Phaelia Community Watch or “Yet More Blogroll Additions”

So … many … blogs. Here are some more!

  • Kitty McPounceALot
    With what is possible one of the cutest blog names I’ve seen, KMP is written by Whimsy of Perenolde (US) who writes about DPSing, tanking, and her PvP experiences.
  • Letters from Birdfall
    Birdfall shares her daily experiences in Azeroth. Fun to read and, possibly best of all, she uses the WoW Model Viewer the same way that I do!
  • Lifebloomer
    Sioban of Magtheridon (US) writes about her experiences as a raiding Restoration Druid.
  • Lost in the Grind
    Lost in the Grind is written by a Feral Druid, Tabeyus of Sen’jin (US), although the author plays a variety of other games and shares his thoughts on many things MMO-related.
  • MoarHPThanJesus
    Named for a well-known quote wherein a forum poster complained that Cat Druids can turn into Bear Form when focus-fired. Includes an awesome online utility for calculating the value of various Feral items!
  • One Among Many
    And she does mean MANY! The author of OaM plays a host of characters, both Horde and Alliance, although she professes her main to be a 70 Tauren Hunter.
  • Tank Hard
    Written by a collection of authors who play tanks of various flavors (Protection Warriors, Feral Druids, and Protection Paladins), Tank Hard focuses on anything and everything related to keeping the nasties bashing their faces in.
  • Wiggi’s World of Druiding
    And Stuff. Written by Wiggishanks of Nazjatar (US), the “stuff” primarily refers to her experiences tanking various raid bosses in Karazhan and Tempest Keep.

Also, I’d like to take this opportunity to point out a few administrative changes to the site (I like bulleted lists):

  • New Web Host!
    If you’ve noticed any slowdowns in the site over the past few weeks, it’s because my old web host sold my account to another company who apparently couldn’t get their act together. To give you an idea of how bad the service was, Valenna and I were using the same web host. He received a “welcome” e-mail from the new provider. After hearing nothing from them for two weeks, I put in a support ticket asking where my welcome e-mail was since it contains all of our new account information. I was told that they were sending out these letters in batches and to be patient (er … I think account info is sort of IMPORTANT). That was almost a month ago.
  • Blogroll Changes
    I’ve separated the Druid blogs on my Blogroll into Balance, Feral, and Restoration subsections with a couple blogs overlapping more than one category. Hopefully this will help direct visitors interested in more information about a particular aspect of our class.
  • Shared Items
    I’ve also added the list of shared items I feature to the Nature’s Grasp section of the Guides page. These are articles from other blog authors I think everyone would benefit from reading. I felt they weren’t visible enough at the bottom of the page but didn’t think I had enough horizontal space in my sidebar to output them there. The guides listed there are likely to fluctuate from time to time, so be sure to check back occassionally (maybe I can find a way to easily highlight the most recently added).
  • Ideas and Things
    I’ve created a new category entitled “Dreamstate” that includes all the posts of mine that, while not necessarily intended to be informative, are ideas that I have for the class. Some of these articles are among my favorites, and I didn’t want to see them “lost” 30 pages down into my blog. You can find these listed under the Dreamstate section of the Guides page.

Finally, I’d like to give a great big THANK YOU OMG YOU ROCK SO MUCH THANK YOU THANK YOU to Valenna for the bestest Christmas gift ever: A World of Warcraft Druid shirt from J!NX Clothing:

Yes, that's my cubicle wall behind me. Yes, I wore it to work today.

Want one for yourself? Ladies | Gentlemen

    Where or how do you find all these other blogs? There are some great finds there but I’ve been looking for a decent mage blog but been unable to find one. Is it that magi are terrible writers or just somehow under represented in the world of blogcraft?

  • Gravatar Phaelia

    @Lapyx: Actually I find most of the blogs I feature by looking at where my incoming links come from. Whenever I see a new blog linking to Resto4Life, I’ll go check it out. Assuming it has more than a couple of posts, has been updated within the last month, and isn’t covered in ads, I’ll usually feature it!

The Sprout(ed) Seed (87)

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

Phaelia
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!

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

CONGRATS on such a cute little one! <3 Jezi .-= Jezi´s last blog ..VIGIL =-.
The Belkin Nostromo N52 TE (73)

Marc
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.

Costo
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...
Andrige’s Shapeshift Skins (72)

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!
