Hi all,
Great wealth of information here, especially feral tanking, I've realised that my armor of 21k is seriously not cutting it for some encounters for 25man naxx. But at this this evening I will start trying to correct the issue!
What I'm really struggling with at the moment is my cat form rotation dps. I think my gear isn't bad, like 3-4 25man naxx drops + a few epix, but I'm only pulling around 1.4 to 1.7 DPS through the raid and bosses encounters which means I'm doing something. I got 3k+ DPS with bear on trash, but that doesn't count IMO since I had to pop beserk.
Note that I understand that because I have some tanking enchants I'm not really expecting to hit 4k DPS like other druids, but I think my current DPS is a little low since this was achieveable pre WotLK. So there has (hope) there is something wrong with my rotation.
I don't have imp shred and only glyph of mangle. I have rend and tear.
My Typical cycle is to
-> open with pounce for an extra bleed
-> Mangle -> SR
-> Pop TF then Rake -> Rip
-> Faerie Fire
-> Then begin repeating maintaining Mangle, Rake, SR (not always 5CP) and Rip (not always 5CP).
Mangle is my main combo point builder.
I normally SR wait for energy then pop trinket and spam shred / FB for a booast in damage, but I haven't hit 2k dps yet. I've haven't really used cower, I'm sure its there for reason, but I haven't had to use it yet .
Any tips to improving my DPS would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
