Just checked this out for the upcoming Cata classic. I remember seeing your content back in the day when I mained mage, and now here I am back at it 13 year later lol. Thanks!
This video was very well done. I really liked the way that you showed abilities at the top of the screen to emphasize the order in which you used them.
Nothing better than seeing a glad feral in action. Gives me hope for our spec! Most of this seems common knowledge to be but the tiger's fury affecting bleeds was a new one to me, as I'd been informed it would increase bleed damage - but only for those 6 seconds. As I usually open hard with berserk on targets that could potentially mess me up it was sort of a forgotten ability to me, something I only used when I needed the energy. I know better now, thanks Miir!
Considering how fast my opener goes (on average, 4.7 seconds with globals) I pop tiger's fury before using my Ravage, and it lasts through application of bleeds
Your video was instructive to the max. I really enjoyed the slowmo explanations. I haven't yet been able to do the Cataclysm thing but I am so very looking forward to the changes. Thanks a ton Miir.
only thing i saw in this video is dont cheap out of your charges, when a mage blinks the second time bear charge, enrage, bash works wonders... and vs. a healer( i know you didint cover it) you can damage twist to get max dmg.. so once you dump your energy go to bear and bash(if dr allows) and mangle/maul, then back to cat with energy to use
awesome attention to detail with all of your clarification in the opener description mate, i found it hilarious though how at the end you talked about perfecting the feral rotation, like wow is hard... lolol
Great video! Now there needs to be a whole separate one for correct predatory strike proc usage. I think it brings Feral to the top of classes with a high skill ceiling. You can take this class/spec far with correct arena 1 2 3 and focus macro set up.
Having to know weather to use the proc on a Cyclone, Root, or Heal a team mate at that specific moment in time. While also watching for inturpts with Skull Bash. It's going to be rare to see someone play this spec to it's full potention.. I'd say Similar story for Shaman, Pally, Priest. Anything hybrid that has to also watch for inturpts. But then Feral Druid has a whole other layer of shape shifting and combo points ontop of it all.
Great video, I'd like to see duel videos for 1v1 situations. Your commentary was a great bonus, so many videos are just watch, and listen to rock music :P
@TheZenoid Tiger's Fury also generates energy, and is best used when you're on low energy. After Pounce, you should still have around 60 energy and a FREE Ravage. By the time you use Ravage, you should have about 70 energy, therefore eliminating the need to use Tiger's Fury.
Great video, probably the best i have ever seen on feral druids. Pleeeeeease make a video on fighting mages. I can not seem to close the gap on them before they dps me down with blink having a shorter CD than feral charge
Now thats well made video tutorial (Going through the rotation, showing every ability tooltip and once more showing whole rotation with ability icons, well done.). Now Im starting to wonder if I should go back to feral from boomkin. :) - By the way, how are you binding your keys? I have been having so much problems on getting proper keybinds on my druid that damn.
@Thor55mjollnir Savage Roar can still be used, but Maim will be using at a much higher frequency, plus you should be swapping targets a lot. Check out the link in the description for the complete video. I cover Savage Roar in it.
Very Informative, thank you for posting this. Well spoken and clear. Nice UI too. Did you draw that dark wispy stuff yourself? I especially liked the graphical representation of the order you used the abilities in being synchronized with the audio.
@Thesgfire Well, as of patch 4.2 Savage Roar got a quite significant buff. I preffer to use Savage Roar, if I'm rooted and got Rip on my target. I also use Savage Roar to get a Predatory Strikes proc if I need an instant cyclone, and I'm not in range to Maim, Bite or Rip.
@smokeweedeveryday666 Savage Roar is basically used at the frequency Rogues use Slice and Dice. More specifically, it's basically when you are swapping targets and want to use your combo points, or when you are trying to gamble for a needed Predator's Swiftness proc. White damage is too low in PVP, and with the changes to Savage Roar and the rebalancing of our abilities, it's not a huge concern for a Feral to keep up Savage Roar unless it's at his convenience.
@DennioG I really have no idea why Ferals are saying this, unless it's from a PVE apsect. In PVP I feel like we've gotten a lot more and will definitely be useful in Cataclysm PVP, especially rated battlegrounds (and I'm not just talking flag running)
This guide is just GREAT! Never dreamed of finding a guide this good!!! Just a nub question: will you be able to shred enough to get constand CP's? Cuz i always use mangle as spam :3
Late reply just it was power shifting if I'm not mistaken. You can shift out of form and back in to remove slows and roots. There is also a macro to do this much faster. /Cast !cat form . Or whichever form you want to put there
@Costofwisdom1971 Yeah, not sure what I was thinking when I posted the other one. I just used the same clip and went with it without thinking. Added a few more clips in this one and got it right lol.
Stampede was a great talent to add in :D I like to use Tiger's Fury DIRECTLY before Feral charge so my pounce and rake are magnified, because rip does lots of damage on its own over rake and pounce
I just got reassured with my suppositions that I got after I started to think about new skill rotations. Thanks a lot! :) Btw - could You paste link to your build?
@Qkerk Yup, currently Mastery is amazing for Ferals, and we still have a high chance to crit (50%+) With the resilience change, we're seeing a lot more crits, and because bleeds ignore armor, we're seeing more damage, even with the resilience buff to damage reduction. Overall, it's really fun :3
@MrThewolfy19 Yeah, you definitely want to get out of the habbit. It's going to be tough at first, but you need to have the practice to make your hands comfortable, as well as developing the coordination between your mind and hands. If you try hard, you can adapt over a few days or a few weeks. It's definitely worth learning.
great vid dude, really helped me out. do u have any addon suggestions for pvp? also any ideas as to what gems to use in our slots would be good cos im not sure. thanks
Don't forget to safe your Feral Charge against hunters, elem shamys, locks with set "green base" (dont know the name xD) and mages. Most of them will immediately use their escape ability after the pounce and then you will need a Feral Charge to close the gap. :)
Nice Vid, i have always played Resto Pvp and Feral Tank for Pve, now that resto sucks i wanted to try out Feral and found this rotation very good, thanks !! Restona - Anachronos
@TehZaionara All of my best best stuff and full videos are posted on Skill-Capped, so if you liked this short video it's definitely worth it to check it out.
Hello Miir, I wanna start to play WoW again if Cataclysm starts, my plan was to lvl up a Feral Druid, but I read many Post saying the Feral Druid got Nerfed hard. Do you think a Feral Druid is still good in the Future?
I got a question, i know that tiger's fury increase the damage by all bleeds, but why don't you use it when your low on energy so you gain the 60 energy when using it? or is it useless to spec?
@Miir heey i dident know about your videos i am lvling a druid to hes 40 now x) but should this work the same way like it does on 80? if you could reply that would be awsome :)
Hey Miir. very nice video :) watched you and zybak doin duble feral fun :) was so funny. the pic at 0:10 !? where can i find that one, can you give me a link? :) -GraaLen
hello i have a few qustion. my rotations a tad different 1. What happen to SR> it my only affect auto attack but i usely feral charge, pounce, and then the 1 cpt i get from pounce i SR on and then i proceed to mangle, TF and rake, rip. 2nd i cant use shred for cpts unless tehy are maimed or bear bashed. i end up spaming mangle thus i got the glyph for it, what do u say? 3nd when would be the best time to apply FF?? Zeion on Mla'Ganis hit me up sometime
how much mastery do you have?. got almost 20 atm on my druid and my bleed is ticking pritty high. but i lack some crit in my pvp gear only 55% shal i reforge so i get 60%? or just stay whit 19,55 mastery?
very nice man =) but i have a little problem: my magle does more dmg than schredd so i use mangle to build up combo points... can anybody tell me why schredd is lower ? : /
Just checked this out for the upcoming Cata classic. I remember seeing your content back in the day when I mained mage, and now here I am back at it 13 year later lol. Thanks!
Mirkat was an absolute beast back in the day. Best feral period and then he stopped playing to pursue his career.
@@beeziex Suchii or Sushi was the best feral back then.
@@plasticbudgie nah he didn’t come in till late cata / mop. Wotlk was mirakat and zybak I think mirkat quit early cata
right hahah i thought it said 13 days not years haha going feral this exp so fun fun!
Same!!

Very informative. Great music, not too loud. Smexy UI and playing skills. I'm subbing! : )
Very few videos explain skills this presicely. Very good video, helped me alot!

@arthas005 this was before the nerf to Glyph of Entangling Roots, Which gave Roots like a 5-10 second CD but it was an instant cast.

Nice vid and explanation. Curious about the button Addon youre using. Care to share?
😮very helpful thank you so much! As for 7:00 the duel with mage how in the world you didn’t get bothered by all the freezes?! Like… HOWWW??! 😱

great vid dude, really helped me out. do u have any addon suggestions for pvp? also any ideas as to what gems to use in our slots would be good cos im not sure. thanks
Awesome vid!
Also, whats the name of the addon you are using for the spell bars? Thx!
Don't forget to safe your Feral Charge against hunters, elem shamys, locks with set "green base" (dont know the name xD) and mages. Most of them will immediately use their escape ability after the pounce and then you will need a Feral Charge to close the gap. :)
very nice Videos, can I ask what your Actionbar addon is called?
Nice Vid, i have always played Resto Pvp and Feral Tank for Pve, now that resto sucks i wanted to try out Feral and found this rotation very good, thanks !!
Restona - Anachronos
@barraged
Dominos + Button Facade
Then I use KgPanels for the black background.
The best Feral druid vid i have ever seen! :D awsome!
how did you change the bar after you pounced ?btw very nice vid!

@Wolfesscythe117
Mastery, by far, is a Feral's best friend.
Hello Miir,
I wanna start to play WoW again if Cataclysm starts, my plan was to lvl up a Feral Druid, but I read many Post saying the Feral Druid got Nerfed hard. Do you think a Feral Druid is still good in the Future?
Awww thricton was in here too :( i miss this
I got a question, i know that tiger's fury increase the damage by all bleeds, but why don't you use it when your low on energy so you gain the 60 energy when using it? or is it useless to spec?
@Miir You still running with Kurrosaki in arena? Or is kitty cleave not so good anymore?
@Miir hah, I'm running with 100% the same spec in BG's currently.. loads of fun. Thanks m8 :)

Nice bleed rotation! Similiar to mine ^^

Each race has a good racial but there isn't a single one that stands above the rest, so choose the race you like and you should be fine.
