Patch maintenance is ongoing right now, and I've done some final adjustments to my planned build. Still though, I can't fully make up my mind of I will use this feral build or make a healing build temporarily before the expansion.
Vargen's feral build (http://www.wowhead.com/?talent-bc=MZxGMscrReuboVx)
Vargen's healing build (http://www.wowhead.com/?talent-bc=MZxG0oZxxcbeqMhox)
Let me help you on that one
GO HEALING
:roflmao:
I would not take also Tree of Life.
Go feral and do the hybrid - take a lot of +str gear and you are done (Nurturing Instinct FTW) :)
Also because I will go for THIS BUILD (http://www.wowhead.com/?talent-bc=0xcrziIsguAo)
So I can't really tell ya to spec resto :P
Ok...Blizzard screwed up all again :sad:
The talents we are given are not the ones in the patch notes but the PTR ones it seems.

GREAT! :frusty:
My first intention was to go for a semi healing/feral build, starting out at lvl 60 with 0/20/31, and putting more points in feral as I level up, ending up with 0/30/31.
But I've been on the PTR for a couple of weeks (haven't really had time to play), and there I tried out a 0/41/10 build (very similar to Vargen's feral build), and I must say that it was just cool:yahoo:
The DPS I managed to push out in catform, the damage I could take in bearform, it was all just über :dribble:
Since I don't raid anymore, I'm very tempted to try go full feral, at least for a while, but I haven't managed to decide yet. The only problem if I choose to go feral, is that the small pieces I have with feral gear suck balls... but I guess that can be fixed with some Strat/Scholo/BRS grinding :)
Oh great, they *bleeped* it up again :thumbsdownsmileyani . I'd much rather have the talents that are in the patch notes.
I'm going for this spec (41feral/10restro): clicky (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/bc-druid/talents.html?000000000000000000000500232130322210530132105500000000000000000). This (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/bc-druid/talents.html?000000000000000000000500232130312210500000005503301031000000000) (30feral/21restro) was also an option, it's about the same as I have now. The reason I'm going full feral is that I am just blown away by how powerfull it has become. I tested it on the PTR and it was absolutely amazing. More damage avoidance and DPS in bear form and I was doing about 350-400 DPS in cat (self buffed) without doing anything special at all.
Btw, if anyone wonders why I didn't put any points in shreding attacks. At the moment Mangle > Shred (damage wise), since we don't get the +30% shred damage debuff from mangle yet :sad: .
The trees are totally ****ed up now. Just so angry with these talents that I don't even fell like using the feral tree anymore. I could go with this (http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/underdev/burningcrusade/druid/talents.html?000000000000000000000503030130302212500000055500300201000000000) and pretend the patch never happend, as this would leave me with exactly the same as I had before. But I should have had at least 5 more talents to spend if Blizz hadn't ****ed us over _again. I might just abandon feral and go zombie spec (http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/underdev/burningcrusade/druid/talents.html?000000000000000000000000000000000000000000050500350531502531251) though.
I'll go cry myself to sleep now :rolleyes:
It would be cool if you gave that "zombie spec" of yours a try, just for a couple of weeks or so, just to see how good you really could do healing with it!
I'm leaning more and more towards going full feral - both because I won't be raiding too much in the time to come, but also because I've always been full resto, and I feel it's a good time to try out the feral tree :)
Atm I've specced like THIS (http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/basics/talents/druid/talents.html?500025012503135231051000000000000000000000000000000000000000000) leaving me with 7 talents. Now is better to go for THIS (http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/basics/talents/druid/talents.html?500025012503135231051000000000000000000000050200000000000000000) to have Imp. MotW and some reduction to HT cast or THIS (http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/basics/talents/druid/talents.html?510025012533135231351000000000000000000000000000000000000000000) to gain +3% hit to melee / ranged?

Thing is that having HoT spec, I won't have any effective healing at all, as there is allways some pallie or priest spamming flash heals and chasing the top healer spot. It would only really work _after_ all priests and pallies were out of mana.

Give it a try Bob. The first time I specced feral was in patch 1.10 or something and I've been in love with the tree ever since. (Yes, I was restro while leveling to 60; no wonder it took so long :doh: ).
Too bad they messed up the trees. Aren't these even older then on the PTR? I thought feline swiftness also gave 4% dodge to bear when I tried it out, just like in the beta, but that isn't the case in the live server trees :g: . Blizz already stated that they're not going to fix it :ranting2: , we'll have to wait till the expansion arrives.
I specced my horde druid feral and Vargen to 'tree spec'. Pretty happy with both really, but I want to play feral again when they fix the talents.
Playing my cow at lvl 38 now all I can say is I EXPECT them to be nerfing Nurturing instinct VERRY soon. I go from 0+healing to 80+healing or so for 6 seconds after shifting out of feral form. That makes a huge difference on healing. Meaning I can grind non stop only stopping to pop a warstomp+ht if I run low on health on a mob. Usually it is enough to just pop a rejuv while running to the next mob.
Woot :D:yahoo::clap:

That is what I would call a pretty nice crit :dribble:
Nice one Akall. That guy never knew what hit em :D . Pretty humiliating to get ganked by a big chicken :lmfao: .
Pls 'Fat Chicken' :)
Cough!!!! i from time to time get 1st healer... BUT! i dont use flash heal...
Thats just you being skilled Luthor ;)
Oh and on the oomkin part Sandrion. I saw this Oomkin from another server with more spelldmg than me. Totally ripping apart a tier 2-3 mage and a pally in the arena. Werdana the noob (On his pally) died. And the Oomkin really really really _RIPPED_ apart both. It happened fast too :P
Well it's not that balance druids can't do damage, I was refering to the character model. Seeing a big fat chicken jump out of the bushes and then two shotting someone is pretty funny :lmfao: .
I finally did my respecc today (haven't had time to do it since the patch), and I ended up with this (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/bc-druid/talents.html?000000000000000000000500232130322210530132105500000000000000000) (pretty straight forward copy of a build Sandrion had in an earlier post).
I joined Gorion in grinding some ogres in Deadwind Pass tonight, and I must say that I really enjoyed the DPS :D
Just got to get a good setup for my hotbars - not easy to change something you've used for nearly two years, and now I suddenly have 2-3 new spells that I must fit in there :crazy:
i gotta say that imp leader of the pack simply rules
