Just sharing, mostly...
After taking my druid to 70 and mid-way into Kara as a fully feral furball, and lovin every bit of it, last night I finally respec'd resto temporarily to grind honor and arena points for when S4 hits...to buy up feral gear, of course. : ) My guild is short on healers, though, so this'll give some of our multi-toon members a chance to run their tanks and dps instead of healing my big bear butt all the time. And of course variety is the spice of life and I kinda feel like I'm playing a brand new game targeting more friends than enemies.
Fortunately I've been saving up a healing set and got some nice drops along the way, including 2 pieces of our very own druidic moonglade set. I respec'd to the recommended "Arena Build" and grabbed all the kodohide pieces for healing with some resilience. All told I'm at about +1050 heal and like 7,500 mana. Not too bad for a brand new respec, I don't think.
Just ran my first BG -- an AB that we won handily. I lodged myself in the hip pocket of the best geared warrior in the staging area, (full S2/S3) and together we turned the tide of a lot of battles. I ended up with 2500 damage and over 160,000 healing, last and first, respectively. It was very different but enjoyable...I hope it stays that way.
Next up: seeing if I can rally our weaksauce 3v3 team to a less pathetic ranking. We've just been in it for the gear, but maybe we can start winning more than we lose now with my help. Wish me luck.
My Big PvP Question: Since CC only lasts 10 seconds in PvP anyway, and people frequently trinket out of them anyway, are higher ranks of roots and hibernate any better than the less mana-costly rank 1 equivalents?
After that: PvE which is what I have always enjoyed more than PvP. I expect drawing aggro to be my biggest frustration...I understand there are trinkets that reduce AoE threat...can anybody recommend one that's easiest to get? Man, I'm really missing Emmerald's list already...my safety blanket and shopping list all wrapped into one.
