Thank you for taking the time to post this. I've been searching the web for any type of tips for good, burst damage and a proper attack sequence for Feral Kitties. Hopefully my finger won't hurt as much from my old Mangle spamming. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you for taking the time to post this.

Currently about 3300ish ap, 41crit, and use Everbloom idol for raiding situations for most bosses. Ravage = very high threat burst, best used for.. well.. grinding. Pounce, Mangle, and shred, keeping Mangle up at all times, and ripping if the mob is above 70% hp rocks for damage, keeping your threat low, and all that... though shred crits upwards of 4k... and that is a hefty bit of threat... FFF is used... well.. It tends to only come into play on bosses, and otherwise it wastes a GCD, when you try to fit in a Mangle, 3Shred, Mangle, Rip, 2Shred, and Repeat. Keep up the good work mate. Good Hunting. Very nice post, bear.

My druid is my 3rd lvl 70 my other two are hunter/rogue and I paid very close attention to shot rotation combo points and other things to get the maximum dps out of those classes. I thought I was doing a good job on my druid until I read this. Not once did i notice the 30% increase in shred dmg from mangle... I felt really dumb after reading this. Keep up the great posts.

Its close (.2sec close I would estimate) but you can definately get that last attack off if OoC procs early.

THANKS! Ok, for you people saying your attack sequence is
/prowl
/pounce (improved)
/fff
/mangle
/shred
/shred

or pounce, fff, shred X3 like melnayo said he does.

With the GCD, and a 4.0 second stun, this will only allow you to get off…
pounce-1.5 GCD + Shred/Mangle-1.5= 3 seconds of your pounce used up. Leaving you with only 1.0 seconds to choose 1 last attack (+1 with OOC proc).

I am no theorycrafter by any means but it doesnt seem reasonable.

Great guide by the way, i shall no longer use claw. THANKS!
