Tips/Tricks

1. Try your best to let
   Rip
   fall off before re-applying it, although sometimes you might need to re-apply it before it falls off.
2. Try your best to re-apply
   Mangle
   and
   Savage Roar
   right before they expire.
3. It's okay to use
   Omen of Clarity
   procs on something besides
   Shred
   , it's not the end of the world.
4. It's okay to use
   Shred
   when you are at 5 Combo Points. This will happen when
   Rip
   or
   Savage Roar
   will expire soon, but you don't have enough time to
   Ferocious Bite
   and gain the Combo Points required to refresh your DoTs.
5. If your
   Rip
   won't last the full duration, switch to
   Ferocious Bite
   .
6. You can use
   Faerie Fire (Feral)
   and
   Nature's Grasp
   . during downtime to proc
   Omen of Clarity
   .
