thanks so much for the extensive guide! I learned a lot from you and the comments! 1) multi ripping with two targets (worms but not for twins) and extend rip timer with shred glyph on the primary target 2) bleed effect buffs shred damage a lot (rake/rip) so mangle+bleed is big for shred 3) when Icehowl is stunned, activate berserk instantly and spam shred. and no need to clip rip at the end of the stun 4) time the smash to refresh rip before it hops off 4) max melee range with Icehowl for the knockback 5) use berserk on Icehowl and Gormok instead of on the worms 6) can keep berserk for the adds on Jaraxxus for swipe damage 7) ST Jaraxxus the whole fight as much as possible 8) ST twins if possible and don't swap to break shield 9) empowered darkness and empowered light are normalized 10) adds damage on anub is capped at 900k and can track with the WA 11) damage on scarabs doesn't count 12) add damage in p3 doesn't count 13) build roar on scarabs 14) etc... you won't believe how this video helps a noob feral like me xD
@@beardigo-wowferalgrobbulus663 have you messed around with trinket toggling in ToGC yet? I noticed last night that the RP is always long enough on the first pull to toggle pre-pull. Jaraxxus seems like it would benefit the most from it, you could toggle Runestone 25 sec before combat starts so it procs when the first portal is gonna spawn (20 sec into the fight), and Berserk + Swipe with Runestone up. Only thing that kinda sucks is you'd have to get your first Rip on Jaraxxus within the first 2-3 seconds of the fight to be able to get your 2nd Rip on him before the portal spawns so you don't lose any Swipe uptime (or potentially clip your first Rip to prevent lost Rip uptime)
@@tableslam Most fights in there you can easily trinket time yeah, since the RP is so long. Generally I'd prefer my trinkets to pop right after I hit berserk (when I'm about to spam shred), delaying them that much for some brief 3 target swiping feels like it might not be worth it. Next week I'm going to hold berserk until the 2nd add wave (the volcano and infernals) and try to swipe 5+ targets at once. True degeneracy.
I was waiting forever for another video from you. You need more videos because Bear, you are the absolute cat goat. And on top of it i absolutely love your humor lol
there is a time to kill estimate weakaura somewhere that uses current combat time in combination with current boss % HP to estimate how many seconds of a fight are left for more accurate end of fight berserk, pot, and rip/bite/roar timings btw
Dude - what a godsend Guide. I just returned to feral after beeing boomie in Ulduar. Love the new Feral but Parsing was awful despite bein top 1-3 in Guild DPS. This helps me understand why. TYVM - you da reel MVP
Another thing to note about Anub parses and adds - the damage to them you're able to do can drastically change based on a single add tank strat vs two tanks and being able to cleave longer vs insta kill them in 10seconds. It's really punishing for any guild that's solo tanking adds as you'll pretty much not be able to have a great parse when the entire raid is hard aoe'ing the adds vs more drawn out passive cleave.
@@beardigo-wowferalgrobbulus663 yeah which is also problematic for parses at the base level. Any fight with cleave or adds can be cheesed or abused for parses and it becomes very degenerate. The only solution is to generally exclude it all and then all fight become a target dummy. Sadly I don't think there's every really a good solution.
Hey! I know its a late message to this video but why is it that rather often during berserk you skip rake? Isn't it higher prio than shred overall and berserk doesn't change that? For example Icehowl stun phase. Thanks! 8)
Specifically for icehowl it's because not all of those rake ticks will go off before his increased damage taken phase ends but all the damage of a shred will - I think I had the set bonus by this point in time that extends it to 12 sec, honestly unsure. But you are right in general rake is higher prio than shred! Zerk has no impact on that either way
What is that yellow Undead buff at Anub? Got it already called Scourgebane Draught (30atp buff again Undead) it's a repeatable Quest in the Bloodelf starting Zone Rotting Hearts
Damn that rip/shred interaction is interesting. So does rip timer only go up then on the target you are shredding? So you ripped acidmaw then used your 3 shreds on dreadscale. Does rip only extend on dreadscale in that scenario or both?
Just to clarify one thing you pointed out on ice howl. If you don't have roar up when you bleed they dont get increased damage? so if you roar after a rip/rake they dont get the 30% boost? Thanks for this video, as a new feral its hard to find tips/tricks like this.
Yes, you need to have roar before you cast rip or it'll do 30% less damage (33% with glpyh). Rip snapshots your own buffs at the time of casting, it's crucial to have roar before you cast rip
No. It's never worth clipping rip for a trinket buff, occasionally it is for a boss buff if it's big enough (think rune of power from Iron Council). Also, runestone is an armor pen buff, bleeds aren't affected 👍
sadly most of my runs are in the “must do mechanics & strat correctly” skill/gear level so targetting and cooldowns cannot be maximized to pad personal dps and parses or we risk a wipe. once my groups are there tho, wonderful guide to improve my parse, at least the once :D
One note of caution on Icehowl is that there is a brief delay after he hits the wall before he is considered stunned, so if you're too quick charging in you will get trampled and potentially wipe the raid! That, or my timing is simply dog. Learned this the hard way costing us a 272 cloak✌
Yep, he doesn't gain the stunned debuff for a second or so after hitting the wall and if you charge him too early it counts as him hitting you. Very strange. Watch for the debuff to appear, then you know it's safe
Correct me if I am wrong, but if a guild is progressing now/future is it wise to pre-combat HoT raid members? Regrowth is 21 seconds, can also have a haste set to cast it faster and it might snapshot with stuff?
I have heard that! I tried it this week and it felt pretty doable, it seems there's quite a big range where you can hit him without getting knocked back. Unfortunately I did less well on the other bosses so didn't get a new PB but it's a good strat for sure
It would be great if you got NugKeyFeedback so we can see what abilities you're spamming. Super minimal addon and you can put it off to the side of the screen or in the corner. Just a thought!
Yes it does! Rake becomes more important to keep up if you have any of the T9 or later tier bonuses that affect it. With those set bonuses you want to keep it up regardless of trinket procs. The only thing that doesn't change is your omen of clarity shred prio, because that's more about saving 42 energy vs saving 35, not about the damage of the actual abilities.
@@beardigo-wowferalgrobbulus663 I assume that is because, even during the runestone proc, the extra tick of rake increases its overall damage therefore actually making it worth it?
@@Phocieda Yes, the damage-per-energy of abilities is pretty much all that matters and shred only barely overtakes rake during runestone (and dark matter) procs before t9 bonus. With the rake set bonus, rake's damage per energy is much better than shreds at all times 👍
@@Phocieda It's always been fine during zerk, zerk doesn't change our cast priority except for bite (because the energy conversion stays the same while everything else gets 50% cheaper) :D the reason people didn't rake always previously was based on trinket procs that buffed shred but not rake. With Tier 9 and beyond, rake is much more important
Thought to myself 'hey, they're limiting damage to adds - that's great.'; then I went on my warlock and padded an absurd amount on my lock and still wasn't anywhere close to 900k
Yeah they're discussing lowering the cap drastically, to around 300k-400k. Some top ferals are basically just swiping anub and are reaching the 900k cap already. Swipe strong
@@beardigo-wowferalgrobbulus663 In addition, having the adds not count in phase 3 is pretty cruel given that you'll usually be aoeing down the last set as phase 3 begins, should cut off damage to the adds 20 seconds into phase 3 or so
I usually zerk for worms(because they are nasty), get it back for icehowl anyway. With the newfound rip trick/bug, Im going to use that to quickly get rip quickly on both. Someone have to do some math / testing on multirip with extra extentions, on how to utilize it the best
That would be ideal but unfortunately there isn't time for that in our runs. Worms come out around 1:30 into the fight, icehowl gets his first staggered daze (increase damage debuff) at 3:55-ish. He does get a second one as your saw but absolutely not worth zerking on the second one, he dies immediately after hitting the wall.
So ive played alot of bear and cat (pvp) ive started to play cat Pve is it worth keeping rake up 247 along with keeping rip and roar up? And I dropped glyph of rip for Omen is that correct? Edit: I commented b4 i watched full Vid and u answered one of my big questions when using target dummy I was wondering if It was worth holding points and just shred waiting to be able to re apply Rip because if you bite you wioll then lose time on rip or roar, so at all cost rip and roar always!
For me Druid is more focus on the timing of all the dif skills then actually enjoy the class and fights. They should stream line it more so u dont have to do a Excel sheet to play it .

4) max melee range with Icehowl for the knockback
5) use berserk on Icehowl and Gormok instead of on the worms
6) can keep berserk for the adds on Jaraxxus for swipe damage
7) ST Jaraxxus the whole fight as much as possible
8) ST twins if possible and don't swap to break shield
9) empowered darkness and empowered light are normalized
10) adds damage on anub is capped at 900k and can track with the WA
11) damage on scarabs doesn't count
12) add damage in p3 doesn't count
13) build roar on scarabs
14) etc...
you won't believe how this video helps a noob feral like me xD
That's what I'm here for! Glad it helps dude!
600k for adds now isnt it?
Been waiting for this to drop. You're a legend thanks for the guide
The reason I don't make parsing guides is because you're better at it than I am, I send folks your way all the time

Great vid as always mate! Your Anub kill were almost as funny as our first, the boss died exactly when the last person died in week one=D
you can outrange the aoe knockback on icehowl, he has a huge hitbox so just max melee range and you're safe
That's a great idea, I'll give that a try. Thanks!
9:17 u can see one of the dks dont get knocked off. That's the range spot. Its not a pixel perfect like kologarn, so should be easy to find.
Mythal sends his regards.
OMG THE GODFATHER HIMSELF POSTED AGAIN !!!!!!
Babe wake up beardigo made another video
What is the weak aura for the feral bar and trinket procs ?
love a fresh beardigo vid! thanks bro
Whats the WA you have for twins? it showing which abilities they've used

Hey thanks for the vid, if you haven't found out yet you can stand max melee range not get knock back on his little spin thing.

Tell the shield-wearing classes in your raid to use Greater Ward of Shielding, especially on Anub on pre-pull.
Do you mean when you are low hp ?
its pretty pointless... its only 4k absorbtion and you have to be out of combat to use it. its going to get absorbed in the first hit.
@@tjolson5131 So use it before pull... Also, seeing as how in this vid, the raid nearly wipes, every bit counts.
nice thx for this video u are back
Does the 2pc T9 change our prio on rake at all? Or do the guidelines roughly stay the same?

you should change your name to godigo cause you're the best tysm for the guide. as always

Barkskin doesnt reduce the Leeching swarm damage, only use it when you get Penetrating cold.

Great content!!! i hope raid leader won't see it. Just kidding :p

u clipped ur first rip lol
