Feral Addons/3rd Party Resources

[coldbear]

Pool addon information here to avoid duplicating each other's work finding solutions to our common needs. Post what you want added and check in when you need something, but keep in mind that not everyone may be as knowledgeable as you.

Addons listed are generally aimed at the newly complex feral concerns of tracking selfbuffs, target debuffs, OOC procs and cooldowns.

Web Apps/Programs/Spreadsheets
Rawr - Home - "...program for comparing and exploring gear for Bears, Cats, Moonkin..." by our very own Astrylian.
The Druid Wiki  ToskksDPSGearMethod "...adaptive DPS measurement, stat balancing, and item ranking tool."
The Druid Wiki  ToskksBearTTLCalculator "...calculator and listing method able to directly compare all tanking stats..."
MediaFire - Mijae's Spreadsheet
feralbynight - Google Code "DPS, TPS, Tankpoints and other goodies for cat and bear druids via C++ programming and LUA addon."
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=rXOB-tOrwruDI_iCE9l0I7g Karthis' stat weighting comparisons.

Addons: Feral-specific or very commonly used by ferals
BadKitty - Addons - Curse - "by Anatinus of Gul'dan, a one-stop-shop for Feral [buff/]debuff watching." - the benchmark ne plus ultra for effective CAT AND BEAR solutions
Drood Focus - "adds a window with all the information that a feral druid must have" - great sounds and graphic effects

Facemauler - Addons - Curse - "a spell recommendation mod for feral druids in cat form." Author Yukizawa is asking for improvement suggestions in this thread. Please be constructive.
Hear Kitty - Addons - Curse "...plays soothing but distinct orchestral sounds when you gain and spend combo points It's like having your own theme music! You won't have to watch for red combo dots; when you hear the final note played, you'll know it's time for a finishing move." The screenshot on the curse page is pure win - http://mediabeta.curse.com/Curse.Projects.ProjectImages/3320/5012/hear-kitty-hear-kitty-in-action.jpg
CatFight - Addons - Curse "Calculates statistics for various Feral Druid abilities, for personal evaluation of performance."

If dead link - then Google is your friend, and please post if you find a better link. People may also appreciate if you make small mention of any addon or resource that you simply cannot stand playing without, even if it's not druid/feral-specific. For me that would be Train Wreck : WoWInterface Downloads : Miscellaneous and Minimalist : WoWInterface Downloads : Ace: Interface Enhancements

That's pretty darn comprehensive... Nice. Good work, anyone else want this stickied?

Plus it looks clear and comprehendable, which is always a major plus for any summary listing.

[deathkar]

sticky imo

[Griphon]

I cant thank you enough.

Sticky please.

[amorob]

Thanks Coldbear - this was posted on Elitist Jerks for a while right?

[Thyl of Vindivation]

Yes please...  GJ OP!

[Emmerald]

do you realy need any ones opinion before sticking this imba list 

While that was my opinion also, I wanted to hear what others said. While not democracy, maybe an enlightened dictatorship?

Edit: Should be a sticky now.
Edit2: I will remove these discussions at one point in the future and reserve any discussion within this thread for feedback on improving the list.

CB05 Guide: How To Feral DPS RELEASED!

Big fan of your site, just released a video that has a (very short, like 1-second short) plug of your website.

Number of bad words in this movie: 6
This is not for the elite of the elite.
This is for the average feral dps player who wants to improve and learn how to continue improving long after she's forgotten about this video.

English is my third language, doing voiceovers was a pain.

This movie is packed with info. WORKING AS INTENDED - or the movie would be 30min long.

Soundtrack (can't really hear it anyway):
tAKIDA x2
Jonathan Coulton
Bruce Springsteen w/ Mike Ness
Rancid x2

Seems I recommended a feral blog (Flyv) that just went non-WoW a while ago. Should've recommended Fluid Druid instead. Oh well.

I recently found this addon:

Nug Combo Bar
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info6308-NugComboBar.html

I don't like to use 1 addon for feral dps, so this addon is nice if you need your combo points to stand alone from other addons. Also you can increase the combo point bar in size, change the colours of the dots seperately and you can also choose another shape. Enjoy!
