Featured: WotLK Restoration FAQ

Wrath of the Lich King made a number of fundamental changes to the game, many of which went through so many iterations that it can be difficult to get the facts. You can find a summary of these changes as related to the Restoration Druid in this extensive FAQ!

Phaelia Resto4Life, Feral4…Death?

Published on February 13, 2008 by Phaelia

I’m very excited to announce the addition of a new author here at Resto4Life! My guildmate and good friend, Currant — who you may know as the author of Druid Tank — has agreed to transfer his posting efforts here to Resto4Life. I invited him to do so for a couple of reasons:

  • An additional Feral perspective should help round out the content here. I’m lucky to have a diverse set of readers, some of which aren’t necessarily Restoration-specced!
  • While he’s a fantastic writer, he doesn’t have much experience in design or the technicalities associated with building a blog. By giving him a platform that’s already established, he can worry less about the details (that I greatly enjoy) and focus more on writing the great Feral articles he’s known for.

Naturally, the site will remain mostly Restoration focused, but I hope that you will all make Curry Bearbottoms feel even more warm and fuzzy than his excess body fat and thick coat of fur already make him.

    Excellent! I’m subscribed to that site already, so I’ll look forward to the articles showing up in your feed!

    What Rethic said! I look forward to hearing more from the feral side of life :)

    And it appears I replied in the wrong spot – oh well, hehe.

    Welcome, Currant. Couldn’t have come at a better time (am levelling up a druid as feral, and am always after advice, etc, lol)

    Thanks for the welcomes! I should have a ‘hello’ post up soon. No meaty content yet, but something to let everyone know who I am and what sort of shenanigans to expect.

    Welcome Currant, I’ve enjoyed a lot of the posts you made at your other blog and it’s what’s got me interested in the idea of choosing bear if I ever decide to give tanking a try =D

    Welcome Currant

    and some readers of this site may not even have a druid above lvl 30 :)

    Very cool. Maybe you could take it one step further and find an experienced Moonkin author. I visit your site daily and I’d love to see some laser chicken content in addition to the resto/feral posts.

    Mouhahaha…
    Welcome here… and i hope you’re prepared for taking the lead of the revolution.

    Ferals are insanely and viciously coming to master this blog in a few months!

    You’ll see… we’re going to monopolise this place!!

    One day ferals will rule the world and… hum! Sorry.

    @Simoncowell: I don’t expect to be adding any more authors to the site right now. I invited Currant because he’s a RL friend, plays a Druid, has great insight, nd writes exceptionally well. That and he offered me pizza. Unless Valenna rolls a Boomkin, I think we’re set for now. :-D

    @Hikilune: Make no mistake! I will take you OUT. ^_^

    Gonna have to change the site to Druid4life =P

    Welcome Currant…bearbottoms… ill just call you Currant. :)

The Sprout(ed) Seed (87)

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)

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...
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!
