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 "Never Die" by Nilianil

Double Chocolate Alliance Cake by Relic
Cake from the Post-Battleground Alliance Pity Party

Reader Nilianil of Silver Hand (US) recently posted a hilarious parody of the song from the end credits of Portal. For those of you living under a rock (or just raiding 24-7), you can listen to the original via YouTube: Still Alive by GLaD0S

This was a letdown.
I’m making a note here:
HUGE FAILURE.
It’s hard to overstate
My disappointment.
PvP Warriors.
We Mortal Strike you because we can.
For the good of all of us,
Except the ones who aren’t friends.
But there’s just one cunning class I simply can’t beat.
You just keep on running it’s almost like you cheat.
And the 2v2 gets done,
And I realize there’s a ton
Of these druids who just
Never die.

I’m not even angry.
I’m being so sincere right now.
Even through you broke my snare
And bashed me.
And danced around pillars,
And threw all your HoTs, onto, yourself.
As they ticked it hurt because
I simply could not kill you.
Now these PTR notes give some peace to my mind,
And we’re out of 2.3 they’re patching on time.
Though we had to get burned,
Think of all the things Blizz learned
‘Bout the druids who just
Never die.

Go ahead and root me.
I wish that Arena was inside.
Maybe I’ll find someone that can free me.
Maybe the Pallies.
That was a joke, HA HA, CYCLONE.
Anyway their tears are great;
They’re so delicious and moist.
Look at me still typing when there’s Arena to do.
When I check the ratings I get sad I’m not you.
I’ve some matches to be run,
There is screaming to be done
At the Druids who just
Never die.

And believe me they’ll just never die.
They’re always drinking so they’ll never die.
They’re pillar humping and they’ll never die.
With their Lifebloom they’ll just never die.
And when you’re Cycloned they’ll just never die.
Never die.
Never die.

    Hahaha. The beginning was a little awkward, but I could hear the song in my head a lot more clearly by the end. I need a little more humor at work.

    ^^ I know the people who made that cake.

    Yay song!

    I must live under a rock (I don’t raid) as I have seriously never heard of ‘Portal’. After doing a google search, I assume you are talking about the video game of the same name??? Or is it one of movies with the same name???

    FWIW, I think I just might go hurt myself after listening to the song. Ouch is that voice annoying!

    I do like parody lyrics.

    Bah, forget to fill out one field and my post is erased – oh well :p

    As I said before, Phae, I’m honored that you’d post something from me here on Resto4Life – I hope everyone gets at least a chuckle out of it, because that and boredom was the only reason it was made :) Also, I’ve never seen that cake before – that’s great, hehe.

    @Runycat – I agree, the intro needs tuning. There’s a lot of parts that need some tweaking, some due to syllables, some due to just not sounding right.

    @NotAnIssue – Yes, the lyrics are a parody of the song played in the credits from the video game Portal, released with the Orange Box.

    Apparently I need to post pictures of delectable confections more often. My blog … it looks so delicious now.

    So very delicious. So very moist.

    @NotAnIssue

    If you like puzzles, black humor, clever dialogue, slick presentation, a relatively quick play-through and surprises, I highly recommend taking a look at Portal. Yes, she is talking about the video game put out by Valve. Play it. Srsly.

    OMFG SO FREAKING FUNNY!

    Had to give away a mischievous chuckle, nice lyrics (and ofc I had to loop the song for quite a while after I heard it the first time, so much win)

    P.S Yes I’ve played the game. Roxx.

    –Through The Trolling and Flames–

    On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light,
    In flames of death’s eternal reign, we ride towards the fight.
    When the darkness has fallen down, and the times are tough all right.
    The sound of evil laughter falls around the forums tonight.

    Fighting hard, fighting on for the nerfs, through the forums evermore,
    The scattered souls will feel the hell, threads wasted on the shore.
    On the blackest plains in Blizzard’s domain, we watch them as they go,
    Through fire and pain, and once again we know…

    That they are crying for our nerf, we’re free to fight the druid nerf,
    On against the QQers, our quest carries on.
    Far beyond the Barkskin, far beyond the moonfire,
    Deep inside our hearts and all our souls…

    So far away we wait for the day,
    For the peace and harmony of all;
    We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days-
    Through the trolling and the flames we carry on!

    [Small interlude]

    As the patch day is dawning, and the lightning cracks the sky,
    They’ll raise their hands to the heavens above with resentment in their eyes.
    Running back through the late patch notes, there’s a burning in their hearts;
    That the nerf was reversed and their shrilling cries were naught but whining now.

    In your darkest dreams see to believe, our destiny is nigh,
    And endlessly we’ll all be free tonight…!

    And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality;
    All alone in desperation, that they might move on.
    Lost inside you’ll never find, lost within their own minds,
    Day after day this misery must go on!

    So far away we wait for the day,
    For the peace and harmony of all.
    We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days,
    Through the trolling and the flames we carry on!

    [Big interlude]

    Now here we stand with their angst on our hands,
    We fight so hard now can you understand
    Ill break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
    For freedom of every druid!

    So far away we wait for the day,
    For the peace and harmony of all.
    We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days,
    Through the trolling and the flames we carry on!

    Sorry it took so long to post this, but i had somehow lost it on my flash drive and i eventually had to say screw it and rewrote it again.

    Back in 2.3 shortly after they reversed the lifebloom nerf for restos i thought that this song from Dragonforce explains nerfing a class very well, more importently druids! “We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days,
    Through the fire and the flames we carry on!”

    @Zackoria: That was really cool. Thanks for sharing! I think Druids are pretty much the recipients of all the vitriol formerly being thrown at Warlocks, and all because of a single (okay, maybe two) bracket in one small part of the game. (Admittedly, PvP is a lot more … personal than PvE, so I can understand the hate, but I still don’t like it.)

The Sprout(ed) Seed (80)

David
Congratulations! Cute baby!

Tsuki
I’m so late that little Colin ain’t swimming on his mini-shirt anymore by now. And Mr. Phae and the classic “drooling daddy” face, priceless. Grats Phae and family!

Rayvis
First I want to say congratulations on your new baby boy, albeit a little late. As a Druid myself, formerly Resto even, I found this to be pretty awesome. I had my first child in October, also a boy. He just happens to have the exact same onesie that you’re little boy is wearing in the video. It’s my favorite outfit of his because I am my son’s superhero! As a side note, I hope you’re enjoying your new seed. They grow like weeds though and you start wondering...

Snowmaidn
I certainly never looked that good when I sprouted my seedlings. Thanks for all the great advice on this site. Things have changed a lot over the years and 60 was the highest you could go when I last played before this year. I got back into the game again about 6 months ago after taking a 4 year break when I was pregnant with my daughter.

@Terrorpaw: This information is vastly outdated. Notice that the article indicates patch 3.0.8 while the current version is 3.3. The amount of haste needed for resto druids to reach 1 second GCD has been shuffled considerably. I’ve been poking around on this site and I find it likely that much of the information here might be outdated.

Terrorpaw
Not to distract from your information, but this is confuddling to me. Everyone on the druid forums just touts that with CF and GOTEM you should see 735 haste on your character sheet? Are they just dead wrong?

Ck
This is actually really useful – thanks for this! Is it still current and user friendly? I somehow managed to get up to 740 Haste without trying, and even with scrapping all haste enchants and gems – I am still languishing on 723 :(

Over a year and a half later this post is still worth it’s weight in gold! Hope you and your family are all well Phae. :) *hugs* .-= Softi´s last blog ..Dum di dum di dum =-.

I’ve been using this addon since I started playing some over a year now. I can’t imagine wow without it since. To swap bags you can right click the one you wish to free up and select ‘filter’. Then drag all the stuff into another bag. Also you could just swap a bag from inventory to your bank still full of stuff.
