Howdy everybody, here we have the Blue posts and class discussions for the weekend and today. Druids, Warriors, Death Knights, and Hunters all got a little something their way.
Druids
As far as the previous poster who likes the Feral as the tank / dps hybrid, I don’t think anything we’re doing will really hurt that. You [...]

Kenzi scored these pictures a while back but it didn’t get the attention I think it deserved. Vordrassil looks to be a pretty creative place and as far as lore goes it’s a nice little branch (no pun intended) in the whole World Tree arc.
Nordrassil was the big bad World Tree we all know from [...]

Well your prayers have been answered. Druids should now really find a few less problems with grouping since as the only healer because they have the tools to stand out as a strong solo healer and yet lack none of the core requirements.
Hots? Check
Big heals? Check
OOC Rez? Check

So in a nutshell Warriors are going to be Barbarians from Diablo II, Rogues get an AOE, Warlocks can shapeshift, Druids are getting Dire Cat, and Mages will become walking explosions.
Mage

Mage Armor will be reworked to reduce harmful debuff durations, so that’s a more suitable raid armor. Finally.
New ability: Frostfire Bolt. In itself it’s [...]

I saw this today on the WOR forums and thought to myself “So that’s why I died.” For the longest time I would blame otherwise amazing healers for me instantly getting KO’d by bosses knowing full well that it shouldn’t have happened. Here’s a blurb form the download page. I would advise any and all [...]

I would agree with the CM on this one. Even with Paladins and Druids in Burning Crusade getting some tanking utility, the best tank for many situations will always be a Warrior through the pure mitigated damage and tons of tools (shield block, shield wall, last stand, etc) they’re given.
I will say this much though, [...]

This is a GREAT set right here. Anybody that cares enough about PVP to be remotely competitive should follow this ongoing series closely. This installment is all about the restoration spec druid (which is pretty freaking common and strong in most arenas and battle grounds)
It goes into explicit detail on all of a druid’s tricks [...]

So this is just for the Hutners out there. Blizzard clearly doesn’t have to explain themselves when they make a class change, hell most of the time they don’t and say something like “The developers felt this change had to go through and we don’t have any plans at this time to XYZ”
However with the [...]

A bunch of my hunter friends are going nuts over this new change in Patch 2.4.2 which I really don’t seem to understand. Obviously the change to Scare Beast is amazing. It’s now instant cast, has a 30yrd too, basically they’re right; hunters might become the anti-druid in Arena combat. But druids are getting all [...]

I’m not a big fan of druid videos but this completely annihilated me. I’m not very technical at all and pretty much a minimalist when it coems to addons and such. I still use the default UI and always will (though I bind my keys foo~) However if I had a druid and didn’t mind [...]

The following changes are coming from the game files.

rank 6 - 335 (was [...]

I just want to start the day off on this note; is Blizzard really making the right choices here? From druids to warlock, Blizzard is making massive changes to the game and certain classes based COMPLETELY on one aspect of the game, arena PVP. Not even battlegrounds and definitely not world PVP but the arenas. [...]
