Shift Happens Deadline Approaching

Just a reminder that the deadline for Shift Happens design submissions is in one week, September 24th. I’ve received one lovely submission so far, so if you still have an idea rattling around in your head, you have seven days to send it in! Once I have them all, I’ll put up a poll for readers to select their favorite (unless of course we only end up with the one submission). :-) You can read more about the contest here!

Spell of the Druid
by Batoruco

Things have been quiet around here lately, partly due to RL changes (Mr. Phae just finished his dissertation!) and partly because beta has been nigh-unplayable lately. I am working on an extensive new article about using the Nostromo in Wrath which I hope to have live by the end of the week. In the meantime, why not check out some of these other fantastic offerings:

  • Beta: The Awesome from ThinkTank
    Kalon shares his optimism amidst all the bemoaning going on about the state of Ferals in Wrath.
  • Choosing Professions in Wrath from Yet Another Warlock Nerf
    Horns gives a great summary of some of the new features included with the tradeskills in Wrath.
  • PvE to PvP Server Transfers and Overdue Policy Change from Lume the Mad
    Lume gives a highly detailed explanation of the reasons why PvE => PvP server transfers should be — and should have always been — allowed.
  • Role Switching: Part 1 from Bringin’ the Wood
    Jive writes about what it takes to switch from playing a pew-pew (or mew-mew) DPSer to a healer.
  • Tanked! Revaluing Feral Combat Talents in Beta Build 8926 from Unbearably HoT
    Runycat takes a look at the current must-have tanking talents in Wrath.

Wordle, Wordle!

Blogroll Additions

Several new blog authors appear to have been inspired by my earlier article, So You Think You Can Blog – You’re Right! (and some of whom were already off on the right track before I published):

  • Beware Splinters
    Sophilia of Turalyon (US) is a Restoration Druid seeking Salvation and Intellect!
  • Draenic Wisdom
    A beautiful blog from a player with an entire corps of Draenei alts!
  • Electronic Escape
    Eletronic Escape is a collaborative blog from Maeleigh and Loveth of Blackwater Raiders. Topic selection is pretty diverse but there are several great ones on Magery.
  • Less QQ, More PewPew
    Drotara of Illidan (US) publishes one of the most stylish and entertaining Hunter blogs out there. One can only assume that he’s assisted by his feline companion as, last I heard, Orcs can’t write.
  • Master Shapeshifter
    Rather than focusing on a single niche, Master Shapeshifter attempts to address all of the roles that a Druid can perform. Includes a plethora of helpful macros for all specs.
  • Moonkin Musings
    Neren of Fenris (US) plays a “big furry\feathery Hooter who dances like Chris Farley.”
  • A Rogue’s Eye View
    This great new Rogue blog recently snuck on the scene. Breaking with the class stereotype, it doesn’t even have a black background!
  • Sheep This!
    Alluding the the polymorph immunity afforded Druids when shapeshifted, Sheep This is a new blog written by Gelaende of Mannoroth (US). Focuses on play as a Restoration Druid as well as Gelaende’s corps of alts.
  • Talented
    Rawfle of Onyxia (US) has chosen the interesting blog focus of writing about individual talents, particularly for the three classes he happens to play: Druids, Mages, and Shamans.
  • Tish Tosh Tesh
    Rambling, rumbling, and rumination from someone who happens to love WoW … and apparently also adores alliteration!

    Ooh more reading! Yay! I have to say, I really, really love the “spell of the druid” art. I think that should be on my coffee mug, t-shirt, and perhaps bumper sticker XD

    Thanks for the link, Phaelia! I started writing my own blog after BBB mused on his blog that I should do so. Something I wrote on his blog gave him reason to think that I had something worth saying. I pray that I don’t disappoint. A short time later, your cheerleading was a nice shot in the arm. My writing does look at the game more from a design and business standpoint as opposed to that of a player, and I’m probably not what might be expected from a typical WoW fan. I’m also an artist in the game industry, so I’ll occasionally comment on that aspect of the game as well.

    In the meantime, I’m puttering around in my sketchbook, scrambling to submit something sublime for your shirt contest. The vector art isn’t going to make it in time, but I think the tradeoff for the time spent on my present painting will be well worth the change.

    I really appreciate the links to posts at other blogs, I don’t have much time to read a lot of WoW blogs and it helps me keep up with what’s going on.

    @Horns: You keep writing awesome articles and I’ll keep spotlighting them as a form of shameless content generation.

    @Drotara: Grats on your kitty friend picking up Rake. Definitely a needed change!

    @Sydera: Isn’t it gorgeous? If you follow that link, the artist is selling prints of the image so you could get one for your wall at the very least. :-)

    @Tesh: I’ve enjoyed what I’ve read from your blog so far, and I’m flattered to have inspired you even a little bit. I am very, very excited to see what you’re working on, too!

    @Jeff: That’s awesome! I try to bookmark things I think readers would like to see for the next Community Spotlight post I write. Despite the fact that they’re mostly “fluffy” in nature, they actually take a considerable amount of time to put together so I’m glad the work is helpful!

    @Mae and Andy: No problem! Keep up the great work!

Hey, Stormwalker! Great to hear from you! Our little sprout is growing fast, but don’t call him “little” when he’s around or he’s sure to tell you “I a little bit big!” :-)

Stormwalker
I…I…kinda miss you and your Druidic writings of old. Good to see you’re still around, busy with RL. The little sproutling looks a little bigger now! Regards, Stormwalker, of old.

Over two years later and this is still relevant and so very helpful. I hope you are having a blast with your little sprout, who’s probably running all over the place now. =D

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.
