#

yeah

rapid wind
#

the engineering ones that reflect

#

also

#

yeah

#

tidal charm

#

it will be very hard

#

i was there a few times and no one was there

#

though sometimes a few were

#

ouch

#

i got mine free πŸ™‚

#

guildees

#

he kinda owes me since im feeding him my transmutes for arcanite

#

the only thing i bought for now was the 3 brilliant shards

#

i just dinged 53 so probably gonna get it next day or so

#

just wish i had more bag space so i can make different sets up easier i guess can be a bit better once im 60

lone bear
#

is the battle chicken meant to follow?

inner hornet
#

Hey chaps! I'm so bored of my 35 paladin but enjoy healing!

I wonder. Should I roll a druid? I enjoy druids on retail.

Tauren or Nelf? If I roll Tauren that'll mean long BG queues and no help from my main. Can't decide! (I'm currently on Flamelash)

sand raven
#

If you're on a pvp server you can't play both factions

inner hornet
#

I can always roll on another realm for the horde πŸ™‚

near leaf
#

Full resto druid can be fun to heal with at 60. But leveling is def superior than pally, healing while leveling is boring and easy still, just spam healing touch and put rejuv on tank.

#

Priest is still the ultimate healing class tho :P

teal kite
#

How does hps in classic healing work related to the rej tick heals?

vague iris
#

Is stormshroud usefull for ferals?

lone bear
#

because in classic it works

vague iris
#

your caster form got it, if not the question could also be how do you regenerate a resource you don't have

#

one intended on the version we are playing

#

we are on 1.2 ? it is fixed in 1.4

#

people wanted the classic experience i guess

#

ah my bad

#

not on the patch we are playing i am afraid

#

the bug was fixed in 1.4

#

then it should be fixed i guess

torpid musk
#

I'm told it should be fixed also

#

But there's always going to be the #nochanges stupidity thrown in with what should / shouldnt be...

lethal pendant
#

do enchants on weapons work in cat/bear form?

#

the bis list on wowhead doesn't list any to use

rapid wind
#

You want stats on your weapons

pale nest
#

enchants with proc on attack or +weapon damage do not work in forms

#

so at the moment the best you can have is probably int or spirit for some extra mana, and agility in later phases when it becomes available

lethal pendant
#

gotcha ty

rapid wind
#

Clarifying that, not sure why he didn't include stamina, str, as those will affect your health, your attack power in forms so as feral I try to have all stats favoring str stm agility and then tossing in a bit of spirit/int for mana / mana regen...

molten matrix
#

is the speed of a weapon important for a feral in classic? 2,4 and 3,8 the same?

dense bronze
#

Weapon speed doesn't mean anything to feral

molten matrix
#

so a 3,8 hammer with 16 str and 16 agi is nice?

dense bronze
#

(or weapon damage for that matter)
its a pure stat stick

haughty siren
#

Are there any really high level nelf druids?

covert rover
#

There’s lvl 120 nelf druids even. But if you have a question you get far better response if you just ask

#

But yes there’s max lvl nelf druids out there

vague iris
#

Is stormshroud useful for ferals?

willow radish
#

Are there any good druids streaming classic?

lavish comet
#

What are feral dps like in classic? I heard they are not good for raiding, is this true? Would I get rejected for raid and dungeon spots if I rolled pure feral dps? Ty in advance.

lone bear
#

if you went highest damage then no, we arent top

rugged zenith
#

If that raid still need druid, any druid, you'll get invited. Innervate and bress is strong

lone bear
#

we are the only ones with an on demand battle res tho, our buff is great, innerv

rugged zenith
#

Your 5% crit can be decent addition.

lone bear
#

3*

lavish comet
#

Ok, but In a 40 man raid is it likely that there will be other Druids with those bress and innervate.. was there a cap on bress per fight in classic? Sorry for so many questions

rugged zenith
#

no bress limit, but it's 30min cd

lavish comet
#

Ok cool, Il go for it as I like to play feral only pretty much.

#

I don’t even play other classes.. only feral cat throughout my wow play time

rugged zenith
#

You'll find raid comp is more flexible than you thought.

lavish comet
#

Ok ty mate

lone bear
#

also, find powershift macros, furor is free 40 energy

#

energy ticks in with 20 energy at intervals

#

but you wont need to worry til lvl 20 anyway

lone bear
#

whats the point in buying the rake upgrade?

rugged zenith
#

it's really good vs mob 2 lvl higher than you.

#

I found my dps similar between spamming claw + FB and using rake and rip.

#

vs similar lvl mob anyway, when i am fighting orange mob (3+ higher lvl) rake and rip is just really good because it ignore armor.

lone bear
#

true, what do you think of pounce? πŸ˜›

rugged zenith
#

bad. probably only useful on pvp.

cold moth
karmic juniper
#

moonkins are almost nonexistent and feral druids aren't horrible early

cold moth
#

I noticed rogue is there twice

#

I wonder what the bad rogue is, subtlety?

kind glen
#

Is feral any good in classic?

noble forge
#

Its Not complete garbage it isnt great either

rapid wind
#

Pounce isn't bad, lol, it stops something from attack you for a few seconds anyway you can pounce dot up bleed back away avoid a hit then bear form or whatever.

#

well its cool when you are duoing for pve also

#

sur eyou can ravage but if you pounce it will let you and your partner do damage to it longer without it attacking anyone

#

yeah gotta be in bear and then try to execute precise moments to shift out, barskin, NG, heal

#

if we were tauren the warstomp root thing is great

#

Well it doesn't suck in the fact that we are attractive and get laid more than any taurens πŸ™‚

#

Though not sure if that matters for gameplay lol

nimble kestrel
#

U lyin to yourself if you think big black bulls aren't getting laid

frigid robin
#

hmmmm

tall belfry
#

seems about right. Middle of the pack πŸ€”

#

"our" leggo doesn't drop till phase 6 and when it does its in like 40 pieces... cough

tall belfry
#

Classic will in theory last forever so it might be possible... oneday
other things to hope for... The End of Dreams

#

that would be nice

rare anchor
#

atiesh won't be as rare as it was. The thing you gotta do is become a guild politician and at least be on the list. Eventually it will come ha.

tall belfry
#

get an all druid raid going... what could go wrong with 40 B rezes?

rare anchor
#

I think one of the first atieshs on live was actually a druid. Saw it in reddit from multiple posters. Some US realm.

tall belfry
#

on another thought, if few druids end up in raids but manage to get on good terms in a guild they could get priority. but that would likely require the Druid to be the MT or primary Heals πŸ€”

rare anchor
#

also it wiΔΊl help when people keep reminding themselves how easygoing classic raiding is. Naxx won't be as much as a pushover, nor AQ40, but it will be very very accessible. So then it kinda defeats the point to minmax so heavily on atiesh cause everything is on farm and it was already kinda easy.

#

at least for modern gamers. So just gotta be a covert operative for a few years. and yoink that favour.

tall belfry
#

as a pvp weapon it could be useful o-o

rare anchor
#

Yeah exactly. Become buddies with the RL or GM and make a huge list of stuff you've done for them over the years. Then just call in dat debt or guilt complex when the time comes.

rapid wind
#

anyone here use clique ?

#

Wondering if you can get a macro into it so you can cancelform and stuff

low steeple
#

you can

wicked finch
#

anyone know if there is an addon for classic that lets you see a timer for your hots on the blizzard raid frames?

low steeple
#

Click "Bind other" then "Run custom macro" @rapid wind

#

don't bother with showtooltip; it won't do anything, but the rest of the usual macro commands should work

rapid wind
#

@low steeple Thank you πŸ™‚ I forgot about that.

willow escarp
#

Oh nice, Clique has a Classic add-on now?

#

I must have missed it, definitely one of my "must haves"

low steeple
#

it's been there since the start afaik XD

rapid wind
#

Seems to not like the the [noform:5} thingy in my macros but other then that it works great πŸ™‚

#

The reason you missed it is because I believe it's not on the mainstream sites; gotta get it off of curseforge i think

#

at least it wasn't when i got it

low steeple
#

is that a direct copy/paste from your macro? cuz you put a } instead of a ] if so

rapid wind
#

nope sorry just typo here haha

low steeple
#

hmm

#

is there a form 5?

rapid wind
#

it's really not a big deal as I don't think it matters

low steeple
#

3 is cat, 4 would be boomkin I think

#

what else is there?

rapid wind
#

4 is travel

low steeple
#

ooooo

#

I forgot travel

rapid wind
#

I think 5 is boom / tree or something

#

i never researched it that much since it wasn't relevant at thispoint but I guess if i play resto/ balance it might be

#

but if i justhave /cancelform no problem but with the [noform:5] it won't activate. Perhaps clique isn't reading it right or something

low steeple
#

what's your macro doing that you needed noform:5? cuz that shoudl be boomkin, but I thought boomkin wasn't used?

rapid wind
#

Tree of life also

low steeple
#

still weird.. I just did noform's with the other forms and it was fine

rapid wind
#

Same thing as me with the noform:5 also ?

low steeple
#

no like I did /cancelform [noform:1] and it worked as it should

rapid wind
#

Try it with [noform:5] see if you get the same thing where it doesn't operate. IF so, my suspicion is since he's probably recoded it from retail it might still be working off of retail or something..

low steeple
#

works fine

#

what's your macro? and did you put it on the right binding set?

rapid wind
#

Were you in travel form ?

low steeple
#

I don't have travel form yet

#

so can only test using the other forms

rapid wind
#

oh i think it thinks travel form is 5 that's why its doing that

low steeple
#

should report it to him

sweet tangle
#

cat/bear druids benefit from direct attack power on gear as well right?

coarse mica
#

yes

noble forge
#

@rapid wind tree of Life does not exist

rapid wind
#

Well whatever, that's what those macros came saying it was for (5); but the bottom line is it is not operating atm because it thinks travel form is 5 not 4. It's actually not a big deal in reality...

#

So no reason to use the noform:5 ? I don't play resto or balance even in retail lol

#

I guess it's for moonkin form

near mirage
#

/run local x=GetShapeshiftForm()print("you are in form:",x)

#

this will solve your mystery.

#

and tell you which # it is.

#

well I misread the issue but still have the script anyway, might come useful. =Γ§

outer meadow
#

is it me or is the worst part of druid by far the first 10 levels? -edit

#

rerolled a few new toons on classic and ugh.. wrath spam and casting staffing...

noble forge
#

why do you wrath after 10?

outer meadow
#

er, sorry typo there, first 10 levels

near mirage
#

Nothing better to do? boredom? =P

#

lol.

noble forge
#

a lot of classes can be quite annoying first 10 levels

#

didnt feel like druid was particularly bad

upbeat knot
#

Druid didnt feels good until 20

noble forge
#

21 is even bigger

#

30% movementspeed

upbeat knot
#

Thatd be 22 i think

#

Since each talent gives you 15%

noble forge
#

yes

near mirage
#

I guess the main difference is that with most classes you can already do what your favorite flavor will do, while for druids is ... well, nothing till 20 =P if you want to be a feral.

noble forge
#

and 20 should be your 11th talent

upbeat knot
#

Truuu

outer meadow
#

since we're already chatting in here, I had a 60 druid bakc in vanilla, mostly a pvp healer/flag carrier but it was prior to the buffs to the feral tree

#

does anyone feel strongly about 0/30/21 vs 7/11/33ish?

#

for pvp?

near mirage
#

so, feral or resto?

vague iris
#

would you reroll to place feral swiftness into other talents after travel form?

near mirage
#

I wouldn't, travel form doesn't work indoors.

#

but.. personal preference and what you do.

vague iris
#

does fs?

#

isn't it only outdoor as well ?

willow escarp
#

Yes

near mirage
#

no, nevermind me. I'm out 2/2 this far.

willow escarp
#

I like keeping feline swiftness - saves the mana of shifting to travel then back to cat

#

Certainly wouldn't even consider speccing out until 60

modern anchor
#

any site for looking up weights? x int = y +heal

#

(or addons like on retail)

remote lance
#

You can't really weigh throughput and longevity objectively

rugged zenith
#

~200+ slimes

modern anchor
#

yes but you kinda need less mana with +heal so you need less int

sick merlin
#

I was farming St minibosses for like 3 hours and got 1 blue item and it wasn't shoulders :(

noble forge
#

@vague iris wouldnt respecc for questing for example staying in cat preservers your energy

#

so its still quite useful

#

and unless you bear a lot the other talents arent really impactful

#

was wondering tho how good is primal fury for dungeon tanking on low level or should I just go predatory strikes -> Faerie Fire -> Savage fury instead?

#

intending to SM monastary farm anyway later on so prolly respeccing to Feral Instinct instead of brutal impact/thick hide anyway so might just go full bear for that

sick merlin
#

Don't get tank talants while lvling imo you don't need it

vague iris
#

@noble forge thx

noble forge
#

@sick merlin extra threat and extra rage for sure is useful

#

I just dont know how much rage it really is

#

both extra rage and extra threat is additional dmg

sick merlin
#

Yeah it's nice but is rather have the cat talents while lvling. I'm still currently tanking 60 dungeons without any tank talents and haven't had issues

#

Primal fury generates a lot of rage assuming your criteria is high

#

Crit*

noble forge
#

no

#

oh

#

nvm

#

im

#

dumb

#

I always thought it gives rage if they crit you

#

but its if you crit

sick merlin
#

Lol yea

#

If I remember correctly swipe gives you rage on each target crit though

tall belfry
#

"I always thought it gives rage if they crit you" that is warrior which is why they are going Fury tank build.

noble forge
#

@tall belfry no?

#

there is no warrior talent which gives extra rage on crit

#

enrage is dmg

#

but pretty sure thats not the main reason to go fury tank later on

sand raven
#

it is hte reason you go fury tank, to do more threat

noble forge
#

well there are a lot of reasons not only enrage

#

but afaik you cant really go fury tank yet you lack too much hit

rapid wind
#

nice 59 mage down.. lol

haughty siren
#

do most good pvp druids play tauren in classi

#

classic

rapid wind
#

+5 levels not bad

mental crystal
#

yeah i've noticed all the good ones play either tauren if they're horde or night elf if they're alliance

haughty siren
#

you know what i mean

noble forge
#

not really

#

people chose horde alliance based on what they want to do

mental crystal
#

no no clue at all what you mean

noble forge
#

but sure horde racial is better in pvp

mental crystal
#

pretty vapid question tbh

noble forge
#

cause alliance is useless

#

horde isnt

haughty siren
#

Do most of the good players that I want to watch play PVP play horde?

#

will want to

rapid wind
#

i like SM cuz its handy to drink and use while waiting for stealth to come up but yeah its not as nice as TS

noble forge
#

stealth has 10s cd

#

seems very rare

rapid wind
#

nope all the time

#

You can't eat or drink in forms

#

in classic

noble forge
#

oh

rapid wind
#

So if you start eating you vis but you CAN sm

noble forge
#

oh ye

#

just tried didnt even know that part

#

but makes sense

rapid wind
#

bit of a ok i can tab out and not worry haha if im in a dangerous area

noble forge
#

on my lvl 26 druid I dont think I used shadowmeld once yet

rapid wind
#

when i heard it stunk compared to retail i thought I never would

#

but then I figured out how to make it at least somewhat useful

#

but unlike taurens we need to hope for a NG versus a stomp, entangling roots πŸ™‚

covert rover
#

it's also nice for talking with quest-givers in mob-infested areas

#

smeld i mean

rapid wind
#

omg so bad I beat him but i keep forgetting to use first aid lol

#

i could healed up to full when he blocked

rapid wind
#

bad form to use healing / mana pots when you are getting ganked ?

covert rover
#

huh?

#

i use everything

#

if you can't afford to use pots/bandages/healthstones and what's'not then you shouldn't be jumping me

#

i'm not going to die to some idiot trying to kill me while i mind my own business

remote lance
#

Fear ward perception escape artist are all pretty decent for pvp. Not as good as horde but not nothing

#

And bubble heal is pretty much alliance "racial" anyway. No mass dispell to check it

sand raven
#

shadowmeld is sick

#

start drinking -> shadowmeld

#

bam now instead of being in your most vulnerable state you're in your most protected one

maiden current
#

Anyone go Balance tree first before filling out the feral tree? I've seen some videos of people getting Omen first while leveling. Is it worth it ? No? I would try but re specing is expensive.

sand raven
#

no

#

but

#

it is better to go balance tree until you hit 20

#

in which case you respec & swap to feline swiftness

covert rover
#

i went full feral from start.. getting that speed is such a great thing

#

and wild charge right after too

#

if you are a rich boye then sure.. but i had issues having enough gold.. defo didn't feel like spending a full gold at lvl 20

#

if it was the second char or i had people to gimme money then i would have gone balance from start and respecced

maiden current
#

@covert rover Thats what I did

#

Im 38 now. Just was wondering if anyone tried Balance then feral here. Heard good things somewhere else but wanted more input before I spend a precious gold coin

covert rover
#

going feral from start also makes getting cat form so much better since you had nothing to make life easier in caster form XD

maiden current
#

Going balance gives you more dmg? dont know how much. Omen and cheaper shifting.

#

Plus the grasping roots on being hit ability

covert rover
#

indeed.. shorter wrath cast time and better moonfire

#

tbh i dunno which talents i would go for first there.. i ended up deciding for feral from start and forgot the idea for the other trees

maiden current
#

Ah I see what you are saying. If you plan on going Feral the typical talents you grab are Natures Grasp, Improved Natures, Natural weapons, Omen and Natural Shapeshifter.

sand raven
#

i felt like Wild Charge was a terrible choice until I got Furor

tall belfry
#

I think i'm having to learn a lot more macros for things that just work in retail. (cancel aura to use abilities or items etc, show different tool tips for forums. stance conditions etc)

noble forge
#

@maiden current pretty sure every guide which recommends going balance respeccs at 20

#

but 1g is quite a lot

#

that early

#

and I personally am not going feral charge

#

dont see too much point early

#

maybe if you dungeon grind

sand raven
#

every guide suggests it because it's better

#

but the difference isn't major

tall belfry
#

I wasn't planning on a power shift build but by lvl 30ish i'm reconsidering that...

crude hawk
#

I'm gonna have to go healing for raiding, but would still like to not be useless doing world content solo. Better to do like a moonglow hybrid build or something that includes HotW and cat talents out of the feral tree?

rapid wind
#

have to remember to use my first aid its 300 and when a mage blocks, and you don't want to waste mana it's clutch...

remote lance
#

Honestly all of the talents dont do that much for you. Feral tree probably gives the most bang for the buck

#

Gear sets matter much more than the talents

dense bronze
#

Honestly if you want to do world content get a friend, and if you want to farm level an alt
Doing anything alone in healing spec/gear is rather painful and it will never be worth it to respec every week

#

Trying to do some sort of solo/raid hybrid will just make you a lot worse in raids

sand raven
#

get a feral offset

#

you don't need talents tho they do help a lot

dense bronze
#

karmic juniper
#

dyne i killed ragnaros as a moonkin

dense bronze
#

Congratulations

karmic juniper
#

i was given power infusion

dense bronze
#

And yet I can't see you on top dps? πŸ€”

karmic juniper
#

my damage is really bad

#

i was fresh 60

#

i was using a carrot on a stick

heady kite
#

Im sorry, you want to top dps as the utility class?

karmic juniper
#

well i'm obviously not going to top dps on a raid boss in basically any situation

#

regardless

#

i'm in a guild full of good players who are also playing meta specs

#

power infusion given to me was just a meme

heady kite
#

nothing wrong with that, it was a shot at dyneslott for saying you werent to dps lol

Welcome back rewt

#

Thank u

uneven tangle
#

does anyone know what the stat priority is for HOTW/NS resto druid is?

rare anchor
#

As in, a healing set for the spec? higher emphasis on intellect cause you want to benefit more from HotW. So, if it's +10 int and 33 healing versus 0 stats 44 healing. Probs go for the 10 int piece

#

later it matters less but for phase 1, use zero int items sparingly, if you have the choice.

rapid wind
#

Why would anyone be upset if you roll on leather pieces for tanking? because you are healing ?

#

There's a strong argument that before 60 almost every piece is a potential upgrade for druids or for any class really unless it's clear cut caster item or whatever

willow escarp
#

rings/neck are tough because the actual tank will likely want it

rapid wind
#

ohwell im usually him so πŸ™‚ perhaps it's because he's healing. Probably want to set up some party guidelines on that beforehand...

noble forge
#

@rapid wind @cold moth im usually tanking but asking to roll for dmg gear tbh just ask if they find it annoying that you roll on the gear

#

like you rolling need on both cloth and tank stuff is a bit exsessive

#

than tell them beforehand

#

most people wont mind but if you randomly need

#

thats annoying

#

well that is kinda on you cant get annoyed by people wanting their main specc

sterile eagle
#

when does the patch hits US?

coarse mica
#

Classic patch? thonkang

sick merlin
#

I tank and dps a lot as feral. What's the best spec to kinda be okay at both

sand raven
#

i'll link mine

noble forge
#

looks to be very focused on tank

sick merlin
#

Yeah that's pretty much all tank

#

I dunno about the improved thorns

#

I guess I just have to give up thickhide and feline grace

#

If I Wana not completely suck at dps

sand raven
#

yeah it is a tank setup

karmic lark
#

Have any of you planned on doing the heart of the wild build?

sand raven
#

yea right there

karmic lark
#

That isn't the build lol. Heart of the wild is a 0/31/21 build

#

I have enjoyed improved thorns for solo content though

sick merlin
#

Well you didn't specify which build lol

#

Every feral build is a heart of the wild build

rapid wind
#

i use that one for my pvp tank dps spec atm for levelling and will probabl just keepit

karmic lark
#

The heart of the wild build isnt a feral only build. Its a hybrid one that players can heal and tank in the same raid effectively

rapid wind
#

Probably should stop talking about 'feral" "resto" "balance" and concentrate on the individual talent options that you take or don't take as otherwise, illustrated here, it can get confusing πŸ™‚

remote lance
#

Be the true hybrid and spec 17 17 17

sick merlin
#

Ew

covert rover
#

or just call them guardian specs >(

nimble kestrel
#

bear cat resto uselessbird

#

jk i love my laser oomkins

#

druid in vanilla pvp is actually so fun

#

doesn't even matter what spec their kit is just cool to play with

remote lance
#

Wow toxic

sand raven
#

w8 i'm dumb

#

i thought you meant leader of the pact not heart of the wild

#

heart of the wild build is 30-21, meaning you can't pick up leader of the pack, such a juicy talent lost out on by just 1 point

crisp mountain
#

@karmic lark I'm running the HoTW/NS build, happy tanking or healing anything and can hold own single target dps. Might have to respec OoC for phase 2 but it's gr8 atm. Only issue is the max water takes forever to fill 4500mana

noble forge
#

@sick merlin Thorns is a lot of dmg in dungeons

sick merlin
#

I've always just went with imp rage

#

But might have to try imp thorns

noble forge
#

rage can hurt you a lot

sick merlin
#

Yeah just want primal fury and 15% more threat mostly

#

Been just tanking as full dps spec

#

Hard to keep with overzealous dps

#

Keep up*

noble forge
#

ye intending to respecc to that too soonish

#

prolly at 30 or so

sand raven
#

i played with a balance druid while leveling through Scarlet Monastery

#

ever since then I've wanted to spec imp thorns, sadly I can't start to spec it until fuckin 56

#

but i definitely want it

rapid wind
#

I want my NS soon like in 2 levels πŸ™‚

karmic lark
#

@crisp mountain how is AoE tanking? I mostly like the look of the build because I hate waiting for groups so filling two roles at once seems awesome

crisp mountain
#

It's painful to generate rage while dps are hitting every mob except skull...but with a bit of sense from dps it's fine. Swipe only hits 3 mobs so no point pulling more, tab Maul gives great threat

rapid wind
#

Yeah so unless there's a reason like a difficult pull I don't bother with the markers

#

everyone is "go go go retail" lol πŸ™‚

crisp mountain
#

πŸ˜„

noble forge
#

@karmic lark thorns is great for aoe tanking

You will lose Aggro on some Mobs but thats fine

any lvl 60 cats around? πŸ˜„

any1 got some WA for Nature's Grace?

rapid wind

justowned a 60 priest at56 well i didnt kill him but he ran awaylol...

#

is there a CD on dispel magic ? I guess it costs em mana though right (signifcant)?

noble forge
#

there is no cd no

#

and dont think its too expensive

rapid wind
#

well he panic wrestled cuz he was almost OOM fast... he was trying to mana burn me but then realized he was going to die lol....

#

will try the rank 1 rejuv trick next time.. he seemed fairly dumb and with poor reflexes

#

he ganked me when i wsa low fighting a mob and then i came back to make an attempt had a feeling it wouldn't be a bad idea πŸ™‚

33 armor or +4 defense for tanking πŸ€”

#

ARMOR!

rapid wind
#

will include it in my next video no he panic wrestled pretty fast πŸ™‚ it was never a point where I had to actually really worry about healing

#

I have a hilarious clip in fellwood im doing that ariel escort and some aoeing mage either tries to ruin it or just gets confused while mouthbreathing.. but he got owned by me with some help from the treant πŸ™‚

#

Why would a mage ever try to kill a druid

rugged zenith
#

You can't hibernate a mob stunned by bash. Y'all know if this is intended or bug?

sick merlin
#

Seems like a bug

#

But I haven't personally tried it

#

What mob?

rugged zenith
#

I just died 3 times from devilsaur because it said "more powerful spell is already active" when i try to bash -> hibernate

#

i thought i canceled hibernate by accident, but i saw he replay and that what it said.

sick merlin
#

Do you have max rank?

#

Seems really dumb If that's intended

rugged zenith
#

Both time happened when bash is up

#

it's considered a stun, so i guess bash took priority?

#

rank3 bash vs rank 2 hibernate

#

maybe i should try derank bash and see if higher rank hibernate win

sick merlin
#

Go train rank 3!

rugged zenith
#

still 57

sick merlin
#

Rip

#

How is soloing devilsaurs at 57?

rugged zenith
#

5 so far

#

Devilsaur is the hardest one because knockback ate like 20% of my health in bear form.

sick merlin
#

Everytime I try to farm them there's 5-10 horde camping spawns

rugged zenith
#

Tyrant and Ironhide is very easy.

#

i only see 1 lvl 60 rogue probably farming there too. My server isn't PvP so i am surprised with the lack of competition, might be because of not prime time.

sick merlin
#

Ah

#

Yeah I've resorted to waiting till horde loot a devilsaur and then ravaging them lol

#

But doesn't always work out

rugged zenith
#

what's 1 devilsaur leather on your server cost rn?

sick merlin
#

10-11g

#

On whitemane

#

Heavy pop and pvp

rugged zenith
#

28-29 on mine. Maybe because lack of horde.

sick merlin
#

Oh wow

#

I feel like it should be cheaper on a pve server

#

Unless it's just smaller pop

rugged zenith
#

According to the realm pop thing that pop up in wowhead. Atiesh-US, 7:3 ally:horde -_-

hardy dawn

engineering is good for every class in classic

rapid wind

The only con of it compared to other classes is cuz of the forms...

but it's still good πŸ™‚

engi is bis for every class but druids get the least out of it

currently am alchemy enchant soon gonna swich to engineer

i'm herb/alch for leveling

#

not like it's possible to lvl alch during that without herbing

after that i prolly swap over to engi

ive found leatherworking being insane gold

Yo guys, when have you been able to AoE farm as Druid while leveling? Is 40 enough when you have the AoE spell or also need 44 for Bark Skin? Or does anyone AoE farm as bear

sand raven
#

the aoe spell? You mean hurricane? It's on a 1 min cd lul

noble forge
#

you dont aoe farm as druid

#

unless you mean dungeons

remote lance
#

Hurricane is like super meme tier

rugged zenith
#

1min cd, cast time, no damage, less tick if you get hit, no talent that buffs it, cost bajilion mana.

#

Meanwhile frostmage blissard...

tender scarab
#

it also goes ham on threat because of the attack speed debuff

noble forge
#

ive seen tanks use it with barkskin on some pulls

#

seems solid for that

#

occasionally

#

but gotta know that you can survive it

torpid musk
#

I never even trained it yet lol

sand raven
#

no

#

hurricane is sick

#

barkskin > hurricane on giant pulls

#

i've been saving for mount but now i'm gonna pick it up for to help with the huge pulls that I can't hold threat on

rapid wind
#

Running out of keybinds haha

#

i opened one up for my future iron grenade lol

sand raven
#

how many keybinds you use? the 36?

rapid wind
#

Well i have a red dragon gamepad and use a lot of them but let's face it at least for me not every single bind is going to be comfortable enough for something that you want to hit fast

verbal cobalt
#

So i'm losing Leader of the pack on every other power shift, is that normal? Is there a way to prevent that from happening via macro?

haughty siren
#

I just got 6 gold from deviate delight recipe in the barrens. Im level 14. Any items I can buy that would make me level faster?

dense bronze
#

Save it

#

If anything only buy cheap bags

#

12 slots should be quite cheap

#

(at AH, never buy bags from bag vendor)

bitter snow
#

As a druid, just save it. You have great early scaling after you get bear form and cat form is king on 24

ivory gorge
#

So dont bother with cat form till 24?

noble forge
#

Cat is great asap

zinc fiber
#

cat good as soon as u get meow meow

cold moth
#

I've a druid question re: Ferocious Bite. Is it inefficient to use it with one combo point and if so, when is the optimal time to use it

#

Five points obviously but what I mean is, is there a time when it's better to just use Claw

noble forge
#

Well Just Look at the DMG each of the spells does but im Sure it depends on ranks and gear

cold moth
#

im still only level 34 so i suppose it doesnt matter much

#

I think I should respect at level 60 and drop that talent

noble forge
#

Because you arent a Cat you are a druid

#

And Interrupt can be nice to have

cold moth
#

If I've specced for fps isn't it logic to assume I'll spend most of my time in cat form

noble forge
#

What would you Take for extra dps?

cold moth
#

in terms of spec, not looked yet but wanted to confirm that for dps thats a wasted point

noble forge
#

No its not

#

Interrupts are good

#

And could use it to Kite in a pinch too or get to a Mob to taunt it quickly

#

Sure its Not amazing but its Not useless and you sacrifice nothing for it, on my Druid i dont have it specced yet either but No reason not to have it at 60

cold moth
#

I think you guys are maybe missing my question. I simply want to know in terms of spec whether that point is useful for someone who is going to play 99% cat. I spend very little time in bear form

#

How can it be considered useful if I'm not in that form much at all

noble forge
#

You are a druid Not a cat

#

You should use your spells you should heal If needed you should bear If needed and Innervate If needed

#

Especially while leveling

cold moth
#

OK, well I'll see what other opinions there are. Thanks for your 2p

noble forge
#

There are No options

#

Only bear Talents or increased stealth/Bear threat

#

Vanilla talent trees dont really have options

#

Feline swiftness for raiding/Dungeons is probably a worse Point too but Just nothing to get

#

Unless i miscounted i guess that could be moved into Imp thorns

cold moth
#
  1. Because I'll never use it?
noble forge
#

You should

cold moth
#

I've had it for several levels and it's never been used

noble forge
#

Yes you dont have rage on Shift yet

#

Thats why i dont have it either

cold moth
#

Anyway. There is nothing either of you have said that made me want to keep the point so as I said earlier, I'll hear some other opinions

noble forge
#

Remove feline swiftness If anything

#

That talent is actually useless for raiding

cold moth
#

bbiab

noble forge
#

Ye but If WE Talk raid/dungeon

#

And Imp thorns

#

Is decent

#

Thorns

#

Yeah and think i counted 5 for each roe

#

Row

#

So it could be doable

#

But what use does Imp stealth have

#

Unless you do some Invis runs

#

Id rather Take imp thorns or motw

#

If only Druid thats actually Not too bad

cold moth
#

ok

rapid wind
#

Do you pvp at all strider?

#

Ok so im stealthed at the black forge alone at 58 lol

#

No FR gear

#

any chance to take out this 56 elite with some kind of midian magic

#

20% 😦

coarse mica
#

Yeah that's not gonna end well for you

rapid wind
#

I think I would have won if i had any FR gear...

coarse mica
#

FR?

#

oh fire resist

#

yeh they hurt

#

Just do a BD clear blobshrug

chrome nova
#

BD?

cold moth
#

@rapid wind - Not yet

rapid wind
#

Well i don't particularly care its just that the group I wasin ended before we got there so i tried to do it on my own.. im sure next time im there ill have a full groupto makesure i get it

#

I got the MC attunement at least

#

@cold moth If you plan on pvping...learn about how and when to use bear, feral charge is critical... you will get destroyed withtout a gap closer..

#

learned so much over the last few weeks about it all

cold moth
#

pve

#

so the skill doesnt really have that much use at all since I mostly solo

rapid wind
#

are you on a pvp or pve server?

cold moth
#

pve

rapid wind
#

oh

#

well then you are golden if it doesn't matter to you

cold moth
#

My original question was where better I could spend that point

#

to make a slightly altered talent tree

rapid wind
#

But like these guys are saying, you might want to interrupt a mob fast you might want to tank a few to live, etc...

cold moth
#

I can see the application

rapid wind
#

I would be hard pressed to suggest a feral charge swap to any other talent honestly at this point

cold moth
#

OK

#

Even for pve?

rapid wind
#

it saves my ass in pve also πŸ™‚ a lot of mobs heal to full you can when you see them start to cast back up or strafe a bit over and then charge once you have a bit of distance

#

You can bind the ability to "any" of your melee abilities in a macro

#

Since it will only activate if you are at range (and same for the melee ability)

#

i have it on my taunt button and my maul button so if im at range i will charge and if im in melee i will do those abilities

#

saves a keybind πŸ™‚

cold moth
#

cut and paste that macro would you please?

rapid wind
#

Though I would also suggest having it set up so when you whack the keyboard it also shifts you to bear first

#

sure

#

one sec

#

/stand
/dismount
/cancelform [@target.harm,noform:1/3/5]
/cast [noform:1/3] Dire Bear Form
/cast [noform:1/3] Bear Form
/startattack
/cast feral charge
/cast [form:3] Claw
/cast [form:1] Maul

#

So what this will do will put you into bear if not in cat or bear

#

will charge if at range

#

will claw if in cat form, maul in melee if in bear form

#

You can remove the cat form from cancelform (3) and the claw if you dont want to share keybinds

cold moth
#

I'm going to test it, two secs

#

What would I edit to include travel form?

rapid wind
#

Cool πŸ™‚

#

So that it won't activate if in travel form ?

cold moth
#

No matter, I'll test this first

#

I don't think that's going to be especially useful for me but thanks for sharing anyway

#

I'd be interested to know what other macros you use tho

rapid wind
#

glad to help πŸ™‚

#

So many... what did you need to do. I assume you already have powershift macros? When you heal you have ones that remove your form right ?

cold moth
#

I find I have a shortage of keys

#

and I have 3 keys to switch between forms

#

4 keys, i use middle MB for cat

#

Anything to handle this more smoothly. I'd simply as which macros make life easier

rapid wind
#

Well having ones for each form is great. I have mouse up down for bear / cat and then shift of those two for a power shift

#

I have macros for all casted spells as well so i can leave the forms so i don't have to do it manually

#

I also use help/harm macros for things like abolish poison, healing spells, so for instance my moonfire / rejuv will activate depending on if my mouseover/target is a good or bad guy

#

/stand
/dismount
/cancelform [@target,exists,noform:5][@mouseover,exists,noform:5]
/cast [@mouseover,help]Rejuvenation;[@mouseover,harm]Moonfire;[help]Rejuvenation;Moonfire

#

Not everyone likes those though...

#

But it sure saves keybinds πŸ™‚

#

I have separate binds for my own sellf heals and stuff as well

#

And although not practiced have one set up for @party1 since there is no focus targets inclassic

cold moth
#

Maybe I should be shift-click more often

#

might take some getting used ot

rapid wind
#

you could change @party1 to your buddy'sname also

#

to make it easier

#

try to consolidate so that your shift/ctrls are like relative to your spells

#

for me ctrl R is self healing touch, while R is my mouseovertarget macro for it

#

One of the challenges classic has is you can't cast inside a form.... you have to leave it so I had to make some adjustments since I can't use my help / harm macros easily if im in a form and need to cast a spell it's messy

cold moth
#

ok well for the moment I think I'll just it the way it is. I think I'd need a deper understanding of those macros to use them properly

#

deeper*

#

but interesting reading nonetheless

#

brb

rapid wind
#

I didnt try it

#

Would have been an idea though

#

I almost beat it

#

but got smashed downheard near the end lol

#

yeah not allowed inside

#

or you mean charge

cold moth
#

What's daft is that 'moon' fire is

rapid wind
#

Strider do't tell me you don't use moonfire at all

#

molten core enabled rofl

cold moth
#

If the target is tough I drop a faerie fire and moonfire before shifting

rapid wind
#

yes you consolidate your shifts

cold moth
#

but most of the time i dont bother

rapid wind
#

should beusing feral version no mana no required caster form

cold moth
#

l34

rapid wind
#

like you wanna rejuv into a MF/IS if you can spare the mana a lot of my stuff is also pvp related lol

cold moth
#

sorry 35

rapid wind
#

maybe as well just be a rogue haha

cold moth
#

You keep banging on about this, I prefer to play most of my time in cat form, it doesn't mean I do it 100% and your insitence on repeatedly mentioning it is only serving to irritate now tbh

#

I got it the first time

rapid wind
#

sorry brah

cold moth
#

Not you

#

I do appreciate the help though but yeah, I get it. Druids are flexible, use that advantage. I'm not an idiot πŸ™‚

#

well not a complete one, anyway

rapid wind
#

well tried to solo the two 48 elites at the entrance of brd and got owned lol zomg

cold moth
#

What level are you

rapid wind
#

58

#

sameas you

#

i dont have great gear though

cold moth
#

Someone mentioned that in cat form I should be using claw like 95% of the time. Do you not throw in Tigers Fury, Rake or Shred?

rapid wind
#

you can only shred from behind

cold moth
#

Sorry, I meant Rip instead of shred

rapid wind
#

so do that when you can but be smart if you can't shred due to energy restrictions claw or finish

#

Depends on if you aer soloing or in dungeons

cold moth
#

makes sense

#

rip would be better for any long fight, logicallyu

#

-u

rapid wind
#

you need to like analyze each fight with a few things. How long will it last? am I going to dodge the melee swing or just tank it, and then if its getting near dying you wanna dump your CP since they don't transfer

#

you can work to set up a beautiful rip but if the mob dies before you can use it.. FAILURE, shoulda FBed it off or used a shittier rip

cold moth
#

cp?

#

oh kj

rapid wind
#

yeah

cold moth
#

make sense, will use ferocious bite and rip on long fights

#

how much do you use rake?

#

oh k

rapid wind
#

also stops bandaging and stuff i do believe

#

@inner thorn can you send me your updated BIS List ?

cold moth
#

Does it make me a bad person that I'm sad I can't skin trolls ? πŸ™‚

rapid wind
#

oh you are healing?

#

haha makes sense now

cold moth
#

Any general tips for pve for druid in classic at level 35

#

I will start moonfire more often before shifting to cat

tall belfry
#

Does "increases healing done by spells and effects by up to <amount>" apply to frenzy regen?

remote lance
#

No

willow escarp
#

@cold moth What mouseover macros are you using? I have one for Faerie Fire (Feral) and it still clears my combo points if I use it on a new target

rapid wind
#

It's a harmful spell so it would.

willow escarp
#

Also - thanks for the BiS list, good stuff

rapid wind
#

I believe he's saying that if you mouseover without targeting (target swap) and cast a spell it won't erase your CP

willow escarp
#

Right - I just haven't been able to get that to work. I'll need to check if it would work with a healing spell, but it doesn't seem to work with Faerie Fire (Feral). If I target MOB A and have 3 CP, then mouseover MOB B and cast Faerie Fire (Feral), it resets my CP (I think? admittedly been awhile since I tried but I think I stopped doing it because it kept resetting)

#

Also, I hate that if I loot something it resets my CP πŸ™„ I can't help myself!

rapid wind
#

Pretty sure even withmouseovers yougonna reset your CP with a harmful spell

willow escarp
#

got it

#

that makes sense

#

That makes sense though - and definitely still valuable to be able to heal without losing CP. Particularly for cure poison/curse

rapid wind
#

Yeah but one of the classic issues is that decision at least if you are feral tank/dps is if it's worth it cuz of the massive amount of mana it's going to cost for that one spell πŸ™‚

sand raven
#

@cold moth wait that works? If you mouseover rake another target it won't drop CP from your current??

#

nvm just read stuff

rapid wind
#

I would never disagree with that however an improperly timed switch out and not able to go back into bear... .. dum dum dum πŸ™‚ but yeah which is why you need to make some solid choices AND always carry a mana pot πŸ™‚

sand raven
#

i heal sometimes

#

depends on a lot of things

#

if the group is low on mana i'll dump all my rage at the end of the fight & hop out of bear to heal / rebuff

#

but usually i'm looking to bank a ton of rage to swipe spam the next pull

rapid wind
#

Trying to solo to get back to the guy in BRD prison but tought od o those dogs see invis

mental storm
#

Can anyone recommend how I should be getting gear as a feral Druid?
Currently 60. Should I just be running Strat, Shcholmance, and BRS till I get all my drops?

rapid wind
#

it's hard to answer that as there are a lot of ways to play that ; ifyou shift more or like to do that you will need more "int" than say a strider who likes to always stay in cat form even if he's getting lit up πŸ™‚ haha

mental storm
#

But generally in dungeons you're not gonna be switching a lot are you? people want you to stay in 1 form, either tank or heaals or DPS

#

unless it s a boss fight, you may want to switch to get the furor bonus

rapid wind
#

I like to switch and do well finding opportune times to dot. As long as I am effective; I don't care what people want πŸ™‚

#

so while tanking or dpsing i probably have a few more int pieces πŸ™‚

#

but at some point you can do a search and a feral tank high armor set, etc I believe flash has posted his stuff for int and it icludes that scroll back look for the excel files

mental storm
#

whasts an addon that tracks your energyh

sudden estuary
#

anyone have a mark target SKULL when you faerie fire it macro?

rapid wind
#

@mental storm How do you want it tracked by number or via like a "bar" ? Both can be done in WA or through most bar mods..

brittle crater
#

as feral, do you need to level weapon skills to be able to hit?

vague iris
#

Nope

#

Only in caster Form

rapid wind
#

You still want to level up your weapon skills

#

If you ever end up out of form no mana, still wanna be able to weedwhack someone to death πŸ™‚

ivory gorge
#

Start combat at lvl 21 with Moonfire or Faerie fire into Cat or Bear? Questing

#

or just cat form max energy

ivory gorge
#

This is without Furor

little wigeon
#

Definitely get furor immediately

ivory gorge
#

And then do the Faerie into Cat form opener?

chrome nova
#

Definitely get 30% movement speed in cat form immediately

rapid wind
#

@cold moth about to get NS... do you use it mainly for emerg heals or roots... and i guess willneed toset up some macros for alone, and instant root/instant heal

rapid wind
#

yeah

#

im going to practice first i suppose

#

so healing touch... BTW i am using rank 4 and rank 8 of those so far

rapid wind
#

I remember this now... πŸ™‚ You can be moving a bit and it wont instant cast the heal, so if you want to just use NS just move a bit and it wont and then you can cast whatever spell... if you just stop for a second it will do both. I am happy with that πŸ™‚

noble forge
#

Furor does Not really seem WΓΆrth early on at all

remote lance
#

Furor should be your last 5 points unless you want to spec into 0 30 21 early, which itself is questionable if you mostly solo

rapid wind
#

Depends on how often you shift and if you pair it with a wolfshead helm πŸ™‚

remote lance
#

Wolfsheads value doesnt change with or without furor. The benefit of furor is the same

rapid wind
#

Well it's personal preference i like the extra energy and rage ...

remote lance
#

Agreed on how often you change of course but I'm skeptical it beats out ooc or hotw

#

I'm not going to debate "personal preference"

rapid wind
#

I can bash someone who jumps me or charge

#

can do a power shift and do the other immediately if required but I get what you are saying from a leveling efficiency perspective only might not be "optimal"

remote lance
#

I dont think the difference is big or even noticeable. The utility to charge immediately is nice but only if you dont have a wolfshead since that 5 rage is provided there

#

And needing 5 points to be completely reliable is kind of annoying

sick merlin
#

I could never pvp without furor especially if I'm hotw resto

rapid wind
#

I wish there was a way to put a conditional in a macro to not cancelform if you "can't" cast a spell... higher level version or whatever

#

guess its not gonna happen though lol

noble forge
#

@sick merlin obviously furor is real nice for pvp and high level pve but during leveling I kinda have to use my mana for other stuff besides some fairly low dps gain

uneven yew
#

I am rerolling druid in classic... any good resources for macros or should i just hit up wowhead guides?

maiden current
#

This is what I used for macros

uneven yew
#

awesome! I will check them out when i get home

rapid wind
#

I use a lot from there, with my own improvements and additions πŸ˜‰

remote lance
#

the real vanilla macro system is ridiculously powerful

#

so in terms of macro system, it is legit notmuvanilla

mental crystal
#

imagine boomers complaining that the game doesn't play itself smug

uneven yew
#

need all the help i can get

#

(see avatar)

remote lance
#

we killed patchwerk without a single mana pot back in vanilla because they just wrote a macro that only casted when certain conditions are met for healing spells and all healers just spammed that button

#

ended the fight with plenty of mana and had like 5% overheal, it was glorious

mental crystal
#

lmfao

remote lance
#

they honestly should have kept the old macro system in, who cares if people wrote 40 bots to raid? If anything that is actually way more entertaining than people getting surprised that people in greens can easily clear MC

high echo
#

Quick q, rogues have always eluded me in PvP. What do you guys do against a rogue who smacks you over the head and costs you a few seconds in reaction times?

rapid wind
#

I will try to help a bit

#

First of all if you are fighting mobs and are low health or mana, there's a solid chance you will die... the best advice is to try to heal with a POT and get into bear form ASAP if that's the case and then start the regular process of timing his stuns and trying to get a feeling for when he's going to hit you with a big eviscerate

#

The strategy can change dramatically depending on if you get the opener OR you have room to run away and kite and stuff

#

If you are opening in proactive mode you can pop a free action or whatever (resto) and hit yourself with an abolish once you are dong your opener which would be great if its pounce rake, or ravage rake, followed by NG on yourself as soon as he gets stuck you can pop out and abolish/rejuv. Taurens can war stomp / root also which is effective.

#

As soon as you are away from him even a bit you want to try to get a moonfire / insect swarm on him ; I will backtrack the most important thing in what you do is get him FFed ... it's even more important than abolish

#

if not room to kite you have to bear tank him and wait for openings...

high echo
#

For me, it’s usually a deep in mobs and down to maybe around half my health when a sap comes in. Was mentioning it to a friend about how that’s just kinda that and was told if I was basically a more flexibly Druid I could get out of that situation via bear form, bash and heal

rapid wind
#

ideal scenario he's got rake, a rip ff, mf, is all ticking and you managed to get him rooted and land a full regrowth rejuv and can get into bear form

#

its pretty much GG as he can't reset if you got FF on him...

solar island
#

quick q for low-lvl leveling feral druid but, 7 agi or 5str + 3agi? (I have two chests and deciding which to keep and which to vendor) I noticed on the stat bits limited as it is, the latter provides a lil dps boost, but the former gives some armor (and likely some crit that I can't see without an addon?)

Thank you

rapid wind
#

you can bash just be careful cuz 1) it seems to get dodged parried a lot

#

and if he's an orc

#

its going to be resisted a lot

#

bash then root then do the above is solid tactics

high echo
#

It does. And luckily my friends made me play horde so that’s never an issue

rapid wind
#

You also want to minimize your shifts

#

cuz its a shitload of mana

sick merlin
#

@noble forge I got it around 40 just because I got wolf's helm and powershifting was really fun.

rapid wind
#

When you get to about 30% or so I would prio getting an innervate offf or you are going to be oom and you know what that means against a rogue out of form.

high echo
#

Yeah that was my issue with him telling me to switch forms, heal and go back to cat. Super mana draining

rapid wind
#

Always carry Mana pots although in some cases, you won't havethatluxury

#

since if its a gank you might have popped the healing pot already

high echo
#

Yeah that’s my go to

rapid wind
#

Just gotta relax and try to make the best moves

#

As I mentioned if he's good and you are low ; chances are you will die. But if he sticks around, the advice is to go back rez, and get away to restealth and rebuff. You never want to fight a rogue without your buffs, thorns as you will just die again. I learned this the hard way... other classes are not as quite as punished as if we come back with no mana / health low no buffs...

#

I am still a newb but it's a lot of fun learning how to beat different classes in different situations πŸ™‚

#

@high echo i have a video where I make a lot of mistakes vs a rogue, but still manage to win πŸ™‚ but every mistake is something you take something from

sick merlin
#

Also don't try go head to head vs rogue in cat form you'll most likely lose.

rapid wind
#

100% agreed lol

#

actually the ONLY time you will be in cat form vs a rogue is if you can open.. at least that's my opinion so far

sick merlin
#

Yeah

#

Opener rake rip

#

Then cheetah away and root or go bear

rapid wind
#

as soon as there is separate try to get MF, IS, rejuv; FF should be up before he has a chance to react...

sick merlin
#

Is blind considered a poison in classic?

#

You can pre cast abolish if you're meet and predict blind

#

Leet*

high echo
#

And yeah I make a lot of mistakes, but Druid is such an infrequently played class that I never wanna be the shitty Druid people only group with because I’m on a low pop realm

#

So I’m always trying to be less shitty

sick merlin
#

Just comes with practice the more you world pvp

#

The better you'll get

#

And need macros

#

Or it's very annoying

#

Dueling helps a lot too

#

If you have time

high echo
#

This is the first time in all my years of Druid I’ve even used macros

#

So it’s already a vast improvement to me

sick merlin
#

Honestly I like running away from people even more

#

It's always fun getting away when people try to gank you

rapid wind
#

Actually if you FF the guy blind isn't as bad and sometimes it gives you a bit of time to figure out your moves lol

#

Will have another video up in few minutes if you wanna check it out. I am not a great editor or PVPer but entertain myself doing them so be nice haha.

solid kiln
#

if I am following my druid around on my 50 priest to heal him and keep renew on, it is quicker to just go all in on bear talents compared to cat, right?

#

or is it quicker to pull fewer mobs and then bleed them with cat form and move on to the next mob?

rapid wind
#

I like to use cat and bear if i get too much or whatever

#

Cat is faster and it also depends on the level of the mobs you are fighting... its easier (but longer) to win in bear if they arehigher level

solid kiln
#

okay, yeah I was wondering if it would be faster to pull a bunch as bear (since I can heal myself with my other account)

sick merlin
#

If you can dot up the mobs as well

#

Might be faster to pull 2-3 at once

cloud grail
#

a good talents for world pvp?

rugged zenith
#

That one talent that make root less likely to be broken. Plus nature's grasp it's pretty strong.

#

I mean in retail right now my meta as balance pvp in BG is to use deep root and blow someone up with all cd's while they're still being rooted the whole time. Work 7 out of 10 times.

#

I am sure it's stronger in classic considering lack of way to remove cc

#

Plus, i soloed elite's with just root. Took hours to do so. But hey. Most of the time someone joins in and ask for invite lol

red solar
#

yes

meager falcon
#

Anyone know how to make it so i can see the healing I cast on someone?

rapid wind
#

like where ? which part nameplate frame ? just an indicator button ?

meager falcon
#

Just the number isnt showing up anywhere on the screen

#

can see it on myself but not party

rapid wind
#

Are you talking about scrolling text type stuff

#

or raid frames

meager falcon
#

yes but i have the options in the interface menu perfect...just cant see numbers on players

#

lot of ppl haveing this issue on the forms

rapid wind
#

hmm weird you could try another scrolling text mod

#

Well my new video is uploaded very short, though most people seem to not like them LOL πŸ™‚

meager falcon
#

yeah ill have to find a addon it looks like

rapid wind
#

so goblin or gnome engineer

covert rover
#

usually just about what you yourself prefer from each side

#

might just want to read through it .. tend to be gadget on each side you would want

noble forge
#

I think "optimal"

#

is gnome engineer

#

craft everything

#

and swap

#

may be other way around

#

cant remember

rapid wind
#

Yeah... true.. lol

#

you don't need the specialization once the items are created ?

noble forge
#

you need engineering only I believe

#

recommend reading up on it

rapid wind
#

lol.. I will

rapid wind
#

Anyone know if the trinkets from engineering will be usable in forms? I know the grenades are not but some trinkets actually work in forms just not sure on the engineering ones

near leaf
#

I'm not on PvP server this time around. But do droods still have a peace pact like back in the day?
Everyone else is fair game, but Druids don't harm Druids!

vague iris
#

does that exist?

remote lance
#

That was the etiquette back then yes

vague iris
#

cool

noble forge
#

never heard of that before

#

but im gonna cull the weak (druids)

snow finch
#

it's kinda similar to the hunters don't kill other hunters' tames

#

or if you see a rare you don't want, you contact all other hunters and ask them

#

the hunter one is mostly the only one retained currently in classic, the druid one's been lost in time

wheat hemlock
#

is there any way to get heal prediction in classic? having trouble setting up vuhdo, cant get it to work with heal prediction

whole swan
#

Think Luna unit frames had something like that

maiden current
#

@near leaf At least on my server no. Moonglade isnt even safe.

near leaf
#

😦

rapid wind
#

Actually most players don't attack me unless in groups, or way higher level. Mostly rogues and mages priests are the solo higher level attackers

viral yarrow
#

what does cat form damage scale off of again? only attack speed?

noble forge
#

no

#

only ap

#

and crit

#

and hit

#

I guess attack speed to some extend to if you mean stuff like crowd pummeler on use

viral yarrow
#

so weapon damage and swing speed affects it or no?

vague iris
#

no

#

your weapon got nothing to do with your dmg, it is only a statstick

#

except crowdpummeler which increases your meleespeed with the use

bitter kelp
#

Just tanked my first dungeon (rfc) & it was far from perfect, but my group was pretty helpful.

#

Any tanking tips???

noble forge
#

guess big tip is that losing threat is perfectly fine

#

and doing dungeons as an underleveled tank

#

is horrible

near leaf
#

Early dungeons are basically taunt what u can while DPS blow stuff up. It "evolves" as you level and you'll learn from experience.

It will feel bad until later levels, dont worry bout losing a mob or two here and there.

rapid wind
#

Still not sure what i want more first the gnome stuff or gobln engineering stuff . I know you can switch but don't wanna do that just yet πŸ™‚

bitter kelp
#

Yeah it felt pretty bad lol

lone bear
#

Warsong, kitty flag carrier, blasting chasers with discombobulator rays

rapid wind
#

Probably will go gnome

#

I think that the trinkets are useable in forms

lone bear
#

trinkets are, death ray takes 4 seconds to charge up tho

#

but ive heard of tasty 4k crits. only had 2k crits tho

#

might be a engi 300 thing tho

fallow folio
#

Anyone have any useful macros for a friendly Resto Druid that wants to raid?

zinc fiber
#

A good startingΒ ratioΒ is 25% protein, 55% carbs and 20% fat

remote lance
#

Disagree fuck carbs

cold moth
#

i love to eat protein because otherwise i couldn't eat MASSIVE sausages every morning for breakfast

rapid wind
#

Well hit 60, blows a ramsey style trumpet

shell rover
#

Anyone got a powershift macro for kitty DPS?

Also looking for a bear => no form (cast barkskin) => bear form if that's possible

rapid wind
#

@shell rover Probably better to have a cancelform barskin macro and then either a key to go back to bear or link to some of your "bear" abilities to shapeshift into that form if it's not there. Butthats just me

#

This is all I use

#

/cancelform
/cast cat form

#

for powershift

#

for me I cast barkskin it takes me out of bear if I am in it (Or any form for that matter) and then if i hit my maul button or my actual bear shift button, back into bear.

rapid wind
#

I could be wrong but I don't think you can do bear - bark - bear on one key since you would need to differentiate a form when casting bear/bark and you would want to do "both" in that one macro so it would crap out. Unfortunately it can't read past one of those based on if barkskin was on CD or whatever. Would be inefficient anyway I would think.

heady ingot
wheat hemlock
#

Thanks, will try that when im back from lectures

#

Seems like just what i was looking for

shell rover
#

thanks guys

rapid wind
#

Sure I've tweaked a ton of macros so have a lot of littletips and tricks

rapid wind
#

In a world pvp scenario, a hunter has such a huge edge over me. LOL. Just had one gank me but then i managed to turn it around and gank him back nicely with some adjustments though he has such an edge in terms of using the environment but it was a solid win for me; will be in mynext video haha

noble forge
#

Gotta Close the Gap asap

rapid wind
#

yeah lol or get out of range asap and restealth but what I mean is i was in the furbolg camp

#

he can essentially use the mobs against anyone with FD

#

I would have felt bad for him on the last one where he died he had his pet fighting the mob instead of me we kind of at a disadvantage also as he can scatter into a scare beast pretty easy

#

But he killed me once when Iwas fighting and then waited for me to rez in and shot me immediatly..... so when I actually prepared for a "real" fight and destroyed him it was pretty cool πŸ™‚

#

can admit he is the firsthunter fight I ever had so it's not like I have a lot to go on πŸ™‚

tall belfry
#

From what i gather (reading very old vanilla posts), Gnome Death ray trinket deals physical damage and does not miss. So it should do more damage vs low armor targets and should benefit from Physical Damage buffs.

cloud grail
#

how do I pvp with moonglow build

#

and why most of my bis have no intellect and favor too much healing spells instead

#

even spamming rank 3 ht with 250 healing power, i run out of mana around 10k-15k healing done

supple sand
#

Fellow bears, should I drop skinning and level enchanting for the smoking heart trinket?

fleet timber
#

Do I want gnomish or goblin engineering?

sand raven
#

iirc the only good thing from Goblin is goblin sapper charges & you don't need Goblin engie to use them, just make them

rapid wind
#

the helmet is good

#

But I do agree with COB that you probably get more out of gnome in the long run. A min maxer would probably get all the goblin stuff then unlearn do it all over and take gnome

#

though I doubt im gonna dot hat for now

noble forge
#

@rapid wind nah other way around pretty sure there is no gnomeish consumeable

#

just stuff which needs gnomeish to craft and need a one time

#

like deathray or MC cap

#

and go goblin to craft it without having to buy it in AH

true nova
#

Hey, does anyone else feel like shred isn't hitting for what it's supposed to? ie rank 4 says 225%+144, and my cat form 'damage' is base of 81 or 90 dps, so it should be hitting for like, 345, but on a same level target i'm only getting like ... 178?

sand raven
#

true nova
#

hmm i'll try something squishier than a turtle

Does strength do anything for catform

1str gives 2ap

zinc fiber
#

why is this channel called classic when none of you forgettable jabronis says anything memorable

cold moth
#

Hi , I have my druid as an alt in classic, what professions should I grab? Should I get 2 gathering professions, herb and alchemy or skinning and LW?

dense bronze
#

Depends what will give you the most value as support

noble forge
#

And how much you wanna optimize alts

#

Leatherworking/Tailor/alchrmy so have cooldowns they can use for Money If you have high enough Skill engineering is the best Profession in a vacuum

dense bronze
#

Will depend a lot on your server as well, how much things are farmed and how much they go for on AH

#

LW doesn't have a lot of high earners outside of devilsaur

noble forge
#

Ehh

#

Im making Bank with lw

#

Can vendor a Lot of stuff cause leather is cheap

dense bronze
#

It won't be forever

noble forge
#

Or disenchant

dense bronze
#

Hard to go wrong with herb/alch if you plan on raiding at least, even if you won't be able to sell a lot (which again depends heavily on your server) it can save you money and will keep on being useful all the way until the end

#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

noble forge
#

But probably will normalize eventually thats true

tall belfry
#

imo lvl level enchant. get trinket. drop enchant lvl Gnome eng get exclusive bop drop it lvl it up again and end with goblin eng. or keep enchant and go eng as second. have an alt feed the raw mats.

noble forge
#

Well If Druid is an alt thats quite a Lot of investement

#

And more so a lvl 60 thing

lethal pendant
#

can i use mongoose elixir and a strength elixir? wowhead doesn't clarify too well on consumables

rapid wind
#

I believe there isn't a limit on consumables at least potions; not 100% sure on elixir though

dusky kraken
#

yo Guys, you think that Moonkin is in any way viable once you hit lvl 40? For leveling specific

#

or is it better to stay feral

#

have equip for both tho

remote lance
#

1 flask plus as many elixir as you want

sick crown
#

anyone has a pawn string for cat for me?

noble forge
#

@dusky kraken nope

fading panther
#

Hey friends. Is there a feral bear leveling spec? what about tanking for dungeons? how important are threat talents for tanking leveling up?

nimble kestrel
#

if you're not a god gamer or don't have good gear for your level I would suggest the threat talents

#

i wouldn't take furor until you have feral charge

#

besides that I feel like it's pretty self explanatory going through the feral tree

crude hawk
#

what's the druid raid healing "niche" for Classic? I'm having trouble figuring it out. If I spam rejuv I go oom super fast. Is it basically just downranked HTs and hope not to get sniped?

nimble kestrel
#

rejuv only tanks healing touch spam like a yeetbot

crude hawk
#

oy well now I need 8pc T2 so I can keep the other druids from sniping my tank rejuvs too, then

nimble kestrel
#

there is a regrowth build but i don't think it's good yet

#

rejuv is good when you know there's incoming damage though

crude hawk
#

would imp regrowth be wasted talent points until then?

smoky sparrow
#

druid healing is basically rank 4 HT

#

Rejuv isn't worth the mana and only useful in situations where either you don't need the mana or can drink (dungeons) or there's huge damage on tank inc (maexxna for example)

sweet tangle
humble garden
#

Hey all got a quick question. Is enchanting basically necessary as bear? Since Heart of the Mountain is so good for it?

sand raven
#

no

#

it's a single item that you're only going to have for a while

whole swan
#

You can just take enchanting at one point, make the trinket and unlearn it

rapid wind
#

I did it

#

And it wasn't so bad though I figure that as time goes by it will get more expensive

drifting spade
#

ey bois

#

Is there any macro which stealths you from mount?

#

I tried #showtooltip prowl

/dismount

/cancelform

/cast Cat Form

/cast Prowl

warm portal
#

I don't think so. I think the dismount counts as a spell and will exit the macro

#

you have to hit it twice

drifting spade
#

I'm p much asking for a friend, I have a macro on classic which works exactly how I want it to, IE press it once but I don't have a sub rn so I can't check

warm portal
#

I am using pretty much the macro that you show (/stand/dismount/cancelform [noform:3]/cast [noform:3]Cat Form/cast !prowl) It does not take me right from mount to prowl. If i am not mounted it does.

drifting spade
#

hmm

#

can you try it in game but rather than /dismount

#

use

#

/use [mount name]

#

without the [] and make sure you shift click the mount name into the macro like you wouild a spell

warm portal
#

nope - still just dismount

#

and prevents second click from going into prowl

drifting spade
#

Damn, I really wish I had a sub

#

Maybe it's an addon I have

#

But I don't even know if there's any working dismount addons

#

I know for a fact I only have to hit mines once

#

Can you guys do my a big favour and install leatrix plus and enable the auto dismount in that and try it then?

#

@cold moth @warm portal O O

#

can you two try

warm portal
#

can't right now - i will later

drifting spade
#

/cancelaura mountname

#

I think I use a cancelaura for mines

fathom kayak
#

Does anyone have a link to a good /cancelform macro guide?

#

Trying to add the stances to get it to cancelform on second press without also going back in to form but it isn't working

low steeple
#

so like you're in bear and you want to hit the bear button to get out of bear?

fathom kayak
#

Yes

low steeple
#
/cast Bear Form(Shapeshift)```
#

let's you go from say cat to bear and if you're already in bear will just drop bear

fathom kayak
#

Ok but it doesn't let you in a single press go from cat to bear or bear to cat

low steeple
#

it did for me

warm portal
#

/cancelform will take you out of cat and the cast for bearform will take you there

low steeple
#

yeah I just checked.. if I do one for cat form and one for bear form, it'll switch between the two without going humanoid first

fathom kayak
#

Is it /cast Cat Form(Shapeshift) for the cat macro?

low steeple
#

and if I'm already in the form I'm hitting the macro for, it drops the form

#

yeah

#

and noform:3

fathom kayak
#

Oh I'm dense

warm portal
#

you can also put a use potion in there and it will also use and go right into form. saved my ass a lot with healing potion

fathom kayak
#

It's the noform thing I didn't change

low steeple
#

XD

#

yeah the number has to match the form you're making the macro for

#

form numbers go from 1-5, left to right on the form bar

fathom kayak
#

It is working perfectly now πŸ˜„

#

Ok that helps thank you!

low steeple
#

np happy ot help =D
