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 Epic Dolls Episode 43: Druid Discussion

I was honored to be invited onto the Epic Dolls podcast for some Druid-based discussion this weekend. Having never been on a podcast before, I was a little nervous at first, but I had a wonderful, wonderful time and am so happy they asked me! The whole show is 84 minutes long, and you can download it from the Epic Dolls web site. Thanks, Leala and Rae!

    Nice job, noob.

    =D

    Actually, the clarity of the podcast was pretty good; I could hear you well without having to crank up the volume. It was a little difficult to distinguish who was talking at times, but still, I enjoyed.

    I really liked it!

    The parts on feral druids were a bit sketchy, but that’s to be expected with die hard trees and owls on the show :)

    And I think the show would have to be twice as long to even begin to cover all the aspects of the druid, there’s just so much to our class. We’re not Rogues, it’s not all “We stand there and hit stuff!” ;)

    @Runycat: Any of my n00bishness can be traced directly back to the AIM conversation where I asked you about Bears and Kittehs!

    @Kuhbi: I’m very glad you enjoyed it! And I hope I didn’t seem too clueless when it came to talking about Feral. =) I was glad that Rae has experience as a Laser Chicken, at least!

    I’m very interested about the add on Grids that you mention in the show. Is that an upcoming article, or one you have done in the past?

    @Copey: That’s actually something I wrote last week. You can check it out here!

    Hi Phae,
    I, too, thought you did a great job. Was my first time listening to Epic Dolls and I think they will become a regular thing for me. You did not seems at all clueless and it was clear there was preparation beforehand, always a nice thing to propel an interview along :-) . Two claws up!

    I’ll have to listen to Epic Dolls again, I started losing track of them. My GM and I were guests on one of the earliest podcasts, about our all-girl guild Daughters of the Horde, and it’s quite nerve-wracking to suddenly be ‘on air’, isn’t it? :)

    Kadomis last blog post..This past weekend, part I

    @Eustashius: Thank you! And, yes, I did prepare ahead of time. They were kind enough to give me a list of the questions that would be asked and I spent Friday making an outline so I wouldn’t forget to mention anything important (also, so that I could ask Runycat of Unbearably HoT about Feral stuff).

    @Kadomi: It was quite nerve-wracking! I had some technical issues with my mic and felt terrible that I was holding them up while I swapped hardware. Do you remember which episode you were on? I’d love to give it a listen!

    Kadomi! You must come back and talk about warriors with us! =)

    It was wwaaaayyy back in the day. Like episode 4 so its nearly a year old at this point. hehe

    Woot woot Phae! Awesome podcast!

    I loved the ‘hug a tree for good luck’ part. That was my favorite part. Ive never heard that one before. But we all know why its good luck though. You hug us and we give you extra heals! ^_^

    You talked about going balance because it was closer to the healer mind set then feral. I actually prefer melee when im dps and yet i love healing strangely enough. I actually have gotten yelled at before for staying too close to the tank on ocassion. >.>

    Im actually always in the tank group since my resto counter part in raids focuses more on haste than i do for more regrowths and swiftmends, whereas i have more spirit than he does.

    and ninnervate = air conditioning? hehe ^_^

    Oh and lets not forget “trees! i can summon trees!” i laughed out loud when Rae said that.

    @Zackoria: Hahaha, that was my thought exactly. /hug me for heals. =) That’s cool that you prefer Feral for your DPS spec to Balance. In Wrath, you will be able to switch between a tank and a healer if they implement that spec swap! Of course, you’ll probably have to collect two different sets of gear to do both (unlike Balance/Resto who will have a fair amount of overlap).

The Sprout(ed) Seed (87)

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.

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)

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!
