question relating to armor...Follow

I realize this has probably been asked before, but I've dug back a few (5 or so) pages and couldn't find anything...

I have a tauren druid (obviously), and I'm getting close to dual speccing... I'm also getting close to level 70, which, not having lich king is where I'll be at for quite some time.... so to the question...

I'm looking for uber lvl 70 druid armor sets (or not) for both restoration and feral... I've looked at the site in the armor sets section, but I really don't know what I'm looking for (this is my main toon, she's my pride and joy)... I'd ask guildmates, but I'm the only high level druid...

if it helps any, i'm looking to go melee dps with the feral ...

I realize what armor is best really relates more to personal taste, but any help is welcome...

thnx,
cowjoke

ok, getting the armor isn't an issue, and I won't have lich king for quite some time, that requires a new computer, which i just can't afford right now...

i know there is better armor out there than the moonglade raiment, i'm dual speccing to dps because i'm really only needed as a healer outside of my guild... so I will be flipping alot, and will need two seperate sets of armor... I'm just asking which 2 sets are best... not which would be easiest to get.

I looked at the thunderheart set for resto a while back... I also noticed the thuderheart set is the only full armor set for a level 70... i never looked at the Harness set tho, the stats are pretty spiffy... thnx

I wonder when the OP will realize that he has next to no chance of getting the T6 set?

They purposefully moved away from the obvious "tanking leather" and make our talents handle the translation of gear into "tank armor". Now they just have items that have high values of stam/agi with a smattering of AP/crit/etc to round out the budget; this makes it useful for tanking and recycleable for rogues and such in the event a tank druid isn't present.

Gear lists help but looking at your gear as a whole is more essential.

For example I had Thrusting Bands for tanking for a while I had Mechanist's Bindings as well. I needed the hit/exp too badly to switch until I got other upgrades.

You shouldn't have told Horse you're a she... >.>.... <.<...

If you're lucky enough to have friends willing to run you through Tier 6 content over and over to get you that set, you've got friends with more time on their hands than most and I'd consider you lucky.

Hopefully the druid sticky can help you dps in kitty.

I have a really decent computer and I still lag in dalaran. AV not so much since BG's are controlled by a separate server much like instances. How much ram does your computer have and are you using the larger chips to get the most out of each slot. I'm not asking cause I assume you aren't, just friendly checking like...

Also, welcome to the druid forums, next step is a hot avatar...

Speaking of which..Mazra...bring back my girl... >.<

Everyone on the internet is a man. If that is not the case then ToGTFO.

Edit: Pretend this is Horsemouth.

I like to think of it in order of people who made the sticky as Arex/Horse/Galen in order respectively.


That sucks about your computer, like I said, Dalaran still gives me problems, especially when logging in there. Of course I have my settings turned up rather high so that doesn't help. Anyway, like I said before, you're lucky to have people to take you through that old content which will keep you busy and happy until you're able to buy your dream computer. You can also still make quite a bit of money from the SSO dailies which would give you the money for all the things you'll want at 80 including cold weather flying, epic mount, etc.

For 70 kitty, you're looking at our standard rotation minus Savage roar. FFF > Mangle > Rake > Shred to 5cp > Rip > Keep Mangle, Rake and Rip up at all times, using FB to drop combo points when you have time. Your AoE ability is minimal since you can't get kitty swipe until 71, but on really big trash groups you can switch to bear, pop enrage and spam swipe. :P

As far as talent points, I came up with this for a kitty dps spec at 70 Level 70 kitty spec (As a disclaimer, that 1 point in NI is to go further down in the tree, so is the 1 point in Improved Mangle. You can take points out of Naturalist to fill Improved Mangle if you "really" want to, but point for point imo they are more dps in Naturalist. Also, Berserk imo is a bigger dps boost than OoC)

I realize that this is more than you asked for initially, but I'm really bored at work :P

Shameless +1s this morning, or just bored?

<--feels no shame.
