Phaelia Player-Created Hairstyles Awe and Amaze

Disappointed with the lackluster hairstyle offerings currently being previewed in beta, Beta Tester Kxara has released several remodeled hairstyles. Shown below are two colors of her highly Druid-appropriate Night Elf female hairstyle entitled “Nymph”:

She’s also created several amazing styles for Troll females that are leaps and bounds beyond the current (and future) options. You can check them — and many other styles — out here.

    Oh that’s beautiful. I’d love http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/Sakurelf/wedding-1.jpg for my Kaibear, though. Toss some flowers in there, and it’d be PERFECT for what I want. =)

    Very well done, I really wish Blizzard would pay more attention to player’s with such creativity and initiative like this. It’s a real shame that this will probably go unnoticed and ultimately ignored by Blizzard…

    well done anyway man.

    Hurray for hairstyles!

    Honestly, with this player and a certain well-known but not allowed Druid model pack, I believe that Blizzard would do well to scout the playerbase for talent.
    Artistic renders, addon creation, Ipod compatibility, enhanced search options are all things that players seem to do quicker and with more “passion”.

    Either way, I am already happy that hairstyle changes were implemented in the first place, and this just is icing on the cake!

    Kudos to Kxara for the effort!

    I need this! I had wanted new hair for Syd pretty badly, but they chose terrible styles for night elves. I was actually happier with the human ones, and both my warlock and paladin are getting new styles. I hope someone takes notice! That, and I need seasonally-shifting leaf colors. Then I’ll be happy. Hint:what we have now is winter.

    I certainly enjoyed looking through these styles. I really do hope that Blizzard takes a good look at these. It’s too bad we can’t have battle afros. =/

    @Kai: I’d love that hairstyle, too, but I think Nymph is still a little more Druid looking. Wedding looks like you’d need a lot of hairspray to achieve. Pinesap, perhaps?

    @Zuggy: Definitely agree. With these hairstyles and Andrige’s form modifications, we’d be looking at a prettier game.

    @Natarumah: Ipod … compatibility? Really? Spin right for Lifebloom and left for Regrowth? :-)

    @Sydera: I like the new Night Elf styles OKAY, with the exception of “Soaked” which looks like a fish is glued to your head. My favorites are the double looped braids, the gathered hair with a single braid, and the short pixie cut. And I have always thought of Tree of Life looking more autumnal than winter. WTB snow-covered boughs.

    @Zackoria: Battle mohawks are bad enough!

Living Seed, Replenish, and Gift of the Earthmother (15)

Phaelia
@Perrin: Thank you for the clarification. Your description of the interaction between the two is very succinct and easy to understand so I’ve adopted your wording above. I hope that’s okay. :-) @Kiryn: Have you considered the fact that Rejuvenation + Swiftmend is a 1.5 second cast while Regrowth is only 2? I know that you aren’t having trouble with mana, but a Regrowth will hit harder and provide more potential benefits (crit = Nature’s Grace and possibly Living...

Kloro
Even though Replenish gives utility to Rejuvenation, my job is healing and I won’t put talent points in something that doesn’t explicitly contribute to healing. The only time I use Rejuvenation in a raid setting is when I need to Swiftmend someone who doesn’t already have a HoT on them. It simply is too slow and weak to be of use before another healer tops up the player.

Werebeef
I don’t think viewing living seed as a % of total healing is really the best way to look at it. It’s great for helping a player that is at very low health get back up to very high health and do so quickly. You don’t look at nature’s swiftness as a percentage of overall healing. I don’t think it makes that much sense here either. It’s also a talent that is better when the content is hard, when you have less overhealing. There’s also something...

Kalfurion
Hi Phae, long time no talk. I want to point out that I’m 0/0/71 and I love it. I don’t really find the talents in the balance tree to be that useful for my needs. I’m in a raiding guild as I’m sure you know and the three talents you spoke about suit my needs so well. My rogues, DK’s and our feral druid love me when I keep a rejuv on them for replenish. I’ve joined pugs and people look at my spec and make silly jokes and I don’t know why,...

Kiryn
I really like Replenish, personally. I find myself with far more mana regen than I need in most boss fights, so mana conservation isn’t much of an issue for me. I don’t even know why I carry mana potions if I never use them, and I’m far more likely to be innervating the priests than myself. I often treat rejuv-swiftmend as a near-instant 8k heal on a 15 second cooldown. It isn’t cheap, but it can bring someone back from the brink of death in a little over a second...
Guest Post: Leveraging Shadowmeld (23)

Penguinator
Our guild tried instructor Razuvious in H naxx and we had to try many different strategies, wiping a bunch or times because we had only 1 priest. Most of the time, i was assigned to raid healing and could heal in a corner above the arena. Whenever our tank died and he started one-shotting our raid (90k on a clothie, 30k on a tank) i shadowmelded and could start rezzing people. This was very useful, especially when the pallies ran out of reagents to DI.

Riverwish
As far as i’m aware they changed it so that when you meld in a raid instance you don’t leave combat so you can’t drink/eat or reset pot cooldowns in a raid bossfight, this is why you have to be quite lucky at escaping combat in a raid situation. I did manage to escape for Patchwerk numerous times but other bosses are trickier, I think it depends really on who your fighting and what room you’re in :) All these things can be done in 5 mans though. Riverwishs...

Vreenash
Thanks for posting this up Phae :) Keep the ideas flowing guys. It’s good to hear the different ideas and situations you’ve all been using shadowmeld in. Here’s another one for you: While leveling my way to 78 (still with the ground mount in northrend), there were quests that required killing a normal mob boss. They were usually in the centre of a town, camp or cave. Instead of killing all the mobs on the way to boss, just mount up and run directly to him....

Bearess
One note about SM that should be brought up. Yes it will bring you out of the fight in a lot of cases, but some bosses can still find you. AOE attacks will bring you out of a SM. So watch that. I learned that the hard way when Instructor Razuvious broke loose, and I skittered off a corner and SM. His next “victim” was too close to me when he let out his “Distrupting Shout” and I became next on his list. Figured I’d drop a line since it is a weakness to SM...

Arcaedus
Great info! I’ve often used SM to get out of combat when soloing but have put it to limited use in the instance/raid environment. @Riverwish: I’m not sure that you have to be the last player alive/targetable. I’ve had both successful and unsuccessful attempts with SM hiding on a wipe. My main example is on Patchwork. When multiple tanks go down and its a sure wipe, you are able to run behind one of the pillars and meld. As long as no one drags Patchy to you he should...
