WoW Druid

So I’m pounding away getting Bolink up to 80. “Wait, what? Wtf?! Ur not lv 80?! Noob!” I know, I know. Life has, as they say, gotten in the way. But I’m almost there! Cata content is right around the corner. So…where was I? Right, the insane, foul mouthed engineer in Nesingwary Base Camp who likes to blow stuff up and hit bad guys with a stick of dynamite (actually…I think here is a perfect time to pay homage to Jimmy Walker…let’s call it Dynomite!”) Anyway…this stupid simple Escort style quest gave me a huge headache.

With a good group Violet Hold (a dungeon under that floating city of Dalaran) is a heck of a spot to really get your Druid Spell Rotations down.  I’ll typically pick this one up when looking for a Random Dungeon and have had amazing luck with the tanks I’m getting. For some reason it seems the Pally tanks just dominate this place. With a solid tank you can sit back and really get comfortable with the whole Solar and Lunar Rotation flow. Read more… »

One of the few abilities that WoW has not nerfed would be the Resto Druid’s natural ability to run a flag in WSG. The more you play one the more you come to realize just how unstoppable they can be in “train”ed hands. For maximum freight train effect, I chose the talents in the resto tree that boosted any spell or skill that is insta-cast. I had a fully BoA gear set of preened feathers and such and a nice twinkly head master’s charge for good luck. After a quick stop at the local AH and about an hour of leveling I found myself Queing for WSG with a twinkle in my eye. Read more… »

If you’ve not yet seen the patch notes for 3.1 when it comes to Druids my inital general overall feeling – “Umm..wait…did we just get a freaking sweet bump?” I’ve been paying scant attention to the endless discussions and guessing over this patch but it looks like we made out pretty good. There is a TON of new crap to take a look at. Mounts can swim, jousting is a thing now and Iron Forge will now be called “Iron Forge of City Bank” due to a sponsorship between the bank and Blizz. There will be ATMs all over Azeroth that you can get gold from instead of going to the bank. These ATMs can be operated in any land form (cat, travel, bear, Moonkin, Tree) and from land mounts but not flying mounts or flying forms. If you open a City Bank WoW Checking Account you get a free plush Murloc toy and a complimentary in-game beach towel sporting the City Bank logo. (just kidding) Here is just the Druid section of the 3.1 patch…. Read more… »

So I’m caving into practicality and making myself a bank alt. See, it all starts out innocently enough: One night it’s…”Gee, I think I’ll look into these addon thingys.” The next day…”Auctioneer is awesome!” and then “I need a bank alt.” A bank alt is simply a little toon you make up and park very close to an Auction House. Lvl 1 is fine. You don’t even need to do anything with him at all until you start making money. Once you start making money its apparently a rule that you pimp him out in all the finest useless garb (like a Black Tuxedo to start). Bank alts save you time and money. Banks alts are a good thing.
