Let me start of by posting this since im fairly proud of it.
http://wowwebstats.com/vc2bvg1vwvkgy?s=6851-7044&a=14 now refer to my sig for my druids armory. My Druid ended up tanking the rogue on Council this week without many problems and all I have to say is that it is certainly great seeing the other side of that room for a change >.<
As I have posted in my past Blog, tanking with the Druid just came natural to me since the cycle is close to that of a Warrior. The problems that i have been experiencing is rage starvation as well as sinks in tps. A big factor is the lack of gear on my Druid. I am nowhere near hit cap nor do I have the 4pc T6 which is HUGE in heroics. Now I know there are plenty of Druids out there without any T6 who dont have issues with threat, however they also don't have T6 geared out dps attacking their targets. Even with a full rage bar I can bairly break 900ish in heroics. I'm honestly stumped here. On my Warrior I used to be able to stay on the target a few seconds and then switch off and it would be glued to me, on this Druid if i don't stay on it till its at 15% it will most likely get peeled off me. I will holla back at you guys about my threat once I get a few more purpz under my belt and see if anything will change.
I finally started to do arena on my Druid which is BALLER! First week since I couldn't find a team I composed a rag-tag-alt-trio, it was made up of not one but TWO holy Paladins and myself as feral. Games lasted anywhere between 3 (caster teams focusing me and its GG) and 30 some-odd minutes (melee teams with a single healer that get drained over time) We finished the first week off at exactly 1500 at 10 games played. This week we HUGE strides in bringing our raiting up, we ended up with a 1506 at 12 games played. I would probably be choking a child after I was done facing our team, however its incredibly fun on our end!
The real PvP started when an old guild mate of mine (who happens to be a resto Druid and on the same server as my Furry) and I decided to make a 2's team. He is one of the highest rated Restos in the BG group and I am.....well lets just say my Druid is sitting on 71 resil >.< At 18 games played we are 15-3 and 1673. Hopefully we can hit 1800's before the week ends. My number one priority is the S3 feral stick, however I definitely want to see this team secede and might pickup a full feral set S3 set in order to achieve that. The catch 22 that I'm sitting in is that in order for me to get high arena points I need resil and I cant get resil unless I have high arena points. The best part about the delemna is that no one wants a feral Druid, so I would have to get Resto PvP gear in order to get arena point so I eventually can get Feral gear..... GAHH. This is going to be like a 4 month investment in order for me to snag up some Furry PvP gear.

- Well, at least you can get your s1 gear for honor. Simply get a full s1 resto set (which at least gets you enough stuff to join pickup 5s easily). Spend your arena points on your feral gear if that's the way your are leaning.

LOL, moonkin is certainly the way to go!!1
This week we pushed the rating to 1789 with 24-4. So if we can get it up to 1850, that should give me enough points to get my feral stick. I just know i can get more points going resto but that will also have me put in alot of time into getting the resto gear too. I'm just going to stick to feral since i think we an push this team to 2k easy.Posted 12-31-2007 at 12:02 PM by Fame
