The Fluid Druid

Great news indeed, Tinder!

Can we expect new blogpost every now and then?

Hi guys. I was wondering what are our to-go sites now? I'm afraid how long fluiddruid.net will stay active (dunno if Alaron plans to pay for the server/domain forever), plus elitist jerks is down. I was searching the web and to be honest I've found nothing rather interesting, not even a subreddit :)...

Another Lunar Inspiration fight?

My guild plans on keeping them together most of the time, so I'll take Lunar Inspiration out for a spin I guess.

Hey there fellow ferals. I've got a tiny question to those of you who played WoD beta about Leatherworking - is it worth switching to for LW epic gear for initial raiding? I plan to have a Barn/Tannery combo in my garrison anyways, but I've read that having LW would speed things up a lot.

I've got a Jin'ya, Orb of the Waterspeaker from Lei Shi last week. Our shadow priest got it, since the rest of the raid wouldn't benefit from it as much. But an hour after the raid she and the other officer of our group decided to pass it down to me, since I' haven't been given any earlier int weapo...

Well I've got a ilvl 496 casting weapon, and I act as a backup healer in FUBAR situations most of the time, hence why I'm going with HotW most of the time.

Well I'm using Hotw + Fearless + Wrath spam, and tbh I'm pretty fond of it

Are you sure? From what I've heard haste doesn't affect the number of ticks of bleeds.

Thanks guys, we've managed to down him on hc :) I'm ashamed to say I failed the transition and got killed in the tornado, but the rest of my group has been focused a bit moar than me, yay :3 Tip: HotW + Tranq is AMAZING when you reach the boss with feral charge. Gives your healers breathing room whi...

@Tair: I've wanted to try that yesterday, but our best try was 23%, he's going down in this reset I've got one question to you - do you take any damage when you're inside that wind-wall thingie?

1.Elite is a faceroll in 10man normal at least, so don't even bother doing it in any other order.
2.DBM has timers for expel corruption - each melee should move BEFORE it drops. Except the tank holding the Protector, of course.

We've downed him yesterday. A couple of tips: 1.Communicate! Pick one Terror Spawn add & nuke him as a group. 2.You might want to save your cds to when you're transported to one of the platforms. Panda guy there should go ASAP. 3.Good time to pop BL is just after the first group comes back from kill...

Well but the mechanic behind that indicator is already in place, so all you have to do is tweak the numbers with DF creator - so you're more than halfway done

@Leaf: Update your Droodfocus & check again. I wasn't talking about three collored dots in the bottom of each icon - rake and rip both have an indicator in the upper right corner, which can be blank, red or green. I guess they're doing exactly what you'd like them to do, based on color changes I've ...

BitW = Blood in the Water. Our old talent, which in MoP is baked in to feral spec. It allows you to referesh Rip with Ferocious Bite when the target is below 25% hp.

@Leaf: Droodfocus already has this indicator you're speaking of. Dunno if it's brackets are 12% etc though.

I too recommend Feral Charge for this fight, especially for the second phase. Just for fun I've decided to try this encounter as a Boomkin in LFR. 'Fun', wasn't what I've stumbled upon once P2 started...

I like to do the following: 1.Pre-pot 2.Open in cat form, put up both bleeds, FFF, but do not burn my berserk. 3.Pop hotw and proceed with wrath-spam. 4.Go back to kitty-cat and use your berserk with TF which will be off cd again. Opening like this has a couple of advantages. Besides your bleeds rol...

Mine is: #showtooltip /cast Heart of the Wild /cast Berserking /equip Staff of Trembling Will /cast Wrath TBH I've decided to stick to HotW for good. We've managed to finally down Elegon HC with me hero tranq-healing with my second hotw during the burn phase. Plus the same situation pushed us on thi...

I've had the same result, but I blame my poor reflexes

Last berserk? Sometimes it's true, but I'd rather save it for burn phases like Titan Gas etc. Plus, as I'm running with HotW I usually use my potion synced with it + Bloodlust.

If you pop HotW on the pull, you'll be able to use it second time in the last cycle, when it's needed the most...

I just did a simple check on dummy and without any potions/flask/external buffs but with a swapped weapon I've pulled 63k (with one windsong & searing words proc). I'm thinking about going that way, even after the nerf tbh.

Then I guess this puts NV over HotW at the moment, when you consider extra heals. Thanks for the numbers

And what about NV macro'ed with Berserk + TF + trinkets + potions + whatnot? Maybe it'd be more beneficial than the static 6% agi buff?
