Coliseum crash course
Oct 31st
A friend of mine has been away from the game for a while, and asked me what had changed about druid healing, what he needed to know. I thought I would post this super-quick “crash course” of how I heal the bosses in TOC. Not fight strats, just bullet points of exactly what I do.
Absentree notice
Oct 22nd
Hi everyone! There’s not much happening in the world of the druid at the moment – Blizzard and the dataminers are dribbling a few 3.3 tidbits to us now and then, but mostly things are quite quiet. I wanted to post to say that I may be absent for a week or two; for various

Oct 15th

Everywhere I go, I see people misinterpreting our new Tier10 bonuses, and either peeing their pants or getting upset. Calm down! We won’t know for sure until they are released properly, but I’m going to go out on a limb (no pun intended) and apply some common sense to the resto bonuses – so everyone

3.3 Rejuv buzz: hasted HoTs
Oct 8th
Rejuv is the buzz in druidland these days, after Blizzard announced that in 3.3, the final tick of Rank 15 of the spell would be shaved off, bringing it back down to 12 seconds (15 with Splendor), in line with the other ranks. This was apparently “a bug” that they “let slide” for a while
