Shred is a special high direct damage attack from behind the target. It is learned at level 46 for 1g 95s.

Notes

  • This attack serves as the basis for any feral druid's group DPS.
  • Ability druid mangle2 [Mangle] increases the damage from Shred by 30%, and should always be up on the target when using shred.
  • You do not have to be Prowl (druid ability)ing to use Shred; you just need to be behind your target.
  • You will also want to have a Rake or Rip applied to your target before using Shred as well, as it will significantly improve damage once you have the appropriate talent.

Tips and tactics

  • In Cat Form, especially PvE, this is pretty much the best way to start a fight until Ability druid ravage [Ravage] (Level 32); Ability druid prowl [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 Ability ghoulfrenzy [Rip] and with Inv glyph majordruid [Glyph of Shred] the duration increases for each Shred dealt.
  • One good tactic is to pick up Ability druid bash [Brutal Impact]. While the target is stunned from Ability druid supriseattack [Pounce], a cat druid can have just enough energy to use a talented Shred twice. ALSO with 5/5 Ability druid swipe [Rend and Tear] the target will take an additional 20% from the Shreds after the Ability druid supriseattack [Pounce] from the pounce bleed.

Patch changes

  • Cataclysm Patch 4.0.6 (2011-02-08): Now deals 450% damage plus 1487, up from 350% plus 1156.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): Ranks 8 and 9 base points reduced by about 10%. Scaling from attack power unchanged.
  • WoW Icon update Patch 1.4.0 (2005-04-19): Now properly increases the attack power contribution by the percent modifier.
