A mangle with 2 shreds should give you 4 combo points with 33+% crit.

Are you using Tigers Fury at all? Powershifting wrongly so you lose energy? Anything else you might want to mention about your playstyle other than "I just start mashing buttons"?

If you play it right you should never end up with less than 4 combo points when the mangle runs out, and the majority of the time should have 5. Wait for 80+ energy before you rip->mangle and you'll always have the base energy to mangle + 3xshred, especially with procs.

LOL sorry, to answer your question, I dont use tigers fury, I know that its just a waste of energy, but I do think Im powershifting wrong. With 100 energy, and the start of a boss fight, I go in, mangle/(sometimes mangle again)/Shred/Shred ---> at this point after this if I have 4 combo points I'll try and get a 5th one. So i tend to go with the attack that comes up first. If Shred and mangle both come up at the same time, i'll shred, but if mangle only comes up I'll mangle to 5 combo points and then rip. I try to keep rip up as much as possible with a mangle applied.

Im just trying to get more of an understanding of what Im doing wrong. Im sure Im losing out on dps because I dont always rip at 5 combo points. I try to make sure that mangle is applied first before I rip, cause an non-mangled rip is so poor. But basically your saying that I should, mangle/shred/shred ---> By this point I should have 4 combo points, then i wait till I have 75-80+ energy/rip----> then what? Do I just start over with a mangle/shred/shred or do i powershift.
