First Kara visit

an off-tank with a well-geared main tank and a decent group overall.
We managed a nearly full clear. We couldn't do Nightbane because no one had an urn. We one-shotted every other boss. I only died once the entire time...on Prince. I didn't re...

Boomkin Debate: Crit or Haste?
2010-03-30 00:00:00
Ok, I normally raid as a resto druid but I finally got the chance to go boomkin for once in Gruuls and I cranked out over 1k dps and was 4th on the damage done (I love, LOVE 5-6k starfire crits). I generally have gone for the whole "stack a piss load of crit" and watch your tank get nervous as you near in on his threat levels. Now, the real question I'm trying to get at here is what do you guys think is more beneficial towards boomkins. Stacking a high amount of crit or going for a c...

The history of the Druid class
2010-03-29 00:00:00
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.
so i made a druid.
As It Was
heres a link to what the retail launch druid talents looked like:
OG Talents
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.
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 p...

going resto, need enchant suggestions
2010-03-27 00:00:00
A good site to review for pre-raid resto gear is Also I would recommend downloading Rawr. You can import your armory profile and you can see how different gear and enchants will affect your abilities. -Hakana Level 80 Tauren Druid DeathFrmAfar Level 61 Blood Elf Hunter UncleArthur Level 34 Orc Warlock ShamCow Level 17 Tauren ShamanYou seem to be in the same place that I was a few weeks ago. I was feral and noticed the complete lack of healers so I switched to resto. I would say make a list of gear that you ...

Forced Hearth while in Cat? (Edit: Punished Get Rewarded)
2010-03-26 00:00:00
I 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. So what gives? I've never seen this before. Edit: 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...

question relating to armor
2010-03-25 00:00:00
I realize this has probably been asked before, but I've dug back a few (5 or so) pages and couldn't find anything... I have a tauren druid (obviously), and I'm getting close to dual speccing... I'm also getting close to level 70, which, not having lich king is where I'll be at for quite some time.... so to the question... I'm looking for uber lvl 70 druid armor sets (or not) for both restoration and feral... I've looked at the site in the armor sets section, but I really don't know what I'm looking for (this is my main toon, she's my pride and joy)... I'd ask guildmates, but I'm the only high level druid... if it helps any, i'm looking to go melee dps with the feral ... I realize what armor is best really relates more to personal tast...

fast or slow weapon (this time with full words)
2010-03-24 00:00:00
It will all depend on your spec and your playstyle. Your question entails multiple answers. "is a faster range weapon or a slower best?" Let's take into consideration how you're spec'd. If you are a BM spec, you are pumping out arrows a lot faster then an MM spec. As such you would want a faster bow to help with your flurry of arrows being hurled at the enemy, allowing you to crit more often, and in turn give you more dps at a much faster pace. For BM Spec I would suggest the Grand Marshall's Bullseye at 1.80 Speed. Why? Because with a BM spec that will be greatly reduced, and you will be pumping out arrows very very quickly. It's nice for pvp to be able to interrupt any caster with your arrows alone, not to mention your pet will be constantly on them. There's no way they can cast anything but an instant cast spell out. Now for MM spec (what I currently am), I would highly recommend a slower more damaging bow. I say "more damaging" only in the displayed damage of the bow. I currently still use my Rhok, I love it, has great high-end damage. I crit for a lot more on the high-end with this bow,...

really bothering question for me!
2010-03-18 00:00:00
Well, Healthpools and Manapools can vary enormously between Hunters. It all depends on what kind of playstyle you have, and what you usually do.

Question about tailstriders
2010-03-16 00:00:00
Well, Tallstriders have (in my opinion) one of the most import skills a pet can have, and that's Dash, so it will at least be fast to the monster- especially since the chase speed normalization. Plus, Mazzranache is PINK. You can't beat that.
