are ftw. Who's with me?

When i played, i had a druid.

I am with you.

i only like feral druids, moonkins can go kiss my ass

I've got a 68 drood, but pretty much all mage ftw after that.

Got to level 8... and went to my mage who's now 80. lol

12k Ferocious Bite Crits are fun!

My druid is level 22 and its pretty boring and weak tbh. Went back to my Warlock and DK.

If you're anything other spec than feral, then "ur doing it wrong." Feral is the way to go when leveling, and it only picks up faster as you get LotP and Mangle.

Yeah i am feral, but i still find it really boring.

You might find it boring, but it damn sure isn't weak. Very few other classes can solo as efficiently as a Feral Druid can. Feral Druid can solo with little to no downtime at all.

I'll stick with my DK thanks. I find it very easy to level and fight. With my druid i can only take one mob at a time.

Heh, young druid, you do not know our ways yet.

Killing 8+ mobs in the span of about 6 seconds is fun!

Then there is always bear form if you wanna be safe about it.

^^. I just love seeing people take on movs 1 by 1 .. then I /bearform run in tank 15 of them and kill all at the same time.

<3. And also .. damn >.< Missed out on 3 T7.5 pieces last night in 3/4's of Nax 25. Chest/legs/shoulders. Tomorrow is Military + Saph/Kel .. buggers better drop me 7.5 pff. But I did get my new boots of vile .. so all I would need now is new bracers ( pvp bracers ftl ) / Heritage / new legs ( Chain gang leggings ftl ) and POSSIBLY a new idol .. the old 70 idol of terror.

Also Cuch, obv you more experienced than me, what are your opinions on Journey's End / Origin of Nightmares ? Atm I have the origin .. and looking at Journey's stats I am hesitating to aim for it. I mean .. the Origin has better overall stats .. and the armor is a plus even tho it does not get multiplied anymore .. it's still sexy. But, the Journey's has higher AP .. alot more AP which in theory would be better for threat ( Last night in nax 25 I was pulling 7-8k threat ) .. so in theory I wouldn't need it for tanking. So my question is .. should I take it for main spec tanking / offspec dps or not at all ?

My armoury for reference with new boots.

Eh just noticed I still have my pvp hands / cloak on >.< Replace hands with T7.5 tank ones and Cloak of armed Strife ;o

Well I've only been playing druid since last summer, but here goes.

Chest enchant: 10 stats is better, it gives 175 health along with .27% dodge plus some crit and AP.

Weapon: Origin is still the best tanking weapon, Journey's End is worse than some heroic drops for tanking, but is best cat staff.

Idol: Yes, you definitely should get the idol. Otherwise there is a quest idol similar to the 70 one from Borean I believe and if you can't get any of those, there's a Venture Coin one.

Ring: Go run Drak'tharon on heroic until you get Keystone Great-Ring. It is THE BEST bear ring in game atm. You won't replace it until Uldaur.

Neck: Heritage is good, Boundless Ambition is better if you can get it.

Belt: Go get 1630 arena rating and grab the deadly belt, it's best you can get for tanking.

To conclude: You have better tank gear than me! I'm not really hardcore raiding this expansion, just a warm body when guild needs me. I'm more interested in PvP. Go Go Feral/Shaman

That's me if you're curious.

Chest enchant - I'll have to leave it at 275 hp for abit till I get more gold / Abyss Crystals for the enchant ;d

Weapon - Ah good, I had some guy giving me an earful the day I got my Origin saying it was 2nd best. Kinda knew it wasn't but .. as I said I'm new to the game ;d.

Idol - Yeah, planned to farm Kara abit, but that didn't work out too well. Cab to do key quest ... and can't be arsed to get rogue to lockpick it. But guess I'll have to do it some time >.>

Ring - Hmm think i should go for Keystone + Signet of the Impregnable fortress ?

Neck - Hmm, comparing stats ( Heritage = HP 890.4 / AP 100.3 / Dodge% 1.04 ## Where as Boundless Ambition has HP 996.4 / AP 114.3 / EP 3.8 / Dodge% 0.30% ). So I'm not too sure weather I should trade the heritage in for it as I'd miss out on approx 0.70% dodge .. which is quite abit .. alltho I'd gain 100 hp and 336 armor ... eek. I guess we'll see which drops first ;d.

Belt - Well, that might take ahwile. Won't do Arena till I get more comfortable with fast paced action. Normal BG's get bit too hectic for me sometimes .. think it's mainly cause I run out of buttons ;o.

OH well hehe ;d I try to raid whenever someone needs me .. and I'm strating to learn all the in's and out's of all the 25 man raids. Ran 3/4'ths of Nax 25 last night as a MT .. only wipe was on Thaddius as usual. Lag + Polarity shift = lol. So hm, quite happy atm with gear .. alltho REALLY need to replace Bracers with Thrusting Bands and deff need T7/7.5 legs.

Also, you got a very nice set man .. loving the journey's end too. UGH such a shame Origin looks so pathetic .. would love the look of Staff of the Plague Beast on it ... >.< Oh and damn you got the 7.5 chest T_T Me wantys : <

Edit: Just did a DTK and whaddya know ;d The Ring dropped ;d.

http://wowthinktank.blogspot.com/2008/1 ... t-304.html

Is the site I use to compare tanking gear since the guy seems to know what he's talking about.

For 70 badges, you can probably solo Slave Pens, Ramparts, and/or some of the other easy 70 heroics.

As for arena, it's not that hard, just burst down someone. My new team went 8-2 monday and we're at like 1613 already. Just find someone else that doesn't suck and it's not too hard as feral/healer until you start getting up there pretty high.

Ah cheers, seems I should dust off my Nerubhide cloak again then ;o. Had swapped it cause I presumed Armed Strife was better .. guess not :O.

Also, just solo'd Ramparts .. now doing Slave pens .. and damn first boss is annoying with his bloody totems : <

Yeah, defense isn't that great for us, since we only get dodge from it because bears don't parry or block.

Sethekk should be soloable, and if you've done the questline, you can get an extra badge and chance at mount.

I tried Slave Pens .. could not kill 2nd boss before he went frenzy. Tried it 4 times with different strats .. kept dieing when he was at 5%. Prolly can do it with a potion but cba. Went to furnace instead and .. well that was piss easy ....

AND this dropped from trash on 2nd boss:




Quite a pretty penny there .. oh and a Six of storms dropped .. but thats only botu 50G .. compared to the 1000G I can make from the sword ;d


Ty ty ^^ Now only need 13 more badges .. will have them saturday.

errr... good luck selling that sword for 1000g. its from level 70 so a green in NR would be better but it looks like a lightsaber so its pwn

Yeah well ^^ I google'd it and some peopel willing to pay 1k for it as it's a good caster sword for those lvl 70 ppl.


If not I'll roll a guy and use it ;d


EDIT:

Cuch, heh got my idol now .. and damn lol .. Proc from mongoose 150 Agility .. proc from this 65 agility. I can buy the Darkmoon card now .. but want mammoth first i think .. if not that would be another 300 agility.

Would it stack 300+150+65 ? Or does mongoose cancel out darkmoon ? Cause 515 agility procs would be bloody damn nice lol ...

so i made a druid, soooo cute =]

@Cuch

Right, been teaming up with a m8 and been making sick amounts of money. To the point I now have 15k gold. Now, for me there are 2 choices .. either I go out and spend 10k on a Darkmoon card to give me an INSANE boost in mitigation when it procs and abit of extra threat.

You think I should go out and get one for that .. or save up abit and be a nab with a Tundra Mammoth ;o ?

TL:DR Is a Darkmoon Card worth it for feral tank ?

can i has money making strategy from droods...



<----at his most adorable.

go to class!

oh wait, u has stoled my snow

Basically I mine anywhere from 500-700 ores a day .. takes no time at all in icecrown as nodes can give 2-7 ores. These .. I give to my Jewelcrafting m8 who prospects them into Gems.

( I could do this myself, but cba leveling JC )

These gems he either cuts, or sells as they are. From about 600 ores you gain approx 1200G profit on my server .. and everythign sells within 30 mins usually. We split it 60 / 40 in favor of me .. win win for both of us. And the added fact that with mining comes Crystalized elements .. and Titanium ores .. With those last 2 alone I make approx 500+ gold a day ( Titansteel Bar =120G / Eteranl Earths x20 = 180G ) etc etc.

Seeing as 3.1 is coming soon(?) people will be needing gems again .. so prices will rise soon enough ^^


EDIT:

Was gonna say here's proof I'm not bullshitting you guys ...



But then 10 mins after guy whispered me bout a cheap Niobles deck .. now only have 2k gold ;p

ZOMG GIEF

I have a tree druid with 1900 SP atm, I havn't played him to full epic or anything yet, I pretty much quit WoW 3 weeks ago.

or well quit, at least a big break. Bored as hell from the game.

But yeah my druid was my favourite char for both leveling and endgame, it's so diverse.



Yeah duh at level 22, at level 22 pretty much no class can solo multiple mobs a mage can AoE but he will be OOM after one pull. Hunters dont have volley yet, warlocks will be OOM after one AoE, rogues will die, warriors will die, priests will OOM / die, well ok a paladin can take multiple mobs at level 22.

It's pretty ignorant to judge a class that early.

Last night when I logged I had 62 silver and owed a friend 2.6k gold. Lol. But now I have 420 JC to go with my 325 enchanting. Tossed up about 200 Infinite Dust on AH, time to sit back and reap the profits.

I've been making tons with herb/alch lately.

I make an average of 550-750 an hour. Good enough for me

All I do is farm lichbloom/icethorn in Storm Peaks and craft spellpower flasks, with GatherMate + GatherMateData, it fkin rocks. I made myself a rotation on the map and it's seriously a brilliant way to make cash.

Plus ofcourse, my rotation is in time-lost drake's path so I'm constantly spamming my /target macro with my mouse as I fly around
