    Just testing the water here, and seeing how many WoW players there are :p

    so, which is the better talent tree for a druid? Discuss, giving reasons and show all your workings. Your time starts now :p

    How about the best talent tree for your specific class?

    I haven't tried Druids yet, but I think a balanced Druid would be best, so you can buff your friends, heal them, and pwned everything :p

    but...... If you balance your talents out, you wont get your Moonkin form (at least at lvl 40)..... I don't remember what you have to pump into to get that.....

    I guess it's all comes down to how you wanna play the game....... for instance, my Warrior is speced for protection, 'cause you gotta have a Tank almost anywhere you go...... but then again I have 5 points in fury, and 5 point in arms, to boost my crit chance and parry chance, but I'm mostly prot......

    So maybe you don't have to balance your talents nor pump them into one slot, just put points into what you think you'll need....

    BUT, because I have the mind of a Warrior, I say go Feral, everyone needs a Tank :p

    Oh yeah, it just so happens my Tank is named Romulator........... oh yeah :D

    currently I'm mostly resto, with some balance and feral. Full balance would give me moonkin form, while full feral would give me leader of the pack. Full resto would give me tree of life form, which is basically gank bait.

    I've always found mixing your talents a bit helps a lot, because I can take damage like crazy and still deal damage out the wazoo. And pumping points into Critical Strike makes me a crit machine :D

    As long as you have a Pally in Holy, or a good Priest, you wouldn't really need your tree form.

    Apparently Priests can't rez after you go into ghost form, which is totally stupid in my opinion, they should have the same rez spell as a pally! I can never rely on a Priest :p

    druids can rez anyway, but only once every 20 minutes. Problem with tree form is if you use it in battlegrounds, it makes it obvious you're resto so the other side gang up on you to stop you healing the rest of your side.

    Damn, I can see why thats bad in PvP..... but I'm sure it's great to have in PvE...

    Alliance are indeed assholes when it comes to BG.... It seems they like to twink a whole lot more than us Horde do...

    I play normal servers (neither PvP nor RP) and you will NEVER EVER see an alliance player on their own. They alway have a level 70 escort and/or are in a group of at least 3. Even when they are level 40 and in an area such as hillsbrad. They also never attack a horde player less than ten levels below them. At level 16 I was repeatedly ganked by a level 50 alliance hunter in crossroads graveyard, and he only stopped because 3 horde level 70 mages arrived and kicked the shit out of him. And then camped his corpse, just like he had been doing to me and several other low level horde players. Blizzard were stupid to switch crossroads to auto-PvP, it's now a prime location for level 40+ alliance players (who are probably about 11 years old in real life) to kill 'the baddies' because they are 'the goodies' when the so-called 'baddies' are so much lower level they don't stand a chance. I had to clear a group of level 35 alliance players out of bloodhoof village because they were killing all the npcs and being mean to the level 10s

    when you're trying to turn in a quest and the questgiver is being repeatedly killed by another player it is extremely annoying. The only reason they weren't attacking the level 10s was because it wasn't an auto PvP area. They were such cowards that they ran as soon as I arrived, regardless of the fact that despite being level 58 at the time I couldn't take on all three of them. They were long gone by the time our 70s arrived.

    It is truly annoying when Allies are killing low lvls.....thats why I play on a normal server..... and your right, Allies are ALWAYS together, its a rare treat to see one on their own....

    Most of the Alliance consist of the 11-14 age group, so of course their going to be scare of us Horde men :D

    A few days ago, a 25 man group raided Crossroads, I mean come on, theres lvl 40 NPCs there, there's no reason to have that many people in one raid. After they got bored, they wen to Orgrimmar, and of course, they got their asses pwned :D

    reminds me of the time the allys decided to raid undercity. They used the sewer entrance to avoid the NPC guardians, and when they arrived in the canals they found 10 high level horde waiting for them at the foot of the steps. it was all over in seconds. They tried again the next day with exactly the same result :p

    MUHAHAHA!!!! The Alliance can truly be stupid.......most of the time :D

    It's one thing to try and raid a major city, but they did it again with the same "tactic"? lol, that shows who's the better of the two :p

    My favorite druid is obviously the feral druid.

    Why?
    - moonkin druids can raise the difficulty of tanking because their crits make too much aggro.
    - resto druids are hardly the main healers cause their HoTs are not always fast enough then again as secondary healer they are among the best.
    - feral druids can everything: bears for tanking, cats for dmg dealing plus I always liked to have one in my party during my times as a ms warrior
    (because of the 5%crit bonus).

    BUT: - don't await too much dmg
    - never forget that your best choice would be going with feral talents and then addingsome resto talents.
    AND play a shadow priest :p

    I re-speced all my talents into Arms now, so instead of being able to take all that damage, I pretty much deliver it back in huge chunks :D After I have my fun in Arms I might go into Fury, Berserker stance it a lot of fun. It raises your crit chance by %10, not counting the 5 points you can put in your talent tree. Only bad thing about it is it lowers your attack power by %10, and I love dealing damage :p

    Edit: Ok, never mind about the stats I showed, apparently you get a %3 crit chance and all damage taken is increased by %10, I never use the stance anyways :p

    when it comes to warriors I'm a fan of big numbers like 7000 and such numbers appear only to a 2H weapon equipped ms(mortal strike) warrior
    though his overall damg might not be as high as the dmg of a berserker he still remains the best rogue slayer
     
  17. don't rip on either side please, both horde and the alliance have people that aren't nice, but then again, if you dont like getting killed in a contested area, go play on a normal server, either way, dont bitch about it when blizzard made a wack of servers for those that don't like pvp

    Seriously, The Horde are more of the "good guys" than the Alliance, even though they're not split up into a good side nor a bad side. When was the last time the Horde could raid a major city, eh? We are way out numbered by these little 14 year olds. Us Horde just wanna have a good time, kill some Alli NPCs for quests and be off. The Alliance, for lack of a better term, just want to fuck with us all the time. They take their gaming too seriously, and as a result, turns them into assholes :p
     
  20. let me guess...you play horde...
    AS AN ALLIANCE MEMBER, I can say that some alliance members are indeed evil hehe...
    I try to discourage those players, but at the same time, I get many complaints about noobs that are getting camped all the time, its roughly 50-50, unless you have some kind of FACTUAL STAT to make what your saying true
