Seems like Feral DPS is lacking...

[lostdruid]

gotta see it this way, TC might be talking about regular geared Feral Druids.

Feral Druid as of now, hits fairly good, but compared to all the classes u mentioned, not that well.

But like the other poster said..

Savage Roar! ^^

with a 40%... 4orty%, Forty Percent increase to atk power... WoW *O*

...im just speechlessing laughingly freakinglishly AWESOME!! xD

Sr sounds very promising and i look eager to lvl75 not to say raiding but I got that feel of disappointment that blizzard couldn't do anything else to our class than give us more ap. Since the introduction of (proper) feral and itemization everything goes around ap. not another mechanic just raw ap.
i don't know a boost of 2000~3000ap how will feel end game let's see and wait 5-6 months or so.

why did they take out the buff mangle gave to shred?

They didn't. Note it says it increases bleed effects by 30%.

Shred says it counts as a bleed.

There you go.

They did that so that the warrior version from Arms also counts as mangle for our shreds. So if you have an arms warrior in raid you can take mangle out of your rotations which = win.

Heh.. not trying to be too picky, but shred is not a "bleed". Mangle increases bleed damage, and shred's damage is increased by anything which increases bleed damage. It is later modified further through rend and tear to increase shred damage if the target is bleeding. SOOO Mangle (increases bleed damage) increases shred damage then shred damage is further increased if the target is bleeding (through rnt).

the last changes regarding shred, mangle and rnt are confusing

[Shifthappend]

Right now, keeping rip/rake up all the time and using mangle only deal about same dps than a painful shred rotation (Assuming there's no arm warrior)
(Tested it on dummy^^)

Just use additional mangles not to lose energy rejeneration ...

Our dps is fixed with 1 skill ... Savage roar ...

SR is not a buff ... Its a fix ...

Now you just need to know which skill will scale the most with AP ... Rake or shred ?

Rake will deal more dps on high armored boss ...
Shred will deal more dps on low armored boss ...

Shred require Full spected into it ... meaning you ll be a bad tank if you spec for it
Rake can be fully used with all bear tanking talent (Skipping RnT and Shredding, bear doesnt need addition TPS)...

Cat has 2 ways to dps now ...
