Out of Whack

As with all of us trees at the moment, I am a very powerful raid healer.  There’s no question that the spells I have been given combine with the raid encounters Blizzard has created for current conent to make Druid healers exceptionally strong.  This is proven to me every time I raid.  Our druids pump out [...]

ROFLStomping the Raid and the New TOL

I watched the Blizzard Developer chat unfold on Twitter last night and thought there was some pretty good news for us trees coming up in Cataclysm.  Tranquility, for example, will be raid wide, last as long, but gain additional tics from haste.  Hoorah!  The New and Improved Tree of Life On a Cooldown TM (Batteries [...]

Lessons from Tanking

Although I love Sylly dearly and raid healing on her is easily my favorite thing to do in WOW, I absolutely have my limits with her.  She’s a skinner and leatherworker, so she’s generally no good for farming gold (the endless slaughter of animals for profit doesn’t much appeal to me).  She’s so crazily over geared for [...]

Arise! … Arise, I said! … wtf???

Did anyone else see this post from Ghostcrawler in response to a post saying that, now that Heroism/Bloodlust was going to be given to more than one class, Blizzard should now remove the remaining buffs exclusive to one class?  Hold tight, this is a little painful… Obviously things like Rebirth can’t just be handed to [...]

Forming: An Opinion on Tree Form in Cataclysm

 Hey, hey, everyone!  It’s been ages and ages since I’ve posted here.  I enjoyed the break for the most part, and was considering letting my account with the hosting company lapse and letting Rolling Hots roll right off into the sunset.  But there were many, many topics over these months that I considered posting about while I [...]

Should Rejuv be more hasty?

Ghostcrawler dropped a bit of a mind bend on the official forms today in regard to haste and its attractiveness or lack thereof on classes that deal in HOTs and DOTs.  Read for yourselves: We are trying to make haste a slightly more attractive stat for classes that utilize a lot of damage or healing [...]

3.3 Wheeeeeee!!!

Patch 3.3 hit the PTR today!  I’m pretty stoked about this development, as I’m sure many of you are.  I’ve been downloading the patch for the last hour or so, and it’s nearing completion.  I will probably take a premade character for a spin on the PTR this time around as a) I’ve never done [...]

Patch 3.2.2 – What have you done for me lately?

So 3.2.2. is here today.  Yay?  I suppose that I should just be happy that they’re leaving us well enough alone for the moment, but I’m not sure that I am.  I’m not thrilled with where Restos are at at the moment.  It appears that we can stay competitive with other healers, which is nothing [...]

I, Spambot

Hahahah!  My Photoshopping is cracking me UP this morning!  Eat your heart out, Will Smith! Ok, ok, so my version isn’t perfect and it’s kind of messy and yaddah, yaddah, yaddah.  It’s still cracking me up.  =)  Besides, I had to clone stamp out an entire Will Smith AND add a Spam costume.  /rofl! Sorry, [...]

Questioning Druid Q & A

Jeez I take a zoo day and Blizz puts up their Druid Q&A on the official forums!  That’ll teach me to go to the zoo!  When I came home and read the Q & A, I was exhausted from fighting the crowds at the Bronx Zoo and spending the day with 2 very sweet but [...]
