How about we update our profile then?

Original Post:

Ocyr, if you're looking at my Ravenmoon character, that character hasn't been touched since last April/March, not for raiding anyway, it is more a forum character than anything. I have other druids, and other characters too, the gear that is equipped on the character is there for Aesthetic purposes, so I wouldn't start drawing conclusions about me based on the character I signed up to this forums with. I stopped playing alliance seriously over a year ago. Judging by reply, you seem to feel it is acceptable for a dps caster to gem up for mana regen rather than for dps, also to gear for regen than dps. ANy caster can gear for regen and will generate a lot more mana to the extent they don't need half of what they have. We need dps, and we need enough mana regen to use our spells.

I am not a warlock, I want a more exciting balance druid, more fun, more versatile in playstyle, one that is fully utilising it's class or needs to, to shine. Not enough mana is stopping us from having that variation that is more fun and from outputting higher dps. Not using our such a huge swathe of our core abilities in the feral school makes the class less exciting. We are all excited about what balance is getting for the WotLK, you are not excited, and you seem jealous, which is why any suggestion for more is been attacked with such venom.

Pointing out how an unused character isn't gemmed up or not in order to validate or disprove my points of view is meaningless.

I have presented in my post what every other class has, I have not made judgement on them, just concluded what I have observed. Of all the dps casters, the only one I haven't played at high end level is a warlock. But off course Ocyr, you no better, whether the balance druid has spirit based mana regen and the shaman does not, is not really important to this arguement.

You are not getting it that the balance druid needs more. You don't want to agree I suspect because you have some "i don't want another class to be buffed or become as good as mine" mentality, look at your earlier rant.

The bottom line is that we struggle for mana, and barely have enough, and I am not alone in feeling this. In my other characters I can pull off a healthy efficient dps cycle, not max dps, but a cycle in most fights. In the mana intensive one, we are all relegated to the cheapest spell. The thing is, this is every fight for the balance druid.

You're not getting it, we need more help with mana, if you don't like that i've gone through every dps caster's talent tree and trainable spells and listed what they have, so be it, you made a judgement on my motive and my presentation, all I said was that the other classes have more mana regen available to them then presented what was available in WotLK, sure gear plays a part, but ToL no longer needs spirit for it's buff, and I can bet you balance druids are not going to have much different itemisation than shadow priests or elemental shaman if we are all going to be sharing gear with healers, then when you count the effects of all the other mana regen/conservation talents the others have, in WotLK, we don't measure up, and I can assure you Innervate would not equal the effect of the others. You can translate that as other dps classes can afford a more exciting playstyle many more times.

So what is your arguement? I am angry with the world and don't know anything, because you've checked Ravenmoon's armoury? or because you don't think elemental shaman don't have the abilities I listed they have? Oh wait, I shouldn't have listed them? Especially when I told you I listed them, then gave their descriptions so you can evaluate for yourself. Frankly my assessment was unbiased because I merely listed what others had and drew one conclusion from it, I've looked at your analysis, and others have already pointed out many convenient omissions you have used in fuelling your rant. Want I do not appreciate is your obvious personal attack on me, you are insulting me, over a video game. Readers are intelligent they can read and judge for themselves, if no one responds to your rant from a more factual stand point, I would.

I am not wrong in that balance needs more mana generated, balance needs to use more of it's core class, in particular the feral school it doesn't use at all, and Balance could certainly do with this been done in a more exciting way. All this as much as anything in a video game can be "needed".

All those reasons are more than enough to warrant consideration and possibly even implementation of said presented ideas. If we all say we don't have enough mana regen to play better and to use our class better and in a more exciting way, and you say we do, I can only conclude you are privvy to some experience we are not
