Cataclysm Changes: Druid

[Ughmahedhurtz]

I may just have to get the druid group out again and give feral x5 a go once this goes live.

[Ualaa]

Depending on what they do to Prot Pallies, a Feral tank might be the way to go.
Especially if you pvp, as you can dual spec the Feral to Balance.
And then have Earth & Moon, for the rest of the ranged team, and stay in moonkin form the whole time, letting shammies do the team heals.

I just love the change to the eclipse.... Thats really all I was looking for. I hope they will implement it.

I don't really care about the other changes. Nothing really bad and nothing really good.

To tank with a bear is a laugh today..... I use one button 90% of the time.

Ohh and concerning the new trap... I think this says it all:

Why are Restoration druids the only spec in the game not receiving a new spell?

A. Restoration druids are actually getting a fair bit. For one, Tree of Life is getting a whole new model (think Ancients of War) and will also "morph" some of your spells to do crazy things while in the form, such as cause Regrowth to be instant, or Lifebloom to apply two applications at once. Tranquility will be raid-wide. We're also touching nearly every Restoration druid spell to make sure each has a niche and feels good. In general, playing a Restoration druid should feel a lot different (better!) in Cataclysm than it does today.

Eat that other healing classes Raid-wide tranquility?!?

They also said in that twitter chat that Druids were getting a targeted, lasting AE silence beam basically. It sounds awesome x4

Going over the new druid talents I notiched that in the restoration tree theres a talent which enables a instant cast of starfire, wrath etc. It's called Fury of Stormrage and is enabled when spending 25 points in the resto tree.

I guess playing 5 druids, my healer will start doing dps aswell - since I don't have to stick to the tree of life form.

Some of the mechanics they implement is surly going to need some testing to be able to macro nice DPS figures.
