Motley Crue: The Guild

Style 1 - Consistant damage

Stack as much Armor Penetration as you can up to 650 with either of the armor penetration trinkets. Once you get over 200 use the http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40713 (until the idol from the colliseum) and socket all fo your gems to Armor penetration.

Style 2 - Roller coaster up and down damage

Stack agility/crit in every spot/socket you possibly can but still take an armor penetration trinket

Use the http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39757 until one of the agility idols drops.

Priority list as Kitty's do not have an actual rotation

Keep Faerie fire up at all times
Keep Savage Roar up at all times - duration depends on combo points - see below
Keep Mangle up at all times ie every 12 seconds - Unless there is an arms warrior or another feral druid
Keep Rake up at all times ie use every 9 seconds
Keep Rip up at all times - Duration depends on combo points
For the rest of the time (should you have any) Shred until you get as many combo points as needed
When you have 10 seconds left on Savage Roar AND Rip and you have some combo points - Ferocious Bite - Do not do this if you do not have plently of time left. The damage done by the bite does not add up to the damage lost by losing Roar or Rip

It is not essential to wait until 5 combo points for Savage roar. i usually hit mine after 2 combo points as I have 50% crit rating and combo points come at a decent rate. If your crit is in the 35-45% range, I would go with 3 combo points minimum so you have time to get Rip up with the Roar buff.

Remember to use Bezerk during times that you will not take aggro from the tank. either wait until tank has a lot of aggro or do it when no aggro is present.

Hey Cow. I've resumed lvling a druid alt recently. He is specced feral this time and lvl 53 currently. I have a few questions:

1) is it possible to put Shred and Claw into one macro so that it Shred when possible and Claw otherwise?
2) how do cat druids AoE? I can only find Swipe (Cat) but it requires lvl 71.....
3) I need an addon that shows the energy bar and combo points at middle of the screen. Any suggestion?

Cat's do not aoe until 71. You cna always go into bear and swipe spam but you will run out of rage pretty fast. Another option is also to pop out of cat and use hurricane.

A good addon to move your bars is move anything. You can move them wherever you would like and make them bigger if you want. You can also just use power auras and make the circle bigger and bigger with more combo points.

As far as claw goes, if you are lvl 50 you should be all feral and get Mangle. Once you have Mangle mobs die so fast. I don't know if you can do a macro if you are behind a target or in front of them though.

ic... maybe I should respec moonkin...

Thanks a lot Cow!

[edit]oh silly me, I've just read the tooltip of Mangle more carefully.... I got the impression that Mangle was only for the debuff and didn't realize that it also does damage, actually more damage than Claw. So I should totally ignore Claw and spam Mangle when soloing...

Yessir, Mangle is ; calw. Once you have Mangle though, you need to start taking Resto talents. While lvling get all of furor, then nauralist and omen of clarity. Once you do that go back into the Feral tree.

It is viable with the right gear to go boomkin. I wouldnt do it though as you don´t get enough sp items until you get to Outlands. Things die so fast with kitty and you are healing yourself as you fight if you got improved Leader of the Pack. Make sure you also have nurturing instincts while you are lvling as you can cast an isntant cast regrowth (after 5 point finisher) and pop back into cat for extra heals from the hot.

ic... Thanks again Cow!
