Sleep is for the weak.

I popped Berserk for a change in heroic Culling of Stratholme the other day and beat our Shadow Priest in DPS.

5k DPS every 3 minutes, yay.

I have to update the sticky, I will try to do it tomorrow.

Herro.

I need 10 ametrines for sp/haste gems.

Gonna get myself to about 750-800 haste on my druid soon.

How to get Alterac Blitz:

1) Be a bear
2) Bring a few trees
3) Win

Whee lag owned us today, raid canceled!

It got good once you started replying a lot, /popcorn worthy at least. :-) That thread reminded me why I pass on the orb.

That GotEM change is still messing with me. I got used to sub-1.1 second HoTs, mine are still at about 1.25 now. You wouldn't think it, but that .2 seconds really #$%^s up my rhythm.

Also I updated the sticky.

Sticky-related question about Restoration:



Anyone actually use that spell in 5-mans anymore? Last time I used it was in ToC5 when I was still wearing scrub gear and had my fingers crossed through P3 of the Black Knight.

Nowadays five Rejuvs and a Wild Growth is more than enough.

I just used it like 20 minutes ago :)

Tank didn't catch all the casters in H FoS, everyone started taking damage, and other bad things. Best part in those situations is the fact the 2 talent points means no generating threat and plenty healing for the whole group. It gives the tank 7ish seconds to get everything under control without worrying about anyone dying. At 3.2 minutes its timer is kinda the same timeframe as most of my "oh $#!%" tanking CDs, and I'll find I use it in similar situations. *shrugs*

But ya, most druids drop it though once they out-gear heriocs, are done leveling, etc. It can be hard to justify talent points on a spell with a longer CD, and it can be too tricky to use it effectively raids. But right now I mainly do 10s and heriocs myself, so it's still there for me.

Look at it this way Maz, you're probably just too good to need it. ;-)

To be honest, it's probably got more to do with how well someone knows what is a troll attempt and what isn't, which has no causal link to raiding.

I do! That was an awesome story! :D

But as to Tranquility, I like to think of it this way (yay analogies). What if the glyph of challenging roar was a major glyph, would you still take it? even if they buffed it a bit? Most well-geared tanks probably haven't used challenging roar in a herioc for while. I know I can only remember one time in the last couple of months I've used it. I probably should have waited till the extra group killed the guy who aggro'd them, but I didn't want the adds taking out my innocent healer! :-) However if you're a newly minted 80 in a random with a few 6k+ DPS, or leveling with a bunch of people still learning their classes (yourself included!), you'd be more likely to want it, hypothetically.

I'm sure we could have a similar debate for any number of survival enhancing crutches:

-Improved Tranquility
-Glyph of Rebirth
-Survival Instincts for kitty form
-Nature's Swiftness (ya some trees will drop this too)

At what point you don't need the crutch anymore is a judgment call, and is partly based on those you run with. If 5-mans are pushing-your-limit content it's still golden IMO. :-)

P.S. I wish WG had a negative net mana cost for me too :-(
