4.0.6...

From the point of view of my favorite team... sucks.
Having played primarily with staggered Tremors or Berserk for the last couple of years... Fear bombs hit the Druids hard.
Root really sucks, as one toon can disable the team, for a time.
Honestly, I'd rather be rooted with the team all in one place, than feared and running all over the place.
Both nerfs suck, and have taken the fun out of the team.

Decided to try Boomkin on them...
The honor grind blows at this point, without any PvP gear to speak of.
And running Feral is pretty painful, when Fear or Root destroys the team.

Feral is less painful; but have to ask myself if it is worth it.
Druids have no protection against Fear.
Might be able to A: Entangling Roots; B: Solar Beam or something similar..
And eventually they get sick AoE.



Pretty much, Fear is horrible to deal with; one AoE fear screws most teams over.
So personally I want compositions that have some fear protection, as a main criteria.
That leaves: Shaman (Tremor), Priests (Fear Ward), and that's about it.

I'm tempted to go with DK's/Priest, as the lead toon can Mass Dispel the DK's... and DK's hit hard... but the team doesn't have a lot against fear.
And Blizzard has shown, it doesn't give a shit about balance and is happy to nerf anything into the ground; is another grind of honor gear worth it?



Haven't done much with my Shammies.
Thinking of trying them as Resto x5, support role.
Not sure that will be fun for long, but it is different.

Tremor x5, on round-robin, as a raid-wide fear break.
They should be decent against fear.
Ditto for root, as heals don't require facing.

Grounding vs Casters.
Searing/Magma/Fire Nova vs Melee.

See how Earth Shields do for survivability.
With 5x Healing Stream Totems, and Healing Rain AoE thing.

5x Earth (10-mins) and 5x Fire (5-mins) Elementals, are the big buttons.



Priests are 75th, and the PvE portion will be easy, as quests always are.
Being 85th, will qualify them for the next Alchemy transmute in the next expansion, assuming I'm playing wow then.
They're Disc x5, which has been drastically improved but not sure how strong it is.

Fear Ward, for the first fear, which would be 8-sec max.
Human Racial the second fear, which would be 4-sec max.
The third fear can land, but that is 2-sec max and then they're immune or 30 sec.
Fear Ward is available every minute (glyphed) and Human Racial every 2 minutes.

Penance x5, Smite, Holy Fire, SW: Pain, Devouring Plague, Mindblast, SW: Death.
Not the best offense, but a lot of options from two different schools.

Not sure how 5x Shadow would run.
But even with the pre-4.0.6 Feral nerfs, a priest would almost always survive the full Dispersion duration.

That site has been around for 2+ years. I visited that site a year ago and most posts were sad, one guy left a suicide note on that site. They had suicide help lines posted for a while.

Jesus. I was about to start cracking the jokes until I read that. Poor guy.

Long term solution to a short term problem.

I watched the video from the wowdetox site and read a few pages of posts. I came away a bit confused. The site seems to assume playing WoW means you are socially inept, have a really difficult life, are a jerk when you play, and have a hard time dealing with real-life situations.

To me, finding fun and fulfillment in your leisure time is something to be proud of, not something to be ashamed of. So many others have difficulty with leisure time and spend it watching TV, drinking too much, messing up their relationships with girlfriends in revloving door relationships, sitting around being bored or depressed, posting hate on political forums, or avoiding leisure time entirely by being a workaholic.

I understand WoW can be unhealthy if taken too far, but as long as you are having success at work, in your marriage, in your health, and in serving others, I think having fun with WoW is just another success.

I see many people who are dissatisfied with things, but I look up to those who can find pleasure in things as they are (even with all their imperfections).

The wowdetox site seemed to be filled with people who failed at finding fun in WoW. Unlike the posts made by members here, the wowdetox posters seemed to be taking it particularly hard. Based on the video and their posts, I think that this failure was indicative of their inability to find any joy with life in general. Looking at that site just makes you sad.

Ualaa DKs can use their lichborne when feared or go UD and use the racial. ALso if you see it coming you can go anti-magic shield.
