How to dps as feral druid in Gnomeregan | P2 feral dps guide |

[@EverstillTV]

Spend combo point Savage Roar and Rip. Don't use Ferocious Bite.

[@MrPsen11]

The why 5/5 in feral aggression?

[@Pyprr]

@@MrPsen11 because there can be times when the boss is about to die and maybe the only thing you can do is blast a bite, brutal impact and feral instinct dont do anything in pve but i still play it for general world use as you wont find yourself biting at all really

[@EverstillTV]

I also run www.wowhead.com/classic/talent-calc/druid/-503202032320211-05_156pa66v476pf86v5a6pm - those 5 points don't really matter imo. Last run I had this spec@@MrPsen11

[@bryanbryan6108]

You can fit ferocious bite into the rotation during and after berserk. You’ll have extra points before needing to refresh rip or roar, and it’s only a dps loss if you let one of these fall off for (I think it was more than 4 seconds. Could be 5) as a result of squeezing in a FB. The best ferals in the game are able to squeeze in more FBs without letting dots/buffs fall off. That’s how you 99 parse.

[@richmarrero1313]

For Aoe as a feral i start off in cat get 3 combo points and go into a savage roar then i shift into bear pop enrage sometimes challenging shout after enrage for more rage, pop berserk and watch that mangle with the 30% damage modifer from savage roar just shred through mobs is a thing of beauty as its cleaving!

[@richmarrero1313]

Then once I burn all the rage on bear back to cat pop tigers fury for the insta energy and resume cat dps.

[@richmarrero1313]

Warning! May have alot of threat generated lmao

[@EverstillTV]

I need berserk on the bosses, can't do that on trash packs, we run through the raid too fast to use it on trash! I might try it on the Menagerie, but idk. When leveling, I did what you wrote, it's super fun for sure. It's nice dps!

[@AaaBbb-pl8jc]

But savage roar only affects your cat damage, not bear damage

[@richmarrero1313]

@@AaaBbb-pl8jc are you sure about that? Just says increases damage. You have to be in cat form to put it up but I'm pretty sure the damage increase effects bear form.

[@matthewrusso4875]

Same rotation for feral offtank? I have trouble getting my dps anywhere near the 80% as an offtank when im not tanking. Is it not possible because od the different talents? And if its the talents, which can i afford to drop to get more damage. Right now im just tanking electrocutioner and the last boss. So 4/6 im dps

[@EverstillTV]

Hello, do you mind sharing your talents here or DM on discord and we can take a look if there's anything I can help you with!

[@joeycarbone9540]

TLDR: Join a raid with everyone else parsing 95+ and you will too.

[@EverstillTV]

You say that like I am dead last on the dps meters, which is not true if you check the logs.

[@jarannar]

This comment is almost as stupid as using TLDR on a video. You really tried with this one 🤡

[@rilayMk]

hi, what addons do you use? Specially to see the energy bar/mana at the same time and to know when to PS. I'm new to feral so you only need to apply mangle once? i keep top dpsing by spamming it but its not really fun when I basicly only have 1 key to press all the time

[@EverstillTV]

Energy bar = NugEnergy, to see mana it's a setting in LeatrixPlus under Interface "Show druid power bar". Mangle only needs to be used once for the debuff. The debuff increases damage done with shred and bleed effects. That's why it's used once. Try to use it once then do shred spamming instead, it does a lot of damage and makes it a bit more fun! You can see in any of the vod videos i've uploaded how I do it!

[@bluedream0243]

I'm leveling feral atm only lvl 32 but everyone is telling me to reroll and not waste my time, I love druids for the forms/lore but are they right? am I wasting my time leveling feral?

[@EverstillTV]

Is this your only character? Are you in a guild that will give you a raid spot as feral? Most importantly; it's only a waste of your time if you feel miserable playing it and only doing it for someone else, imo. I love druids. They're versatile, you can get spell caster gear and respec and cast spells if you want, they're excellent flag carriers in Warsong Gulch, you have travel from from 30 which makes leveling smoother and they're great to use for herbalism for example if you wanna use that profession. You can farm things like stranglekelp easier than most due to Aquatic Form swimming up and down the coast. If you are playing to try and be the absolute highest DPS in your group / try to do speed runs etc then druid is not the best. But it depends how you play your World of Warcraft.

[@MrZynical]

Great vid, any particular reason you choose not to spend all your energy before popping TF into Berserk? since having the 15% increased dmg on shreds, seems way 2 OP not to abuse

[@EverstillTV]

When I used my Tiger's Fury in the end video I ended up at 98 energy, which means I didn't over cap and I instantly used a rip for the increased dmg from Tiger's fury on it. Then I try to use as many shreds as possible but sometimes I just do some silly mistakes on ability order still. There's a lot of impression and some days I can process everything better and some days worse and getting a miss/dodge sometimes throws off the sequence I have in mind. But generally you want to use every global you can for shred, I just sometimes change my mind mid fight. Last few raids been very late (9/10pm) so the ADHD meds are out of the system :D

[@MrZynical]

I just picked up the habit from Wrath rotation where TF is locked out of Berserk, it seems like, getting full value from my initial energy before i zerk is way worth it. Rake (65E) -> SR (40E) -> Mangle (5E) - > TF + Zerk with incoming Energy tick, and im rdy to blast for full value with shreds right after. Guess ill have to test it out and compare

[@EverstillTV]

ahhh, I never played feral in wotlk so I don't know how it is there!

[@retsofx4186]

@@MrZynical you should mangle before rake to get the rake damage increase form mangle......... FF>Mangle>SR>Rake

[@EverstillTV]

on last boss I think it's a slight dps increase do to rake first -> SR -> Mangle, because the high armor it will end up with a slight higher damage number than one mangle. @@retsofx4186

[@justinrobertson9610]

Is it worth going for a certain combo point number for Rip? Or just keeping it up?

[@EverstillTV]

3-5 they say but I personally would aim for 4-5, but never use it if it's already up, even if it's 2 seconds left, wait for it to fall off before using it again!

[@bryanbryan6108]

You want to do whatever will keep your rip and your road de-synced. The best ferals will never need to refresh rip and roar at or close to the same time. So if the interval starts tightening you can do a 5cp roar and then a shorter rip to desync or vise versa. Keeping the refresh points of these two as far apart as possible will keep you from landing in sticky situations as feral

[@jimihicks7547]

Are we still snapshotting with SR and TF for our bleeds?

[@EverstillTV]

I tend to do that, if possible, but, the main goal is to use as many shreds as you possibly can during berserk, but, if you're at 5 combo points, savage roar is up and boss will live longer than 20 seconds you'll put rip down, trying to get that on Tiger's Fury for maximum damage, yes.

[@worldofmorphcraft6588]

Is Rake buffed in SOD? I always thought it was a useless spell

[@EverstillTV]

Yes it got buffed, it was useless, now it's less useless!

[@bryanbryan6108]

Rake is the most damage per energy button you can press

[@whistles8281]

What is power shifts you keep talking about ?

[@EverstillTV]

I have a video about that right here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnq4cmd8Yt9jd7c Hope that clears it up, if you still got questions, let me know!

[@MattsHair]

In a group with 2 wars,rogue and melee hunter would leader of pack be net raid positive over furor?

[@EverstillTV]

For your own personal DPS gain, no, for the raids overall gain, hard to tell. It depends how long the fights are and how much you actually powershift. If you don't powershift on a boss then 5/5 furor is 100% a loss in dps, but, if you have a few powershifts then that should be outperforming LOTP for your own DPS.

[@teebaumoel]

leader of the pack is big dps increase for your melees group. There is no point to not take it. Only if u really care about your own logs and if u think thats the most important thing on earth, then take it :P

[@KCurtis87]

I got a 99 on 2nd boss in gnomer last night as lotp. You can still get 99s but will most likely never get a top 100 parse.

[@shahzaibkhanisme]

it's not as big as you would think, it's just crit chance @@teebaumoel

[@bryanbryan6108]

@@shahzaibkhanismewhen you’re talking about people striving for a 1% dps increase to get a 99 or 100 parse, 3% crit is absolutely mind boggingly massive.

[@mAv64uk]

Which Weapon enchant is best? Dismantle or 3%haste.

[@EverstillTV]

They're kind of similar from what's gathered in information right now. Slight chance Dismantle can get some high rolls and outperforms but in general it's same difference! Might change, the new change was recent and it's not tested properly to say exactly what's best or not. I'll continue to use 3% for now personally.

[@peytondavidson251]

Should I try to keep Rake up as much as possible?

[@EverstillTV]

Re-apply it when it falls off, don't use it if it's already active. Prioritize uptime on mechanical bosses, but, try to get in as many shreds as possible. Rake when you can!

[@mosquito6581]

Great Vid

[@EverstillTV]

Thank you!

[@Spoornoo95]

why shift over 20? you lose energy if you do this

[@jimlorenzen4632]

He doesn't say you should PS over 20, he says you shouldn't PS if you have LESS than 20 Energy to the ability you want to use, because you will be able to do the attack next tick. And after that attack, you PS, to get the most out of you're PS. That's how i understand it atleast :P

[@EverstillTV]

Yes, what Jim said, that's what I mean!

[@BiteSizeWoW]

why do you only re apply rake on mechs? ty!

[@EverstillTV]

Because they have higher armor than the other bosses and live a bit longer. The other ones die so fast you can just spam shreds, unless you're at like 20 energy and wait for a tick to throw rake then powershift!

[@BiteSizeWoW]

@@EverstillTV thankyou great voice man 🌟

@@EverstillTVhey, me again, random question.. in dungeons etc, what do you do?! I'm levelling my feral atm with some scarlet monastery and on aoe pulls im just.. shredding one mob, it feels awful!

I used berserk in bear form on cooldown or I ran sunfire and dotted everything, can also just rake things or whatever. There's not a lot of fun things to do in aoe packs

[@hakangokce1670]

Use Berserk in bear form as Everstill mentioned. you can get up to about 1k dps in dungeons easily with that.@@BiteSizeWoW

[@soulcatch]

New to feral. Do you cast rip ASAP or always wait for 5 combo points?

[@EverstillTV]

Hello, I prio 5 but sometimes I use it at 4!

[@MrForsakenfirefly]

Honestly im disappointed in feral dps. And cats just fall over in pvp. One slow effect and your dead. No gap closer. Its horrible right now.

[@EverstillTV]

I don't ever pvp as feral, if I go PvP It would be FC spec for Warsong or boomie, no point in trying in catform in my opinion, sadly.

[@Zugdeals]

Druid has arguably the best ability to kite and avoid others with shift breaking roots and slows. Skull bash works as a short ranged gap closer and interrupt and you can take feral charge if you pvp regularly. There are multiple classes that have to either swap talents for pvp or deal with sub-optimal talent builds in pvp. Hopefully they add dual talent spec to make playing optimal talent builds in both pve and pvp easier. Lastly, feral can crush people damage-wise in pvp. If you try to play like a warrior you're going to have a bad time. Druid has so many tools in its kit to make it extremely difficult to deal with in pvp but takes practice.

[@Dooger414]

​@@Zugdeals Except burst dps. Even from stealth, unless they are clothes, they turnaround and chunk you so hard. Jumped a shaman, got him to 50%. 2 global cooldowns later I am spirit running because of a quadruple windfury proc + earthshock. I never jump shaman anymore...
