What UI do you use/is good for druids? I'd like to get a compilation, because I think the blizzard ui is ugly. Something that isn't very big on the screen, but is really nice looking.

Can druids 29 twink, with damage comparable to any other classes? And do I really need to twink to play some WSG without getting ganked too many times?

The damage on a weapon doesnt matter when im in cat/bear form, right? So what weapon should I go for feral?

Should I go for Str or Agi? And if I go with one of those, should I go ALL out, with every piece of gear having that stat, or mix it up. If so, what 2 stats would be my main ones.

What professions should I take up? I don't have much money, and I'm a tauren. I can pick 2 gathering myself, but which other professions benefit the druid, and what would be the other profession to help that one out?

How often should I buy new armor?

And where should I quest/grind from 20+?

Remember, I just hit 20...So I'm not very far in the game. Thanks

1. try x-perl unit frames. lots of good stuff, including an energy bar regen timer built in and compatability for the druidbar mod.

2. yes they can twink, but no, the damage wont be comparable. you dont have any of the good cat form moves and bear isnt designed for dealing damage. a druid at 29 is best served in a support or flag-running role. in terms of twink hierarchy, druids rank the lowest in that bracket.

3. correct, weapon damage is irrelevant to a druid in cat or bear form. go for stuff with str, stam, and agi. stam priority if you plan on pvping of course.

4. tough call. stam is your priority as a pvper, with str and agi secondary for damage. as a druid youll need int as well, to cover the cost of shifting forms. stam first, str/agi tied for second, int after them (say maybe 20% of your total stats from armor should be from int, 50% from stam, 30% from str/agi as a suggestion).

5. leatherworking is a natural fit, but anything works save maybe smithing. engineering is real nice if you plan on pvping a lot, as it will give you some advantages that druids lack (such as ranged spell interrupts, or a non-magical root).

6. as often as you need too. generally you can go 3-5 levels before upgrading a piece, with some pieces lasting longer if hey provide certain unique benefits.

7. as a tauren, the barrens can work till 25 about. try stonetalon mts., parts of ashenvale, and parts of one thousand needles as well. you can even opt for hillsbrad if youre feeling brave or foolhardy (on a pvp server at least, pve is much safer).

1. there are others, bu x-perl provides a lot of flexbility to me. enough for me anyway. ive heard discord is a good one as well, but i have no experience with it personally.

2. its not so much a waste of time, just that rogues, warriors, hunters....pretty much everyone else does it BETTER in that bracket. druids dont even have a DD finisher at that point, and there are a number of weapons at 28-29 that are used by twinks to help them kickass and take names; weapons that are useless to a druid.

4. less so for pve, but it depends. in grouping, you dont need much, if any stam (but having some IS nice should you suddenly need to tank). for solo, yeah, you want stam, but not as skewed as if you were pvping. you can evenly spread your stats between str, stam and agi for pve solo. but for pvp, stam is king. every item you wear in pvp should be of the eagle (int/stam), of the bear (str/stam), of the monkey (agi/stam) or of stamina. for pve you can grab stuff of the tiger (str/agi) or of the gorilla (int/str) or the falcon (agi/int) for many of your slots.

edit: also, grabbing some spr stuff isnt a bad idea for solo pve, as it ups your mana regen in feral forms and can help you last longer between rest periods. you dont need a lot of it, maybe 10-15% of your stat total, but it helps. getting maybe 2-3 pieces of the boar (stam/spr) can satisfy your stam and spr needs at the same time and free the rest of your spots up for tiger or bear gear.
