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 Midsummer … WHAT?!

And what is that pole made out of?! There’s been a lot of hullabaloo in the blogosphere about the Midsummer Fire Festival lately. I’ve been appalled at the participation of several Restoration Druid bloggers, including a brutally graphic video by Leafshine and a detailed guide of the most efficient path to visit the bonfires by Pookies (one would hope with the intention of dousing them). Lossemenel from Elune’s Guidance writes about witnessing frenzied hooligans frolicking around roaring bonfires and dancing around poles that I think not coincidentally happen to be made of wood. Doodle from HoTs & DoTs even shares a horrific story of deliberate self-conflagration.

Oh my Elune!  It is contagious?! Apparently, it’s incumbent upon me to point out that it’s a FIRE festival. We are TREES. This festival is clearly classist/specist. Just say NO to Fire Blossoms! BAH, HUMBUG!

P.S. Speaking of fire-related things, Kael’thas Sunstrider can DIAF for not dropping my [Phoenix Hatchling].

    I assure you that I was 1) revering the alliance fires for their capacity to burn my sorry tree ass, and 2) desecrating the horde fires before they got a chance to set me on fire!!!! <3

    I’ve got the same Phoenix Hatchling problem over here. Must be some kind of druid related bug. As well as there is never ever a baby crocodilisk in the Bag of Fishing Treasures. Neither the Sinister Squashling showed up for me nor Mojo wanted to kiss me. It seems to be a curse even the mightiest druid isn’t able to dispell.

    -insert big sigh here-

    I figured you trees were just really into the whole pleasure/pain concept…

    ROFL. Yes, Midsummer isn’t exactly nice to trees indeed.

    Oh, and you totally owe me a keyboard for this. It didn’t take well to coffee.

    Shame on all Druids who participate in this atrocious holiday! Make love, not fire!

    @Lady Jess: YOu should be ASHAMED of yourself! How does that dress look on you when you’re in TREE form? Hmmm???

    @Pookies: Hahaha. Well. I guess that’s okay.

    @Nebelmond: Awww! I don’t know if it’s necessarily a class-wide curse. I got my Toothy’s Bucket from the Fishing Daily a few weeks ago. /ducks

    @Softi: I’ve heard some trees beat themselves with their own switches. :-(

    @Gwaendar: Haha, I’m glad to hear it!

    @Josh: MAKE LOVE NOT FIRE! should totally be on a Tree-Shirt. What do you think?

    Does everyone’s feet as well as hands look on fire when you’re wearing the 3 pieces? I gathered them all on my current main, a tauren, and only the hands look on fire. But on the internet and the few times I’ve seen others in game it looks like they are dancing in fire. But I haven’t seen another tauren yet.

    Is this yet another fun thing taurens don’t get? If i had known that I would have spent the flowers on the pet. Not enough days are left to get enough flowers for anything else.

    @Yunk: If you get the sandals, it looks like your feet/roots are on fire (you have to click them). Clicking on the vestments make you dance and your hands catch on fire. The shoulders don’t have any visible effect in Tree of Life. It does look like the vestments/sandals work in Bear Form, too, though. “Only YOU can prevent forest fires,” says the Feral Druid.

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.
