Feral Druid 6.2

Recommended Posts

In 4.2.1 you say that Moonfire is applied with energy.  This is only true if you take the Lunar Inspiration talent.  Also, for pure single target, you don't want to take LI.

That should not be in there, it must be a left-over from when I had the level 100 content included. Removing! Thanks.

1. Single Target Rotation

 

Thrash is not of benefit to use, even with Omen of Clarity.

 

2. Multiple Target Rotation

 

Only use Thrash is the targets will live long enough for the bleed to expire.

 

4.1

No ability gives more then 1 combo point.  This is only affected by Primal Fury in which direct damage crits add an additional combo point.

 

4.2.1

Thrash should not be used for single target.

 

4.2.7

Please split this into two sections that are Boss HP>25% and BossHP<25%

>25%

Only use FB when at 5 cp and 50 energy

<25%

Strive to use FB at 5 cp and 50 energy but if Rip will fall, any cp or energy combo works.

 

4.3.1/2

TF can be used during Berserk now.  It is not always optimal to use TF before Berserk.  There is no need to wait to use Berserk so long as TF will come off cooldown within half of Berserks duration.

So the guide says bleeds snapshot and then they don't. Update the snapshot section if you would. Please and thank you.

Hello,

 

I think it's mistake in gems. Red and yellow gems are switched :-)

Thank you. I've implemented (most of) your suggestions.

 

So the guide says bleeds snapshot and then they don't. Update the snapshot section if you would. Please and thank you.

The guide still talks about bleeds snapshotting because they still do snapshot. They just don't snapshot your stats (like they used to), they do still snapshot your buffs such as Tiger's Fury and Savage Roar, and come level 100 they'll also snapshot Bloodtalons and Improved Rake.

 

I admit that the way the section was worded was a bit mislead, and it could have caused the impression that stats still affect it. I've amended that.

Droodfocus is out of date, i got it to work but expiriencing many things not working that worked pre 6.0.2 patch. It would be very nice if someone would take it over and keep it updated.

Many ferals are now using a GUI developed in weak auras that gives you very similar information to Droodfocus.

 

It can be found here http://fluiddruid.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5034

I use class timers. You can set custom triggers and etc as well as adjust size. very easy to setup and you can have it track trinket procs too.

Prismatic gem slot should be filled using the blue (rigid) or yellow (smooth) as both give +20 to crit, and not the hybrid haste / crit.

Hi.

 

Something I've just catch up on Live servers. Minor Glyph of Travel recommended on the builds-talents-glyphs page is unattainable at this point. It is learned by a discovery recipe using the new WoD ink, so noone will be able to craft it before WOD launches.

 

Given that most of the guide seems targeted to current live lvl 90 capped game, its a bit odd recommending an unnatainable glyph. Under the minor glyph section, I would withdraw the Glyph of Travel (or weite a note stating that it is indeed very nice, but unnatainable until WOD ). And also I would add glyph of Aquatic Form. Pretty situational, but a nice improvement for some very aquatic environments.

 

Kris

 

P.S. The same applies to the Druid Guardian Bear tanking guide.

The stat priorities are confusing as there are no weights, but I think Enchant Gloves - Major Agility (+10) or Enchant Gloves - Greater / Superior Haste (+11) would be better than strength and mastery.

Stat weights vary per individual and gear set.  Therefore, they cannot be expressed and taken as gospel by everyone.

 

Enchant Gloves - Major Agility is a level 100 enchant.  For now, the best would be mastery, then haste.

 

 

what about glyph of savagery¿

What about it?

What about it?

 

"Glyph of Savage Roar causes you to gain a wow_icon_ability_druid_skinteeth.jpg Savage Roar (as though cast with 5 Combo Points) each time you use wow_icon_ability_druid_disembowel.jpg Rake or wow_icon_spell_shadow_vampiricaura.jpg Shred while wow_icon_ability_druid_prowl.jpg Prowling. If you are using wow_icon_spell_druid_incarnation.jpg Incarnation: King of the Jungle, then this glyph is essentially mandatory, but otherwise you can skip it. "

 

If we can skip Glyph of savage roar because nowadays we all pick Soul of the forest as level 60 talent, Glyph of Savagery could be a nice alternative isn't it? Or is the 10% penalty too big?

I've removed the Strength Enchant suggestion, but the Mastery one remains ideal.

Glyph of Savagery requires WoD.

Ok, I am totally confused with the stats priority on Ferals, and quite frankly I have been for years. When I follow exactly was it recommended, I have virtually no energy regen what so ever, so I spend long periods waiting to use my attacks because I don't have enough energy for any of them to be used. This blows my DPS through the floor, bleeds or no.

 

I have taken to checking out the Armories of some of the top end Feral in the world and running in the high end guilds. In each and EVERY case they all have haste in their gems or gear. Prior to 6.0.2 most had nearly 25% haste on average. I remember several expac's ago being informed that Ferals take more swings per attack than most other melee dps. As I recall, it was three swings to every one swing for other melee. This may no longer be the case, I do not know.

 

What I do know, is that if I follow exactly what is recommended, I cannot get any real DPS... In fact, prior to this patch, I managed to build my haste up to approximately 20%, and my DPS skyrocketed. It was still not the best, but a lot of that was a matter of gear, and trying to get some kind of base rotation to work from, but I was making progress.

 

Checking the profile of Stenhadli, who runs with Midwinter and has contributed to info on Icy-Veins, I notice that nearly all of the orange gems that he has socketed are either Haste or Haste/Crit, even though the info at the bottom of the page shows that he does not have any Haste.

 

I am tired of taking one or two swings and then not being able to do anything because the energy is so slow to regen, and the only way, to my understanding to resolve this is to give Haste some consideration in the priorities besides being at the bottom of the list. Will someone PLEASE explain this too me...How are you keeping your regen up if you have NO haste, and if you do have Haste, how much do you have? As it is, I am leaning towards stacking my Orange gems with either pure haste or haste/crit, because I see no other means to generate the energy at a reasonable level for me to get any DPS worth anything.

First, I would like to recommend posting in the Druid section of the forum so you can get some more personalized results.  That can be found here.

 

Feral has never had very good energy regen and through its existence has only focused on haste twice (for a brief time in ICC when Armor Penetration capping was relevant and with RoR...however aiming for a mastery proc).  It is a spec that is about planning and using a secondary resource (combo points).  You need to be patient and properly pool your energy.

 

The stat priority laid out in the guide can be a bit confusing.  While each player/gear set will be different, you generally want:

agi>crit>haste=mastery

 

This is because bleeds are no longer the majority of our damage.  The best way to recover energy is to use the Soul of the Forest talent and have optimal usage of Tiger's Fury.

 

-I hope this helped.  If you have further questions, feel free to post them or pm me.

Because your tier 6 talents (gained at level 90) do not help boost your performance in your primary role. They are there to help you perform other roles, to support your theme of being a hybrid. So, in the case of Heart of the Wild, they allow you to perform other roles better (such as tanking, healing, or doing ranged DPS).

      Today's hotfixes are still very Plunderstorm-heavy, but we do get fixes for more achievement-related mount issues and PvP catch-up, in addition to the limited time event's adjustments.
      March 27 (Source)
      Achievements
      Fixed bugs causing mounts related to A World Awoken to be unavailable, including Bestowed Ottuk Vanguard, Bestowed Trawling Mammoth, Bestowed Thunderspine Packleader, Bestowed Sandskimmer, Bestowed Ohuna Spotter, Coralscale Salamanther, Stormtouched Bruffalon, and Taivan. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up. Plunderstorm
      The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before. There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder. Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall. Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly. Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell. The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).
    • By Staff
      Well that didn't take long! We found out someone had broken the 700,000 Plunder milestone yesterday evening, and we're already done with the full amount now! Soularpower_ managed to grind it out a couple of hours ago in duos, and grabbed the Plunderkind achievement, so huge congratulations! It's been a week and a day since the event was released, and despite there being plenty of Plunder drop buffs since then it's still great to see someone get it all done already. 


      Unsurprisingly, the first thing Soularpower_ after reaching that goal was... play more Plunderstorm! He's actually still at it if now you want to check the stream out.

      Here's our first post-patch look at the Mythic+ log rankings. While the patch didn't really touch any of the DPS or tank specs, there's still some movement there, especially in the raw DPS chart. Healers got some solid changes in the patch, and the definitely had an effect.
      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 percentiles are extremely stable, which makes sense since the patch didn't really bring any significant changes for DPS specs. We have to go down to number 7 to see the first bit of movement, as Destruction moves two up, leaving its fellow Warlock down in 9th, as Arms gets between them, gaining 3 spots. Havoc closes out the top 10 three down, and right behind it we find the newly buffed Elemental moving three up. While Augmentation is being properly calculated, we still find an Evoker in the bottom 3, as Devastation drops one down and takes Marksmanship's place.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      It took Shadow a little longer to get into the top in the generalist bracket, as we find it in 3rd now, pushing Outlaw down one. Balance also moves up, 2 spots into 6th, as it and Arms take advantage of Havoc's fall. The Demon Hunter finds itself 3 down in 9th, while Fury remains stable at the very end of the top 10.

      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.
      While Outlaw remains at the top, pretty much everything's changing beneath it. Shadow and Retribution joined forces and moved two up together, breaking into the top 3. Fire is also on the rise, gaining 3 spots, and right behind it we find another big leaper, as Arms moves a whopping 5 spots up.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      There's actually some solid movement here, as we see Paladin take 2nd away from DK and Druid take Monk down, with Warrior remaining in last place and DH being far ahead of the pack.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Healers had some significant changes with the patch, but it hasn't stopped Monk from remaining at the top. Druid moves into 2nd, taking Discipline Priest down a peg, and it seems the Holy Priest patch reworks helped it out, as it gains a spot in 4th.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      In Dragonflight Season 4, Awakened/Fated raids will be on a weekly rotation.
      Upon accessing the Adventure Guide and navigating to the Raids section, you'll notice a green gem icon beside the raid that's Awakened for the current week.

      When a raid is Awakened, bosses are more powerful and loot drops are upgraded to a higher item level. The upcoming season revisits the Fated system introduced in Shadowlands Season 4.
    • By Staff
      We've already taken a look at all the items coming to the Trading Post next month, as the Season 4 PTR revealed them, but now let's see them in movement as well! MrGM has detailed everything coming in April, from the awesome Dreadwake mount to a pretty cool polearm, some new capes, and all the other pirate-themed items. Let's take a look.
