Rotation & Gameplay Rotation

• Keep up 5 stacks of Lacerate

• Faerie Fire (Feral)
• Mangle (Bear) – Increases damage from Maul
• Maul
• Lacerate – Keep 5 stacks on the target all the time
• Swipe (Bear)

Long Cooldown Abilities

• Barkskin – has a low cooldown of 1 minute. Use it as much as you can but time it to maximize the efficacy
• Survival Instincts – is that last resort when you’re almost dead. Gives some extra time for the healers
• Survival Instincts + Frenzied Regeneration is a good combo.
• Enrage – a standard rage-generator. But It won’t reduce armor if you have Druid T10 Feral 4P Bonus (4 items from T10 set)
