Phaelia Eyonix: MotW Possibly Updated for WotLK

Published on December 14, 2007 by Phaelia

In response to a question regarding Mark of the Wild posed on a thread about Power Word: Fortitude, Community Manager Eyonix indicated that it’s possible that the Druid class buff may be re-evaluated in the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion:

We recognize the concerns expressed in regards to Mark of the Wild and it may very well see improvement for Wrath of the Lich King. I do strongly disagree that it’s anywhere as useless as you claim, however.

Also keep in mind, because it affects all stats, some class/specs benefit from it more than others.

    Sheez, way to steal our buff thread!

    =P

    Seriously, MotW and AI need reviews. On that note, so do a few other buffs. I hope they all work out better with the BC->WotLK conversion than they did in the Vanilla->BC one.

    I completely agree. And since I don’t think it makes sense to have another all-around percentage-based buff like Blessing of Kings (but would still like to see Mark scale), they should probably just revisit the buff entirely. Maybe give different versions that enhance 2-3 stats by a certain percentage based on your spec…

    Right now there are no informations if they still going to change MotW in WotLK, or?

    I dislike the static component of it and with the item progression in WotLK it will get more and more useless. Its the only buff in its category (Stat Add Buff) maybe for a reason :/

    I like your idea of spec specific versions of MotW which enhance a smaller number of stats by a certain percentage, but sadly it think this does not go along with Blizzards new concept of Buffs/Debuffs and Raid Stacking….

    @Tri: Right now, it appears that level 80 Mark of the Wild will provide 37 to all stats (up from 14 at level 70). In addition, Improved Mark of the Wild will only cost 2 Tier 1 talent points to acquire and improves the spell by 40% (up from the current 5-point investment required for a 35% improvement). This means that a talented MotW will provide 52 to all stats. It does appear that the resistances will still not stack with other auras, but all-in-all, these are some considerable improvements!

The Sprout(ed) Seed (80)

David
Congratulations! Cute baby!

I’m so late that little Colin ain’t swimming on his mini-shirt anymore by now. And Mr. Phae and the classic “drooling daddy” face, priceless. Grats Phae and family!

First I want to say congratulations on your new baby boy, albeit a little late. As a Druid myself, formerly Resto even, I found this to be pretty awesome. I had my first child in October, also a boy. He just happens to have the exact same onesie that you’re little boy is wearing in the video. It’s my favorite outfit of his because I am my son’s superhero! As a side note, I hope you’re enjoying your new seed. They grow like weeds though and you start wondering...

I certainly never looked that good when I sprouted my seedlings. Thanks for all the great advice on this site. Things have changed a lot over the years and 60 was the highest you could go when I last played before this year. I got back into the game again about 6 months ago after taking a 4 year break when I was pregnant with my daughter.

@Terrorpaw: This information is vastly outdated. Notice that the article indicates patch 3.0.8 while the current version is 3.3. The amount of haste needed for resto druids to reach 1 second GCD has been shuffled considerably. I’ve been poking around on this site and I find it likely that much of the information here might be outdated.

Terrorpaw
Not to distract from your information, but this is confuddling to me. Everyone on the druid forums just touts that with CF and GOTEM you should see 735 haste on your character sheet? Are they just dead wrong?

Ck
This is actually really useful – thanks for this! Is it still current and user friendly? I somehow managed to get up to 740 Haste without trying, and even with scrapping all haste enchants and gems – I am still languishing on 723 :(

Over a year and a half later this post is still worth it’s weight in gold! Hope you and your family are all well Phae. :) *hugs* .-= Softi´s last blog ..Dum di dum di dum =-.

I’ve been using this addon since I started playing some over a year now. I can’t imagine wow without it since. To swap bags you can right click the one you wish to free up and select ‘filter’. Then drag all the stuff into another bag. Also you could just swap a bag from inventory to your bank still full of stuff.
