Well I have logged onto the PTR and confirmed the behaviour for Harmony, and it’s good news. Casting a direct heal will give the druid the Harmony Buff for any hots cast for the next 10 seconds on any target. I was concerned it was going to only affect the hots on the target of [...]

Well it comes that time when we get to see our first sneak peak at the next tier sets. Here’s what they have to say about our Resto Druid pieces; Restoration two-piece Your periodic healing from Lifebloom has a 40% chance to restore 1% of your base mana each time it heals a target. Restoration [...]

Well looks like Bliz has some love for us Druids yet, with the following announcement actually making our Mastery worthwhile and workable in a real raid situation New Resto druid mastery: Increases the potency of your heals on targets upon which you have a hot. It benefits both hots and direct heals equally while still [...]

Well I did 2 5mans on the PTR, one as Upy and the other as a pre-build 85 druid troll (have to say… ugly). When running the 5man on Upy it was easy peasy, mana was manageable, the big thing I noticed was how slow Nourish seemed, especially when comparing it to Regrowth. I get [...]

Well when I first heard about Troll Druids I was a bit meh about the whole thing, not that I’m a big Lore person but it just seems out of place with the story line to date, but ok Bliz know best of course Here are some pics for you

Ok so I thought I’d throw my 2 cents worth onto the Interweb Understand that these are just my own opinions on each of the changes that affect us trees. All heal-over-time spells (HoTs) will benefit from crit and haste innately in Cataclysm. Hasted HoTs do not reduce their duration, but instead add additional HoT [...]

Stam, AC, Stam, Stam and maybe a little more AC. Did I mention Stamina? When it comes to big ugly lumps of mutated flesh that hit for up to 30k, relying on avoidance stats which ‘make it a little less likely’ that you’ll take a few consecutive hits over any given interval starts to look [...]

In line with my plan for the next 12 months I have twisted the arm of one of our guilds feral druids to hopefully contribute on a regular basis to the Blog. Introducing Katjia this is what he has to say about himself; I’ve played a Feral Bear from Maraudon through Stratholme, Kara to the [...]

One of the big changes for druids is that some of the changes means that depending on your healing style and also your assignments your optimum spec could vary a fair bit. For the first time since hitting 80 I will be running with 2 resto specs. Spec 1 I think this will be my [...]
