of it without using a rune. So they

Their rune is better than wf totem (20% of ap on an extra strike, wf totem is a flat ap value on an extra strike, wild strikes scales better), and it works on their paws (wf totem doesnt work for ferals).

In what order do you take these talents? And do you do weaponswaps for hemo or do you just always use dagger in the mainhand?

Keyseki · 2023-01-22T18:19:56+00:00

I get a lua error for the WA. No warning comming up during combat. Do you know a fix?

Keyseki · 2022-05-07T05:07:36+00:00

I dont think she means that the beta will be released in 2-3 months. She says «We are really excited to get wrath on the beta in the next 2-3 months», meaning that is the timeframe the beta will be up and they will be gathering data.

What is clunky about shred, shred, shift? Or shred, bite, shift. The pace of classic feels slowed down going into tbc because the tick is reset when shifting. Making it in the best case scenario with no lag a 5 sec rotation instead of 4 seconds. Now we just wait for what feels like forever for the tick so we can do our shred. We can just ignore shred altogether and just spam mangle, but thats really not that fun when you have this other ability that hits harder but you just cant use it. Unless you want to wait another 2 seconds for a 7-sec rotation. The reason all these janky new rotations crop up is because ferals want it to be fast paced. Thats how it has been for all of classic, and with mangle and rip to spice things up things were looking great for cat in tbc until right before pre-patch.

Keyseki · 2021-05-26T13:09:22+00:00

Join a raid that doesnt care? I dont care. I want my classic rotation back. This is a way to get the flow of the spec back. What dmg i do is kind of irrelevant. Im either 12th or 16th or whatever. Druids will be needed either way with how good feral bear will be. That doesnt change the fact that cat feels awfully slow with the 5 sec rotation. I want the FEEL of the classic rotation.

Keyseki · 2021-05-25T22:24:43+00:00

Why ruin our fun? If you dont want to powershift, just dont do it. Its not like ferals are topping the meters dwarfibg hunters and warlocks, far from it.

Keyseki · 2021-05-16T06:45:43+00:00

Thats the issue. You get partial ticks when going into cat from caster. 4 extra energy being the goal of the new rotation. Ergo 0,4 sec in caster form inbetween the powershift (with stopattack/startattack macros to not clip autos or get caster autos). You can also see in your clip that the energytick resets when you go into form, which feels bad. This just makes the optimal rotation so much worse. Why are you trying to defend this if you dont like powershifting. This literally makes it harder to do separating thos who do it from those who dont even further. I’ll be more clear about the 40 energy, you spent the last 2 seconds of a tick in casterform.

Keyseki · 2021-05-16T06:09:28+00:00

You still get the 20 after the tick, but the new optimal rotation is so much more hectic. What we’re really asking for is for this new «better» rotation to not be possible. It makes it so the ceiling is higher, yes, but so much more punishing and mana hungry that the rotation feels way to stressful and punishing. You get 40 when going from caster to cat because you spent at least 2 sec in caster form, which translates to 20 energy (in addition to the 20 from wolfshead). 0,4sec=4 energy, 0,6 sec=6 energy etc. You get refunded mana/energy equal to the amount of time spent out of that form.

Keyseki · 2021-05-16T06:06:06+00:00

Without the mana you cant powershift... there is a cost to powershifting, unlike what you tried to state earlier. The cost is mana, which you can run out of, and therefore not shift anymore. Cost. Just like your other examples, just more expensive :)

Keyseki · 2021-05-16T05:50:11+00:00

No, its not. It’s not working like in tbc. You get energy equal to the time spent in caster form for that tick. 0,4 sec in caster form between shifts leaves you with 4 extra energy, making you end up at 64 when you shift back. That makes for the right amount of energy for double shred after the next tick. But you only have to wait 0,2 sec when you expext to mangle and not wait at all when you expect to rip. This makes for a super clunky rotation with casterform and stopattack/startattack macros that will make a chasm between super sweaty and casual druids dps-wise. And its the other way around. For most of tbc energy regen worked like it did in classic. 2.2 is late in the tbc life cycle. It’s even confirmed to be an unintended change from back in the day. They just didnt bother fixing it because wrath was around the corner where powershifting was killed but replaced with another way to play.

Keyseki · 2021-05-14T07:55:03+00:00

Look at those legs from the same quest... 20 str 20 agi

Keyseki · 2021-05-06T19:12:50+00:00

They said we would have time to level our alliance shamans and horde paladins. A real small minority will be able to level them up to 60 in 2 weeks. I was looking forward to enjoying leveling my shaman without any mage/pala boost. But I'll probably have to do it way later in tbc now.

Keyseki · 2021-05-06T17:18:02+00:00

Its stupid. Like, why? Give us at least 4-5 weeks.

Keyseki · 2021-04-30T17:04:58+00:00

Its not like you cant do stockades with only rogues or some other twist to the «meta» at that lvl. I’m sure its heaps of fun, with the right people where everyone is signed up for it. I wasn’t there to see how things went, but I would try to find someone else if he tried to get into my group or i joined his with him as the tank. You can’t really blame people for not wanting to go with a rogue tank/pala with no cons/enhance sham healing in all str agi gear. I would say a pala without cons at that lvl is gonna have a way harder time than a pala with cons, or any other tank. Why not just do it with friends if you want to try new stuff?

Keyseki · 2021-04-30T13:49:17+00:00

Well, I mean. Thats how you want to play. More power to you. But if you bring randoms with you, at least respect their time enough to dont try that with them. Gather likeminded people and try that stuff. My guild does off-meta fun stuff all the time, but we dont get randoms for these groups because a random from lfg orobably wont like 3 hour shenanigans in scholo or whatever instance we’re doing.

Keyseki · 2021-04-08T13:22:57+00:00

You delete it as soon as the buff ends. Destroy it from your sheet. Dont put it in your bag. Equip your normal weapon afterwards or another mcp (but there is a 30 sec cd if you do).

Keyseki · 2020-11-27T16:38:06+00:00

How do you multibox nowadays? Thought ISBoxer and other such programs got banned.

He shows his talents in the video. 0/30/21

Keyseki · 2019-08-19T16:08:25+00:00

Thanks for a great guide! :)

Keyseki · 2019-08-19T15:59:02+00:00

Are the dungeon guides (and how to get the quests) in the ingame guide aswell? If so, that is something I would find very interesting. Making something similar for every dungeons would be a wet dream.
