Nice write up here over on Wowinsider.com on the ever changing Balance Druids. I’ve been balance since before it was cool or even accepted. This was not due to some stand against the mob, or a statement of any kind. Back in the day I started out feral but my gear stunk and I had no idea what I was doing. I used to get hurt alot and die, alot. Once I realized I could heal myself and hurt things at the same time I was balance all the way. In fact I was called every name in the book, had my intelligence questioned on many occasions and generally considered a complete moron by some, simply for going balance! Can’t we all just get along? Any who, with some recent developments and upgrades there is a bit more respect out there for the balance boys. Ahhh, the fear in a hunters eyes when a fully blown Boomkin runs onto the field. The age of the Moonkin has arrived and all shall weep…
