What does feral need?

Buffing up front damage to the point of really making a difference would only serve to remove Rip and rake from our single target rotation.

Tell me you don’t know how to play feral without telling me you don’t know how to play feral.

Like….wow.

WOW!!!

I’m almost speechless.

If one dot deals more damage than the other, that’s not a reason to stop using the other dots. They can all be applied and deal damage at the same time.

You understand this right???
(Clearly not)

/facepalm.

The only damage plateau the direct damage from thrash has its its DPE vs shred. Which, currently…. is light years away from ever reaching that point.

Hypothetically speaking though, say we were to buff thrash’s damage beyond shred. All they would need to do is give thrash a cooldown (12-15 sec).
Simple.
This prevents the situation that arose in early MoP where Rake’s direct damage was greater than shred and we just spammed rake.

People who understand math and can read our mastery tool tip would already know this.

5 minutes ago you didn’t know what mastery did.

Make our finishers cost zero, or reduced, energy

Soul of the Forest

Already have that.

@Öloo-area-52

let our white swings generate energy

Omen of Clarity

Already have that too.

@Öloo-area-52

Simply buff’ing the upfront damage of wrath or primal wrath wouldn’t work

Sure it would.

Are you just bitter that I suggested it?

@Öloo-area-52

Ion already said he does not like classes having to use AoE abilities on single target rotations

…. And yet they keep forcing us to use thrash.

@Öloo-area-52

An ability like warrior’s Whirlwind

If I wanted to feel like a warrior. I’ll play a warrior.

@Öloo-area-52

This would allow us to AoE burst on quick dying targets with FB

So….

@Tical-shattered-hand

Buff PW direct damage.

Yup. Already covered that.
