Mangle is absurdly underpowered. The upfront damage of rake is higher not even counting the dot. When you’re solo trying to do stuff it’s literally better to spam rake instead of mangle. This is actually absurd. Mangle needs to be buffed.
Or
Add “shred can be used anywhere”. Rogues haven’t had to worry about being behind a target for backstab all season as mutilate could be used anywhere and now that it’s been nerfed rogues have a rune that allow backstab not in the back.
Big cats hunt by going for the neck not by backstabbing. Add shred can be used anywhere to the mangle rune or something.
Also we need a spammable finisher. Especially since rip can last for 30+ seconds and SR gets refreshed with the MC set bonus. FB just isn’t good enough. It’s damage per energy is less than shred and therefore not worth using. Buff FB or give us a rune for something else.
You have also changed a lot of other classes overpowered runes into spell books and you gave them additional different runes.
You should have done this with wild strikes. Turn Wild Strikes into a skill book so tanks can use SotF and now you have a free rune slot to give cats a better combo point spender.
