Wild Mushroom and tab dotting do so much more damage than Hurricane, you might as well take that off your bars.<br />Owlkin Frenzy on the other hand has a very high uptime compared to ICC from what I've seen.

After Moonkin's changes (from armor-buff to damage-mitigation) do you think Perseverance remains a good talent to consider? Maybe it's better using 3 points in Fungal Growth, Gale Winds (and something else) or return to a classic Owlkin Frenzy. What do you think about?Thelothianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941403856856640733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-51530106005941209572011-02-13T00:14:02.894-06:002011-02-13T00:14:02.894-06:00you mad bro?you mad bro?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-18091534198817119062011-02-12T19:48:28.533-06:002011-02-12T19:48:28.533-06:00when moonkin are so well blizz nerf it... 5% omg.....when moonkin are so well blizz nerf it... 5% omg... thx blizzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-18924340078096333812011-02-12T13:22:21.645-06:002011-02-12T13:22:21.645-06:00We think we overnerfed Balance.

You're better off with crit. Regular BG's is ok, but who cares. The good stuff comes from arena, and the Arena dagger is the best raid starter weapon until your well into raid progression. All the blues don't compare - not even close.<br /><br />In arena pvp, boomkins can still be neutralized as we really don't have any decent defenses. I would much rather see Thorns re-buffed to it's original damage base. The roots change really sucks in arena, and natures grasp, although instant once you're hit, doesn't help against melee cause they can still hit you until you break whatever stuns they have on you and run away. By that time, they're untangled and still kicking your butt. I'd rather they take bigger damage against thorns until you can get back into a fighting position.<br /><br />Shrooms - I luv the damage, but again, it is very limited in arena. It'd be nice if they worked more like Totems. Or even better, detonate when another player gets in range. Then you wouldn't have to worry about hitting the detonate button and just missing a pursuer. PVE, if your tank stays on the shrooms, is HUGE aoe- HUGE. I likey, but again, if your tank moves, or you don't hit the stupid detonate button in time, it's wasted. <br /><br />I like the mana changes as I don't come close to having issues any longer in raids and can save innervate for the healers. Hope they don't change this.<br /><br />Also hope they don't nurf any of the changes they recently made. Although I was near the top of the charts before the changes, I like being the top dog.

After raiding last night, my overall dps through BoT on Halfus, T&V, and Ascendant Council was an easy 2.5k to 3k above the #2 spot.<br /><br />I will grant that these fights are tailored towards moonkin strengths, being that there are 2+ targets to DoT during most of the fights, but the last time I saw my personal damage jump so far in front of everyone else was when they put the new talent trees in at the end of WotLK and moonkin started melting everything in sight. That was nerfed down by the next week, and I'm nervous the same will happen here.<br /><br />Regards,<br />-DontNerfMe!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-30741113909954078672011-02-09T09:00:03.199-06:002011-02-09T09:00:03.199-06:00@Volunsteer and others

It's really just a hobby of mine and I don't pay anything to host the site. In the end, if I asked people to donate I would feel a greater obligation to post more frequently. I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon, but I don't want to feel like I'm letting anyone down if I go a little while without posting.<br /><br />@Anon2<br /><br />I think the Darkmoon Cards are relatively easy to get. Yes they can be expensive depending on your luck and what server your on, but it is BIS currently and you don't have to compete with anyone else for the drops. In fact, Mine paid for it self, because I sold my other cards that didn't fit the deck. Even if your not a scribe you can probably get a guildie to craft them for you.<br /><br />Regarding the Stump of Time: If you need the hit Stump of Time and the new alchemist stone are reatively equal in value. The 351 Int and 194 haste on the stone are great, but 321 hit is also very good, and the proc is quite good as well. I verified my valuation with several WoL logs and Im satisfied with the results.<br /><br />@Drunken Beard<br />I forgot to update the gear list with the changes to crafted gear.
