In the 19 bracket there's nothing wrong with using your bear form when needed, but your real value to the group will be in healing, rooting, and using things like Faerie Fire to tag rogues and lower armor for melee targets. @Moewe – that’s a very nice point that a lot of druids are missing right now.

Yes you don't do great damage. However if you don't want to be a caster and focus on flag running you can do just fine. @Moewe

Yes feral 10-19 is very limited with only bear form. Yes you don’t do great damage. However if you don’t want to be a caster and focus on flag running you can do just fine.

However, if you are leveling an alt and thinking of heirloom items, then resto/balance is going to be easier than resto/feral gear. @Eric – I always just kept up a melee & caster set.

Damage is mediocre at best, useful talents are nonexistant. Just play healer or Balance! You can still be the main flag carrier, you almost lose nothing to wearing equip with strength or agility. b) It's extremely important to learn powershifting as soon as possible, nothing can stop a powershifting travel form druid (except mana issues). By powershifting I mean: keybind a makro that makes you leave your current form and then makes you switch to that form immediately again. /cancelform /cast travel form (Sorry, I play on a different language-client, didn't test this makro) Just a few comments from someone who has PvPt his druid from 10 to 60 now (10k kills):

Question: with spellpower being of interest to both resto and moonkin, did you have an easier time, gear-wise, with going resto and balance, or does it really not matter all that much? Eric Ah, thanks.

Below 40, I have healed every low level instance as either feral or balance spec with just a decent set of caster greens.

I have feral druid alts, and have tanked and DPSed in PUGs, but there always seems to be a near-constant need for healers on my server, and I'd like to see all the instances before Cataclsym hits... Thanks, Eric Lissanna,
