How's it look?Follow

Couple doozy booboos in your talent selection, IMHO.

1) Feral Aggression instead of Ferocity
Ferocity is HUGE as it reduces the energy/rage cost of like every attack in your book. Ferocious Bite is nice for the big crit numbers, but it isn't as good for general DPS as Ripping, and the boost to Demoralizing Roar is barely valuable and definitely not worth 5 talent points.

2) Nature's Focus instead of Naturalist
The 10% damage boost of Naturalist rocks the house. Nature's focus is nice for getting off heals in PvP, but you're feral, not resto. The only resto talents you should really have are those that boost combat abilities.

3)Improved Mark of the Wild over Furor
Furor lets you initiate damage or threat much more quickly when you pop into or between forms. Much more valuable than the tiny increase in armor and starts you get out of Imp. MotW.

If I were you, when I dinged 63 I'd move 5 points from FA into Ferocity, 5 points from IMotW into Furor, the 1 Furor and 4 Nature's Focus points into 5/5 Naturalist, and take Omen of Clarity FTW. (or, depending on how many bars you are from 63, pop over to Moonglade and retrain whenever, I keep forgetting there's a trainer like 100 feet from where Teleport:Moonglade drops ya since I never knew that while leveling)

Are you saying I should be using rip when using up my combo points instead of ferocious bite?

Is maim better than rip??

Maim costs you a whopping 60 energy though so the 'stun to regen some energy' factor is moot, as you'll just barely make back what you spend before the stun wears off.

Maim is great in some cases where you need a quick interrupt, or to solo some elite casters with. Not much else though, Rip is your bread and butter.

Edit: Keep Ferocious Bite on your bar though, if a mob is below 1k health just FB them which should take em out instantly.

And for mobs that don't bleed, at least in situations where you don't mind zeroing out your energy.

Also, as my AP and crit increase, I also find myself using FB more frequently against non-elite level 70 and 71 mobs...even those that bleed. By the time I finish my "opening" sequence they're usually an FB away from the afterlife.

Why do I read everywhere that it costs 35 Energy? O_o

Hmm, last time I used it, it really drained my energy bar. Maybe I'm crazy, or my UI is bugged :D

Still, you're not gonna regen much, and I find it breaks up the rhythm in my soloing effort to maim and reposition for another attack.
