Rotation and priority

  1. Cat: Tiger's Fury, Rake, Shred to 5 points, Rip on long fights or Ferocious Bite
  2. Cat: Claw from the front when you cannot get behind
  3. Bear: Maul every swing, Lacerate to 5 stacks, Swipe on packs
  4. Bear: Demoralizing Roar, Feral Charge on casters, Bash to interrupt
  5. Shift out to heal in a pinch, back in with Shifting Power for Energy
  6. Dash and Prowl for positioning; Pounce from stealth in PvP

Tips

  • Thick Hide and Natural Reaction are what let leather tank with 115% threat.
  • Feral Swiftness in Cat Form is 30% speed outdoors: a mount before 40.
  • Shred needs you behind the target; on a boss that is always, on a mob it is a Prowl opener.

Leveling as Feral Combat
