Hey all, I want to apologize for being Captain Grumpycat the last few weeks in raid. Feral is badly broken right now, with an tight-window rotation that brutally punishes anything less than perfection (I’m super not close to perfection).
In addition, haste is such a terrible stat for kitty that Bloodlust does essentially nothing. It does not give extra, faster DoT ticks, and our white damage is such a tiny component of overall dps that speeding up auto attacks is pointless. That doesn’t really mean much except it’s not the funnest thing to see everyone else’s numbers shoot up for the duration while I basically stay at ground level.
So what that boils down to is working flat out to try to hit every single rotation window in a raid with tons of mechanics, and given that I am not a world-class 20-year-old player, that’s not gonna happen. So I concentrate on trying to at least handle the mechanics while I watch my dps drop off a cliff and hope that the promised fixes coming in 7.3 will make a difference.
Anyway, here is a thing I made in a workshop a couple weeks ago that I am pretty proud of, so have a look! [ Issa stick, whee ]. You can also see my, ahem, [ batty ] little science comic I made a couple months back if you poke around a bit.
