The history of the Druid class2010-03-29 00:00:00hi. im Quor, and this is Druidic History 101. its a thread thats designed for the newer druids out there, and for people who dont know anything about druids that just might wander by. im writing this to give everyone who stops in an idea about what druids were, what they went thru, and what theyve become. so sit down friends, brethren, young ones....and learn. <br />About Me <br />ive been playing druid since the orignal retail launch of the game. i picked WoW up about a week after the launch (didnt preorder), and having come fresh off of final fantasy 11 (as a warrior) i knew that warriors were a VERY gear dependant class. gearing a warrior is expensive, and im not a guy whos savvy about making money. plus i wanted something different. i did a little research online, and came up with three choices; rogue, hunter, or druid. well, rogues and hunters seemed like damage dealers, and i didnt want to be a dime-a-dozen class, so druid it was. plus i LOVE shapeshifting. the very idea of it just makes me all tingly. im a big Werewolf: The Apocalypse fan for those White Wolf faithful out there, and druids fit that little niche pretty nicely. <br />so i made a druid. <br />As It Was <br />heres a link to what the retail launch druid talents looked like: <br />OG Talents <br />ya. thats right. huricane used to be a TALENT. and im sure many of you are wondering what the hell is. look down a little further in balance and youll see "weapon balance". 10 more damage with melee weapons. easily the most useless talent in game, being in the casting tree like it is. <br />click the next tab and check out feral. bloated, aint it? as of today, the only talents in the feral tree that are completely untouched are ferocity and feral charge. everything else has either been moved, adjusted, or just plain tossed out. im especially fond of the TWO 31-pt talents at the bottom, one of which is a 2-pointer. while a passive -25 to shifting costs aint bad, an extra combo on pounce was laughable (altho with the recent changes, it doesnt sound like such a bad idea anymore). <br />in short, feral and balance were TERRIBLY broken. hurricane completely sucked (it was pbaoe...or point blank aoe...think channeled arcane explosion), the rest of balance was, to be nice, crap, and feral....feral made grown war veterans weep. <br />it wasnt just talents tho. we didnt have a lot of the skills we have now, skills many druids consider as staples. <br />remember how leveling from 20-32 was? when youve got cat form, but all you have is claw, rake, rip, and that opening shred? well, imagine that, but all the way to 60. thats right, there was no ferocious bite. that didnt come until a few months later. there also no such thing as frenzied regeneration, or ba...
Forced Hearth while in Cat? (Edit: Punished Get Rewarded)2010-03-26 00:00:00I was in the hallway near violet hold in cat form looking through atlas when all of a sudden I got a loading screen. Once the game came back up, it was as if I just hearthed because I had a 60min cool down, but I was still in cat as soon as the screen loaded... and you can't use hearthstone while in cat. <br />So what gives? I've never seen this before. <br />Edit: <br />Had 43mins til cd was up as of 4mins ago. I went outside to do some work and came back in and noticed the 43min cd remaining with me still in cat. I alt-tabbed to look at a video for a fight and then...

and wanted toreate a support alt 2010-02-05 00:00:00I rently hit 70 on my main and wanted toreate a support alt. I had a question about there being alot of +healing gear in the game to be a good healer. I wanted to know if druid or paladin would be better also. thanks <br />Well what im doing now seems like a good idea imo.

But i think a better idea would be lvling enhaement and going resto after 50. Youan still main heal most instaes wit...
Importance Of WOW Gold In The Game2009-09-24 00:00:00There are many reasons why buy wow accounts has become such a huge gaming phenomenon. Players can create and customize their characters, team up with other players to do quests, go at their own pace to complete quests themselves, and try out various classes and professions to see what they like best. Taking the easy way out by buying gold instead of earning it does not allow you to fully appreciate this game and disrupts gameplay for others as well. You will have plenty of time and several opportunities to make more money as you go through Azeroth, so ignore the "World of Warcraft buy gold cheap" offers, and just enjoy the game as it is meant to be played.<br /><br />As one of the most popular video games, World of Warcraft, also known to buy WOW gold, makes millions of video game lovers crazy. It抯 not strange that many people around always say their friends have been addicted in it because these game players keep on playing it on ...

World Of Warcraft Add-ons: Utilities To Help World Of Warcraft Players2009-08-13 00:00:00This article is originated from www.brighthub.com. World of Warcraft is the world's most popular massively multiplayer role-playing game, with a player population the size of a small country. Among its many winning factors is the customizable game client, which allows you to make and install add-ons which enhance the game. Here we list five of the most useful and indispensible World of Warcraft add-ons for your gaming needs. AuctioneerAuctioneer installs into your auction-house interface and your tool-tips to give you up-to-date information on the economic situation on your server. Just go to the auction-house and set it scanning to populate the database. From that point on, every item's tooltip will have the price of the item when sold to a merchant, the average price of the item on the auction-house, and how many of the items were for sale the last time you scanned. A full-featured panel on the auctions screen allows you to find the best price to set for your items and to figure out bidding strategies, and the logs allow you to track your sales and keep track of both good people to buy from and good customers.This little add-on has successfully turned me into an auction-house tycoon on every character I have played past level 30. The reason I say past level 30 is because the add-on isn't magic...it gives you an edge, but you still need to figure out the strategies yourself. If you have a head for business and a keen sense of markets, however, this add-on gives you all the data you need to get rich and have fun doing it.CartographerAs the name implies, Cartographer is a mapping utility. It installs into your normal map interface to give you coordinates, change the look and feel of your map, mark and color-code your group members and raid groups, and view...
