Before this goes *boom* …

… I have to make a good post before my bandwidth blows. I would like to thank everyone that has emailed me or posted a comment about my site’s bandwidth, I haven’t had a chance to reply at all, but next month I’m going to try to upgrade my account (just can’t do it right now, sorry).

RAWR

Watch out! No pictures on this entry! :P

Since my druid was born, as an alt, the whole idea of him was to be a “support” role. At early levels I focused in the Restoration tree to be able to heal as much as possible, having things like Nature’s Swiftness and Innervate, and I can’t tell you how good I felt by having Innervate. Even after patch 1.8 came live, and druid talents got reworked, I remained with most points in Restoration and the others that were left were in Feral; the basics to be able to tank on instances when it was needed. So far my playstyle has been most PvE (instances) and very, very little PvP.

A couple of days ago a friend was talking to me about his spec, he was 0/30/21, telling me the awesome it was in PvP and the good he could do in PvE, even tho he didn’t have innervate he said he never ran out of mana (which is one of the problems I got). I began investigating and it seems that the build 0/30/21 is one of the most popular among the druid community.

Today is the day. It costed me 20G to respec and try the 0/30/21 build. I wrote down numbers to see what changed, and I’m posting them. Before I was 0/15/36, druid with Innervate (top of Restoration) and up to Feral Charge in the Feral Tree.

Tonight I’ll see if I can try doing a couple of Battlegrounds to see if I notice a difference. My main concern is running out of mana, so lets see how that works. For the record, I did a test and I could regenerate, with the items I got so far, around 3k mana when I used Innervate on myself.
