Shiny Red Apple
by Triggerman

With the assistance of readers in resolving my Firefox-specific CSS issues, the left side of the page became worthy of a truly special artistic contribution from Andrige. Andrige illustrated and colored the Tree of Life you see at left, and I absolutely love it! Andrige also recently completed a new illustration of an unhappy Bear faced with now forbidden fruit, the dreaded [Shiny Red Apple]. Personally, I’d like to see the Blizzard developers try to tell a real bear that he can’t have an apple!

I also have a host of blogs to share with you, some of which are old, some of which are new, none of which are borrowed, but a few of which are blue:

  • FauxPaws
    A ridiculously cutely named blog from a Hunter and a Druid (the two classes often considered as the most prolific in the blogosphere) hailing from Kael’thas.
  • Flyv’s Warcraft Blog
    Flyv of Garona (US) writes a well-rounded and enjoyable Feral blog, sharing theorycraft, gear discussion, and news!
  • Golden Leaves
    Akhila of Nathrezim (EU) plays an endgame Restoration Druid. And a Tauren! Her leaves are a lovely color of yellow ochre.
  • Lady Jess
    Lady Jessymn of Khaz’Goroth (US) writes what is quickly becoming one of the “best-dressed” Priest blogs out there with a smattering of posts related to her Night Elf Druid.
  • Malicious
    The Unlife of a Death Knight. A brand new blog for a brand new class, the Death Knight! Learn about your OP Warlock twink replacement before you can even create her!
  • Nekkid Cow
    Grizz of Feathermoon (US) gives new meaning to the phrase “keep your pants on.” /shudder
  • The Nyxes
    Breaking the rule that Restoration Druids must have long, white hair (I swear you can recognize our spec from the hairstyle choice), Nyxtaru of Garona (US) instead has Lifebloom-colored hair.
  • Shifting Out
    Onionpeels of Windrunner (US) plays a Feral-gone-Restoration Druid with raiding and PvP experience.
  • ThinkTank
    Kalon of Quel’Dorei (US) has a certain predilection for getting his face bashed in … while keeping healers and DPSers everywhere safe from harm.
  • Vendor Trash
    Megalis of Shandris (US) is a Bear tank learning the ropes in Serpentshrine Caverns.

And just as a reminder, the deadline for submitting your Tree of Life pictures for the Arbor Day Challenge is a little more than two weeks away. I’ve gotten some really stunning submissions already, but I’m still waiting for yours!

    thanks Phae! The druid in me may be taking over soon…working on her funding for swift flight now, made her my main, and have windhawk almost done! After that…5 levels to 70.

Hey, thanks for the nice plug for my blog!
Direct Heals in Wrath (21)

Kelerain
Do you have a source on the coefficients thing? I can’t find a good source after some digging. Reading the official talents, it appears empowered rejuvenation is the same style of bonus, but did not get doubled. I’m not sure I see the logic in it relating to spell power. 40% of healing vs 40% of spell power should be the same relative increase no matter the coefficient being multiplied by. 40% spell power before hand is the same as 40% after the coefficient. Same for the...

Kelerain
Regarding the coefficient, I think the glyph would be complete garbage at half the coefficient. I can see no role for it to play there. Assuming a full coefficient, It seems to get somewhat poor HPM, but not unreasonably poor (in the range of a current HT or one-off regrowth). Nourish is much better in this department. It does seem, however, to get good enough HPS to make this a reasonable ‘tradeoff’, getting HPS numbers in the chain-regrowth-with-glyph range. If you had...

Phaelia
@Kelerain: The 1.4 change was made because of spell power changes. It was necessary to increase its bonus from 1.2 to 1.4 so that the overall bonus was unchanged. However, since we’re working with +Healing rather than spell power, the 1.2 is actually still the relevant statistic. You aren’t the first person to ask about that, though, so maybe I should have explained it in the article itself. Thanks for following up!

Kelerain
You really got me interested in this one. I’ve been playing with the HT Glyph analysis, and I may have uncovered an error. From above (and your spreadsheet): “CoefficientHealing Touch = Base Coefficient * Gift of Nature * Empowered Touch * Master Shapeshifter = 1.0 * 1.1 * 1.2 * 1.04 = 1.3728″ Empowered touch is now a 40% increase, instead of a 20% increase, giving: 1.0 * 1.1 * 1.4 * 1.04 = 1.6016 This is substantially better, and may influence your analysis. Ht...

Phaelia
@Kelearin: I do see what you mean about the potential for HT. It’s still not clear, though, if its casting time reduction will function the same way that Naturalist does (i.e., it won’t get a smaller +Healing coefficient, despite a faster cast time). It seems like a 1.5 second spell with a 100% coefficient would just be insanely OP. The fact that healing is reduced by 50% makes me suspect that they also reduce the coefficient, but we won’t know until those Glyphs are...
Bear Form Armor and Downranking Woes (21)

Phaelia
@Nyxtaru: Sadly, I didn’t realize Rank 1 roots were so effective until just recently. Poo. @Tone: To be honest, the loss of green armor is a bit disappointing for me, too. With Improved Tree of Life giving an armor bonus, I was looking forward to finding some myself. Although I guess there wouldn’t really have been any with healy stats. ^_^ Definitely going to try to shy away from cloth, tho! Great point about being able to role-shift during combat. @Tildir: That would be...
<3 in the Battlegrounds (8)

Phaelia
@Nielari: Glad you enjoyed it as much as I do! @Zackoria: LOL @Tiagantar: GRAMMAR IS FOR THE WEAK (in Battlegrounds). @Kestrel: Ooo that would be some fun. :-D

Phaelia
@Adremma: Oh, I’m sorry about the confusion. >.< Thanks for the correction! @Kalfurion: That store looks a lot like the Anthropologie stores we have in the States. I probably couldn’t afford anything there, either! :-D @Eglador: Thanks. Corrected! :-) @Graylo: Oh, my mistake!! I’ve adjusted the description to be more clear.
Wrath Recap (21)

Phaelia
@Tone: I agree, and I really worry about the viability of a “Cat Druid.” Rogues really struggle to justify their raid spots these days due to the superiority of ranged damage. How can a Druid compete if, as they’ve indicated, they still do less damage than a Rogue even when specialized?
