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 […]

I had a chance to try out the “tactic” I mentioned in my previous post, and I’m even more confused now. 
As we remember when we first got flight form, you cannot cast flight form while in combat.  So when I re-tested my theory after one of the Kaliri aggro’d on me, I simply fell to […]

Now that I’m getting back into Amanna, I’m trying to do the few dailies I have on a more regular basis.  So this afternoon, I headed out to Skettis to bomb me some eggs.  Of course, you can’t do that without getting a couple Monstrous Kaliri on your tail.  Elune, are they annoying!!!  Especially so […]

Want a Badge of Tenacity but just not sure where to start?  Figured out you need to complete something called the “Shartuul Event” but keep getting killed.  Amanna (via Slipslappy) to the rescue!
 I’m never sure if you all read the comments to my posts, or simply the posts themselves.  But embedded deep within the comments […]

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 […]

So my WoW weekend was pretty boring - lots of real life stuff got in the way of playing much and when I did it was mostly circling The Blasted Lands looking for Thorium Veins and skinning Helboars!  I’ve got my mining around 280 and skinning is at 275, so I’ll be back in Outland […]

WoW Insider recently reported on some research a player named Zyph posted in the forums.  Basically Zyph wrote a program to pull around 6,600 profile names off Allakhazam, look them up on The Armory, and collect talent point distribution stats.  In particular, Zyph first grabbed some percentages on how many players in each class specialized […]

Okay, no earth-shattering revelations; no blinding flashes of inspiration; but lots of good suggestions for staying alive and increasing your effectiveness as a Druid.
seansflow reminded us that there are lots of great add-ons and mods to help us do our job.  We both agree that the add-on that should be at the top of every […]

I remember a long time ago I was in an instance with a PUG and I noticed a little gleam every once in a while on the end of one of the warrior’s weapons.  Kind of like that little white starburst the toothpaste commercials show on your teeth.  Anyway, at the time I thought it […]

Okay, I had an afternoon meeting and got out of work a little early today.  So I’m relaxing at my local bookstore and thought I had enough time to shoot off a quick post about Attack Power (AP).  I had a lot of great comments on my previous post Some thoughts on feral forms.  I […]

We all know that us druids are somewhat gear-dependant; casters like Intellect and Spirit, Healers like plusses to healing and mp5, bears like armor, defense, stamina and strength, and cats like agility and strength.  Like a lot of folks, I use an add-on to manage my different outfits and help auto-switch between them.  (I happen […]

My guild is currently alternating between ZG and AQ20 for instance / raid runs.  Every once in a while an Onyxia run will get thrown in.  I just noticed on our schedule that our guild leader has added some battleground runs into the schedule due to the great PvP rewards that are out there and […]

I’m not implying us Druids are stupid, but I’ve long wished for a simple explanation of the effect of various attribute increases on my abilities.  With us Druids being able to perform in so many roles, it becomes a bit more complicated for us to evaluate whether we want that new piece of gear that […]
