat Form Cat - mana pot macro: /run if GetSpellCooldown(768)+GetItemCooldown(13446)>0 or UnitPower("player",0)0 or UnitPower("player",0)

[@violetcitadel3915]

Posted them here, as the description field won't allow for the angled brackets in the macro text :)

@@violetcitadel3915 thank you!

[@Bingcrens]

I just want to say that being hit capped is not necessary. The damage difference between a hit and a miss is smaller than the damage between a hit and a crit for a cat (and some other specs).

[@dylanwarner8966]

while this is true, in T5 getting hit capped is almost a given and the hard part is actually dropping hit to 6% if your raid has a boomy.

[@Yorashy]

You get 2,2 AP/str +kings

[@shaquessejones9947]

U can just click the potion and cat form at the same to get the same result and only requires partial use of your brain

[@violetcitadel3915]

I just find it easier to bind it all in one button. A personal choice! Thanks for the comment.

[@Stompinwind]

Actually there is a difference in spec between cat and bear but it's not much its 7 to 8 points different

[@violetcitadel3915]

There are a couple variable points but I feel what is offered in the video, as was stated, is the best for the offtank role. Thanks for the comment!

[@danmoore1427]

Your gear looks a little rough for phase 2 my dude

[@violetcitadel3915]

Lol yeah this was 3 1/2 months ago, gear has come a long way since then.

[@Koma7oze]

you are intolerable

[@Stompinwind]

Let's see you use that power shifting mentality on vashj or kael cuz you cannot, You shouldn't be teaching somebody a method is only good for phase one which is already oyeah it's already over and 75% of the bosses in phase 2 and not gonna be useful in phase 3 get the right method down Which will math to make you think a second ticker head instead of just one tick

[@ProdigaliNKGaming]

Wrong man, you 100% powershift on Vashj... It removes her snare off you too. If you have wisdom on the boss you can power shift nearly endlessly before the boss dies.

[@kallebaah0]

You're not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you

[@Stompinwind]

@@kallebaah0 I'm a better player than 99.9% of all druids and pretty sharp

[@dylanwarner8966]

if your raid brings a ret pally, and you have good uptime on Judgement of wisdom cat has nearly infinite mana. I've stopped chugging mana potions and use haste exclusivly now. never have mana issue on any fight unless I have to Brez, then mana can become an issue sometimes

[@Stompinwind]

@@Daftdrunkk I power shift, but not with wolfshead and I 99 on ever fight I have dpsed, but I have not dpsed any 25 man content and I am in a 10/10 raid for all 4 of my 70s too most cannot say they are in 1 farm raid and I'm in 4
