I''m not suggesting2009-04-30 00:00:00From Ghosrawler, here:
I'm not suggesting that at all, and if you read what I said, it is simply paraphrasing what blizzard said about avoidaearmoraps. I said that by the end of lvl.80, you'll beapping it and that they'll be getting youloser to that point as theontentomes out(and 85% avoidaeap is still 'little ared' when itomes to stuff like arthas) in terms of utility, we have the option of utility. if we go for the felhound intspirit thing, that leaves spare raid slots for otherlassessps. blizzard already said they don't want to limit raids to mh. granted yes, the likely hood is that we'll hav...
Overridden by MagePriest2009-04-30 00:00:00Re: Felhunter buff. Overridden by MagePriest buffs (A Int and Div. Spirit, resptively). Guaranteed - not likely, guaranteed - there will be a mage in your 25-man raid. Whether there's a DS priest... we shall see. As for healthstones, they have been made unique so youan onlyarry one, last Ihked. Theyompletely overhauled mana gem mhans, so that's not evenomparable anyway. I'momplaining bause I want a sp that will be viable at all areas of play, and not one thatan or will be sat out bause someone elsean do it better.
last Ihked, unique means only 1 of eh item type. again ...
will only be able toarry2009-04-30 00:00:00Last Ihked, eh person will only be able toarry one healthstone of any kind. However, Soulwells are getting a buff to have 25harges. Also, Demo blows. Demo is a bad, ionsistent, boring sp that will be there for ONE THING - Demon Pt. And that's it. I plan on raiding as Destrtion not only bause I love the tree, but bause it doesn't fail at utility (at least THEYan sp both Imp. Imp and Frailty and get away with it, Fire or Shadow). That, and Destro lks will be th...
I do believe that Borean Tundra is2009-04-29 00:00:00I personally went to Howling Fjord, although I do believe that Borean Tundra is easier. I went there at level 68 bause I was tired of leveling in the outlands, and wanted to see what the hype was about. As for gear, it isn't a big deal. You will reple it pretty fast in Northrend. I know that Howling Fjord has a lot of dent quest rewards.
No, you're not. I used to find it a good idea to wait with going to outland at 60 rather than at 58, until I tually made the jump myself. I was pretty mh out of ...
any doubt that berserking is the best weps2009-04-29 00:00:00so, i guess there's doesn't seem to be any doubt that berserking is the best weps ehant. i'murrently running two Librarian Paperutters with the standard mute build 51137. i've been running berserker oh and mongoose mh. partly bause of theost of berserker mats and partly bause i've mostly been soloing and the possibility of a 50% armor redtionoerns me a bit. i just got Omen of Ruin whh i expt to use mh and am thinking of putting berserker on it and running with dual. i figure ian always run my mongoose l oh if i start to have trouble but things are dying so fast for me i don't imagine it'll matter. and ofourse raiding it shouldn't. eept perhaps in aoe situations. am i missing anything?

it before, a little about2009-04-17 00:00:00Bause some people have question it before, a little about history: I started wow as aasual gamer 2 weeks after itame out, bause ofollege I stopped. During I started up again, and then stopped due to lk of money. Know I am again playing WOTLK. The three periods eh had different flavors for Feral Druids were weak. at didn't deal the damage dedated dps did, and bear was so iapable of mahing up with other tanks that it bame nearly a proverb that bears were for hibernation. Youould go half the game without finding another feral. Also the ferals that were there weren't there bause it was easy. It...
are far behind other tanks In2009-04-17 00:00:00Oh, I don't think bear tanks are far behind other tanks. In ft on some fights (think Sarth 3d) they are preferable due to huge HP pool and extremely high armor. They got upgrades to aoe, whh maybe don't make them up to par with pallies and DK on aoe tanking, but they are as good as warrs. Yes, feral DPS is little low right now(devs agreed on that) but in late T that was not an issue. I believe some of the best guilds had ferals on top of DMg meters (I'm sorry butan't remember any names).

In cordae to my proposal to form a new nation, Druids of the Nerf (from now on DotN), I suggest for you approval thisonstitution. (All nations need aonstitution) In order to form a more perftlass, ensure right to cess of raids, to insure intelligent and skilled gaming, promote ourontinued arrogae due hereby establish thisonstitution of the Druids of the nerf. Artle 1 No Druid may attk any other druid outside of Battle Grounds or Arena. Really? your going to Gank another druid? Really? Go bk to your Warrior main. If on druid is attked by another druid outside of the BG, thislause no longer ...
us being last ple, I was talking2009-04-17 00:00:00When i was talking about us being last ple, I was talking about the pre state, and I was refering,heekily, to a "prefered" future state, where we would be behind other tanks. But get bk the synergy between tank andat for godsakes :)
Chimeria wrote:Rules and Bylaws Where did you learn to be feral? We're wild beasts, in the law of the jungle! Bears,ats and ravens arearnivores (I think seows eat plants), not some hpy DHETA resto-huggers. If you find something weaker, you kill it and eat it. If you find something stronger, you team up, kill it and eat it. Other druids are either family orompetition, and in times of hardsh family BOMESompetition. You want nerfs to weed out the weak, but don't want us to do the weeding? If I'm with another feral, I'm gonna make sure heanut it. If not, he gets left behind with the rest, I'm notarrying him through out oflass solidarity. The alternative is to rely on him in a pih, and find him off pking daisies, or emoting at the blood elves. As for hunters, if they're shooting the enemy, they're not shooting me. Besides, being a pet isn't so bad; we get extra buffs and ...
in 3 1 for bears (it will a ten2009-04-17 00:00:00There Is also a stamina nerf in 3.1 for bears (it will a ten peent lob off of heart of the wild). Anyway, the op was not meant to say that we areurrently inadequate, It was predting,heekily, a return to feral sking at an undilosed time in the future. It was a saast spoof of the wow druid forums, where the uninitiated would think the world is ending. Also, The main argument was tually that we should be nerfed so that all the power gamers that only play druids bause they think druids are broken will go home. ironally, that was referring to the type of player that would say that theyan't think of playing anything else that was weaker then a druid. Also, I don't remember refereing restoration at all (thelass o...
why blizzard has really been nerfing2009-04-17 00:00:00You know the only reason why blizzard has really been nerfing armor is bause some feral druids were already hitting the armorap for wrath. With the advent of 3.1 you'll only see your armor improve and your dps rise bause of all the bleedsritting.
I really don'tare about armor or health or anything like that. I just like my forms. Im more irritated by a supposed aqua manta ray mount or something that is rumored to beoming at at some point that is going to give riders + 100% swim speed bause itompetes with aquat form. Besides, from what I understand, nobodyares about the armor thing, so why do people keep bringing it up? A lot of people do seem to be bothered by the stamina nerf, and I'm tuallyurious about the numbers sie the forums over at blizz seem to berazy about the hotw nerf. Does anyone have numbers on that? Besides, I'm one of those snobbs that feels that the buffing of feral's in r...
