Best druid changes of 2009

So, for New Years, I wanted to try and reflect more on the positives that have happened for druids in 2009. I’m keeping this short, so I won’t have long explanations.

Best Game Change:

• Dual Spec feature! Now, we can be 2 druid specs instead of just one.
• I think the changes to the grouping system with random cross-server 5-mans comes in a close 2nd.

Best general druid change:

• Bear & Cat form graphics! Now, we have more variety in colors!

Best Resto change:

• Buffs for nourish! Druids in 2009 got more spell diversity in the form of Nourish becoming a viable healing spell to mix in with a healthy supply of HOTs.

Best Moonkin change:

• Eclipse becoming more worthwhile (even when people still don’t like it). Moonkin became more raid viable during WotLK & more accepted in PvE.

Best Cat change:

• Predatory strikes instant Nature spell buff for PvP.

Best Bear change:

• Savage Defense making druid tanking a little more interesting.

And that about covers it! What are your favorite 2009 changes?  Have a great New Year’s Eve!
