SoD Phase 3 Feral Druid DPS Guide | Season of Discovery

[@easycake3251]

Im not quite sure where you got some of this priority from. Not to mention that while yes, hit is important, but in NO WORLD is AP ahead of Agy and Str, both of which at a point by point value nearly 3 times ahead of pure AP. On top, taking FA is also pointless for cat, Shred hits quite a bit harder, so its a complete waste of talents. TLDR: Bite and Rake are dead spells at this point. Omen is a very minor dps increase, tho ofc, if you are going full cat dps and your Guild is for some reason allowing you not to take LoTP for the Warriors that are doing 2x our dmg, then yes, I agree with your talents. For the 99.9% of the Ferals in Guilds ? You wont be allowed to go this spec, especially the Horde cats. Dont mean to derail your clip, but the info is quite a bit wrong, simulations prove it.

[@retpaladinproduction]

Being "not allowed" to go whatever spec you want to play is honestly one of the most cringe comments I have read on a wow video in quite some time. You're "allowed" to put whatever points you want wherever you want. He simply is giving a rough guideline for the class. I will agree with you that a good majority of the information he's giving is very wrong, please word your concerns differently.

[@retpaladinproduction]

I will also piggy back off the omen of clarity nonsense, taking these talents does not increase your dps enough to justify taking omen. Your dps is increased by an amount almost laughable. You getting a few more autos in a situational event will be the same, even in the best scenario. I got 99's with both, but if I were to relay any type of advice, I would obviously agree with you, and say lotp. These bosses in these raids are not build for parsing anyway, so i'm very confused on why people even mention parsing. With the lack of difficulty, alongside the laughable mechanics "parsing" looked at by any player that has "parsed" in content like current retail wow, to any other version of the game is comedic to say the least.

[@easycake3251]

@@retpaladinproduction Sure, you are "allowed" if you plan on soloing ST. EVERY Guild will make you go LoTP, unless you are the GM and doing w/e u want. Warriors are doing 2x Feral dmg, and Feral is doing about middle of the pack dps atm. We are sadly only there to provide buffs to other melee atm.

[@anytown3821]

Just a heads up, Wild Strikes (Feral Windfury) is a party wide buff, not raid. Cheers for the video.

[@charliroman6307]

hi :) it's a flat 30% reduction for Feline Switftness in SoD not just when outside!

[@pjtyra2106]

I don’t think you meant reduction

[@DavidBOYify]

Take talents for ferocious bite then checking logs no one use the ability xD

[@KimicYT]

It's because it actually buffs rip as well. It just doesn't mention it in the tooltip. Classic wow moment

[@GoonerTechie]

@@KimicYT Wowhead states: "It has been recently confirmed that the Feral Aggression talent does not apply to Rip, so those talent points are interchangeable with anything you want". Besides, Javier makes no mention of Rip at all, just about Ferocious Bite.

[@PULAG]

So is F Bite and/or Rip any good? Is feral trash?

[@KimicYT]

@@PULAG Nah feral is pretty good just harder to play than other classes imo. I don't understand your original question though. You should only be using Rip 5 combo point after it's fallen off and only bite if the target is abt to die and you won't get value out of rip.

[@PULAG]

@@KimicYT I'm new to feral I have no idea the rotation or main moves to be using. Could you recommend a rotation video or tell me basics, please?

[@Talonmurray]

I think you only use 1 mangle at the start, and the DOTs of rake dont outweigh the damage/energy cost of rep, so you only use shred

[@KimicYT]

Oh so you're saying it's more efficient to opt out of casting rake and instead just shred?

[@Talonmurray]

@@KimicYT correct

[@datmeern8404]

Don't even train Rake

[@KimicYT]

@@datmeern8404 thanks for the info guys I unbound it :)

[@jaynendumont477]

Wrong shed is great in a raid but when soloing it’s practically garbage as you cannot use it unless you’re behind your target.

[@jamescoverdale7847]

Dont go for furor, just natural weapons. Leader of the pack is gonna be a lot better for you and your melee party. It pars nice with ws. Also, a better stat priority is hit then crit. Crit is gonna give you more damage. Plus most leather gear has agi then str

[@JaviHeals]

Really depends for LoTR - If u have a bear tank they should take it, and you shouldn’t… ofc that depends on the composition of your raid though 😁

[@romankandel2073]

Feline Swiftness also works indoors.

[@TheOleOtter]

Seems like you would still do more DMG with mangle since you can use it more than shred and have more of a chance procing tigers furry.

[@KimicYT]

Shred gets buffed by mangle though and extends rip duration

[@unixtreme]

Nah.

[@isomervillei6609]

Hi is same thing with LOTP just with out our omen procs?

[@aaronhall4520]

It all depends on whether or not you want omen or not. I run feral OS for our raid and run Lotp because we run 2 dpa war 2 ret pallies with each feral. They do stupid dmg and you support

[@thefinalskarm1754]

Having guildies debate omen vs 5/5 heart thing+leader

[@JaviHeals]

I've advised in my Feral Tank video to take leader - But... of course not all guilds are using a feral tank, so I would say at least ONE person should indeed take it! Hope that helps haha? :D

[@HuibzOG]

omen is personal dps which looks nice , but lotp is raid dps which = faster kills = higher logs over all

[@aaronhall4520]

Omen is a small damage increase over lotp and 5/5 heart for personal dps. unless you have multiple ferals you want to just go lotp and 5/5 heart

[@DeDe-by9se]

Why Savage Fury instead of Blood Frenzy? makes no sense

[@RocknMetalbitches]

im guessing it has to do with no lotp+ your only getting 1 point in it unless you sac something else dosn't seem worth imho

[@asbachmensch]

Why Strength > Agility/Crit ?

[@DeDe-by9se]

1 Str = 2 AP

[@asbachmensch]

@@DeDe-by9se 1 know that, but why is it better than crit ?

[@daidalos4616]

Why do you insist on teaching people to be selfish pricks? your party will want Leader of the Pack in any serious raiding scenario. Or is this a solo guide?

[@JaviHeals]

You wont find a "serious raiding scenario" in SoD lol & you can take whatever talents you wish! :)

[@unixtreme]

Depends on your goals, normally you have a bear tank take leader of the pack since it doesn't need any power shift talents and benefits from the 20% stamina.

[@jimihicks7547]

@@JaviHeals What does that even mean? no one in sod Is raiding seriously??

[@JaviHeals]

This is exactly what I recommended in my Bear tanking guide :D

[@JaviHeals]

I'd say to check out what the Dev said today on twitter. He explained it's for the average joe to have a laugh with mates, and isn't supposed to be hard or difficult content. He said if you do want difficult content, other versions of WoW have that. That IS my opinion too, but this is coming from the actual SoD Dev's themselves.
