Phaelia Community Spotlight

Breen of Steamwheedle Cartel (EU) has created and made available a very nice set of animated Druid avatars with versions of both the default Tree of Life skin as well as a pretty-in-purple variation. These were actually submitted a while ago, but I’ve been saving them for a Community Spotlight. Thanks, Breen!

It’s also time for a brand new crop (HAHA) of Restoration Druid blogs along with a few great selections from the “lesser” classes we sometimes deign to heal:

  • Bringin’ the Wood
    Jivethelle of Kul’Tiras (US) is a Restoration Druid into endgame-raiding. He’s also male and a Night Elf, which is perhaps even more impressive.
  • Chick GM
    Auzara of Medivh (US) blogs about the joys and struggles of guild leadership within World of Warcraft, writing from the perspective of someone leading their guild through endgame content.
  • Daily Druid
    Jadeyhorn of Scarlet Crusade (US) chose the right class (Druid), the right spec (Restoration), and even the right server (Scarlet Crusade). Unfortunately, she opted to play Horde so now we can’t stay up late together, giggling over Spirit-gear, and pruning each other’s branches.
  • Daraxxus the Warrior
    Another Scarlet Crusade (US) player, Daraxxus plays on the Alliance side. Given the fact his Warrior is a Dwarf, however, I don’t think we’ll be painting each other’s toenails. (Can you even find Dwarf toenails under all that hair?)
  • "31 Talent Points in Balance" by Claire Hummel
    31 Talent Points in Balance
    by Claire Hummel

    Destructive Reach
    Saresa of Cenarius (US) plays both a Warlock and a Druid (a popular combination, it seems). She shares some of both along with the rare real life (TM) tidbit.

  • Heals Don’t Grow on Trees
    Of course, we all know that isn’t true! A young but aspiring blog writer, Siarah plays and writes about her Restoration Druid.
  • Lume the Mad
    Intelligent discussion of raiding, guild leadership, and Druiding from Lilume of Proudmoore (US).
  • Magickly Moo
    Moo is a Restoration Druid. One can only assume he plays a Tauren. If not, his mother had a really cruel sense of humor. Then again, I suppose that’s even more true if he is a Tauren!
  • One HoT Rogue
    Don’t be mislead by the stealthing, stunlocking, cheesemonkey mentioned in the title. Aedos of Aggramar (EU) writes a wonderful blog about Druiding in an endgame raiding guild and a little bit about her Rogue alt.

Also of note, Gararf has recently updated the Spirit Guide addon with a graphing function. Be sure to check it out.

    Those avatars are amazing. I feel tempted to use the dancing moonkin avatar since im balance right now to farm shadow resist mats for Mother Shaz.

    So hard to decide though between my old flight form avatar and that awesome tree one.

    Phaelia, those are not my reskins on the ToL, so you might want to exclude that part. There’s a similar coloured skin available already in WoW (but as always I made it a bit more personal by adding details and such)

    Nice avatars though!

    I promise I’m female, but my toon is a male. :)

    Thanks for the welcome Phaelia! The blog name is confusing I admit, because I wanted to sum up both my “mains” but this was all I could think of :P

    @Zackoria: I’m glad you like them!

    @Andrige: Thanks for the correction. They were so small I couldn’t tell (plus, it didn’t occur to me that someone else might have swapped in the purple ancient).

    @Jive: Interesting! I personally think male Night Elves look awesome, but I know I’m in the minority.

    @Aedos: It’s a cute name. =) I just sometimes run out of things to say when doing a big batch of blogs to highlight. ^_^ (Shhh! Don’t tell!)

The Sprout(ed) Seed (87)

tkc
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.

CONGRATS on such a cute little one! <3 Jezi .-= Jezi´s last blog ..VIGIL =-.
The Belkin Nostromo N52 TE (73)

Marc
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.

Costo
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...
Andrige’s Shapeshift Skins (72)

Asher
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!
