[Feral] The art of a Kitten: PvE guide

1) Yes, do whatever you need to do to make sure Rip never falls off in BitW, even if it's a crappy one. If you have no choice but to do a 1 CP bite just after SR fell off, then you should do it.

2) If you'll energy cap before you can refresh SR or Rip you should just FB anyway in most cases. Thrashing is a probably a good choice if they're both going to fall off but I don't know 100% what's the optimal way to handle it.

Okay cool, thanks for the great help again!

Does Soul Swap transfer the original rip/rake or does it calculate it's damage during the swap?

ie. Optimally, should I be soul swapping a rip/rake I applied with RoR, or soul swapping when RoR is active.

[Paloro]

It swaps your original Rip/Rake.

[The Cat]

Perfect, Thanks.

[aggixx]

Note that pretty much every addon will fail to account for this and assume that they're actually Rip/Rakes with new snapshots. It is possible to workaround but it's a bit complicated.

anyone using any standalone addon to put trinket proc in the middle of screen?

The easiest one for that is tell me when. You could also look into a much more powerful addon, weak auras.

Extra CD works pretty well if you cant be bothered to make a WA for it.

Hey guys, just got 522 Bad Juju last week in my alt run and using the VP trinket with it atm. I was curious to know if I got the RoRo this week(any version) which of those two I should replace(VP trinket/bad juju)? I looked at the list on the front page but basically want to know how it is in practice. Also, when exactly should I be using thrash over FB? Just when either Rip or SR are about to fall off? What about during the opener with Berserk macrod to troll racial? There's pretty much no energy starvation there, should I keep thrash up during the opener with DoC or even without? Thanks for any help!

RoR means you're procs are more powerful with the more secondary stats you have. I believe the VP trinket pulls ahead of the 522 Juju although I have no numbers for proof when coupled with RoR. You will push more damage keeping Thrash up as often as possible as long as its not interfering with the up-time of your other bleeds or SR.

Also I do not play a Troll Druid but as a Worgen with Berserk active I am finding it very hard to successfully spend all the available energy, infact I stay close of capped during most of the duration even while weaving in thrash. Granted I already have RoR so I'm forging 1:1:1 but I would probably end up macroing the troll berserking to TF instead of TF+Berserk.

I am curious to know, are things like Rawr and AskMrRobot still a good gauge for gearing to use for a quick reference as I remember those being very good to use in previous expansions. I ask because I basically fell behind two tiers of raiding and have just been doing LFR off and on to see content, but I am lacking in that area since I am not as serious as before when it comes to raiding but would like to at least try and find a casual ten man group.

So that's what they do to stop us using thrash on OoC procs? Make our tier set bonus do more damage, seems like an easy way out to me...

On that DoC change though...Wtf? they said they wanted to make feral harder again, and then change DoC "to reduce complexity and increase usability,". I'm lost, seems like a bad change indeed.

[Deleted]

New DoC, new gear and possible legendary weapon. Well... haste.
