Repost: 4.3 Resto Druid Dungeon Companion

By Archive | Published: February 11, 2012

Today, we have a new “voices from the community” post by Shakk on US-Sargeras, in the guild Seriously Casual. He is a restoration druid, and today he will be talking about the new 5-man dungeons and strategies for resto druids. He may be joining us as a more permanent fixture (like Garnaph). We’ll work on improving the [...]

Repost: Profession bonuses unbalanced in 4.3

By Archive | Published: February 11, 2012

Your bonus is what you get from your profession, that you wouldn’t have before. The idea is that they are all equal, so the bonus int you get from Alchemy on your flask, equals [...]

By Archive | Published: February 11, 2012

So, Blizzard has started talking about what new toys druids will get in 5.0 with mists of pandaria. While I have to sometimes post about the bad things (like trying to explain why melee damage isn’t appropriate utility for moonkin druids), I also get to talk about the good things! One good thing coming for [...]

Repost: What’s wrong with melee moonkin (part 1)

By Archive | Published: February 11, 2012

Note before I move onto my post: Falling Leaves & Wings has a great post about this issue that is a little more succinct (and resto-oriented) than my version is going to be. The new 5.0 talent focus on bringing role-shifting and form-shifting back to druids would be great if it worked in the first place. However, [...]
