		<description>@Plaidman: Oh, thank you! Fixed the link. =)

@Hana: Whoops - corrected gender-specific pronoun!

@Josh: Hey now Dwarves can&#039;t be Druids!

@Sorayn: It sounds like it should be compatible, according to Pain.

@Brolden: You&#039;re very welcome. :-D

@Paininabox: Thanks again for giving me permission to share this with everyone!

@Nilianil: It&#039;s very interesting, although I feel a little funny that I can&#039;t seem to find my current spec on the list. (I didn&#039;t take Replenishment or GotEM.)

@Keeva: Don&#039;t feel bad; it hadn&#039;t occurred to me either! One fewer key is always a good thing, though. :-) And thanks for being willing to link back here; keep up the great work on your blog!

@Sorayn: I actually ended up replacing several S2 Restoration items with S3 Balance items for the same reason (although I kept my whole set of S2 because I love the way it looks).

@Eggo: I think that the issue with balance has less to do with the 70-&gt;80 thing and more to do with the recent nerfs to all the content, making everything steam rollable by guilds who just want to experience the content before going to Wrath. In an unlimited mana situation, Druids are going to be hurt the most because we have traditionally benefitted from our high efficiency. I would love to see places like SM and UBRS recycled into Heroic versions of themselves. Who&#039;s to say Mograine hasn&#039;t leveled by now, after all?

@Nim: Glad to help!

@PTD: Definitely. :-)</description>

		<description>Well lightnings blade as been suffering form super lag and instance server being down or bugged (no mobs) for 3days now. Nothing like getting a group for Normal Bot and finding out you have nothing to kill. When I do manage to find something to heal I feel like sexual confused drag queen on prom night. Do I hot, do I regrowth spam or do I healing touch. When I played my priest it was greater heal or flash depending and the tanks hp with pom when I could and renew. I might just need a rotation or maybe I should just play the druid like my priest but I didn&#039;t reroll for that. I&#039;m hoping my confusion comes from the crappy gear I have but until they fix the server issues I can&#039;t change that.

This whole game play is balanced at 80 not 79 or 60 is starting to piss me off. WoW has always been a linear progression game. Level 1 to 2 to 3 to 5... should all be balanced even up to 80. If at 80 your all wtf pwn  when at 79 your sucked lama ball something is broken. Other wise I really don&#039;t care to play those levels in the middle blizzard just speed me to the end where the sun is shine and rainbows are. 

I&#039;m not asking for I win buttons I&#039;m not looking for flavor of the month classes all I&#039;m asking for is balanced enjoyable game play at every level and yes paper beats rock but mushrooms beat all. Should WoW be balance in all aspects?

And for all the time and effort the went into instance like SM and Ubrs  Should they be used more?
With the new phasing in Wotlk I&#039;d like to see stuff happen in those places they seem long forgotten and that makes me sad. 

Other things making me sad are, LFG system, WoW being a mmo that your better off playing solo and the blurring lines of every classes role (more tools in your box, I just want a hammer not 10 different hammers)</description>

		<description>Thanks Panina!

.. I just logged in and cried. My &#039;Amani Punisher&#039; is now a better healing weapon than my Gavel of Pure Light.  Better stamina/int/spellpower at the cost of a mere 3mp/5 out of 5SR and 7mp/5 in it.

Funny thing is.. I was the only one who could use it in that ZA run months back and picked it up for &#039;boomkin&#039; gear.  And now it&#039;s better than the mace I spent a month farming Sha&#039;tar rep for.</description>

		<description>Also: I promise to give a little linklove soon - I just keep forgetting to put together a proper list of my favourites rather than just being lazy and letting them build a list of blog links for me. Bit naughty, especially considering things are slow at the moment waiting for WotLK. Tsk. Let&#039;s just say that achievements are.. addictive. Curse you, Blizzard - like I needed another thing in the game to feed my obsessive compulsive tendencies.

Anyway, I need to set some time aside to check out as many blogs as possible and then put a proper list together (Resto4Life will be right up the top, of course). And jump on Blog Azeroth sometime, too... 

This weekend, I swear! I&#039;m writing it on my hand right now!

		<description>*facepalm* I can&#039;t believe I didn&#039;t think to combine Revive and Rebirth! What a dummy! While trying to get used to my new keybinds, a few times I&#039;ve hit my Revive instead of Rebirth, and vice versa, and I still didn&#039;t think to use a nocombat modifier. Sigh. Thank you Alathi and Phae!

And thank you so much for mentioning my blog! I blushed :)

As to OpenOffice compatibility, after a quick perusal of the spreadsheet everything seems to be in order in OpenOffice.</description>
