So it’s been about a week since patch 3.2 came out. For Druids, this means that they new art for their Bear and Cat forms already came out. Being a Resto druid who goes Moonkin for questing, I never really was that excited about the new form art. I mean it was something I could see but not something I would see often enough. The only time I really get into my feral forms is if I’m bored and I wanna dance in a new form.
Anyway, I finally decided to check out which form art I got for both Cat …read more

After reading and writing about the class Q&A’s that Blizzard has been releasing, I’ve pretty much noticed that it’s not very very helpful in answering most of the important issues of the different classes. Nevertheless, it’s interesting to read because you get to see what the devs are thinking about the class involved and where it stands now and going forward to the future. If anything it’s these future thoughts and plans that are most intriguing to read about. It’s time to talk about Druids now!
Druids have come a long way since vanilla WoW since back then they were pretty …read more

It was just this past week where I finally gave jousting in the Argent Tournament another chance and through my research I finally practiced a worthy technique and started getting pretty good at it. I finally worked my way up to the champion rank, defeated the black knight and started doing the daily group quest Threat From Above. As a result of this, I started doing the Battle Before The Citadel quest again too since a lot of groups tend to do that right after since it’s a LOT easier to do as a group.
I don’t know why but one …read more

So I was wrong about my prediction that the new Night Elf cat form art models would come immediately after the Tauren ones were released a few days ago. I based my prediction on the fact that the Night Elf bear form art came right after the Tauren one so I assumed that things would be the same. I read somewhere that the Night Elf bear form art was actually released too soon so the timing of the cat form releases would probably have been the way it should have been.
So anyway the Night Elf cat form art is finally …read more

Last week Blizzard unveiled the new art for both the Tauren and Night Elf bear form art models that’s coming out in patch 3.2. Now it’s the turn for us to see the new art coming in the same patch for cat form. For now we have the new Tauren cat form art which you can see here. and if last week was any indication, we should be seeing the Night Elf version very soon, probably even later.
Though the new Tauren cat form art models aren’t as varied as I had hoped, they still look pretty cool. The fact that …read more

It’s funny how some things work out sometimes. Just because of something that concerns Tauren druids, all Taurens no matter what class will benefit from the issue. At least that’s how I read the announcement. I’m talking about the new druid form art that’s coming out in patch 3.2 and how some people are complaining about it.
Apparently the new form art that you will use when you shift to bear or cat depends on how the druid’s “caster form” looks in terms of hair color and skin tone. CM Zarhym admitted that it’s going to take a great deal of …read more

As I mentioned yesterday, Blizzard announced that patch 3.2 will also feature the new art for the bear and cat druid forms. It’s about time too since Druids had those same looks ever since they learned bear form at level 10 and cat form at level 20. By going to a barber shop in a major city, druids can change their bear and cat look.
Blizzard is releasing previews of these new art models little by little and started with the new Tauren bear form art. Their latest release is the new Night Elf bear form art which can be seen …read more

If I remember it right, talk about new art of druid forms has been around since last year’s Blizcon. It’s been always brought up as a topic in the forums and the CM’s couldn’t give a definite answer. But finally Blizzard made an announcement in the World of Warcraft website that the new art for bear form and cat form will be out by the next major content patch, which is patch 3.2.
You can look at the preview of the new art forms in that link above, although right now they only have the Tauren bear form art out. Looking …read more

Patch 3.1 has brought us a spiffy new permanent event in the Argent Tournament and with it a bunch of cool new daily quests. Some of the daily quests involve the construction of the Colosseum, a project outsourced to the profit centered goblins.
Players are tasked with the acquisition of stone and wood to be used in the construction but the goblins profit centered approach is quite disturbing. For them they don’t care that the wood is obtained by cutting down trees in the beautiful Crystalsong Forest and obtaining stone from the artifacts near Ulduar.
As seen in the screen shot above, …read more

There’s an outburst in the druid community now because the class is getting some nerfs in patch 3.1. One of them is the change to the feral talent Heart of the Wild where at max rank, the stamina bonus it gives will be reduced from a 20% increase to just a 10% increase. According to Ghostcrawler, this is part of their effort to make all tanks’ HP pools closer together but of course a nerf is a nerf and this sucks for bear tanks.
The next change is the one to the resto spell lifebloom, the resto druid’s best friend …read more
