Trojan · 25-05-2006 3:42pm #1

I just lost the last 5 months of my life... d'oh.

kayos · 25-05-2006 3:56pm

5 months? WTH? Thats not a problem.... try since release!

So any way what class did you roll?

Trojan · 25-05-2006 4:03pm

I held out for a couple months.. finally gave in just before 1.9.

I am druid... nelf style.

NeoSlicerZ · 25-05-2006 4:48pm

5 months, ... how about 11 months here...

Jim · 25-05-2006 5:40pm

I warned you.
Heed damn you, heed!

Is the other one still lvl11 after 6 months?

regi · 25-05-2006 10:25pm

HI TROJAN!

Welcome to the group. There's some coffee and oreos in the corner.

I kicked my habit though, I've been totally clean for a while now

Please don't offer Trojan coffee
he has a very addictive personality

Oh god another druid.... bet your feral and all.

Being Night Elf is unforgivable mate, honestly is... Next thing you'll say you have a female gnome alt with pink hair called candy, flossy, or some name ending in a "i", "y" or "ie".

For the Herd!!!

Trojan · 26-05-2006 10:56am

I need a coffee!!

Draco · 26-05-2006 10:58am

Damn them and their Warcrack.

Trojan · 26-05-2006 11:03am

Can't help the race I'm afraid, I wanted druid and Alliance (friends there), so I didn't have a choice.

But yes, I am quite feral, 0/30/21 (which rules in PvP)

dlofnep · 26-05-2006 12:58pm

Where did you lose it? I'll avenge you.

Trojan · 26-05-2006 1:33pm

Someone who took the "crack" literally.

Woden · 27-05-2006 12:54am

another twat with my warden staff! when will the insults end..

So Glad · 27-05-2006 1:01am

I have spent a few weeks now on WoW. Love the game so much but I knew what I was letting myself into. I kept on repeating in my head the possible social consiquences of buying this game but I have leveled it out quite well ie: leaving the house from time to time.

Although I'm still prone to sleepless nights of grinding.

I'm a level 37 Human Warrior by the name of (guess what?) Soglad.

mayordenis · 27-05-2006 1:06am

im dry about a month now,
every so often i get the urge especially around e3 with the whole announcments and what not,
but seriously it is possible to kick it.

nesf · 28-05-2006 1:41pm

Returned to it after a long break. Stopped playing in March '05 (got a job). Was L43. The average level was 23. Now everyone is L60 and there's noone to group with.... It's very odd... I remember when thick leather was 1g 30s a stack median!!

Now am focused on grinding out those last 15 levels. 2.5 down in the past week

Dustaz · 29-05-2006 10:54am

zomg Al plays wow?

Wonders will never cease. Im like bern, an addict since US release. welcome to the club al, its a neverending world of more more more.

Having said that, my pc is knackered atm and im going cold turkey.

Trojan · 29-05-2006 5:22pm

I know Lee, I know. Luckily for me I play a gimped class which has absolutely no scaleability post-60, so in just another few short months I'll be p!ssed off enough to quit.

Respec'd again last night, 13/33/5, tank spec. Doesn't have as much survivability in BG pvp, but does decent damage for 1-1.

Such lies!

If you put time into getting the right gear a druid can pretty much do everything the other classes can do.

All that sets it apart really from the rest is that it has no agro reducing ability (ala Fade which Preists have), it has no sunts (ala Rogues) and it has no real AE taunt (afaik, may be wrong).

Looking at the obvious they are slightly more gimped than preists or rogues but with the right kit you can out heal preists and out dps rogues, fact.

So Glad · 30-05-2006 12:58am

Tanks are amazing. I have a level 38 warrior and I have been mainly using duel wield and two handed weapons but recently I was told to tank and I used a very good shield I had in the bank. Needless to say I haven't died yet and I have done several runs of Scarlet Monastary and I am always asked to do instances. So cool.

Trojan · 30-05-2006 11:59am

I disagree, it's not lies. We can tank well, and heal very well. Other than that, we don't scale.

Epic any-other-class beats epic druid in pvp everytime (unless they're crap).
PvP ranked any-other-class beats pvp-ranked feral and balance druids (again with the disclaimers).

Druid epics are almost all +healing (some pathetic +dmg for balance druids).

6: Your initial cast and Regrowth ticks will increase the maximum health of your target by up to 50, stacking up to 7 times.
8: On Healing Touch critical hits, you regain 30% of the mana cost of the spell.

There is no decent feral gear at epic level - the one half-decent feral chest piece (pvp r13) is getting nerfed (though balance druids will be happier with it).
Anything that is suitable for feral has a queue of rogues lined up.

I can beat a non-epic rogue in my tank gear (and laugh at his backstab crits me for 400 through 12,000 armor), a non-epic warrior in my +int gear (kites), mage (kitty) and a non-epic hunter (sleep, root, dead-zone cast). Most others will own.

The problem is, when they get better gear which gives a constant improvement, the druid curve seriously drops away. As their gear scales all classes own druids.

All that said, I tanked Kurinnaxx yesterday and outdamaged the warriors, and the only problems we had was I had way too much aggro for them to pull him off me. So, we rock as tanks
