What it’s for: questing, world content, dungeons where you can’t stay behind all the time.
How to use
Out of combat: spam once to get Cat Form, then it will try to Prowl.
In stealth: when you hit the button on the target, it will try to Pounce (if you have 50 energy and are in range).
In combat: keep spamming.
It will apply Faerie Fire (Feral) once per target
It will apply Mangle (Cat) first, then Rake once per target
Then it will mainly build combo points with Mangle / Claw.
MNodifiers
SHIFT = Ferocious Bite (use at 4–5 CP to finish)
ALT = powershift (Cat → Cat) (tap when low energy to “restart the cycle” with Furor energy)
CTRL+ALT = Rip (use at 5 CP on mobs that will live long enough)
Tips
Tap modifiers; don’t hold them. Holding ALT will keep trying to shift repeatedly and can feel terrible.
Pounce failing is almost always: not enough energy (needs 50), too far away, or you got put in combat.
2) PvP / Battlegrounds
What it’s for: BGs where you need a panic button and you swap targets a lot.
How to use
Approach out of combat: spam to get Cat Form → Prowl.
Engage: when you’re still out of combat + stealthed, spamming will auto-Pounce
Once in combat: keep spamming.
It won’t try to Pounce during combat (good for target swaps).
Builder runs: Mangle/Claw, with Mangle→Rake once per target.
Modifiers
ALT = Dire Bear Form (defensive “oh crap”)
Hold ALT and press your macro button → you go Bear.
Release ALT and spam → you go back to Cat rotation.
CTRL + mouseover = Faerie Fire (Feral)
Use this to pop rogues/druids or keep someone from restealthing. Mouseover and tap.
SHIFT = Ferocious Bite
CTRL+SHIFT = Rip
Tips
In BGs, being out of range is the #1 reason “I have energy but no CP” happens. You’re spamming but builders fail because you’re not in melee.
3) Dungeon/Raid (No Wolfshead)
What it’s for: boss fights / controlled PvE where you can stay behind the target.
How to use
Without Wolfshead, powershift gives you 40 energy (Furor), so the rhythm is more like:
Shred whenever you can
wait for a tick if needed
tap ALT to shift when you want to “restart” the cycle
What spamming does
Tries to keep Mangle (Cat) up
Builds CP mainly through Shred
Modifiers
ALT = powershift (Cat → Cat)
Use when you’re low energy and want to reset to Furor energy.
SHIFT = Rip (use at 5 CP)
CTRL = Ferocious Bite (execute/dump)
CTRL+SHIFT = Tiger’s Fury (use on-demand; best after you’ve pooled some energy so it doesn’t “clip” your rotation)
Tips
This version will feel awful if you aren’t behind. Shred won’t fire. For trash packs where positioning is messy, swap to your leveling/front-safe macro.
If energy feels tight, disable the Rake block first. Without Wolfshead, Rake often makes the rotation feel sluggish.
“I have energy but CP is slow” usually means:
you’re not behind,
you’re not in melee,
or you’re holding a modifier that blocks the builder lines.
4) Dungeon/Raid Tank (Bear)
Best for: dungeon packs + raid tanking with a simple spam button and SHIFT AoE mode.
What spam does
Auto-targets if needed
Shifts into Dire Bear Form
Startattack
Out of combat pull/tag with Faerie Fire (Feral)
Applies Demoralizing Roar once per target (instead of spamming it)
You just need to make sure before you start whatever you’re doing, you change the default version of the macro. I don’t know if the other categories work well in Classic
Almost like it was made back when most people weren’t even level 66 yet.
But hey, since you spotted it, feel free to add Lacerate and share the code with us!

I fixed tanking and it works great.
