Damage at 73 on my kitty

Post by etrin

I am NO expert with this and mainly using AH and drops for eq.

Looking at recount I am doing overall 550dps on mobs while leveling. I take very little damage except when there is more than 1 mob.

head on damage on 1 mob I do this.

mangle rake (rip) mangle mangle (Ferocious Bite) They are usually dead or one more hit and they are...if I crit and get added dots some times they go down very fast. Doesn't happen often LOL

are the 2 dots from mangle and rake enought on rip?
Is there something I should change that will make me do better?

I have bear form questions but I won't worry about them right now :)

thanks for any advice

thanks a lot for the info.
I was tryong to do 4-5 dots before a rip but then on a single mob I never got to use my FB.
Sure I believe that they were dead either way but I was not doing all I could. Then I thought well maybe I am just doing it wrong.

i am usually opening with pounce
mangle, rake
rip (usually it'll be 4-5CPs)
and then mangle x2 and if mob isn't dead still - FB
You need to do all THAT? Damn your gear sucks balls x_x

At that level, mobs will have around 10K HP probably. Pounce+Mangle+Rake+FB should be more than enough. Maybe squeeze in an extra Shred. Why apply Rip on a mob that's going to die 4 seconds later? -_-

i kinda have the same problem with tryin to raise my dps compared to others @ equal or little higher lvl than myself.
Right now im 72 feral/restro druid getting roughly 525-575dps on avg throughout a instance.

Right now im starting off with pounce + Mangle to 4-5CPs + FB. most of the time when questing whatever it is is dead or within a few smacks..

I've only done instances as cat a grand total of 7 times (3 times in northrend), but the last two runs i peaked at 1.3k on trash.

My solo DPS is 700-850,

Faerie Fire, Mangle, Rake, Mangle until 4cp and FB. (If i do 5 i wont be able to land FB ).

EDIT: Did a third and fourth run and averaged 900 dps. I'm not sure what went wrong here, i suspect i outlevelled the instances that last time i got past 1k dps.

My Solo DPS is consistent at 700.
