Hey there,

1-70 was an absolute breeze. All my accounts are RAF linked so the initial level was awesome. I hit level 40 in 6 hours and level 60 in 22hrs. Tight huh?

As far as TBC goes, I can easily grind any instance. The cool part is that with the pure DPS of Boomkin, I never needed a tank for any TBC instance at all. Plus you can do what I call Tree Tanking. You can use your trees to tank a bit giving you enough time to womp on them with insane DPS.

When I say insane DPS in Boomkin I really mean it. Starfire hits for a HUGE amount of damage these days. At level 70 I was doing nonstop 4500 crits with stupid crap green gear. Boomkins crit often, too.

You can't heal in Boomkin form, but HOTs are all instant for the most part. So you HOT then pop back to Boomkin form. I have a macro as well that keeps my main guy in Boomkin but all other 4 will HOT him. This maintains my main guy in high armor form in case he needs to act as a pseudo tank while he receives some literally insane heals from the hots on him.

So for example, in Azorl Nerub (however you spell it), there are trash mobs that have 80k a pop. What I do is before the fight I toss 5x renew on my A guy, and 1x on the other guys. That takes about 3 seconds. Then my A pulls 3 mobs, 2 have 40k 1 has 80k. Within less than 20 seconds both 40k mobs are dead and the 80k elite is near dead. If/when my initial HOTs wear off on my A boomkin, I hit one of my buttons which immediately makes my 4 other Boomkins pop out of Boomkin form and HOT up my A guy.

Think about it this way: Because of the sheer HOT healing power Boomkins have, you literally can make multiple people invulnerable for long periods of time. At level 75, unless a mob can do a sustained something like 7500dps to 1 guy, theres no way I will die unless I choose to. Considering that 80 end game elite bosses don't do 7500 dps, well, you get the point.

As far as talents go, dump them all into Balance until 75. I haven't gone past that so I'm not sure from there, but 75 is a long ways away for you. Balance has immense healing power so you really don't need anything offered in the resto tree since you'll primarily be using your HOT heals multiplied by each of your Boomkins

Any other questions?

PS - Once you go instant cast flight form you will never want to go back again.
