Today's Awesome Druid Moment

[Malekyth]

I love these guys more and more each day. I just dinged 70, so I'm doing Sethekk Halls for the first time with this team, and hit Darkweaver Syth. I didn't expect a problem with him, but I didn't realize how "not a problem" he'd end up being.

I started with the Forest of Doom as usual, then Starfire. He did his little summoning thing a little earlier than expected and I thought, "oh, right, forgot about the adds, crap." I did a reflexive Typhoon + Hurricane to get me to the next phase ... Well, treants plus Hurricane kill Darkweave Syth in about three seconds. He must've dropped through two phases of health so fast the incoming adds would have telefragged eachother.

The moral of the story: try druids once. They are completely silly in an awesome way.

Today's second awesome druid moment ... MURMUR'S DOWN! My pally + locks couldn't do it. My DK + mages couldn't do it! The owlfiends took him down, first try.

Postscript: while I was slapping my forehead, marveling at "you have earned the Achievement Shadow Labyrinth!", with my girlfriend standing over over my shoulder and admiring my victory ... from druid Tecuani comes a little parting gift from Murmur: SONIC BOOOOOOM! Flattens the party instantly. I can't think of a better ending.

5xboomkin or 3xboomkin + 1 bear + 1 tree?

Sounds like you run some weird setups there! :P

Holy paladin and locks? Voidwalkers tanking? Shouldnt be impossible but its harder then using a normal tank.

Death Knight and mages without a healer? :S

That's inspiring, thank you.
I've always wanted a team of those... even if it's just so I can farm for raven mounts 5x as much!
Maybe I'll give it a shot. I'm guessing you ran as 5 boomkin since they're "owlfiends"?

Sorry, I never remember to specify. I run five boomkins on this team. I don't even have my bear tank macros on a hotbar yet ... I used to, then switched over to Macaroon and didn't bother remaking them because the boomkins were exactly as nuclear as I needed.

The pally+locks team I'm talking about is a prot pally tank, two affliction locks, one destro lock and a holy priest. Despite lacking reliable CC, they rip things up in PvE ... but not nearly as well as five coordinated DPS. It's kind of sad, because I always felt so smug about doing the same content that five-shaman teams did, but with three different classes (and four specs). But now I see why the shaman teams became so standard. Massive DPS is a major thrill.

Soon as I get my locks to 80 (73 atm) going to get on my lvl 62 druids. Can't wait to get them back in the saddle!

Ditto. I've got druids at 60 and am looking forward to playing them once I finish my current group.

hmm

can you give me some informations about mana issues with the boomkins?
how long does it take to get them OOM?

before WOTLK it was more an OOMKIN than a BOOMKIN :-D
