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 (87)

15 short years till he wants to borrow the car! Cheers!

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!
