Hey folks.. I've been playing WoW for a few months now and I'm in the mid 40's with my druid. I've been using this build thus far:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/...10 3105010000
I am considering respec'ing to attain this:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/...40 3105010000
Some background/info: I primarily play with my wife, who is a paladin that has focused on Holy so far. I usually spend the majority of my time in cat form, however during instances I play with guildmates and take on a healing role.
I never intended to go feral with this character as I will eventually maintain a main healer/non-melee role as I approach 60. This character will likely never seen a large raid, at least not for a long time, so mainly 5-man instances with my small guild of friends.
I know that the majority of my time will always be playing with my wife's paladin as a duo or trio (with a rogue or another druid as my kids level up to play with us). At this time I am also not heavily into PVP (we're on a PvE server).
A few questions:
Is Omen of Clarity worth the 6 points? NW5 really isn't a big deal, especially if I will only being using cat forms in solo modes later on.
Should I move the points in roots to thorns? It seems like a 75% increase in thorns can really be nice, especially in duoing situations as I spend the majority of my time. My main beef about roots is that they do not work indoors, which makes all those points useless in instances.
How about the common MotW vs Furor debate? I haven't done the math, but I think i'd rather have 100% energy when I shift into cat (again, for duoing).
Since I shift into cat a lot (duo mode) I thought Shapeshifter would be useful, but since mana is regenerating while shifted, I do not know that it will be a problem. It's 400 some mana right now to shirt, and I assume it continues to go up, thus a 30% savings at level 60 may be huge. Is it worth it?
There is a total possibility that I will maintain a shifting-focused build until 60, and respec to a more instace/healing friendly build one we are doing the level 60 instances.
I may be asking for too much (maintaining some good melee stuff and being able to heal/nuke decently). I feel that druids are good enough in melee forms without putting points into feral at all (not looking at any tri-builds).
If anyone has any comments or suggestions based on my playing style, feel free.. i am at the 10g level for respecs, so it's getting expensive to try new things on a whim.
Thanks !!
