[Feral] The Feral Druid Guide I - Basic Stunlock

Shadowfuri here again, and Ive come to lay down some more tips =D!
I'm going to start making a "Guide" Series! hooray, alright now to get down to business!



For those who read my "How to execute the perfect combo.(Feral Druids!)
post,


[http://www.wow-pro.com/class_guides/how_execute_perfect_comboferal_druids] (<--there it is Laughing out loud!)


this will separate all the complicated stuff and MASSIVE paragraph of words and simply take out the Stun-Lock Part, for you Druids out there who just wanna start off a battle with the upper hand, cause' noone likes to start off at the bottom. I mean..some do..but..anyways.

The Basic Stun lock is just like it sounds, pretty Basic, The only thing Semi noticeable about this tactic is timing. your going to have to kill some time and be quick at the same time. again sorry for the long intros.
here we go Smiling


also if you just want a quick summary scroll to the bottom.


THE BASIC STUNLOCK
First, this move cant be pulled off without prowling. so your first move would be to make sure you are prowling =). after you have that covered find a target, get your focus on them. If your close to them go ahead and start off but im gonna start this from a "ranged" point of view. okay! if your not close to your target try to get close enough for a Feral Charge(Cat),

and don't be afraid to use it out. Out first i didn't use it much because of the energy consumption, 10 energy to get close to someone! but by the time you get to your target your energy is back up to 100/100,

anyways. this will slow down your target for 4 seconds and also confuse them a little like.. "why did i just get dazed!whats going on!" and while they are freaking out you hit them with a "Pounce" Pounce will stun the target for 4 seconds, and also give them a friendly little bleed effect. for the duration of the stun try to bring your combo points up to 3,4, or 5. with primal fury and a high crit rate you should be able to get the 5 combo points in no time.

i suggest a Mangle, to start off with (drops you about 32 energy) so you can get about 2 or 3 off. no problem. if your behind the target feel free to hit them with Shred for a higher crit chance and more damage. but also consumes about 42 energy. now, with that out of the way, what happens if you run low on energy! activate tigers fury! if you have the "king of the jungle" talent 3/3 this stun-lock is flawless.

After you build enough combo points Maim the target! with a full 5/5 combo points this should be a tasty 6 second stun! (incapacitate) throw in another mangle/shred real quick to get some damage, and switch to bear form. with the minimum of 2/5 Furor in the resto tree hoping for the 40% chance for the extra 10 rage is a good prayer, but not a needed one. When you switch to (Dire)Bear Form. enrage to get your energy up quick. by the time it gets up to 15 you could've gotten an easy two auto attacks on your target. not that much damage but anything goes right? hit your target with Bash! for a 5 second stun. they should be heated by now! switch back to cat form for MAX DPS. and unload. if your tigers fury is not up by now you'll be fine. you got your stunlock and your opponent has lost a chunk of their health!
