I generally try to write these on Saturday or Sunday mornings, but I missed this weekend, so here you are!

Some great articles have been posted in the past week, despite the temptation to copy-and-paste class-specific patch notes. Here are a few of my favorites:
- I Want You to Hit Me as Hard as You Can by Runycat of Unbearably HoT
An extremely thorough and entertaining analysis of the value of hit-capping your Bear and Cat Form. The Fight Club-themed images alone make it worth a look, even to those who aren’t Feral! - l2pvp: The Trinket by Horns of Yet Another Warlock Nerf
An essential guide to the best use of your PvP trinket, both in Battlegrounds and Arenas. Recommended for anyone that PvPs, casually or otherwise. - Spellpower — What does it mean to you? by Saresa of Destructive Reach
A review of the change to +Healing and +Spell Damage we can expect in Wrath of the Lich King. - Wrath Mana Regen Calculations by Sylvanra of Moon Chicken
An examination of the mana regeneration that a Moonkin can expect to see from his new Moonkin aura as well as a Balance-application of the information presented in my Omen of Clarity article. With math! - 3 Ways to Get Your Arena Mingle On by Megan of Out of Mana
Looking to polish your PvE skills through a little PvP? Megan shows you how to meet like-minded (and similarly geared) individuals who might be interested in teaming with you! - Death Knight Tutorial by Lume the Mad
If you have no compunctions about spoilers and can’t get enough information about your future plate-wearing, disease-causing, gravelly-voiced DK, this tutorial will walk you through the entire 4-5 hour questline. Very thorough (I admit, however, that I only skimmed since I want to be surprised)!

Project Lore
You might also enjoy Project Lore, a site that includes video “walkthroughs” of various TBC dungeons such as Hellfire Ramparts and Heroic Slave Pens. The videos are well-edited and fun, and I especially enjoyed hearing the conversation that resulted from a wipe. In addition to their gameplay videos, they have a frequently updated blog and some as yet rudimentary class guides. Their site is advertisement heavy (2-3 large banners), but it’s worth checking out.
Blogroll Additions
This week I have four new Druid blogs to share with you! Welcome to the World Tree, you guys!
- For the Herd! For the Horde!
Bumwaller of Vashj (US) writes primarily about Druids but includes some topics related to his Hunter and Shaman alts. - Leveling a Hordie
Ithilien of Arathor (EU) has recently switched alliances and is rerolling her Night Elf Druid as a Tauren! /moo - Moon Chicken
Sylvanra of Smolderthorn (US) joins the rank of plucky (get it? cause she’s a chicken!) Balance bloggers with Moon Chicken, a blog that contains theorycraft, class news, and spec commentary. - Trizophenie’s Weblog
Trizophenie of Forscherliga (EU) plays a Feral Druid in an SSC/TK-level raiding guild.
“I Healed AV” by Rusco of Moonrunner (US)
This is a rewrite of “I Kissed a Girl (and I Liked it)” from Katy Perry and and tells the story of a Feral Druid who discovers a love for healing one day in Alterac Valley. It was written and submitted by Rusco, author of Dazed and Confused.
This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, deaths at hand
Lost my discretion
It’s not what, I’m used to
Just wanna try it out
I’m curious for it
Caught my attentionI healed AV and I liked it
The look of my resto hots tick
I healed AV just to try it
I hope my GM don’t mind it
It felt so good
It felt so right
I might even respec tonight
I healed AV and I liked it
I liked itNo, I don’t know what I’m doin’
It doesn’t matter
This is my experimental game
Just night elf nature
It’s not what, good droods do
Not how they should go raid
My head gets so confused
Hard to obeyI healed AV and I liked it
The look of my resto hots tick
I healed AV just to try it
I hope my GM don’t mind it
It felt so good
It felt so right
I might even respec tonight
I healed AV and I liked it
I liked itUs droods we are so magical
Dark skin, soft fur, so huggable
Hard to resist so versatile
Too good to deny it
Ain’t no big deal, it’s innocentI healed AV and I liked it
The look of my resto hots tick
I healed AV just to try it
I hope my GM don’t mind it
It felt so good
It felt so right
I might even respec tonight
I healed AV and I liked it
I liked it

Um that song is not from the little mermaid. You were thinking of Kiss the Girl.
That rewrite was based off of “I kissed a girl (and I liked it)” from Katy Perry.
Just a heads up.

@Sylvanra: Very welcome!
@Olc: O.o That makes a LOT more sense! Haha, sorry! /blush

If anyone is interested in covering it, go ahead. Just let me know! I don’t really have the voice for such a song, or really any song, so I haven’t given it a try.

[...] been wondering what’s going on in the Blogosphere regarding Druids, take a look at Phaelia’s community spotlight over on Resto4Life. She was even kind enough to add me, and there are some other great additions [...]

@Rusco: On the plus side, you introduced me to a really great new song. I feel so old, though, to have not heard it before now!
@Loronar: Me, too. Especially given what I originally thought it came from! But it was fun. Video is definitely NSFW if you are thinking of looking it up!
@Runycat:
@Eglador: Hahaha … well you only have to update once a month. That shouldn’t be TOO hard!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
lulz. I heard of the song and I’m like four times your age. =P
Though I didn’t pick up on it at first. I kept wondering where the “tra lalallalala la” was in the new version.
