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.

      Now's the perfect time to unlock your missing Plunderstorm rewards with doubled Renown gains until April 30th!
      (Source)
      Hoist the sails and batten the hatches; a Plundersurge begins this week with weekly maintenance!
      The Plunderstorm event is ending on April 30, but until then, pirating players can double the amount of Renown earned from all sources of Plunder by taking the Plundersurge. 
      Set Sail for the Plunderstorm
      Plunge into a challenging battle that earns excellent rewards for World of Warcraft® Modern and Classic progression realms. All you have to do is survive…and plunder. Can't seem to stay in the realm of the living? No problem. Plunderers still gain progression that helps unlock new rewards.
      Each match is 10-15 minutes long and has 60 players per match, with the winner being the last one standing. Level up and acquire new abilities and spells by killing creatures and enemies, looting chests, and avoiding the encroaching storm.
      A Pirate's Life for You
      The Arathi Highlands is the backdrop for this pirating adventure, and you'll have plenty of challenges to keep you busy.
      Prepare to Plunder
      Plunderstorm is perfect for pick-up and play! No expansion purchase is required, but a World of Warcraft Subscription or Game Time is needed to participate in a high-stakes, play-by-the-seat-your-pants match. This means that Classic players can also participate in a plethora of plundering fun by simply installing the modern (Live) World of Warcraft client:
      Launch the Battle.net desktop app. Click the World of Warcraft icon at the top. If the icon is missing, click on All Games and select the game from the list. On top of the Install button is a drop-down menu. Confirm that you wish to install World of Warcraft. Click Install. Once you’re in modern WoW:
      Select Plunderstorm2 from the World of Warcraft game menu to get into the action. Create a new, ready-to-play character—player characters are unique to this event. You don't need previous knowledge of races and classes to chart your course for mayhem. Choose between Solo or—to play with your Battle.net friends—make a group from the Plunderstorm character screen and select Duo. If queued for a Duo without a partner, you'll be automatically matched with one. You can also access chat, customize characters, and see the queue from the Character Select Screen. Action Bar and Abilities, Worthy Mates
      Discover lootable spells, abilities, and upgrades as you plunder treasure chests and defeat enemies. Upon picking up, spells and abilities are automatically added to your Action Bar, with two slots dedicated to offensive skills and two for utilities such as leaps, speed boosts, and crowd-control.
      Some abilities are more action-based and require good positioning and player targeting. Have fun discovering and experimenting with different combinations to find what works for you.
      Upgrades to Your Spells and Abilities
      Your spells and abilities can be upgraded by discovering higher-quality versions from treasure chests or finding the same ability elsewhere and stacking it to Rank 3 (epic). There are also plenty of plundering opportunities—various treasure chests with different rarities that harbor all types of abilities are stashed around the map. Always stay on the lookout for better loot and upgrades.
      Spectating Spectre
      Upon death, keep watching the match from the perspective of your teammates (if they're still alive) or other players, including their loadout.
      Rewards A-Plenty for Plundering Pirates
      Players can earn cosmetics, pets, titles, and mounts as they progress through the reward track. These include the majestic Polly Roger parrot mount, Bubbles the crab pet, swashbuckling cosmetics, 750 Trader's Tender from "Keg Leg's Crew" for use on the Trading Post, and more. 3 A victory is not required to claim the spoils of a well-fought fight.
      To view Renown and apply the Plunderstorm weapon and transmog customizations, change titles, or summon pets, swabbies can click on Da'kash Grimledger standing directly in front of the spawn point in the Plunderstorm lobby.
      Customization unlocks are simultaneously unlocked for Dragonflight characters and can be found in your Collection. Each Renown level unlock is noted in colored text under the reward name, whether the reward is for Dragonflight, Plunderstorm, or Classic.

      Check out our first look at MoP Remix coming in Patch 10.2.7!
      When Patch 10.2.7 goes live, you will be greeted by the following screen, informing you about the MoP Remix event and its objectives. There will be a button that lets you create your Timerunner (character).


      Similar to Plunderstorm, there will be an icon on the character screen for MoP Remix with the number of days remaining.

      Timerunners will be marked with a special icon next to their name on the character selection screen.

      When you first enter the game, you'll start with a short intro quest on the Timeless Shore. Your character will be affected with the Pandaria: Remix buff.

      The quest intro features a few unique quests before you start replaying MoP from the very beginning. It introduces you to Bronze, the event's currency used to buy items and upgrade gear.  
      Throughout your journey you will come across some very unique gear just like this cloak (Cloak of Infinite Potential) that permanently increases in power (Timerunner's Advantage).

      Your char will have access to two important Timerunning abilities.
      Extract Gem - Extract a gem from one of your socketed items. Unraveling Sands - Summon Unraveling Sands that transforms your unwanted items into Bronze. Gems offer a lot of customization in MoP Remix and you want to extract them with Extract Gem, because placing a new gem on top of a socketed one will make you lose it.
      If you come across unneeded gear, you can scrap it for Bronze with Unraveling Sands.

      Things seem to be stabilizing a little, at least at the very top, as our DK-Rogue trio remains solid this week. There's plenty of movement below that though, so let's dive in.
      Note: We are using Normalized scores instead of raw DPS for the Warcraft Logs rankings. The u.gg rankings at the bottom are raw DPS. Normalized scores take into account the outlier boss fights where certain specs could stack massive DPS (due to the nature of the fight, whether it's AoE spam or something else), which would then affect their overall score for the whole raid.
      Mythic
      Overall Damage 95th Percentile
      It seems we have a stable chart at the top, as the DK-Rogue sandwich is exactly where we left them last week! We do see a big mover right after that, however, as Elemental jumps three spots up into 4th, pushing Retribution down one. Fury remains stable in 6th, followed by Frost Mage, which gains a spot at the expense of Outlaw, which is down three. The three A's are still sticking together, with Arms, Assassination and Arcane all moving one up, and the Rogue moving ahead of the Mage at the end of the top 10.

      95th percentile Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Overall Damage All Percentiles
      It's Survival's week this time around, as the Hunter bursts up nine spots into 7th, with the top 6 remaining the same. Elemental rises here as well in 9th, gaining three spots, as Havoc drops two at the end of the top 10. Marksmanship joins fellow Hunter Beast Mastery in the bottom 3, taking Feral's place.
      All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
      Unholy moves to the top of the pack in the direct damage charts, just barely taking Subtlety down. Survival makes an appearance here as well, moving six spots up into 6th, as Assassination and Shadow push Balance out of the top 10.
      All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Heroic

      All percentiles Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.

      U.GG Raw Mythic 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. This chart is for Mythic only.
      Arms is on the way up, gaining three spots in 6th and pushing Havoc down one, as the Fyr'alaths start compounding here as well. Fire moves three up in 9th, as Frost DK drops those same three spots just outside the top 10.

      As many expected, it seems everyone's favorite farm won't be making it to Remix: Mists of Pandaria, as spotted by TheYamagato.
      This makes perfect sense, since it's a limited time event and the farm is a long reputation grind based on daily activities, and just wouldn't really fit with the shorter runtime. The farm itself is still there, but the NPCs that start the quests are not, replaced by the new Timerunning ones.       And so we're going to have to skip the farm when 10.2.7 comes along, but hey, it's still there on regular old retail if you really feel the need!
