Guides, Walkthroughs & Resources

Some of the most popular content I’ve published on this site continue to be my original Bear and Cat gear lists, although the Kara attunement post has also been quite popular.  I’m not the only one publishing great content though - there are lots of other fine Druid bloggers out there in addition to our normal, research sites.

Here’s some of the best content I’ve come across, regardless of whether it’s here on this blog or somewhere else.  If you have a suggestion for an addition to this page, please leave me comment until I get a contact form up and running.  If I have linked to one of your articles and you would rather I didn’t, use the same contact method.
