Rip dmg seems kinda low?

So Rip dmg still seems kinda low for me. I’ve buffed the crap out of it with talents and still single target dmg is sooo lacking behind FB. Granted I don’t have BT yet since with the build I’ve made can’t have it until 70. But that overall will just make FB stronger as well. It’s just a little disheartening because I heard feral is going back to revolving around bleeds and not a bite bot for DF but I don’t see it.

Here’s ^ the build I’m going to run/made. It’s mainly for pvp so for pve going to throw around 1 or 2 points but overall still the same (other than making a straight aoe build)

What do my fellow druids think? Buff Rip dmg?

Not a good PvP build. You need to pick up Feral Frenzy in PvP, as well as Brutal Slash. Check out some youtube vids and look at their builds and play around with those.

Also, Rip damage is fine if properly managed with bloodtalons.

I really don’t think they can buff rip damage. With primal wrath our damage would sky rocket. Bite will probably always out do rip in single target.

But with rip and rake you want to put them on as many targets as possible. Do that and the damage will start rolling in.

The build is good for pvp. I’m having a blast with it. I don’t copy other players and a very exp feral lol.

I’m not talking about AOE. I’m talking about single target. Feral has a very simple AOE build right now for pve. They could nerf primal wrath rip. Like if rip is on more than 2-3 targets the dmg gets reduced. Ez fix.

Lmao is not a test. It’s ok to compare notes.

Eh. I just don’t like copying off other people. Always went with my own builds and stats. I know of the other stuff but choose my own. Nothing wrong with it xD.

Over the course of an arena game Rip and Rake will be your top damage over bite. Bite does offer more burst, yes, however it can’t continue to deal damage as Rake and Rip does if you’re pulling back, going for a CC, needing to use CPs on Maim, needing to sit bear, ect. If bite is still your top damage you’re facing people who either don’t target you, you’re letting your bleeds drop or you’re not supporting your team with stuns and CC (and I see you’ve chosen clone so CC is something you’re looking to do).

You’re also going to be buffing your rip/rake damage in DF with easier access to things like Swarm and Circle (if you’re not using the legendary currently).

Incarn is generally awful especially since it really doesn’t offer much on an already long 3 min CD. Hoping they decide to revamp it or reduce Berserk’s CD to get more value out of it, but you would likely be better off choosing something different for the moment.

Incarn is amazing right now lol

The only way I can see them buffing Rip, is indirectly, through the Sabretooth talent. Maybe make it increase the main target hit’s Rip damage drastically, that way it wouldn’t affect Primal Wrath’s damage output.

The main thing is though, you only Rip once, then bite many times. It’s natural the Bite will outdamage Rip imo. If you become a dot class, bites need to pack far less of a punch, and tbh I love seeing those big crits.
