Feral Druids - the Bear guide

[Merodium]

I know how RAWR works, thank you very much.
What I meant was, "It didnt help one bit" as in, it didnt answer any of my questions, in any way.
When RAWR suggests gemming and gear, lets say for me going from 10man normal to HM, does it instruct me to gem so I can take exactly 2 hits, or a bit more than a few hits? I just want to know how precisely I should actually follow it.

I'm not sure how it works, I always figured out how much health I want to have through experimentation while using rawr as a general guide.

If you need rawr to tell you things that precisely you have other issues.

Looking for a rotation for Cataclysm / next patch, please help!

What I do on PTR is not really a rotation, it's more of a priority list, though I don't know if it's really good, because i didn't test it too much.

*use Faerie Fire and Mangle whenever they're up (that's the part I'm unsure about)
*Lacerate to 3 stacks, if no Pulverize on you then Pulverize, if you already have Pulverize, keep the 3 stacks until P. wears off, refresh P. refresh Lacerate
*spam Maul

I was thinking about not spamming FF and Mangle, only using Mangle on the procs and Swiping instead. Gonna do some more testing later today and tell you what I've got.

I'll catch the calm before the storm, given the chances of a patch tomorrow, and say: farewell, dear druid community.
I'll be playing my paladin to 85 first for Cataclysm, so I won't be dancing the Bear dance for a while. Not like I'll forget my druid anyway, but I'll leave this work to others. It's been fun doing this all along, and a great honor to have built something, along with all the good guys that make this community worth respect.
My thanks to everyone that contributed and supported the Bear guide all the way from a bunch of random posts to over 260k views and three different language versions.
I'll stick around in these months before Cataclysm hits, trying to answer what I can regarding 4.0 as soon as it hits Live. After that, I'll be happy to get back to the "asking" side ^^

I'll miss you and all your wisdom, Arel. Thanks for starting something this wonderful! Best of luck with your paladin in Cataclysm, and I hope we'll see you back eventually.

i don't spam FF but mangle should be on cd, and in case you are getting high on rage unload some mauls, but swipe spamming is not a good idea most likely asyou may need that one off cd if any adds join the fry

I donno if it's mentioned in patch notes, but they broke my feral macros.

now you have to
/cast [form:1] Swipe(Bear form)
/cast [form:3] Swipe(Cat form)
