The glyphs is where, I think, it hurts the most - rip is shorter naturally, and shred doesn't extend it.Kaethirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16328588369398109846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101235402727196995.post-10578194533053673222010-03-22T21:54:20.881-07:002010-03-22T21:54:20.881-07:00It's very hard (impossible, really) to maintai...It's very hard (impossible, really) to maintain savage roar, mangle, rake, AND rip while in bear spec and bear gear. Not only does the lack of agility hurt your ability to crit and thus gain 2 combo points at once, but the lack of Tiger's Fury and Master Shapeshifter also cause difficulty when trying to gain enough combo points to keep all buffs and debuffs fully active.<br /><br />Until you try dpsing in cat spec and cat gear, you really can't blame yourself for the lack of rip uptime! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101235402727196995.post-68784444827196350322010-03-22T03:56:26.595-07:002010-03-22T03:56:26.595-07:00Yep, we realized later that was the issue.Yep, we realized later that was the issue.Kaethirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16328588369398109846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101235402727196995.post-4743234123619263772010-03-21T18:34:29.711-07:002010-03-21T18:34:29.711-07:00Do you run with an Arms warrior?

Trauma is applied each time the Warrior crits and will have 100% uptime on a fight like Saurfang after 5 seconds into the fight. So if you have an Arms warrior with the talent don't even bother wasting a GCD on Mangle*.<br /><br />*So many caveats about not using Mangle its ridiculous, 2/2 Shredding attacks required to make Shred more DPE than Mangle, Shred-idol instead of mangle idol required, use mangle when target switching (Trauma won't go up straight away)....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
