It never hurts to have the element of surprise, even if you're healing. No one expects the druid intervention!

The patch notes came out last Friday while I was in ZA with my guild. After announcing their release over Ventrilo (just before a boss attempt), I was chastized for reading the notes instead of buffing. I said, quite offendedly "I'm not READING them. I'm posting them to my blog!" @Awrakso: Well hello there! Thank you for commenting. It's always nice to see new faces! ANd if I were a Moonkin, I'd be quite offended at the implication that the mob thinks my Feral forms to be more effective! @Abo: Oh wow ... that sounds great! I wonder how that would work with a Feral Charging Tree ... And thank you for the compliment! @HolyWarrior: Funny story. The patch notes came out last Friday while I was in ZA with my guild.

So you get knocked back by a mob while DPS'ing... Quick shift into bear, feral charge, quick switch to kitty while in mid charge. You'll see your kitty form skid across the ground like ice and you can resume DPS. :) I also have my forms hotkeyed: CTRL + ~ = Flight Form CTRL + 1 = Bear Form CTRL + 2 = Kitty Form CTRL + 3 = Travel Form CTRL + 4 = Swim Form For me shape shifting is very situational. So I choose not to use the macro's for shape shifting. Being a feral druid 90% of the time I need to have quick access to all my forms. I would argue ALL druid specs need to be switching in and out of forms as the situation changes. Great blog BTW. My favorite Druid blog to date! :) Don’t forget Kitty Charge!

To show that im not a blog ninja I have decided to post a comment. Blackheart the Inciter shapeshifts my moonkin to cat or bear. Waste of my mana. I have always been an avid reader of your blog.

And Rawr Bearing amuses me to no end. I really wish I'd tried it before speccing out of my PvP spec. @Jad: I didn't know you could Prowl while falling. Interesting ... @Simoncowell: That sounds like a blast. I'm usually too chicken to do anything alone in PvP. Which is one of the reasons I steer clear of EotS. People love to leave a healer alone at a tower to defend while they go running off after the flag. @Kaera: Hey, thanks! I particuarly like the last multi-function kitty cat macro. @Sioban: I would like to be your blacksmith. And I meant to try /formspecial last night but logged off immediately after our raid. DRAT! @Caymus: Thanks for the revised macro. I had no idea you could combine stances with a colon and slashes like that. Learn something new every day! @Maerdred: Don't let me stop you! Two people <em>can</em> come up with the same original independent from one another. I'm sure your avatar will be better executed anyway. =D @Sorayn: If a Tree falls in Shattrath, does it take enough damage to die? @Rakel: That’s a really great idea to combine Flight Form + Cat Form!

How did you crawl into my head and take the idea I had for an avatar and use it in your blog already? You even have the tree in the exact pose I wanted to use. now it'll look like I'm stealing your idea. ::mutters:: darn Phae, making me think.. stupid art...

Click it again and it un-shifts you. :) (Works for druids with ToL - Remember to change "flight form" to "Epic flight form" if applicable) An even better travel form macro:

#showtooltip
/cast [swimming,noform:2]Aquatic Form;[flyable,nocombat,noform:2/6]Flight Form;[noform:6/4/2]Travel Form;
/cancelform

Click it once to shift to the appropriate form… Click it again and it un-shifts you. :)
