I approve that
I love that sentence.. applies to everything

Mangle > savage roar > rake > shred to 5cp > rip > shred to 5cp and refresh rake if needed (don't clip) > savage roar

keep mangle up

keep 5cp rip up

keep rake up

keep savage roar

use shred to get CPs

TF whenever off CD

berserk whenever off CD (usualy in the start of the encounter)

FB if rip is > 8 sec and savage roar is > 13 sec (almost only during berserk or after some
lucky crits.

A: OP was being a muppet
B:

Mangle > savage roar > rake > shred to 5cp

Seems a little silly. Rake > roar imo. And as for ferocious bite during berserk .. no. Pop it just after it ended while everything should be at max duration. Popping a FB during berserk is just a plain waste.

You don't get the 30% on rake for the whole tick if you don't have roar up before you apply, or the mangle bleed buff for that matter. Mangle 1st, it's the least distinctive starter.

On the FB it's never a waste if everything is up with plenty of time left.

During berserk it is.

During berserk it is.

i have actually never understood this... Tun (feral druid from ensidia) also says in his feral dps guide that it's energy inefficent to FB while berserk.

How can it be a waste if rake, mangle, SR and rip is up? My gear ain't that good (my offspecc, 5,3k gs) but my FB crits in raids is around 22k (no icc buff). That's around double shred damage

please enlighten me

There is no rotation. It's a priority system.

[The Cat]

Ferocious bite doesn't benefit from the lessened energy cost. You could do three shreds for 63 energy or one ferocious bite for like 65. It just wouldn't make sense. Bite at the end of zerk if you can.

[shadowrune]

it got something to do with FBing in beserk drains half your energi or more cause the execution ability from fb is not halved in beserk so you waste enough energi for liek 4 more shread using 1 fb

[axxey]

This is actually dependant on when you bite.

You can still bite at minimum energy, even during berserk, just everything over minimum energy and up to 30 extra is a huge loss as there's no 1/2 energy berserk cost on the excess energy use.

[The Cat]

Well if there is a time other than at the very end of berserk where you can get a minimum energy bite off ur using zerk wrong.

[Alski]

After 9 seconds in berzerking. you can safely get a minimum energy bite, but most people wont advise it.

I meant to suggest instead of Robin's mangle > roar > rake do a mangle > rake > roar. I personally feel more safe this way specially at the start of a fight when positioning / adds ( LDW / Putri / Valithra etc ) having extra time on roar gives me a little more cushion to move in.

FB is never good over 35 energy.....the extra energy xfer to dmg is not as good as doing a shred.....if u have no energy at the end of berserk...with 5 cp.....13 sec on SR and 8+ sec on rip....then FB as soon as u hit 35 energy and continue on with ur rotation......if SR or rip ever drop because of FB ( unless at the end of a fight were rip is wasted) then the FB was a dps drop

[Deleted]

As said before, FB during berserk is fine IF you do it at minimum energy (=18 energy). Since you don't waste any double energy then.

[shadowrune]

so jsut keep spamming shread at 5 cp in beserkif everything is running with alot of time still or what?

And your entire first Rake is 'wasted' cos of the lack of the +30% buff.
