Had a run at Magister’s Terrace last night with my new guild.  We only got through the first two bosses though.  A late start, combined with my ventrilo client not connecting to their server, along with new content led to only getting the first two bosses down and stopping at midnight.
First impression though is it’s […]

I’ve consolidated a couple pages I had laid out when I moved the blog.  I just found I had too many pages with too many placeholders.  You know, that “I can’t publish it until it’s perfect and contains the sum total knowledge of the universe”.  Err, or something like that.
Anyway, you should now see a […]

In my first and second posts in this series, I gave you some thoughts on how to spend your first 40 talent points on a feral PvE build.  I’ve received some positive feedback, even given the basic nature of the overview.  I frankly had let this last post slide thinking it was too basic for […]

Big Butt Bear Blogger recently posted an overview of basic approach strategies, I think mostly for cat.  I can’t seem to find the exact post (if anyone can send me the link, I’ll update here), but it got a lot of good comments.  Nothing ground-breaking in the post, just good common sense advice and explanations, which […]

I was able to finish up a piece of my mini-site for enhancements research, so I figured I’d publish it before my week-long break and get some feedback.
You should see a new page listed at the top of the blog now - Buffing Up.  Click the link to get an overview of what I’m trying […]

In my first post in this series, I gave you some thoughts on how to spend your first 20 talent points on a feral PvE build.  I’ve received some positive feedback, especially on the increased survivability with Nature’s Focus.  Let me just repeat some key points to keep in mind as you read this series:

Remember […]

I’m on my way to Shatt to turn in The Second and Third Fragments after soloing the second fragment in The Steamvaults.  It really wasn’t that hard and with decent gear you should be able to do it to.
The stealth to the Arcane Container was the easy part.  Once you enter the instance, you’ll turn […]

I got to go on my first Shattered Halls run last night.  I was excited to go - I’d heard it was a good instance and I had a couple quests for completion inside.  It was also predominantly a guild run, so I was among friends.  I was a little nervous though, as I had […]

For all of you lower level Druids out there (if there still are any), I’m starting a 4 part series on building a feral druid from the ground up.  My pre-BC post “How to Build a Druid” still gets quite a few hits and it really needs replaced.  In fact, the talent build link in […]

I went on a run through The Shadow Labyrinth, or Shadow Labs, last night.  I had just got on and was looking for something to do.  A guild member was looking for dps help and I was looking to get my kitty some combat experience, so it was a fit.  The group came together pretty […]

First of all I want to apologize.  I haven’t posted a whole lot over the last couple of weeks.  I have a couple personal issues at the moment that are eating up a lot of my focus and energy.  Most of the traffic to this blog seems to be hits on my Bartender 3 overview […]

With the addition of Maim, druids in cat form now have three finishing moves to choose from: Maim, Ferocious Bite, and Rip.  While all three are similar in they scale with combo points and they do significantly more damage than a normal attack, they are all very distinct.  The wise druid will understand the differences […]

A couple of post ago, I wrote about how gear has specialized more for us Druids here in Outland, and how over time I ended up with 4 separate outfits to manage.  It actually wasn’t hard to manage them with Outfitter, but I was questioning how useful it was to have 4 separate outfits.  In […]

I hit 63 last night as I figured.  I was about 75% of the way there with plenty of quests in the log.
I started out by heading over to the Hewn Bog to collect my mushroom samples and clear out the encampment, at the request of nice Broken in Orebor Harborage.  I had just met […]

Well, I finally logged on and re-built Amanna.  I must say I didn’t miss the 2 or 3 days I didn’t play given all the furor in the forums, the rolling restarts, etc. etc.  It was kind of nice to spend a few nights on other pursuits and log back in to a (relatively) sane […]

The new talent trees have presented some real choices for us Druids I think.  I haven’t surfed the forums extensively, but enough to know there are some lively debates going on.
Things are somewhat clearer for me as I know I still want to play primarily feral.  I’ve got no interest in a Balance build, although […]
