Theorycrafting actually began with StarCraft and was transitioned to WoW with the advent of the game. WoW theorycrafting gained its popularity and notoriety around the time The Burning Crusade expansion launched. The main focus cheap wow gold of Theorycrafting was initially maximizing DPS and minimizing downtime, also known as Min/Maxing. It has spread to all aspects of WoW and created many heated debates between crafters and players alike. Too many times theorycraft becomes a mish mash of information overload and conflicting ideas., G4 K- R) _/ Z7 H* i8 J; c+ b/ _. h

Top DPS feral players rely on skill and quick reaction times to crank out every last hundredth of a point of damage to routinely top the meters. Attention to detail and maximum focus are needed to get the most out of this spec but like every other WoW class you are only as strong as your numbers will allow. Maximizing your stats from gear and your talent choices will bridge the gap between average and outstanding.; Q* L$ Y* ^; X. d* e

This is the build most cat druids should use for end game raiding, it maximizes your effectiveness against raid bosses and still allows you to be viable on trash. For players who like to do AoE damage or mostly do five player dungeons where you kill in packs use this build. Feral tanks will want to use this build to gain the most effectiveness.

Feral DPS gemming and gearing is a very much a balancing act, which is ironic cheap wow gold because your damage rotation is a balancing act as well. The two main stats to gem for are agility and armor penetration but here is the tricky part. If you are below 200 armor penetration with your current gear then gem for agility. If you are between 200 and 1230 ArP then gem ArP. If you go over 1230 ArP in gear alone, then go back to agility. If you are lucky enough to have Grim Toll then you can substitute 620 for 1230 in the above formulas.

A couple of things to try and remember while learning this priority list,buy wow gold, don't get confused by the statement about using Savage Roar at full combo points if Rip is already active, it never matters how many combo points you have, if SR is about to drop then you need to pop it again. Also if you are following my glyph recommendations and take Glyph of Shred, Shred will extend your rip duration an extra two seconds so if Rake and Rip are about to drop then use Shred and allow rake to drop for the time it takes you XXX to refresh. If you are still struggling to learn this rotation then you can pick up the Feral by Night mod wow gold available at all of your favorite mod outlets and use it as a teaching tool, but be forewarned,buy wow gold, many players view it as a borderline cheat./ }; @% P1 p: i7 S

A feral Druid has the luxury of the most leather itemization of the three but the drawback of not being able to grab anything other than leather unlike balance or restoration. As a feral DPS always look for high agility and high armor penetration as they currently will be the biggest boons to you damage output. As a feral tank dodge, agility and strength are important. |
