Featured: Andrige’s Shapeshift Skins

Tired of the shapeshifting into the same low-quality forms that have been in the game since day 1? Andrige has created a beautiful selection of modified form skins to make your life as a Druid a lot more enjoyable.

Phaelia Resto4Life Says “Farewell” on Twisted Nether

Bre and Fimlys of the Twisted Nether blogcast very graciously invited me onto their show this week to talk about my decision to close Resto4Life and what will become of Blog Azeroth and the World Tree Project. If you’re looking for a little more insight into my thought processes and future plans, I’d encourage you to give it a listen!

Thanks, Fim and Bre! It has been a tremendous honor to share the blogosphere with you both!

P.S. Apologies for the heavy breathing. My mic is just awful!

    I really enjoyed it! :)

    The breathing was only a LITTLE distracting…

    :P

    That was a lot of fun to listen to! My mic does the same thing, don’t worry ^^

    You sound like you’ll be a very nice, nurturing mother =) It’s sad to see you go, but maybe someday you’ll be able to grace us with your leafy presence again!

    Thanks, guys! :-) I only just realized this morning that I have a professional microphone we bought for Rock Band that I could probably have used instead. DOH!

    If it’s a headset microphone, it helps if it’s positioned off to the side of your head, rather than right in front of your mouth, that way breathing doesn’t hit the mic.

    Phae, though I don’t play a druid (and probably never will), I wanted to thank you for the awesomeness you supply on a daily basis. Though I won’t lie to you and tell you I check your blog directly, as I tend to follow the link from Bells blog (as I’m a parasite there), I do check it on a bi-daily basis, and it has always been the shining example of what all blogs should strive for: entertaining, informative, and engaging.

    Best of luck to your youngin’, and if it’s a female, keep her away from people like me. And if it’s a male, tell him confidence is the key. To everything. Everywhere.

    If your posts about an online game are any indication, which to some degree I suppose they are, I’m sure you will make a great mother.

    Cheers, love.

    Phaeeeee! I was just reading one of your posts on glyphs and it hit me again that you won’t be updating this again, and it filled me with immense sadness. Once again, trying to tamper it with some joy of your new bundle of joy. :D

    On topic: I really enjoyed the discussion you guys had. Make your own blog! k go!

    Very sad to see you go..I only recently…since WOTLK….started playing a Resto Druid and found your sight via BRK’s website (Old main was a hunter). Well I’ll need to find a new place to get my ’sage’ advice from but thank you so much for taking me from Zero to Hero(or Valorous) on the healing meters and giving me enough clear understanding, of everything from the class to how to build effective healing macros, to carry my own weight. Best wishes and CONGRATULATIONS!

    Just purchased two shirts, Phae (last day for the discount!).

    As a new resto druid, I’m sad to see this great resource go, but am quite happy for you, Mr. Phae and the sapling on the way.

    Grace and peace to you all,
    Baz

    Sad to hear you are closing down, it’s funny, I’m only just starting to blog and to me blogging seems like the new upcoming thing, and then to see that other people are past that point and are actively deciding to stop. Well, I guess it shows that things go around and around.

    Fare well!

    It’s sad to see such a great resto druid blog come to an end. Your closing of this site actually inspired me to start a druid blog of my own, though I know your blog set the bar much higher than most of us could ever hope to strive for. Best of luck with everything the future has in store for you.

    Always,
    Lissanna of Elune

The Sprout(ed) Seed (87)

15 short years till he wants to borrow the car! Cheers!

Phaelia
As much as I loved writing Resto4Life and am enjoying playing again (even if in a very limited capacity), I don’t have the time to devote to blogging anymore. Instead, I’ve been learning2play from Keeva at TreeBarkJacket.com and Lissanna at Restokin.com. :-) I am excited that BRK is back, though!

tkc
Soooo, with BRK back in action, I’m wondering if Phae will get recruited too.

The Belkin Nostromo N52 TE (73)

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.

I didn’t read the pages upon pages of comments so I don’t know if these issues have already been hit, but I can think of two things as a boomkin/tank druid that have helped immensely with my nostromo. First off, turn off the diagonals on the D-pad. Wow kindof accounts for these innately by combining vert/horizontal key presses. Having the nostromo keyed to do this is redundant and screws up movement. The second is key spam macro’s. I have my nostromo 6 buttom set to...
Andrige’s Shapeshift Skins (72)

Sweet thanks for sharing! And i thought I was the only one disappointed in WoW’s art and character customization! Let’s hope Cataclysm has more in the works of real visual art like this instead of middle school quality graphic farts!
Direct Healing in Wrath (103)

Phaelia
@Otta: This article is out of date and no longer relevant. I understand Nourish is now the preferred choice over Regrowth, though you should keep a RG on your tank for its HoT component. As the methods for finding this information are explained, someone should be able to apply them along with the new values to create an updated comparison. I, however, am not that person. :-)

Otta
Ok, just found this post, and it’s long and interesting, quick dumb question tho, the numbers for nourish with hots, is that the healing both by the nourish alone or also the hots that are running? I used to use regrowth and now use nourish, debate is whether to switch back. I also am specced into tranquil spirit – am guessing thats weird comapred to this info!
