And are you sure it doesn't increase Rip damage?

I can understand why it would not increase mangle damage however. And I've stopped trusting Rawr, since it places the [Pillar of Ferocity] at the top of it's bear weapon list for reasons of threat generation. |
0.000 - Apply Rip
2.500 - Mangle - Gain buff.
3.000 - Rip Tick #1
...
12.000 - Apply rip with bonus AP
12.500 - Idol proc disappears.
Now I'm going to go right around and say why that doesn't work. Let's work WITH ENERGY!
0.000 - Rip - Assume 100 energy, > 70
1.000 - Tick > 90
2.5 - Mangle > 65
3.0 - Tick > 85
3.5 - Shred > 43
4.5 - Shred > 1
5.0 - Tick > 21
6.5 - Powershifted > 40
7.0 - Tick > 60
7.5 - Shred > 18
9.0 - Tick > 38
11.0 - Tick > 58.
With no OoC/2t4 procs, if you need to go as far as 3 shreds, you're 42 energy behind. If it happens twice in a row, you can't maintain the cycle and then you lose rip uptime.
And why wouldn't you think the highest FAP weapon that has armor is the best threat weapon for druids? Dodge on wildfury does jack all.
