PvE professions

Professions are always the hot subject and I figured it would be a good time to talk a bit about them. The guide has a gaping hole in it where “Professions” are supposed to be.

Which profession is best? Well, when it comes to professions, there is a short answer, and a long answer. The short answer is, they all are. All of the crafting professions will give you roughly the same bonus, and if you are not too concerned about min/maxing, whatever you take is probably fine. When talking about the gathering professions however, only really skinning gives a valuable bonus – crit. Herbalism gives a heal and mining gives you more health, and while both a good, they are very situational, and probably not worth much compared to the damage you can get from skinning.

Some people take one crafting and one gathering profession. The latter would be to compliment your crafting, as to save money and be self sufficient. Others, myself included, level up two crafting professions, but this is obviously costly, because you need the materials from somewhere. The cheapest version of these are tailoring and enchanting, where all items can be farmed without a gathering profession.

But when it comes to bonuses, if you are not too concerned about squeezing out that extra +2 spell power, just take whatever you enjoy playing with. But if you want the most out of your two professions, its a whole different matter.

Draw a Druid competition

To celebrate the blog nearly almost reaching its “10.000 visitors per month” mark, I thought it would be funny to make up a competition. And because I am getting an artist to make over the site with some cool drawings, I thought it would be a great idea to make a drawing competition!

And what can you win in this outstanding drawing competition? You can win your very own, very shiny, very prestigious Retarted Celestial Steed! That’s right, get your very own horse of the stars! The rules of the competition are as follows:

  • Anybody can enter, druids and non druids.
  • Image must be of a druid, in any form or shape, and in any situation you feel like depicting.
  • Winner is picked based on effort, not skill. As long as you can make a circle with a pencil, you have a shot at winning!
  • If you already have a Retarted Horse, give the code to someone else or – upon your request – trade it in for a buyable combat pet.
  • To submit your image, post a link in the comment section below. Be sure to add your e-mail (can only be seen by me) in the field as well.
  • Winner will be picked by me, and announced on the blog. The winner will also get a notification by e-mail.
  • Contest will end on the 8th of August at 12.00 CET!
  • One price, one winner.

So get out your paints and start colouring them lines. Obviously, while it may lower your chances to win, I’d like a lot of weird, funny and different submissions, so please do share a link to this competition with your friends – especially if you’ve enjoyed reading the blog so far.

To start it off, here is my submission. Don’t worry, you don’t have to draw as professionally as myself, and no, I can’t win my own competition!

How’s it going, Qieth?

You know, when I’m not posting blogs on all of the moonkin changes in Cataclysm, I play this little game called World of Warcraft. Maybe you’ve heard of it.

So I figured, it might be a good idea to give you guys an update to what I’ve been doing, what I’ve been thinking, what I’ve been messing with.

Progression, gear, professions, money making. This is getting crazy!

New, new eclipse

I really wanted to join in on the Blizzard developer chat on Twitter. I was waiting up for it to start, only to fall asleep on the couch 30 minutes before it was supposed to start. Waking up 8 hours later, the chat was over and out, but at least I could read the logs. I had a few questions that I wanted answered, so I guess I’ll post them here. Ghostcrawler, could you be a sport and reply when you read this? (well, one can dream, right?)

What I really want to know is:

  • Do we get to keep moonkin form as a permanent shapeshift, or are you planning to empose the same deal on us as with restoration druids?
  • Will we get more choices for customization than what we have in our current talent tree?
  • Will there be more options in the restoration tree, rather than the current 5 points we can put in?
  • Will balance and restoration always be tied to each other, or might we ever see options in the feral tree for our last 10 talent points?
  • What’s the deal with Nature’s Grace?

In any case, Blizzard did answer a lot of questions, but some of them very quite vague. There was no questions about our moonkin form, which means that either nobody was concerned about us maybe losing our forms, or that they didn’t answer because they haven’t decided.
