Druid roles in EJ - Page 3

I wish I could do 300 DPS :(. I am luckily to get 200 consistently.

Graham · 10/26/05, 8:04 PM

Eh, so with that said then what we should be building for is 300DPS with constant cowering and having the equipment to have good mana pool to shift out and heal.

Also, I'm not sure about druids not having a aggro lowering effect in cat. There's a druid in a decent guild who was managing #4 on his MC clear DM (using cower CONSTANTLY) and shifting out to moonfire once whenever out of energy, and he wasn't complaining about stealing aggro.

Is it possible we've missed it?

I've also read a few threads on the wow druid forums where people have stated they pulled aggro on vael in cat form even though they did quite a bit less damage than the rogues.

I suppose it's possible that the rogues in question used vanish, but it seems like cat form doesn't have the -20% threat reduction.

Vanish makes a huge difference in quick fast dps fights like vael though.

Cat form definitely does not.

I suspect we'll see a lot of respeccing back to heavier healing builds among many classes, including shamans who have gone more intoi Elemental talents lately, once A'Q comes out.

My new elemental spec has 30 points in restoration!

Hey, tonight one of our feral druids almost cracked the top 25 on DM! Actually Chupid did beat me on Flamegor in both damage and healing :huh:

A few cool points about last night:
A: Flamegor - I was in the DM spot above Fjord, having half my DPS gear on. Cardrian was in the spot above me. How? WANDING. :boggle:
B: Warlocks suck and hate me :(
C: In the first 5 or so pulls when I DIDN'T die every pull, I was in the top 15.

This evening, I'm going to drop 3/3 improved rejuv and pick up 3/5 subtlety. Even with a 30g respec, I figure I'll save myself an average of 5g in repair costs on every raid.

Graham · 10/27/05, 11:10 AM

Oh kaubel, and the next time the shades all beeline for you I will say I told you so.

For Horde, my main concern is that a druid that does a viable amount of DPS will have serious aggro problems.

Due to our lack of Blessing of Salvation, this issue is very very overt.

Last night a feral druid took aggro on onyxia, and had to tank her in bear form.

...

Through a swipe and a fear.

Overfriendly shades are the least of my concerns. It's the freaking lab that's running up my repair bill.

I never had imp rejuv before 1.8 anyway, so piss on that particular talent. I don't need it.
