I found out today that Feral druids don't even have to try and they can pull 1.5k dps. How did I find out. I went into TOC 5 reg at lvl 76 and pulled 1537 dps on the Champions at the begining.
AND I love it.

I tanked voa25 last night, with a feral druid pulling 1k I believe. How do you ask? By using mangle instead of shred. -_- makes me want to cry...
A bit off-topic I know, but it's just to show that you have to do SOME kind of effort :p
O and that guy that only pulled 1k died halfway due to Koralon's fire :/

My wife dinged 80 yesterday at ~noon on her new Feral Druid. We bought her a DMC:G, Trollwoven Spaulders, and Ice Striker's Cloak. Other than that her gear was just from leveling. Our guild took her into Ony10 because we were short a DPS, she pulled 2600 (beating one of our regulars), got Shadowstrike, and then we went to Koralon and she pulled 3100 (beating 4 of our regulars).
Skill goes a long ways as a cat, which is probably why we like it so much.

On anouther note I went down on a mob and pulled 2.3k it was a normaly 77 mob. Might have had something to do with the 9k Bite I had at the end but I am not sure.

Shred does more damage than mangle, but not
that
much more. Was he using SR, rip or rake? There is more dps tied up in the correct use of those abilities than in the difference between shred and mangle, particularly at low gear levels.
I think it's all bull sh
i
t. Probably he was just idling about to get loot, auto attacking. 1K DPS is either a bad lie (if he was using mangle - which does 3K DPs all by itself, spammed) - or simply the result of auto attack -> watch TV raid tactic.
Cool story bro.
Indeed.

I'm with you Aadramelekh, I can auto-attack and pull 1.5k. As for trying to get high numbers like most noob Dps Recount chasers, if thats what ur after just swipe trash for the win. Man I've hit 15k in Naxx 25 on trash.
The real skill is in using ur rotations and positioning on Raid Bosses.
I've hit crazy ass Dps when using my Cat correctly. 38k Crits and 6-7k Overall in a Boss fight.
Before you say its bull!@#$ I have the screenshots...

Theres a few pictures, Trash in Naxx 25, Big Crits on Thadd and 6.6k overall in Ulduar 10
Btw you have nice gear and a poo UI!

Who cares about UI? It's overrated. And it definitely doesn't mean skillz.
Nice screens :D Naxx 25 is one of the best places for feral druids to put Swipe at work. I was doing that when your kitty was but a suckling cub (back in February this year) -
click
. And a 38K FB! Omg! Oh wait... it's Thaddius... pffft... overrated.
I'm just teasing :P Good job there!

They are located in every capital city. This
page concerning training dummies
should provide you with accurate information regarding their location.

y'know, I really didn't look into it
that
much. All I noticed on the Koralon fight was 12 mangles, 0 shreds, and the fact he died (ofc, only 12 mangles tells you that as well). No idea about the rest, haven't taken a screenshot and it's off my recount already. So I dunno.
On a sidenote, I just checked out his armory and he's resto/balance atm... So either that was his triple spec (like resto is mine for healing some 5mans), or he's still uncertain what spec to go for.
Another sidenote, my mangle last night crit for 7k and my shred for 11k (kitty spec but still using the stoneblood flask). So indeed not
that
much more.

A yes 38k FB crits on Thaddius ... that brings back memories of my feral OP days xD my offspec gear is too subpar now to still top meters, although I can still get second on recount on Firefighter (rip ticks ftw!).

1) Test dummies are a crappy test of your actual DPS. Dots do not work properly and more importantly test dummies do not move. Very rarely do you come across fights where movement is a nonissue (read: never)
Turns out he wasn't trying to brag about his "actual DPS" at all -- he was showing what he could do in a very controlled and repeatable environment to give a basis for comparison that any of us could go try to beat at any time.
2) You didn't list the actual duration which can change the data considerably.
A little bit of thought tells me the combat was about 228 seconds long (0.93 speed, 245 auto-attacks).
3) There are different attack tables for different level mobs as you know, hence attacking a level 80 dummy is not giving you proper data for the only time it matters, in a raid.
Again, he's not trying to say anything about his raid DPS... he's just offering a number for comparative purposes...
Stop being defensive if I call you out, fix these problems or report on them yourself and then you can flex your epeen. If I doubt you, its because I can see problems with your data right off the bat.
Next time your raid does Koralon 25 then record that data and feel free. Or if you can come up with a better test bed for dps data (hint: nothing in Ulduar will work properly) then please get back to me.
Read over that and ask yourself if you sounded like a D-bag. If so, most people who don't know you would probably agree. If not, then you and I have differing methods of "D-bag judgment."
BTW -- Hey Aadr L2P, sheesh.
