Bone linked fetish would prolly be best or the on use ones from the 5mans. I can't imagine 59STR = 1.2k damage <_<;;

Who has Fangs of the Father? How do you track the Fury proc? Power Auras? Class timer bars? I'd hate to lose even 1GCD with the proc up so I'd want something in my face.

Also how do you spend the proc? evis/envenom x5, then refresh whatever needs refreshing on the 6th?

Code:

Version:4.23; b:0; anim1:4; g:0.898; icon:Spell_Shadow_Shadowfury; buffname:Fury of the Destroyer; r:0.9608; x:2; texture:113; alpha:0.52; mine:true; inVehicle:0; size:0.7; y:4; texmode:1; ismounted:0; timer.h:1.03; timer.Texture:OCR; timer.enabled:true; timer.cents:false; timer.Relative:CENTER; timer.y:-64; timer.x:-1; timer.UseOwnColor:true

Yes, powerauras. The best thing to do with the finishers is plainly use all of them without weaving anything in between. Evis on all or add a snd in if needed. Just make sure you use every one of them. Lots of times you can evis all of them.

You might want to change the texture I used. I found Jesus was a fitting thing to see when I got the proc, since I'm Jesus when it procs. Also I try to keep my UI color coordinated, and rogues are yellow, so yellow Jesus.

So what do you guys think I should main for Mists?

I played Lock and Rogue through cata, disliked having only one role (although my warrior alt I never played prot on). Our 10man group always has problems keeping healers present throughout patches, so I was going to roll a healer just so we had someone reliable there. Priest is out of the question. I have every class 80-85.

Paladin seems to have the best offspec being ret. I PVP a ton too and would probably be the healer that offspecs dps in raids. Is ret really any fun though? Seems to be a lot of waiting. With holy power I'm afraid it'll be too rogue-esque.
Shaman offspecs look shitty.
Druid offspecs, well fuck feral.

Need to find a fun healer. I'd much rather play a dps main but its so much easier finding dps. I don't think I'd level monk. I say I want multiple roles but then I don't play those other rolls since my offspec is always pvp based. Takes me forever to pick a class. Even if I stayed dps I wouldn't stay rogue and have no idea what I'd go.

Druid is looking quite interesting for MoP now, also has the possibility of rolling ranged dps, melee dps, or tank. That said, druid healing is generally the most complicated of the 5 healer specs in pve and has been consistently inferior in pvp for the entire expansion and most of wrath too.

**Boyiee** · 2012-04-20 15:44

The pvp part worries me a ton. Most RBG groups I run with want shamans discs and pally's. As for dps boomkin makes the dot cleaves at least.

**aurik** · 2012-04-20 15:56

In MoP, resto druids are slated to get a bunch of good ways to self-peel: wild charge, typhoon, ursol's vortex. And nature's swiftness should give us an instant 9 second cyclone every minute, unbelievably strong.

That should hopefully resolve the most major of our problems.

**BadKarma** · 2012-04-20 16:53

I find Disc priest to be a fun class to play. And I'm sure Shadow spec will continue to be a top tier dps

**Boyiee** · 2012-04-20 17:16

Sister is playing priest so I have to do another option lol.

I'm tempted to play a dps again, maybe a dk this time around or something, but I can't stand hoping that our healers will be reliable.

There is no fucking way a 9 second cyclone every minute makes it into live.

**aurik** · 2012-04-20 23:50

Maybe not, but I've heard that saying many times before and things have made it live anyway

Natures swiftness giving a 50% duration increase is insaaaaaane if it applies to cyclone, I wouldn't be surprised if that part of the talent gets scrapped.

Druids were very strong from what I remember in Wrath after Plague Strike was nerfed to no longer remove HoTs off them. Cataclysm has been a bitch slap to the entire spec in general in terms of pvp, enough where though I hated them in BC and WOTLK in Arena..I feel bad for people who play them in pvp and it doesn't bode well to me that a class can go an entire expansion completely fucked over in terms of PvP and never get a look from Blizzard, I mean Blizzard didn't even do their usual "Buff them to crazy high standards, nerf them to the ground, buff them to medicore, etc etc" method with druids, they just ignored them like they didn't exist.

Maybe it was just this expansion but things like that leave a sour taste.

**aurik** · 2012-04-21 10:33

Nah druids weren't particularly strong in any wrath season. They were playable in the later seasons (as opposed to the first season where you just could not beat a team with a decent DK, and btw that was every team), but still not as good as other healers.

**Meresgi** · 2012-04-21 11:18

Probably just from my perspective as a DK that I hated druids after I couldn't remove their HoTs lol.

**BadKarma** · 2012-04-21 11:25

Started playing my Blood DK again....jesus christ Normal modes are easy to tank.

**chazzyphizzle** · 2012-04-21 23:24

i just subbed after dicking around with a starter account for a week or so, anybody willing to take on a noob?

Edit: on shadowsong, but i don't know what kind of hassle switching servers is so it's a possibility

Yeah I think someone here said they tank some of the bosses as dps DK. Blood is retarded for those fights, feels like Ulduar all over again.

Not sure if you're on EU or US, but regardless, I understand you would not want to lose the work you done so far up 20 (free account cap) but to move a char would be an absolute waste of money as you can easily recover what you've worked for so far.

(for example, if you gathered up to 5 gold, which I think is a reasonable amount at 20, a quest at 80 gives you 20 gold)

Transferring a char across realm and even faction is maybe $20-$30 I think? Very expensive, and it's seperate (i.e. if you'r horde and someone here is alliance and on another realm that wants to take you on, you'd have to pay twice for it)

**chazzyphizzle** · 2012-04-22 12:37

fair enough. 10 gold is the cap on starter characters btw, pretty paltry.
