And back to WoW.Follow

Since the end of Novemeber I stopped playing, since I needed a cooldwown from the game, with holidays coming, and more important, exams from college approaching. And now, here I am again, lurking the forums.

Now, I see many people saying that druids will end up, one way or another, as tank or healer. I might be the druid to say that I am STILL on DPS, playing more in catform. :D

I was lucky, though, to find yesterday, a nice guild, who was focusing on Kara attunement and gearing, and left my old one, who was too impatient to help me get attuned. Now, I am attuned and finally got that first quest. w00t!!

A first question might be: I still have greens and blues on me. Epics from PVP. Where can I find items for PVE? I ran all the possible 5man instances, and most of the items were with +spell hit/dmg, +heal/dmg, +SPELL, or unfitable for me. Can I enter Kara with my gear?


I tend to believe that most PVP items are better than PVE stuff. Of course, I might be wrong, but didn't find many items to match the PVP set. (S1)

Use Emmerald's list at www.emmerald.net

The Vindicator's Boots, Belt & Bracers from PvP are fantastic DPS items that are difficult to beat even after Kara.


If you want more specific advice, we need to see your armory to see what gear you already have. What is your AP & crit?

While Cunk's post talks about tanking, it also applies to DPS and resto as well (along with hunters, warriors, priests, etc.)

When in doubt about gear for Heroics - have all blues (good blues, too, not lvl 61 blues you've never swapped out).

For Kara, have all blues from 70 instances/heroics.

We're lucky as druids since we have emmerald's list, use that and plan appropriately. If you don't want to focus on gear, there's a relatively recent thread about what stats each spec should have before going into Kara - use that if you don't want to be tied down to a a specific gear list.
