Feral (Cat) Lazy Macro – 4.3

[LuisKeymaster]

After a bit of testing at the dummy, this macro it seems to do a nice rotation and using all cooldowns available for a brainless 1 spam button.

Dungeon macro (attacking behind mobs):

/castsequence [stealth]Ravage;reset=target/alt Mangle(Cat Form),Faerie Fire (Feral),null
/castsequence reset=target Savage Roar,Rake,Shred,Shred,Shred,Rip,Rake,Shred
/cast [nostealth]Prowl
/cast Tiger's Fury
/cast Berserk
/cast Feral Charge(Cat Form)

Macro Explanation:

Farming macro (attacking not behind mobs):

/castsequence [stealth]Pounce;reset=1 Faerie Fire (Feral),null
/castsequence reset=target Mangle(Cat Form),Savage Roar,Rake,Rip,Mangle(Cat Form),Rake,Mangle(Cat Form)
/cast [nostealth]Prowl
/cast Tiger's Fury
/cast Berserk
/cast Feral Charge(Cat Form)

Macro Explanation:

UPDATED June 10, 2011: Revised for a better rotation and added Pounce spell when on Stealth, also stealths if out of combat.
UPDATED July 1, 2011: Added farming version (frontal attack does not lock up).
UPDATED October 2, 2011: Cat dungeon – Pounce was replaced with Ravage, rotations reset on target to prevent any lock up and added a modifier (Alt) to refresh mangle and Faerie Fire. Cat farming – Claw was replaced with Mangle for more damage and normal rotation resets on target to prevent any lock up. Trinkets had to be removed in order to have space to make the macros work properly.

Hello titusmarshall, I will try to check them this weekend and try to reproduce your problem. Any clue what spell is trying to cast?
And you are welcome about the hard work =)

Hi Luis, First of all, thank you for taking the time and effort to create these macros. It is appreciated, and has allowed me to play my alts more often, because I can spend time “playing” rather than having to practice/learn each specs/classes intrinsic rotations, etc. I have also found that the feral macro will lock up and get stuck on auto attack only, and as a Worgen I hear “Not Ready” “Can’t Do That Yet”. Since the reset is 1 sec, is it possible to spam the macro too quickly? I’ll try to do some research on the training dummy and let you know if I can narrow it down. Thanks in advance

You are welcome christopherbell, I will try to look it up before the weekend is over and try to correct it.

Which one is locking up from the 2?

I’m using the second one (farming macro), since the enemies don’t often let me attack from behind for very long since I don’t usually have a tank with me to hold them facing away.

Hi christopherbell, I think I found the problem. It seems like is getting stucked trying to cast Rip on the target that currently has the Rip debuff.

It is very annoying cause it should override the old debuff, just like Savage Roar buff does.

So in other words, if for some reason Rip still up and you do not have enough combo points to override it with a bigger Damage over Time, it will get stuck til the DoT is gone.

I will try to check if there are ways to fix this without having to completely remove the spell from the sequence.

Hey man, just a quick question, at ilvl 350, should I be doing more then 6.5k dps tops? Just curious if i’m doing something wrong, if Feral is as bad as I remember. Thanks!

[LuisKeymaster]

Hello Adamlamb, I could guess a number since I do not have that ilevel in the cat I test the macros with. But with a level 363 I do about 15k dps constant at the dummy. So maybe it should be close to 10k as 350? It also depends in gear/ enchants/ talents/ glyphs.

There is a visitor who claims to do 20 – 25 k dps at 346 item level, but I do not know how true is this, could be in AoE situations or all raid buffs involved.

In dungeons or raids is supposed to do more dps because of other player buffs or the dungeon buff.

Here is a link to my friends druid if you would like to compare:

Try use this:
#showtooltip
/startattack
/castsequence reset=target Mangle(Cat Form), Savage Roar, Rake, Shred, Shred, Rake, Shred, Rip, Shred, Rake, Shred, Shred, Rake, Ferocious Bite(Cat Form), Shred, Shred, Rake
/use !Ravage
/use !Tiger’s Fury

found it at a other site it do a lot more dps then the other i have 365 ilevl and do 15k dps at a target dummy with this. the other i only do 10.
