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!

15 short years till he wants to borrow the car! Cheers!

As much as I loved writing Resto4Life and am enjoying playing again (even if in a very limited capacity), I don’t have the time to devote to blogging anymore. Instead, I’ve been learning2play from Keeva at TreeBarkJacket.com and Lissanna at Restokin.com. :-) I am excited that BRK is back, though!

Soooo, with BRK back in action, I’m wondering if Phae will get recruited too.

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.

I didn’t read the pages upon pages of comments so I don’t know if these issues have already been hit, but I can think of two things as a boomkin/tank druid that have helped immensely with my nostromo. First off, turn off the diagonals on the D-pad. Wow kindof accounts for these innately by combining vert/horizontal key presses. Having the nostromo keyed to do this is redundant and screws up movement. The second is key spam macro’s. I have my nostromo 6 buttom set to...

Sweet thanks for sharing! And i thought I was the only one disappointed in WoW’s art and character customization! Let’s hope Cataclysm has more in the works of real visual art like this instead of middle school quality graphic farts!
Direct Healing in Wrath (103)

Phaelia
@Otta: This article is out of date and no longer relevant. I understand Nourish is now the preferred choice over Regrowth, though you should keep a RG on your tank for its HoT component. As the methods for finding this information are explained, someone should be able to apply them along with the new values to create an updated comparison. I, however, am not that person. :-)

Otta
Ok, just found this post, and it’s long and interesting, quick dumb question tho, the numbers for nourish with hots, is that the healing both by the nourish alone or also the hots that are running? I used to use regrowth and now use nourish, debate is whether to switch back. I also am specced into tranquil spirit – am guessing thats weird comapred to this info!
