[Feral] The art of a Kitten: PvE guide

[aggixx]

I'm aware, I was just saying that the gap looks quite large to be the best solution, and not being able to get his mastery any lower isn't an issue since he could just drop the mastery gem if he needed to.

Assuming your stats have enough flexibility to bring all 3 stats to the same level, I think you should probably be able to get less than 100 waste (how short your two stats are from mastery added together) in most sets of gear. Although it might take a bit of time to find that solution and I can totally understand if some people don't want to spend 1 hour trying to figure out their reforges every time they get a gear upgrade.

Nothing wrong whit that TBH when i have the time i actually like to optimize as well :-)

Well, I like to optimize only as a means to do more damage.

I don't like optimizing for optimization's sake.

Just sat down for about two hours to try and sort it, the closest I got it was about 50 stats between, but crit was max. Not sure I can get them closer so mastery is top, i'll give it another try later. This is quite frustrating at times :P I do really want to get it right. Thanks for the help Aggixx and Etapicx.

Gave it another shot, managed to change it from my first try where I had
2808 exp (I hate the stats on the TOT gear..)
2700 hit
5392 Mastery
5299 crit
5088 haste

Which ended up giving me a proc of 20774

I changed it to:
5675 Mastery
5342 Haste
5148 Crit
2594 hit
2808 exp

Which gives me a proc of 20980 I believe. So although my stats are more unequal, the size of the proc was larger, so I guess it is still better than my previous try. Can't seem to get my stats to go any higher in Wowreforge though, due to the amount of hit/exp on my gear and the amount of free slots I have. Oh well, I tried I guess.

Also is there a reason why sometimes ROR is making my rips tick for 23k in recount, and rakes 26k sometimes? It just seems a lot lower than what I usually get.

[Dysheki]

That rip number does seem low but not that far off from where it is relative to rake. Looking at my logs from a kill last night here are some average numbers:

Rip average normal tick: 65,809
Rip average crit tick: 129,821

Rake average normal tick: 65,262
Rake average crit tick: 139,979

So while it may seem odd, they tick for relatively similar numbers. Remember rip is every two seconds while rake is every three.

It might just seem weird to me because of the ticks i get with ROR, but those ticks seem really low. Oh well, cheers.

did some dummy bashing and i get close to the same results. no buffs apart from crystal and motw. 9min of bashing with my son hitting the keyboard meanwhile so its 100% flawless execution!




it seems rather low ticks yea, but i guess its just the most crappy rip you sometimes get off. usually doesnt happen that often in a fight.

hmpf seems you have to zoom on imageshack to be able to see the pictures, atleast on my pc!

haste: 5853
crit: 5758
mastery: 5889
hit: 2632

Hi , sorry for the stupid question but i will shoot it . I have Renataki's Soul Charm , Bad Juju and Vicious Talisman of the Shado-Pan Assault (all normal aka. 522 ilvl) . I need 10 more secrets to get meta so it will be anytime soon . Should i start reforging Mastery>Haste>Crit or to stay Mastery>Crit>Haste

Thanks in advance

[Deleted]

Rune of orgination proc is so terrible now

[Deleted]

Same, luckily still had vicious talisman in my bags, so i just reforged to the non-ROR priority and raided, still kinda annoyed though

Random DoC rotation question but I don't want to start a new thread about it. Apologies if asked before.

At which point roughly (ilvl-wise) would you consider switching from shred to mangle as main CP builder? The SimC build @ http://simulationcraft.org/520/Raid_T15H.html#player5 is apparently using a H BiS (ilvl 537) gear set with craptons of nice stats vs what I personally have now (ilvl 514). I've been running ToT normal both with shred and mangle as builders and can't really get a consistent result with regards to concluding what's better. Mangle just makes things a tad more easy.

Obviously only looking at ilvl is grossly oversimplified and I understand that, just want to have some rough guide-lines.

Also been wondering whether the switch to mangle only is due to faster CP generation, or if it's actually a DPS win vs. shred.

Thanks in advance for any pointers,
Crit

I have 518 and i only use Shred when i have Berserk up or OoC (If Thrash is up) and if Energy capped or close to, And i've found it to be the best way ofc it isn't really a big difference between the two tbh.

[Paloro]

I've only been getting 10-15% uptimes with my RoR lately.....this is sooooooo sad!

I dont think theres a required iLevel for this, tbh the lower your ilevel the more you should be relying on mangle.
