How to customize the CowTip tooltip AddOn

The Dreambound druid blog lists the customization they use on the CowTip tooltip mod to make it provide a great deal of information in very little space.

Customized Need To Know AddOn tracks your Feral ability timers

Karthis from Of Teeth and Claws is looking for the right AddOn to track the timers on his Feral abilities since 3.1 broke his current favorite. So he took the Need To Know AddOn and customized it for his needs.

Feral Druid UI for both Bear Tank and Cat DPS

Karthis from Of Teeth and Claws posts both his UIs, the one he uses as a Bear tank and for doing DPS in Cat form. He also includes a list and explanation of all the AddOns for each UI configuration.

BadKitty is good for tracking feral debuffs on mobs

Ylee at Furry Bear Ass sings the praises of feral buff/debuff tracker Addon BadKitty. It not only tells you what debuffs you have put on the mob, it also tracks the ones placed by your raidmates. From the AddOn description:

"Currently it has both Bear and Cat functionality, watching Savage Roar, Mangle/Trauma, Rip, Rake, Demoralizing Shout/Roar/CoW, Barkskin, Berserk, Tiger’s Fury, Faerie Fire, Lacerate, Combo Points, Rage, and Energy."

In-game item comparison tools

Flyv is recommending a new scale to import into Pawn for Druid Feral Cat DPS item assessment. If that sentence confuses you, I’ll break it down. Pawn is an AddOn that assigns a value to any piece of gear you look at in-game. You can then compare values of different pieces of equipment to judge which one is an upgrade. But Pawn needs you to create a weighted scale so it knows what you value (agility! strength!,etc.) Flyv is pointing out that a popular Druid theorycrafter has created a scale you can import into Pawn to help you judge gear accurately. I can’t attest to the new scale, but since I respec between cat, tree and bird three to four times a week I’m a big fan on this AddOn that helps me understand what loot is an upgrade for all my different gear sets.
