@Abagoo: I thought you were going Resto in the expansion anyway. ^_^

@Cisko: Oh, I really like the PvP-oriented Hurricane achievement. I should try that, even as a Resto it would be pretty fun! The hybrid challenges also sound pretty fun!

@Justyna: Wow. ^_^ I know Boomkin do great damage … but they need a certain gear level to do so. Outdamaging a Mage could be the “milestone” that represents they’ve reached that point.

@Halfathaia: Thanks for reading and for commenting!! It’s always great to hear from new people! And O.o at your VanDamme suggestion. That sounds quite difficult! Beating a 2v2 against two 1800+ rated Rogues was definitely the highlight of my very short-lived Arena career. ;-D I’m guessing you must Arena a fair bit yourself since so many of your suggestions are PvP-oriented?

@Ilaniel: Yeah, I’m loving the ones that readers have submitted! Very creative.

@Honora: After I returned to the game from a 3-month break, I had a real issue with accidentally Innervating my husband’s Warrior. I finally had to make a macro that ONLY Innervated myself unless I was holding down CTRL, so I’m quite familiar with @#$%!!!

@Karla: You definitely should. Things like, “Restore 4000 mana to a Resto Druid over the course of a fight … ”

@Gidget: You know in EverQuest 1, when someone would take enough damage, they would fall unconscious and their lifebar would turn purple. Clerics used to threaten to let Warriors join the “purple club.” ;-D

@Vargoth: Hahaha … good point! I’m working on that “achievement” myself!

@Padwar: Oh hell yes. I totally need a jump count!

@Meugly: Ouch … I imagine you’re looking forward to the upcoming “alternate talent spec”!

They also have a statistics page with achievements like number of times you have jumped and number of times summoned by a warlock. I’d like to see some druid-specific counters for number of times you shapeshift into each different form: bear, cat, tree, moonkin, travel, aquatic, flight.

Why is “LOLWUT?” a ‘Failure’?
If anything it should be a super-achievement..

I’m totally death’s angel.
I have a pally friend that i run around with who tanks for me all the time. There’s a game i play when I’m bored healing. It’s called “Let’s see how far down in HP we can get the tank!” ^.-

He has the running record with 29/20k(ish)hp.

I think he /may/ have started drinking to tank for me. <3

Oh these are all totally awesome. I have a druid (normally specced feral, but I’ve been known to go resto and attempt to heal some bgs) so I’d have to try them myself.

I should try and come up with a list for shadow priests.

One of our druids would get the “@#$%!!!” Achievement – he innervated a rogue during a BWL fight back in the day. It’s a long-running joke in our guild. I have to show him this and tell him it’s real.

@Cisko: I too have made the Dancing Roots achievement on Nethermancer Sepethrea on heroic. That fight still makes me sweat!

These achievements are great!

Hi Phae, I’m a new poster to your page but I love your posts – I check them every day, keep it up! My main is a holy paladin but I rolled a druid for the awesome utility of the class… and to tank. After season 3 however, I saw the light (or maybe just the green glow of my hands) and decided to do resto PvP.

My contributions to your list:

VanDamme – Be placed into combat with two rogues in a rated 2v2 arena match and exit combat with 90% total health or greater. (Must be kindney shot a minimum of twice)

Barkwin? – Win a rated 2v2, 3v3, or 5v5 arena match in which you deliver all of the killing blows as a resto druid. (Must be at least x/x/31)

Growth of the Forest – Win a rated 2v2, 3v3, or 5v5 arena match in which you use only instant casts. (Excludes feral druids, natures swiftness does not cancel the ability to achieve this.)

“Weren’t you a little disappointed that you turned back into an Elf when you hit the ground?”

The Nagrand FP platform wasn’t high enough to kill me. The fall took about 75% of my health away. I can only imagine how funny it looked to anyone who saw it. “WTF? Is that a tree falling out of the sky?”
