Thank you to those of you who have written to suggest improvements and point out errors. I apologise for not responding quickly at times – I have just moved across the country and I’m preparing for a new arrival, so I don’t have a lot of time to spend on the computer. [...]
Innervating a friend/partner nerfed in 4.2
May 3rd
Innervate has gone through a lot of changes in its career. The newest, in 4.2, is: Innervate now grants an ally target 5% of his or her maximum mana over 10 seconds, but still grants 20% of the druid’s maximum mana over 10 seconds when self-cast. Glyph of Innervate now causes the druid to gain
Clarification
Apr 19th
Just a clarification on my recent post about Innervate and Volcanic Potions: I think that some people misread/misinterpreted this article. I have since simplified some of the language to make it more clear. It was not written to tell people not to use Volcanic Potions; nor was it to say that you shouldn’t hit your
Don’t use Volcanic Potions with your Innervate
Apr 7th
I’ve seen a few people recommending or doing something that is quite wrong: popping a Volcanic Potion specifically to boost their Innervates. Here’s why you should never, ever do that. [...]
Should I take the Moonkin T11 pants for Resto?
Mar 12th
Following on from yesterday’s article on which chest/shoulder combo Resto Druids should take, commenter Krossi brought up something that I had forgotten about – the option of taking the Moonkin T11 pants, which have Spirit and Haste (where our pants have Spirit and Crit).
If you’re really trying to hit that 2004 breakpoint, particularly non-alchemists who don’t get a cheap +194 leg-up from Vibrant Alchemist Stone, then taking the Moonkin pants as your offset item is a good way to bump up your haste. [...]
Mailbag: Which T11 chest/shoulder combo is best?
Mar 11th
Nymerias wrote to me recently and asked: “I’m really not sure about how to go about getting my 4-set of tier 11 gear. Originally I thought the shoulders off of Omnotron were the best option to go off tier with. The list I found opted for the off tier chest off of Halfus instead. I am just hoping to get your opinion on the matter.” [...]

Ghostcrawler blog: We’re watching healing
Jan 13th
GC has a new blog article, if you haven’t seen it yet, about dungeons and raids, and how they are monitoring player satisfaction/dissatisfaction. It can be found here. Here is a snippet: We do understand that some healers are frustrated and giving up. That is sad and unfortunate. But the degree to which it’s happening,
Update (me, PTR notes)
Jan 7th
I quit as GM/officer of my guild. I am now simply a member. Perhaps sometime in the future I will work back up to Raider, but we will have to see what happens.
PTR notes are up for the next patch, and there are some interesting druid changes. Here are the PVE resto-centric ones [...]
My name is Emma and I live in Australia. I’ve been gaming on and off since I was about 11. I won’t tell you exactly how long ago that was, let’s just say long enough.
