There's a trick to Loken's nova. If you tank him down by the globe, and simply run around the globe a short distance, you'll LoS the nova and take very little damage from the Aura thing.

I was talking about the Heroic version. I've just always found it easier to stay in for the novas. We lost a lot less people that way.
The nova would one-shot our druid healer, so that wasn't an option. He just couldnt turn around and get out in time. Running and coming back i'd only take like 2k dmg from the general aoe loken has so that wasnt bad.
Avoiding Nova is simple, there should be no need to take any damage from it, however pug groups tend to be full of retards, which leads to the same situation 4 times (Myself & healer downing him).
An accomplishment today, i found a rogue who almost does as much damage as me only using holy shield in a heroic instance today, i died inside when i saw his <800 dps and mine being nearly 2.5x better as a prot pally in the nexus.
Thursday got momma said, normal & heroic and a bunch of gear from naxx 25. Friday got Argent title.
just need to finish off my holydin gear then i might be able to find a group that can successfully down gluth in heroic mode.
Completed 8 man Naxx last night.
Artisan Flying yesterday, huzzah for being poor once again!
lvl64 druid!
After level 60 it slowed down a lot for obvious reasons, but still a decent pace. Getting 2 levels a day at least which is nice, I guess that's gonna slow to 1 level a day tomorrow or after that.
Been doing a lot of instances after I hit 50, the lvl50 ones were just with my lvl80 friend AOE raping things, the level60 ones have been legitimate. Trio'd Ramparts as Paladin, Druid, Warrior (lvl62/62/63) pretty much our exp static , that was really fun. Everything else we did with 4+ people (I did some ones that were ocean based in zangramarsh, that place was awesome).
I tried doing the Bloody Furnace one in a pickup when I was randomly asked, and it was pretty funny (the guys were too scared to pull anything). On a good note they complemented my healing, hoorah! I asked them why they were thanking me after almost every cure, and then they told me the nightmare stories of pickup healers
Anyway, here's my current gear I'm using.
The World of Warcraft Armory
Mostly int now , I think should be trying to 1:1 int spirit so I can restore as much as possible over time, but I barely run out of MP as it is in my exp static, and in the instances the only time things get a bit hairy is on bosses, but even then most of the time I have decent MP or pop a potion.
Having fun!
AFAIK, It should be Spellpower > Spirit/Int > Haste > Crit/mp5. I think once you start raiding you can get an assload of spirit with kings/talents/sockets, so spirit becomes better in the long run at that point.
Got Demise off Naxx last night. First Naxx for our little guild, and we had a few pugs so it took us 5 hours for 2 wings lol. Sooo many wipes, but we'll figure it out. If not, i got a group of skilled players here i can ask![]()
Been doing a slew of heroics, yay.
Did DTK and King Dredd dropped the Incisor Fragment (#6 top cat dps trinket right now, with 4 of the others being raid only drops), yay.
...I lose it to the prot warrior. /wrist

Hammer of the Astral Plane
mine~~~
only real upgrades I need now are freakin T7 shoulders and T7 pants
up to 1985 SP unbuffed, yeehawww.
tryin to build up a ret set now.
Got journey's end tonight, woo! :D also snagged a surge needle ring for 6500g (mad cheap considering horde side they were 12500 lol)
We almost downed 3d 25man sarth, but a healer had to leave :[ ah well next week
Got twilight vanquisher last night, puts us 3rd on horde side and since we started after WoTLK came out I think that's pretty good.
Got Cryptfiends Bite tonight and promptly enchanted it with berserking, now only if I had capped Polearm skill.
Healers are pretty rare after Lv 60, if near non existent, at least on pvp servers
You'll want to go feral for lvling to 80 though as it will be "less painfully slow" at 70->71 (exp gap goes from 400-500K tnl to 1,500K tnl)
Also for a quicker lvling method, unless you have like an 80 in the group or something, only do instances once after getting all the quests, as questing exp > instance exp by far (especially in wotlk areas)
As feral druid I think instance exping with a decent no wipe non stop pulling (I'm the tank, they all better keepup!) its average 240,000-280,000 exp an hour, questing exp (before I had epic flying) was about 380,000-440,000 exp an hour. (according to titanl panel anyway)
anyway as for my recent accomplishment... Lv77 and a half Druid + epic flying on sunday! (at 1am close enough t('-'t)
Hope to be 80 by tuesday (full naxx clear raid monday qq), which i might be considering i still got some dragonblight, grizzly hills to do which is easy mode if you can do it all in 1/4th the time flying.
oh and if anyone's wondering my specs a dps/tank semi-hybrid, since tanks are rare compared to dps
Hit 67, did crypts and stuff, got more gear etc!
I can't do feral gulk coz I am the healer in my staticI have a PLD who tanks mobs AOE that are higher than us, also a WAR doing AOEs, and I just dump cures on them both.
But yes we started questing much more and my goodness the exp (and gold) flows. I am now up to 833 gold which is funny since 3 days ago I found 2 gold too expensive to buy some reagents for my spells![]()
When leveling as feral, especially if you do it solo, it's definitely better to do it as a hybrid build. Take the 10% armor boost, survival instincts etc. You only really need to respec at 80 to either become tank or dps. I remember when I was like lvl 66 or 68 and was doing setthek halls, and a rogue said I had a shitty talent build since I didn't take the talent to reduce shred energy by 18. Considering I was only playing for 2 weeks, and you can't backstab solo, i called him a retard
Edit: Newest recent accomplishment -> After finishing raids last night, i wanted to play around with my new stick. I went from the flight point in dalaran, flew forward a bit and cancelled bird form (wanted to fall fast to the ground since it's faster than flying down, and bird form when close to the ground) I proceeded to fall into the little floating island about 5 feet away from the flight point and died lol. Was like 2 feet out of the flight point. best part? It's impossible to get your own corpse there, so I needed to explain it to my guild and get res'd
gulk mind posting a decent 70-80 spec for feral druid as I just hit 70?
I'd love to tank some instances on the way up, but being that I don't know how to play it really yet I gotta learn the tanking rotations.

Woooooot Sath 1drake down! Only a small casual guild so I'm happy as Larry.
I posted one to lv70 in the other thread. As I lvl higher I'd put points into other stuff like
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
thats what it would look like by 79
by 80 you'll need to make a choice if going straight feral or straight tank though as mixing both would suck in heroics. in either survivability tanking or doing any form of decent heroic dps
Finished all normal naxx achievements and got nerubian conqueror finally. Only hard achievements left for plagued drake are 6min maly, 3drake, and 8man maly/sarth(hardest part is finding a group for it).
