No Omen of Clarity? Really? Are you sure you know this class? Losing one point in Feral Swiftness, Feral Instinct or Infected Wounds(unless you're the guild debuff bitch for that) for it is a massive DPS gain.
ReplyDeleteAlso (while this can be argued) it is generally agreed that Glyph of Mangle is superior to Glyph of Berserk. Of course if you have someone else in your guild to be the Trauma/Mangle bitch, then Berserk is far better.
Also, for kitty DPS, an addon like Feral By Night or BadKitty is indispensable for doing the best dps possible. BadKitty gives you either icons with time remaining on them, or timer bars, to show remaining time on buffs/debuffs, as well as cooldowns for Berserk/Tiger's Fury. FBN does the same, as well as including a move predictor, which is excellent for learning, but after a while not really needed.
