Some Druids Pay their Repair Bills in Euros

December 11, 2007
Categories: Community, PvP

Greek Phaelia (it's the best I could come up with ^_^)While the number of Hunter blogs once rivalled the Druid blog community, I think we’ve now pulled ahead by a fair margin. Clearly, Druids are jabbermouths. I have three new blogs to share today, all of which hail from friends across the Atlantic.

  • // erumel;
    Niniel of Kilrogg (EU) is apparently a C# programmer, though I’m not sure why he’s opted to comment his blog out! While the majority of her blog postings concern World of Warcraft, you’ll find more than only that with posts on music and his life outside the game.
  • Deeply Druidic
    Deeply Druidic is a brand new blog written by Mauritius of Burning Steppes (EU). Mauritius has experience with all walks of life as a Druid as well as PvE, PvP, and raid content.

One more, this time from an American player, Razorbaxftw of Medivh:

  • Three Druid Noob
    One player, three Druids, one from each spec (Feral, Balance, and Restoration). This blog is destined to be an interesting one to follow! Plus, he has a really cool picture of one of his Druids in the sidebar.

I’m also adding Druid Tips of the Day, an article by well-known PvPer Hafu published by PvPSource, to the resources section of my blogroll. It details strategies for dealing with specific 2v2 matchups, and here’s a snippet of what she’s written:

Warriors: After the Intercept, Travel Forming away is great. Be ready to shift quickly out and into Travel Form multiple times as most good Warriors will be ready to Hamstring and Piercing Howl. If the Warrior got out of combat, feel free to rank 1 Moonfire them — and run. It’ll take them a second to switch back into Berserker stance — and that’s if they have Intercept up.

Oh, and this is a sleeker, faster alternative to using the WoWArmory. You can read Amanna’s very detailed writeup on the various features over at Adventures in Azeroth. Neat!

    Is is just me or what has all this to do with the “Some Druids Pay their Repair Bills in Euros” title? :)

    Er … yeah. It can be REALLY hard to come up with interesting titles for multiple Blog highlights!

    A better tip for Warriors:

    Never activate Nature’s Grasp BEFORE they Intercept you. They’ll get rooted but will still be in range to hit while the stun lasts, and we all know roots love to break at the crappiest times. After Intercept is over, put up NG and kite some more.

    Hei from Europe (Finland to be precise)! Just wanted to say thanks for the mention… it touched the sappy core of my treeish heart :-) And, also, just wanted to add that I love reading your blog even tho sometimes the technical stuff makes me feel a bit bearish (numbers are hard for little bear brain) lol

Hey, thanks for the nice plug for my blog!
Direct Heals in Wrath (21)

Kelerain
Do you have a source on the coefficients thing? I can’t find a good source after some digging. Reading the official talents, it appears empowered rejuvenation is the same style of bonus, but did not get doubled. I’m not sure I see the logic in it relating to spell power. 40% of healing vs 40% of spell power should be the same relative increase no matter the coefficient being multiplied by. 40% spell power before hand is the same as 40% after the coefficient. Same for the...

Kelerain
Regarding the coefficient, I think the glyph would be complete garbage at half the coefficient. I can see no role for it to play there. Assuming a full coefficient, It seems to get somewhat poor HPM, but not unreasonably poor (in the range of a current HT or one-off regrowth). Nourish is much better in this department. It does seem, however, to get good enough HPS to make this a reasonable ‘tradeoff’, getting HPS numbers in the chain-regrowth-with-glyph range. If you had...

Phaelia
@Kelerain: The 1.4 change was made because of spell power changes. It was necessary to increase its bonus from 1.2 to 1.4 so that the overall bonus was unchanged. However, since we’re working with +Healing rather than spell power, the 1.2 is actually still the relevant statistic. You aren’t the first person to ask about that, though, so maybe I should have explained it in the article itself. Thanks for following up!

Kelerain
You really got me interested in this one. I’ve been playing with the HT Glyph analysis, and I may have uncovered an error. From above (and your spreadsheet): “CoefficientHealing Touch = Base Coefficient * Gift of Nature * Empowered Touch * Master Shapeshifter = 1.0 * 1.1 * 1.2 * 1.04 = 1.3728″ Empowered touch is now a 40% increase, instead of a 20% increase, giving: 1.0 * 1.1 * 1.4 * 1.04 = 1.6016 This is substantially better, and may influence your analysis. Ht...

Phaelia
@Kelearin: I do see what you mean about the potential for HT. It’s still not clear, though, if its casting time reduction will function the same way that Naturalist does (i.e., it won’t get a smaller +Healing coefficient, despite a faster cast time). It seems like a 1.5 second spell with a 100% coefficient would just be insanely OP. The fact that healing is reduced by 50% makes me suspect that they also reduce the coefficient, but we won’t know until those Glyphs are...
Bear Form Armor and Downranking Woes (21)

Phaelia
@Nyxtaru: Sadly, I didn’t realize Rank 1 roots were so effective until just recently. Poo. @Tone: To be honest, the loss of green armor is a bit disappointing for me, too. With Improved Tree of Life giving an armor bonus, I was looking forward to finding some myself. Although I guess there wouldn’t really have been any with healy stats. ^_^ Definitely going to try to shy away from cloth, tho! Great point about being able to role-shift during combat. @Tildir: That would be...

Phaelia
@Adremma: Oh, I’m sorry about the confusion. >.< Thanks for the correction! @Kalfurion: That store looks a lot like the Anthropologie stores we have in the States. I probably couldn’t afford anything there, either! :-D @Eglador: Thanks. Corrected! :-) @Graylo: Oh, my mistake!! I’ve adjusted the description to be more clear.
Wrath Recap (21)

Phaelia
@Tone: I agree, and I really worry about the viability of a “Cat Druid.” Rogues really struggle to justify their raid spots these days due to the superiority of ranged damage. How can a Druid compete if, as they’ve indicated, they still do less damage than a Rogue even when specialized?
