Featured: Home is Where the Hearth Is

From gear to Reputation grinds to non-combat pet collections, Blizzard seems keen to make players feel like they’re making progress. Unlike many competitors, however, they have yet to add the most significant, non-combat progression path: player housing.

Phaelia Druid in a Bottle

MMO-Champion.com and World of Raids have posted images of the new Violet Eye recipes that will be available in patch 2.2. Among the additions is a new Flask recipe:

Flask of Chromatic Wonder
Requires Level 65
Use: Increases resistance to all schools of magic by 35 and all stats by 18 for 2 hrs. Counts as both a Battle and Guardian elixir.  This effect persists through death.

Compare this with the Druid class buff, Gift of the Wild:

Gift of the WildRank 3
1515 Mana40 yd range
Instant cast
Reagents: Wild Quillvine
Gives the Gift of the Wild to the target’s party, increasing armor by 340, all attributes by 14 and all resistances by 25 for 1 hour.

Apparently Blizzard missed the article about how underpowered our class buff is relative to those of other buff-casters and decided to create a Flask that’s essentially a Druid-in-a-bottle, almost perfectly mimicking the stat bonuses afforded by our Gift of the Wild (10 more of each resistance, 4 fewer to each stat, and no armor). Something tells me, however, that the Flask’s resistances will stack with Paladin, Hunter, and Priest resist buffs. Then again, maybe they’re planning to change Mark but wanted to ensure that the buff (as horrible as it is) is still available to players in some form.

    New flask has 10 more resistances :P
    besides, armor is all that matters.

Hey, Stormwalker! Great to hear from you! Our little sprout is growing fast, but don’t call him “little” when he’s around or he’s sure to tell you “I a little bit big!” :-)

Stormwalker
I…I…kinda miss you and your Druidic writings of old. Good to see you’re still around, busy with RL. The little sproutling looks a little bigger now! Regards, Stormwalker, of old.

Over two years later and this is still relevant and so very helpful. I hope you are having a blast with your little sprout, who’s probably running all over the place now. =D

Hi, Too bad this blog is no longer maimtained. Thanks for you post though. I wanted to address the issue of lefties. I am on, and use the N52TE. I use a trackball with my right hand and the n52TE with my left, no problems.
