Thinking of respecing Boomkins

[Ualaa]

I believe dual-spec is now 10gold, which is a substantial discount from the original price.

I'd personally level all three as Feral.
Although Boomkin or a combination would work.

Feral will heal themselves, almost every time they crit.
Because of Leader of the Pack.
And you'll crit a lot of the time.
Against trash type mobs (I'm speaking questing, not instances here), you'll almost never need any form of heals.

When you do need it, there's a talent which gives you a 20% chance (per combo point) with any finishing move of making your next nature spell an instant cast.
I was using a basic macro: Mangle, Rake, Mangle, Mangle, Rip... Had to put (Cat Form) after each spell "Mangle(Cat Form)" etc...
With four spells and then a finisher, and a 30% crit rate (was higher with quest gear all the way up), you have over a 95% chance of an instant nature spell.

Set up Grid or Healbot or Vuhdo.
With a repeater region.
And have a keybind for Healing Touch or Regrowth.
So when you need it, all three of them will attempt to cast it on whichever one had threat and might need it.
You could also bind Rejuvenation and Lifebloom, if you wanted to top them up.

Mana won't be an issue, as you regain mana from doing a melee crit, which is very frequent.



I'd just run them Feral, in whatever gear they have now.
If you're 70th, then start the WotLK quests and take Feral rewards.
Or alternatively, run in the previous spec for a few quests and then switch over.

Quests are balanced against a one-boxer, and you have three.
So the kills will be easy either way.

I'm going to wait a month before getting WOTLK. Right now I want to use one of the toons as a booster in instances. I won't get good level-appropriate gear doing that.
