Ok let’s talk feral mythic+ dps

Classes Druid

I’m making my way into M+ on this guy and I just can’t seem to get comfortable with my role or the rotation (for clarity I usually end up floating around 12-15s so it’s not my first foray). Couple questions hopefully you all can help with:

  • it looks like primal wrath is mandatory as it’s the only way to spread aoe and has no hit cap. Now is that just once to spread rip? Or is that my main finisher now at 3+ targets? (Or 4?)

  • assume I use rake as a builder to get more dots rolling but once they are up, do I use swipe to build or thrash?

  • is there any value in using thrash for the dot on 1-2 targets?

It feels very busy trying to frantically keep dots up manually - am I doing this wrong? Appreciate the tips!

So wait are you saying your doing 12-15s now and don’t know how to maximize your damage? This post on a 50 druid is throwing me off if you’re talking M+

What? No. I am saying I am typically pretty good at running mythics but have a bunch of questions because I am new to feral. Did the world tour this week and hit up a +2 but just feel busy and not useful (dps seems ok but it’s a hectic mess).

  1. It’s just for the dots. The impact damage is a small fraction of what FB is. It will end up being 4-6% of your overall damage done.
  2. Rake spreading is still good (if stuff will live to tick, same rule as all bleeds), but once it’s running, swipe stuff at 2+ unless building for BT.
  3. For the dot, no. Thrash needs a bunch of targets to be useful. Swipe on a bleeding target hits harder than a full duration Thrash + its impact damage.

Actually for taste for blood conduit you need thrash up even if your on one mob.

Nope. The 2.8% increase in damage to Bite from having Thrash up doesn’t outweigh the DPE of Shred in ST.

Did the math with Flapz a couple weeks ago. Your need to maintain a Bite about every 7 seconds (iirc) in order for Thrash to be worth it, even with the Taste for Blood conduit

Holy crap. How much dps loss is it for thrashing on single target?
