"But you don't *look* Druish . . ." Feral Druids FTW!


The nice thing about WoW is that if you get tired of one class / race you can always try another. I got sick of the Blood Elf Paladin I played to 70, largely because once you get to 70, you become ltttle more than a band aid in plate mail. Nobody wants to play high level raids with a protection specialist (which I levelled to 70 as) or as a damage dealer because other classes do a better job in these roles). So, since I did not want to "just heal" and get blamed for dungeon wipe-outs, all I could do to get good gear for poor Chowndarr is play Player vs Player, which I detest.

So, I decided to try a Feral-specialist druid. Feral druids can heal (and often get to play band-aid in dungeons . . .) and they can do massive damage as shapeshifted stealth kitty-cats just like Assassination spec'd Rogues or "tank" like Rommel or Gurderian, better than a protection spec'd warrior in bear form. Like a paladin, shaman or priest, a druid can resurrect the dead, and like a mage or warlock they can do damage at a distance with spells. Unlike hunters, who needs a pet when you can shapeshift into an animal?

Not to mention that Rel is a handsome devil . . .

And, even better, with the 2.3 patch, it was quick getting to 54.

The current Elders song is teh roxxors. I've got it looping as Rel kicks butt in Felwood.
