Phaelia Blood Elf Druids … Who Knew?

zhevra_whitephae_belfI was super-duper lucky to nab an [Orb of Sin'dorei] from Magister’s Terrace this week, giving me the ability to turn into a pretty, ginger-haired Blood Elf Druid for 5 minutes out of every 30. (And thanks to afore-mentioned Ghost Pulse addon, I never miss the timer!) Unfortunately, this means I don’t use Tree of Life for that period of time, which deprives me of a certain someone’s beautiful shapeshift skins. On a related note, MMO Champion is reporting that several modified Zhevra mount skins have been added to the game on the PTR. Maybe it’s not very patriotic, but I’d love to trade in my [Reins of the Frostsaber] for one!

    Ive so wanted one of those orbs ever since MGT came out. It dropped in one my groups and one of our hunters got it (“BRB, dancing in shatt for 5 min”). Oh well. At least i have the little phoenix pet off Kael. That is the best vanity pet ever for a ToL druid (even beats the Woppletinger). Come on! A fiery little bird following a huge tree around, can’t get much better than that. ^_^

    And it’s ok Phae, ive been waiting to trade my Stormsaber in for one of the new mounts for awhile now. It’s a race to see whether another white cock will drop off Kael, those Zhevra mounts come out, or i finally get a chance at a bear mount (only 2 healers for a 4 timer ZA and the shaman still needs his shield off dragonhawk so im on the bench for now =/). I am personally waiting out for a bear since it would be so cool to pop right into bear form after i dismount. I still wear my Cenarion Expedition tabard to feel patriotic.

    oooh Zhevra mount skins…. I would so trade my tiger for one!!

    Psh, why you worried about patriotism? For every five minutes out of 30 you’re the enemy anyway :P

    During the holiday season, I had the chance to pretend I was the world’s first Gnomish Druid/Hunter Hybrid! …on the payroll of the Argent Dawn no less! (They’re not very picky about who they throw into the front lines! :-) )

    @Phae:

    This is mildly off topic, but I think ’tis better to put it here than in an old post:

    Would you be willing to do a small review of http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34471 as compared to other trinkets that you’ve done before? How useful is it really? I don’t see myself getting it any time soon, but if it’s worth aiming for, our fellow trees need to snag it.

    @Zackoria: You know I figured the Phoenix wouldn’t fit for a Tree of Life because of the fire, but you make an excellent point. I’d still rather see it on my husband’s Gnome Mage (even if he is Frost/Arcane). I am really curious how those Zhevra mounts will be obtained or if they’re even planned to be added to the game. Maybe it’s something for Wrath of the Lich King? I can’t really think of a Reputation that would make sense for them since they don’t appear in Outland and really only associated with the Barrens (I tried running my n00bie level 12 Hunter over there to try to tame one only to discover they were flagged “NO TAME”).

    @Bellwether: I’m sure I don’t know WHAT you’re talking about! ^_^ And is it sad that I’m looking forward to being able to change Phaelia’s hairstyle in WotLK because it means I’ll also be able to change my Blood Elf’s hairstyle by default? LOL

    @Tone: That’s … just .. weird. ^_^ Ho ho ho! I guess. =)

    @Mynd: I was actually fairly excited when that item dropped for me in MgT. I was happily clicking away for my free 2K heal every 2 minutes, when it was pointed out to me that the trinket is actually pretty lackluster. I mean, a Lifebloom heals for more than that and only takes 176 mana (in Tree form). On the bright side, it doesn’t use a GCD. I was using it paired with my NS + HT macro (usable every three minutes), but I’ve since banked it due to being underwhelmed overall.

    That trinket as Phae said is really lackluster for a ToL. Mana regen now is an overvalued stat for us and there are better regen trinkets. On the use affect, while the trinket can crit it does not benefit from +healing and compared to our other heals it really isn’t all that much. Also keep in mind that 2k is the max and that you have to charge it before use.
    It’s decent for a pally in PvP since they only have Holy Shock to begin with for an insta heal. Other than that it could be viewed as a decent regen trinket for beginer healers who need mp5 bad, but how you got it in the first place if your a healer just starting out desperate for regen when it drops off that anoying boss is beyond me (maybe a respec?). I am actually glad that it has only dropped once for me. I let the tankadin have it. Id rather have the tank and melee dps trinkets to tell you the truth.

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.

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...

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!
