    Druid (Forums / Talent Calculator)
    Feral

    * Mangle now increases the damage of bleed effects for 1 min. (Up from 12 sec)
    * Mangle (Bear) now increases the damage of bleed effects for 1 min. (Up from 12 sec)
    * Mangle (Cat) now increases the damage of bleed effects for 1 min. (Up from 12 sec)

    How awesome will this be for you cat druids out there? I was just talking to skratchez about mangling last night. This should make a big ease of pressure for all the timers they have to watch.

    YES YES YES this made my day :)

    Now the glyph ups the damage of Mangle by 10% instead of increasing its affect for 6 seconds. Now this frees me up to shred more.

    So they made cat druids more idiot friendly. Talk about dummying down a good class :P For other meow folks like Skratchez, it's a boon to him :DI got a fever, and the only prescription...is more cowbell!

    the "rotation" is still the same but now when a druid is in a grp where there is no bear tank or another druid to keep up mangle he can get it up there and continue to dps. Really a nice change.

    How often do I get trauma on a target? Yeah, that's right. Almost never. Skratchez is the only raiding cat I know of. Up until Bel started raiding the 25 ICC, there was no feral druid to buff me up QQ.I got a fever, and the only prescription...is more cowbell!

    It's an improvement for sure, but they still need to tidy up the rest of the rotation so its less John Madden.

    Aye, but this might be enough to get me to try feral DPS again. Might.

    I like the messiness that is the Cat DPS rotation. This change just changes it up a bit... we still have to watch rake, rip, SR, combo points, OoC procs, and positioning :) Its a very fun class to play and I enjoy it Sorry I can't bring my mangle goodness to more raids :)

    The key point is the "John ******* Madden" cat dps rotation is required to do comparable dps to other classes not just "jawdropping topping the meters" dps. It's the advanced rotation or poor dps with cats which is not a great design. Also factor in that your primary nuke (Shred) you have to be behind the the mob (Good luck topping the meters on Kologan). If you can't get behind or the boss continually moves or turns then your dps goes into the toilet.

    I totally agree that Druids are a fun class to play, and I'm certainly not saying that classes shouldn't have an advanced dps rotation that rewards skill, but when you have a 15 step flowchart with multiple decision points just to match other classes 3-5 step dps flowcharts then something is seriously messed up.
