What do you mean Ashamane's Frenzy scales with targets in front of you? It does not deal cleave, only damage to your target.

Some crossed wires on my part after taking it over, should be fixed up now, sorry about that!

*Unlike many other specs, Item Level is not the deciding factor on your Feral Relics. As an example, a IconRazor Fangs Relic can potentially be worth a full 25 Item Levels of stats depending on the trait it is competing against. I will list trait powers below.*

 

Fixed.  Excellent guide, truly. Thank you for the efforts you guys take for this information.

What I was showing in my correction is the incorrect grammar repeatedly used in the guide. I mean no offense, but saying "worth 10 item levels worth" is redundant. Should say "worth 10 item levels" throughout.

Theres a spot in this guide, in the Best in Slot area, where you compare 2 cloaks to eachother. 1 cloak has haste on it, but you dont mention that you gain +50% extra haste on the cloak from what i can see. This devalues the cloak a bit, it should be of higher value i think.

 

Is there a way to represent the haste stat weight with the +50% calculated into the weight?

The stat weights generated for Haste account for the additional Haste as far as I am aware (as otherwise it would be a pretty low stat), whilst I could have done the calculation with that in I think it would be just as confusing since the weight would need to be altered.

Hi, is there a minimum haste a feral should aim for, like a soft limit? Assuming haste affects frequency of omen procs?

When comparing item level vs trait, Rip as being worth 25 item levels, rake as 15 etc... Is the item level the amount of item level your weapon will gain, or the item level of the relic itself?

  • Bloodtalons Icon Bloodtalons causes Healing Touch Icon Healing Touch casts to make the next two melee abilities (used within 30 seconds) deal 50% increased damage for their full duration (which is of notable relevance if they are Bleeds).

ability link says 40% damage, guide says 50%

This appears to be a tooltip error, but everything I can see in-game and through game files shows as 50% which is why it's listed as such:

That's in reference to the item level your relic will gain

No, you should be aiming to follow the priority there, no breakpoints are there for haste with stats.

This is absolutely a horrible guide. Soul of the forest is far and away a better talent than the massively nerfed savage roar, with incarnation for quick bursts. At no point should you choose the new crappy savage roar. Spend hours beating on dummies before posting this stuff I saw that you chose the damn moonfire over 10% crit and immediately knew that you guys don't have a clue what you're doing. Ferals are very energy heavy now. This reduces the amount of their damage that comes by way of bleeds and making them crap. Stat priority is Agi -> Crit > Vers > Mastery > Haste. You got jagged wounds and bloodtalons right at least.

Please feel free to post sims, maths, logs or any sort of proof of what you are recommending. "Spending hours beating on dummies" is not quite enough. Simply coming here and commenting that the guide is "horrible" will generally lead to your comment being ignored. 

Thanks.

That isn't really the right way to go about actually opening a discourse about what's in here. If you can provide actual, objective evidence of your findings outside of dummy tests to disprove the overwhelming majority of informaiton out there for Feral as to why you are right, and we are all wrong, then I am more than willing to look at it, this diatribe however is completely unnecessary and very aggressive.

I'm a bit confused as to why the Stat Priority page says Agility > Critical Strike > Versatility = Mastery > Haste "Without Incarnation talent" but then in the BiS gear page you state Agility > Mastery > Critical Strike > Versatility > Haste. At what point does that stat weighting change? And how heavy is this stat weighting prior to reaching BiS (in terms of point values)? Would like to get some more in-depth breakdown of these values so I can work out if I really should be taking stat X over stat Y whilst gearing up and not having to run a simulation every time.

That seems to have been updated from an old file, I'll sort that out, it should be Agility > Mastery > Crit > Vers > Haste (since bleeds have such a profound effect with artifact traits and the like).

Lol i dont think ive ever facepalmed harder than when i read this :(

 

If those talents and weights are doing more DPS for you, it is simply because youre playing the spec completely wrong. The fundamental mechanics of Feral favor Savage Roar. Moonfire on single target ends up being around 10% of your total damage when maintained with 100% uptime, it is far better than Blood Scent for min/max. 

 

Sounds like a learn2play issue.

Okey so in Gebuz's moonkin guide he says the following: 

Quote

 

Restoration Affinity

The passive healing compares pretty well to Guardian affinity’s passive damage reduction. For Guardian affinity to be better, you need to take 30% of your maximum HP in damage every 5 second on average. Gaining access to Swiftmend is pretty significant, as it heals for about ~15% of your total life. During extreme burst it heals for less than Frenzied Regeneration, but it only costs 2 GCDs compared to the 4 of Frenzied Regeneration. For consistent damage, Swiftmend is always better than Frenzied Regeneration. Recommended.

 

 

Obviously you don't want to use swiftmend in cat form so it's irrelevant but if you are not going to step in as a tank in dire situations then passively i would say that the restoration affinity is a better choice survivability wise..  Anyway most druids will most likely just use balance affinity for added range.

^ actually i had a brain lag and can't edit, moonkin has to leave his form to cast swiftmend just like feral so it's the same deal

I have a bit of a different opener rotation, what do you think about this?

 

Precast:

Healing Touch

Prowl

(Dash)

 

Engaged:

Rake - 1 CP

Lunar Inspiration - 2 CP

Shred - 3/4 CP

Tiger's Fury

Berserk

Shred - Until 5 CP

5 CP Savage Roar

Shred - Until 2 CP

Healing Touch

Ashamane's Frenzy

5 CP Rip

Continue ~

 

The opener posted in the guide will get the 5 CP Rip off much faster, but I think the initial burn of 40 energy on the 1 CP Savage Roar is a little wasteful because you will end up having to spend another 40 in the future to replenish that Savage Roar. It also doesn't end up using Bloodtalons proc on the Rip.

The opener in the guide will take 4 GCDs to be able to 5 CP Rip. This opener will take between 8 to 10 GCDs based on Shred crit RNG. Which do you guys think is more optimal?

Here's my problem with this, every time i use a 5 combo point finisher i get the talon;s proc. It is pretty hard to not use the proc after because i have zero combo points left when i get the proc. Am i missing something here? 

 

Also, could you answer this? 

Can someone please list a Pawn string? I am so confused here. On one hand you have,

Noxxic: Agi (12.8)>Crit (10.58)>Vers (9.08)>Haste (6.08)

wowhead: Agi (1)> Mast (.64)>Crit (.63)>Vers (.60)>Haste (.50)

Mrrobot: Adi (13.51)>Crit (8)>Mast (7.34)>Vers (6.56)>Haste (5.4)

What is it? I am using the Savage Roar talent.

Thanks for any help.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
