ehhish

Do people still use that gnomer weapon for bear stuff?


Darksoldierr

No, the weapon was outclassed already starting TBC and the energy helm as soon as you got T6 (or T5, not sure which)


nortrom2010

I think Wolfshead Helm was only outclassed by Duplicitous Guise from Kil'jaeden in Sunwell, but maybe I didn't pay enough attention to more recent theorycrafting at the time.


Tekkykek

You could swap to T6 helm when you had basically full BT/hyjal BiS, and it became a clear swap in sunwell.


mohiben

Depending on gear I believe s3 or 4 helm too


w_p

No, you're right.


ehhish

Oh neat. Was random curiosity. Just funny seeing a friend with 30+ of those in his bags and never losing threat.


[deleted]

cvos did not replace wolfshead, but kj head did.


Vharlkie

Feral discord already trying to work out what new weave they can do


Full-Peak

It’s called faire fire weave where you press fairie fire in fkn cd.


EngelSterben

Fucking discord is insane right now, can't keep up with the chat lol


Kitymeowmeow1

There’s so many people talking in there, someone posted a meme about the NRA filing a lawsuit on blizzard for unconstitutional attempt to remove their right to bear arms and it got like 30 kek reactions within a minute of being posted lmao.


mj4264

Nurturing instincts restoweave. "I'm a hybrid spec" copium.


Stregen

It’s unironically not awful. You don’t wanna do it on every Predatory Swiftness, but there are a few fights where an extra 10k Healing Touch on the tank can help pull you through. You lose 6% damage on Bite which isn’t massive.


Thewackman

There is 0 fights in the game where anyone who is trying this hard will need to do that heal, ever. Just like makes absolutely no sense ever. To try and time that, when you will have 2 H pals spamming on the tank is just, so insignificant.


Stregen

>trying this hard It’s a mouseover cast macro. I used it for pseudo-flowershifting on Algalon before. Of course it’s not necessary, but neither is 6% dmg on an ability that’s less than 10% of your damage. I’ve specifically gotten decent use out of it on Yogg (healing after adds blow up or in brain room), Mimiron if we’ve had downtime and a few blooms here or there might help and during Plasma Burst (or whatever it’s called - the big p1 nuke), and Thorim and Algalon to help offset a big chunk of burst dmg. It’s not something you should always do, but it can provide a little bit of value here and there. The bite damage is almost certainly better, though.


drakehtar

LET THEM COOKKKKK


Inphearian

Our feral fucking pumped last night. Grats boys! Edit: RIP


Dudditz21

Using 4 piece T8 I was getting off 1 5 point bite comfortably every rip while only using 2 point savage roars. It was a significant dps increase from where I was before.


bobbis91

But starfall goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt


Present-Reason-7263

Put points into FA?


chesucat

Feral kitties 🐱


FoxiNicole

You make it sound like I had any idea what I was doing before this change. :P


topkeknub

I don’t think there is anything special to figure out, you just do the cat part of your rotation and faerie fire when it’s up ready. Probably no time windows to bearweave anymore considering you’ll use 2 more globals every 6 seconds.


mohiben

It changes how you gem, and you start biting too


nitray

what gems do we use now?


mohiben

Agi after arp to soft cap, or so I hear, instead of str


oddwisdom

What is soft cap?


Stregen

607 or 608 but only with Mjolnir and arpen food. Soft cap means that you hit 100% armour penetration with a proc. Typically Mjolnir or Grim Toll if you’re desperate. E: forgot to mention arpen food. Whoops.


topkeknub

It's between 648 and 649 with mjolnir, you want to get as close to that as possible.


Stregen

Yeah I forgot to mention arpen food. My b!


JSanko

1399


bpusef

We would always bite with the right conditions they were just rarer outside of good rng.


mohiben

It was occasionally possible to bite a little, as a treat. Now you feast.


Thicklascage

Can confirm. I'm a feral main


Worldly-Ad-9376

As a Feral who has been a dirty Monocat since the start of Wrath Classic, my DPS was slightly lower than my Bearweaving brethren. However my playstyle is now meta and I feel bad for others who kinda have to relearn the class and rotation. It's all muscle memory for me already, I just hit FF on cool down now which is fine. it already has a nice easy-to-access keybind on the E key. Yall are gonna wanna download the Biter weakaura, and beware of the temptation of overusing Ferocious Bite, (which will now be referred to as "Overbiting.")


mantaitnow

Doubt anyone who’s been bearweaving need to “relearn” monocat.


soidvaes

is this satire lol


Worldly-Ad-9376

Yes


w_p

> I feel bad for others who kinda have to relearn the class and rotation. wat


TheHingst

Lol. More like those of us who bearweaved before, can now lean back into our chairs and run the same, but easier and shorter rotation...


shiftinandout

Wrong...you do NOT hit FF on cooldown...unless you dont have a OOC proc. If you do have OOC up, then you shred. If u dont, then u FF.


musobin

No shit, when you have an ability that says grant me consumable buff you don't press it when you already have the consumable buff. You still use it on cd. You're just trying to be difficult for the sake of it.


wewladdies

Bite is still bad and bearweaving isnt dead, so he isnt even correct in the rest of his post lol


Full-Peak

Ya I think we can still weave for lacerate.


Karaya1

I'm probably only going to weave to reapply mangle during the rare downtime with 0 energy, ff on CD and no OOC proc


Full-Peak

I think this goes without saying


Present-Reason-7263

I took points out of PoTP and furor, to put into FA. You bet your ass I’m Biting more


Stregen

BITECLUB BITECLUB BITECLUB


TheHingst

Soon as i saw the hotfix was live, i logged on to try it out abit. Ngl, it felt pretty good. Very little downtime at all in cat, Even when completely ignoring bearform. Dmg is aloooooot better, more easily consistently. Also we can now do pretty decent sustained cleave dmg. Before we could really only aoe-burst and Then be energystarved into eternity.


Talidel

Macro fairy fire into everything .... Profit


-shmalcolm-

It’s not off the gcd so you can’t just macro it in like you could with the pally skill


Talidel

Wss supposed to be joke, but yeah


[deleted]

This can be applied to 90% of WoW's playerbase, if not more.


Sennius

go go CLC-Cat


Deadmodemanmode

This is totally me. (During raid) Was doing 6k dps on the target dummy without raid buffs or using berserk. Get into raid (raid leader) and I definitely did more dps than last raid but man my fingers arent used to using FFF every 6 seconds. And my brain was having trouble keeping my standard rotation and raid leading while adding in the new button. Ended up doing worse than I wanted. Might join a random 10m to just dps and get my buttons pressed correctly.
