boosting with druid?

[elsegundo]

gone are the days where swipe only hit 3 mobs at a time. seriously, that was a terrible limitation. now i run through instances like butter with my druid. actually think its a lot more fun than with my pally. now... my pally has limitations. hammer of the righteous hits 3 only? whaaaa???

Which spec do you use for running instances? My druid is currently specd for feral dps for leveling(now at 76), would picking up the tanking talents be
ncecessary for boosting?

I have three battlechests due before the weekend and keyclone installed. Should be a fun experience getting it all configured.

not necessary at all. just stick with your cat talents as most of them already helps you in bear.

also you should opt for dps gear vs tanking gear. in bear form your armor bonus is already multiplied by 5, and your stamina bonus is erm... i forget, but you get higher stam anyway. dont be tempted to switch out your dps gear for tanking gear as you probably wont need it.

also also, if you watch those tanking videos on youtube, they might help... but with a druid, you can catform/stealth and prowl to the very end of the pull, then pull from the back... grab mobs as you head back towards the team. with a pally you cannot do that as you cannot stealth through. instead, youre forced to double back (which is time you're not attack but getting hit).

RFC hordeside is your first instance. for alliance, it would be sfk. yes, sfk. deadmines is linear with too many nooks (where the miners are) and has a lot of patrols if you're not careful. also not all bosses can be pulled with the group, as the tauren (you know the guy with the chest) will stun you. if he stuns you while there's 20 defias on you, that's a bad thing. sfk also has a quick shortcut to the beginning. something you dont see with deadmines.
