So I'm Inheriting A Druid

[GenocideAlive]

I'm inheriting a L70 Druid with Tier 4 gear. Recommendations for entertainment?

I have an epic mount and a white tiger and all that jazz.

What should I do for fun?

[kongurous]

Gank the shit out of lowbies. Do instances you've never done. Mess with other players. Attempt to master the auction house.

Uh... that's about all you can do. Or, rather, all I can think of.

[Volcious]

OH he can.. and he WILL gank lowbies. I have a shadow priest, and hunter that will eb attending the slaughter of helpless innocents.

but it is only fun if you can guarentee that they take durability loss :)

[Anoiktos]

Druids are good for ganking just about any level, as you can usually get away without trouble (travel until you're out of combat, then fly up and you're good as gone). They're also good for running around buffing people.

If the T4 gear you're inheriting.. well, what *kind* of gear? Tank, healer, or caster?

[Volcious]

the t4 is tank gear, all the rest of his pre-t5 pieces are cat gear.

almost 18.5k hp, and 22k armour fully buffed.

:) gankage is upon the STV, and all of azeroth!

[Anoiktos]

Tank gear, eh? Go for flagrunning in WSG, with that kind of gear advantage, if you're horde you'll never lose, if you're alliance you'll just have to get an organized group. I reccomend Hellfire Peninsula for ganking, as it'll both give you honorable kills and level 60's have no opportunity to fight back against a 70 in tier5 (even if they did, they can't kill you fast enough for you not to get away). Stick to quest areas. If you're horde, Zangarmarsh is a nice place as well because the alliance have very single-location bases (the Broken camp there is very secluded)

[Maegtelluma]

Gank lowbies in redridge/stonetalon/stv. Never gets old.

[EvilEggCracker]

Meh - If I were you I'd make a new character. Levelling up the first time is great fun. Helps you learn your class and will introduce you to a lot of the aspects of WoW.

You can start with grinding honor from the Battlegrounds to increase your resillience which will decrease the chance of being critically hit, decreases the damage caused from a critical strike, and decreases the amount of damage taken from DoT spells and effects by a certain amount with each point in Resillence. And then once you have earned enough resillience and practice with the Druid, you can try your luck in the ranked arenas to push for the Merciless Gladiator set which can be purchased from the goblin arena gear vendor/s in Area 52.


Another thing you can do is gather people to make runs on Halaa or even raids on the opposite faction capital cities which also helps with keeping you entertained and active.

I'm already pretty much Revered or whatever the fuck it is. I'm one tier down from perfect in the whole honor system and I don't really care to get perfect. I'm fine with whatever it came with. Otherwise, I'm looking for entertainment, not to become Mr. Super Bad. Because let's face it: being Super Bad in WoW ends up being more of a description of your life than a description of your character.

That raiding factions thing sounds like money. I'm going to mos def do that noise.

Well, tier 4 kinda qualifies as Super Bad already. If I were you I'd start kicking some ass in PvP. You could do Arena, that's fun. And after a while, you might even upgrade your Super Bad character in the process. The rewards are great. Arena feels less like a grind than instances, it's fun and quick. Battlegrounds ain't bad either, and your tank druid would kick ass in Warsong Gulch.

Destroy the crossroad,some lvl ?? idiot broke in and started killing players.2 lvl 45 - 47 guys couldnt kill him,he also killed me 4 times :(

If you're going for fun without having to do a serious time commitment, find yourself a decent PvP guild and then go do some BGs. Once you've acclamated yourself to the way druids play, go ahead and do some arenas.

On a side note (and depending on your battlegroup), even if you're in T4 you're going to get your ass handed to you, and quickly, if you don't have ANY pvp gear with resilience. I'd do a bunch of battlegrounds to get some of the epic lvl 70 pvp off-set pieces (bracers, boots, neck, belt, ring) off honor. While you're doing that, do your 10 games per week in arena, because no matter how bad you do, with time you'll start being able to afford season 2 gladiator pieces, which will greatly even the odds in arenas.

Edit: What's your character's name and what server are you on?

[WarInSerbia]

And if youre druid you have to cast EVERY spell you have just to have a certain kill,works on 70 levels too.

If you look below my name, you'll see my little WoW Chars pulldown.

I'm Hushedcrush, on Arthas.

I've got 20k honor points, and 1k arena points. I've got something in the order of 1k gold. I've been spending most of my time running AV and WG and farming Nether in between. I've been trying to put an Arena team together, but thus far the guy I got paired with is kind of dweeby. I don't know what his eq looks like, either, so I'm not entirely sure if I should change teams. I don't know much about arena, either. I just know I want those points, so I can buy that gear. I need that gear.

It's kind of funny being a Feral druid, though. You go Cat form, use a stun, hit them with an increase damage, then a bleed, then another stun. Then another bleed, switch to Druid form and cast Entangling Roots. Then swap to Bear, Rage, and Charge. Then strike a few times, then stun again.

My opponent has like a total of 2 seconds during this entire process to fight back. Short of a stun or fear, you're pretty much guaranteed dead. Otherwise I can shapeshift in and out to nullify immobilizing spells. How gay is that?

Oh and Scotty, ixnay on that "dedicate time" thing. I'm not even going to bother raiding, because I'm seriously in disbelief at how ridiculously time intensive that shit is. I'm not spending 4 hours to get some crapass gear that I don't need. The only raid I'd bother coming along for is SerpentShrine Caverns, but my guild isn't there yet.

[Anoiktos]

Especially for druids, most of T4 isn't optimal - frankly, the best druid gear is either PVP or quested for in shadowmoon.

This link (http://www.gurgleblaster.net/emmerald/Bear_Mitigation/Head.html) is a good guide for what to get for feral druids, with each pieces' contribution to your DPS and mitigation listed in order. Some are PVP, some are t4 or t5, some are crafted. the sets are not optimal for feral druids, even after Blizzard's rebalancing, though they do well enough for many things. This is because Blizzard's gear system for feral druids was more an afterthought than a planned system, like mage +dmg.

On the plus side, this means that for the most part, raiding is not something you need to do.

And aye, my experience with a druid in PVP is similar; people think they're easy to deal with, and then they die.

Arena is not good for druids, unfortunately - like rogues, they excel more in fights they can choose due to their ability to stealth.

Otherwise I can shapeshift in and out to nullify immobilizing spells. How gay is that?You're going to probably run into a BM hunter eventually (like me) who's immune to most of that, but I have to say it is VERY frustrating when the druid gets the jump and I'm dead before I can even use BW/TBW.

SSC is actually a shitload of fun, Lurker is a cool boss though assuming you're not tanking you better hope your guild's healers are making sure to keep you up, or his whirl will kill you.

Anyway, I digress. Arena's are an amazing amount of fun, especially since I assume your battlegroup isn't awful and has a lot of competition for you around your level of gearing, etc. However, for arena's I'd recommend a less feral-heavy build, and going with an "offensive healing" hybrid. The druid arena gear is set up REALLY well for this, and the feral talents (Heart of the Wild) make it easy to pull off even if you're not at a lot of +heals. If you're interested in trying it out, this spec (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/druid/talents.html?0000000000000000000005030301303221250 0000005553001500502000000) is kind of what you're looking for.

If you're working on a melee heavy team, or with a melee partner, it might be best to take the points out of Gift of Nature and Empowered Touch and throw them into Leader of the Pack, but any form of caster/healer ally and this spec is solid.

The reason I suggest it is that, from my experience, the only thing more frustrating than a feral druid who's running around and beating the crap out of me while only taking about 200-300 dmg from my shots is the druid that's also popping out of form and hotting himself to keep up with my damage. HOTW druids in arenas are a deadly foe, with a good mix of CC (lawl @ pallys not bubbling out of cyclone), damage, and healing.
