Hello everyone!
As we all know (hopefully), the next expansion for WoW is coming up in a not too distant future.
In an earlier post I stated that I rerolled to hunter till Cata and would be playing the very same char in the expansion. This wont be reality as I recently felt the urge of playing something else and feel some variation within my game.
I went for my old main from TBC, my druid. I respecced him from boomkin to resto in the leveling process simply cus I was thinking that there's a higher need for healers than dps in leveling instances - and I was correct, but I didnt really like the healing part as a druid. So, I respecced feral tanking and went farming from there. Things speeded up by alot and before I knew it, my druid was level 80 and ready for the fun part of the game - gearing!
When I got started with heroic instances, I found out that I didnt fancy tanking either as druid. Ive been tanking as warrior and paladin, so tanking again on a 3rd char just didnt cut it for me. I respecced again and this time went for feral dps with a tanking offspec. Very nice spec and I was excited to get going, but I didnt quite understand how dps'ing as feral worked out, so that made me read a few guides, for example the guide written by Tun of Ensidia.
The guide was well written, but it still wasnt good enough for me (I might be slow, what do I know), I felt like there was something missing which made it easier for me to understand. Then it hit me, Redmist, my old pal was playing a druid and apparently did a very good job. So, I went to youtube and saw his video about dps'ing as feral druid in random heroic instances, and I was fascinated. I instantly wrote him a message asking if he could help me out on how to do this druid thing properly - within 24hrs after my request there was a new video from him with a guide on how to dps as feral druid and what to do with the different abilities and timers and all that stuff :P very nice of you Red, cant thank you enough!
Now Im being tank in a guild on my druid, they fancy me as I am and for the job that I do. Ofc, being a tank wasnt what I wanted, but it is what they needed at the time, so its okay for me if that gives me a spot in the raids and that I can make it possible for them to get more teams going and get more experience within Icc 10man.
With that being said, my plan is ofc still to become a dps druid in the guild, and I had a chat with my GM about it. He say that for now the guild needs a good tank so that the teams can get going and, as mentioned, get more experience and work the teams together so that the players get more comfortable with each other.
When Cata hit the stores, Im gonna level as tank and dps and whenever I hit 85 (feels wierd to type 85 rather than 80) I will go full dps and not have a viable raid tanking spec anymore - if I dont have the spec, I wont be capable of raidtanking, tadaa.
Ive been looking a little on the new abilities feral are gonna get in Cata, and they seem interesting really, especially the spell interrupt thingy. It makes me think that we might wanna use more chars able to interrupt spells on bosses henforth? Who knows..
Well, thats enough for now, I'll come back later with some more stuff =)
