Boomkin or Bear?Follow

#1 Nov 04 2007 at 5:19 AM Rating: Decent
Ok so I'm 70 now and confused on where to go I REALLY want to be boomkin but everyone says Feral is the way to go if I'm not a healer.. was thinking I'd do balance but everyone has me confused.. can I get some skilled druids help from both sides of this argument?

That's be great to clear this up.

Yes, you're awfully confused.

Moonkin form you get from 30 talent points in the balance tree. You CANT heal as a moonkin, so I dunno what that's all about...

Feral is super for solo-ing. High armor, high attacks...good stuff. Many druids choose to be feral for that purpose.

Balance is great if you have a group that you work with on a regular basis (like me, I am more likely to be working with at least one other person than alone). High DPS, and once you get moonkin you're like a casting tank.

Resto is good if you work with a group that needs a healer. Druid healing spells when specc'd healing rival that of a preist's amd are in HUGE demand (as I'm sure you've seen on the LFM channel)

Lastly....do what you want to do! Don't let others dictate your gaming experience. I am personallt balance specc'd, and LOVE it. Good luck! :)

Thanks I love balance and will respec into it asap. Thank you so much for your response I'm going to pvp a lot and after playing a boomkin really quick in pvp i can plainly see that this is going to be very fun ^__^.

Thanks!

My druid is lvl 53 and I've been straight balance since about lvl 15. I can crank out pretty good DRS (usually right behind the rogue or mage in groups) and also solo with relatively no problem. With a couple +healing items, I can also easily heal instances. (I have only done through BRD, so i don't know about higher lvl instances). I also PVP. So, balance is great versatility. You can do pretty much anything, and that really helps you get into groups (dps or heal), and gives you a lot of choices of how to play. Feral would probably be better if you're going for a specific experience, but if you vary your play style a lot, I'd say go balance.
