Tips and tactics

 * In Cat Form, especially PvE, this is pretty much the best way to start a fight until Ravage (Level 32); Prowl up behind the mob, Shred for a huge initial damage. This is always a good move when grouping, because if someone else is holding the aggro, shredding from behind is serious damage while in combat (Ravage requires prowling). Best finisher is Rip and with Glyph of Shred the duration increases for each Shred dealt.


 * One good tactic is to pick up Brutal Impact. While the target is stunned from Pounce, a cat druid can have just enough energy to use a talented Shred twice. ALSO with 5/5 Rend and Tear the target will take an additional 20% from the Shreds after the Pounce from the pounce bleed.
