Notes
- This attack serves as the basis for any feral druid's group DPS.
- Mangle increases the damage from Shred by 30%, and should always be up on the target when using shred.
- You do not have to be prowling to use Shred; you just need to be behind your target.
Tips and tactics
- In Cat Form, especially PvE, this is pretty much the best way to start a fight until Ravage (Level 32); Prowl up behind the mob, Shred for a huge initial damage. This is always a good move when grouping, because if someone else is holding the aggro, shredding from behind is serious damage while in combat (Ravage requires prowling).
- One good tactic is to pick up Shredding Attacks and Brutal Impact. While the target is stunned from Pounce, a cat druid can have just enough energy to use a talented Shred twice. ALSO with 5/5 Rend and Tear the target will take an additional 20% from the Shreds after the Pounce from the pounce bleed, AND, with Glyph of Shred, the shred will do an additional 20% during that pounce stun.
