Druid Gear??Follow

So... -.-
I have a druid. But I'm still stuck on what she needs. She is Moonkin druid. All for balance.

I know that feral needs attack power and stuff but Balance??
Ive heard I need critical strike/spell power, but my spell crits are exactly the SAME!!
I want bette crits and damage to do in dungeons/battleground!! And more Health points so that I am not so vulnerable!
Sooo...To ANY Balance druids out there, Wat do you look for in armor!!
What encants do I ned on my armor, ETC...
:o)
Thanks Druids, you are awesome....What to I neeeed? ^^

Sticky n all that, this kind of stuff should be in there and you didn't read it.

Uh oh, mean druid forumers!

Aethien, you've come to the dark side.

Fix it then you slacker.

Ok, Arex I AM the dark side. The dark side has come to the druid forums.
And fix the sticky slacker!

The sticky may be lacking for Moonkins, however it is not devoid of the basic information the OP was asking for. I feel my earlier statement still applies, but the sticky should be updated or at least include a link to a more in depth forum/ thread/ website.

I started my ZAM life in the Hunter forums, Æthien was there, and for those of you who know it, Caldone and a few others who were less than friendly. Well the basics of the Hunter forum culture were this:

1) Spend some time looking for information yourself before posting a question.
2) Check the Sticky for that information before you post another question asking the same thing.
3) Don't be a complete jackass to anyone unless they deserve it, however, being straight forward and frank do not equal jackass.
4) It is perfectly alright to call someone out when their lack of effort is readily apparent and expect everyone else to do their work for them.
5) Stupid questions deserve stupid answers, simple questions deserve simple answers, and complex questions are answered by Æthien, Mazra, Arex, (insert name of forum Guru here) =P

Anyway, this whole mentality kind of arose out of the "What's the best Hunter pet?" question...now it's easily answered, back then it was easily answered, soooo why the question? Hence the frustration with seeing said question multiple times on the same forum page.

Coddle a noob, they will always be a noob. Give people the easy way out and they will never figure it out themselves. It's like raising children, you have to teach them to do things themselves, and also reprimand them when they do something stupid/ wrong when you know they know better.

I am by no means calling anyone a child or idiot, I am just trying to rationalize my response and mentality surrounding situations such as the one started in this forum. And want to apologize to anyone for offending them if I did.

I always try the stickies, but some of the stickies here on Allakhazam are a little out of date. I read the sticky then notice that the last time it was edited was in 2007......

I have found it often difficult to find introductory info for a lot of classes. Back in the day you could find a plethora of leveling guides (which order to pick talents etc.), but not many of them seem to have been updated. I end up in the EJ theorycrafting thinktank or threads there half the time which all assume a pretty large amount of prior knowlege - which leaves me searching here and various other places for the info I need. Our stickies here have usually been pretty good and up to date and I think we may be used to being spoilt :)

I'm lazy and don't want to do have to it. ;) Also I recently refreshed the feral parts and someproteinguy gave me new stuff for the resto parts.

Also Quor and Friar know an ******** about druid and also help out as needed.

People usually just make a new thread or post in the big one with random questions.

Typically we get people up to par relatively fast in a 'stupid question' thread by giving way to much info and then also referring to the sticky. We also tend to keep discussing the question or a related one after the OP's question has been answered.

For the most part I don't mind answering these questions. I get to ramble on about druid stuff and get more technical than needed.

Mainly the rambling part.

Assuming bala' means balance. If you are only puling 1.5k DPS I am sure you need to reevaluate your spec, rotation and gear choices.

An armory link would help. Well to be honest an armory link would be required to help. Also a general run down on your rotation.

I'm with Horse, I like the rambling part. Good stuffz.

I would have been more helpful, but I don't know chicken.

All I know is what I've gathered in passing and it's all probably wrong anyway. Something about squakandawe, lotsa crit, and making sure you /dance at every conceivable opportunity.

I'm assuming EJ is better for boomkin; its been hit & miss in this expansion for resto. :S
