It helps a lot not having to kite them and just sit them in a spot where the melee can go kill 'em. Tanking P2 of Vashj is also really fun for me, but yeah...it's not the main boss.<BR/><BR/>And sadly, it only gets worse in Hyjal/BT. I've had to really work on my cat gear simply because I'm not tanking at all on the majority of the fights, and when I do tank it's either some gimmick fight (Akama), some stupid offtank thing (Supremus) or random other crap. Though if you have the priests Archimonde is really great to tank. T6 is just really poorly designed for multiple tanks, and as a result you end up doing DPS a lot more.Kalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193899462301079034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634943682265586439.post-35637313086368573642008-06-12T11:20:00.000-07:002008-06-12T11:20:00.000-07:00@respecsIt is true- respec a druid to resto and yo...@respecs<BR/><BR/>It is true- respec a druid to resto and you have a new toon.

If I...Meh, shadowmage never really appealed to me. If I wanted to spam the same button all the time, I'd gear up the mage. Kirari will always be affliction, most likely, unless I decide to try out Felguard.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, I'm not undergeared for the instance on Kirari, but I am behind the gear curve compared to my guildmates. I have FSW and the Belt of Blasting (No spellstrike though, as I use my head and legs for my 2-piece T4). I can certainly hold my own and contribute (and do when I get to go as the 'lock), but I have no hope of catching up to those who have been raiding warlocks from day 1.<BR/><BR/>As for respeccing. . . theres a very good chance I'll be a tree in the expansion with Surania. Might even level boomkin, just to say I did. But all of my gear is tanking gear, so any respeccing I did now would only be for a few days at a time.<BR/><BR/>All very valid points, however.SuraBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16032638801256115996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634943682265586439.post-67710164662964881742008-06-12T06:03:00.000-07:002008-06-12T06:03:00.000-07:00Sorry to hear you are having trouble in getting in...Sorry to hear you are having trouble in getting interest in your bear tank. Since it sounds like you have great gear, why not try tanking in your cat form, with your bear gear. I have done that and it makes it quite fun and interesting if you are just on add duty. <BR/><BR/>Also, AFAIK if you get the Frozenshadow Weave Set, Spellstrike Set and Belt of Blasting, you would actually be overgeared for SSC TK as upgrades for locks in that crafted gear doesn't come until T6 content. So if you really wanted to switch to Shadowbolt spam bot, you could do that and be right on par for damage in your runs.<BR/><BR/>--ValthanJasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450434314880852652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634943682265586439.post-84733726412948880902008-06-12T05:38:00.000-07:002008-06-12T05:38:00.000-07:00Like delaraga said it feels like a new character w...Like delaraga said it feels like a new character when you respec. I've been going resto now and again since I never ran Kara with a resto druid and have a lot of resto leather (and I picked up the 2 hand staff from the second ZA timed chest event!) and I just picked up the spell-damage blade from Prince which has given me some incentive to go boomkin one of these days for the heck of it before expansion.<BR/><BR/>I do want to get my spriest to 70, but I'm still having fun with my druid; just don't fill it into one role because that's not what a druid was made for! =DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634943682265586439.post-70208053567358893672008-06-12T04:00:00.000-07:002008-06-12T04:00:00.000-07:00I was the same way with my Druid until last week. ...I was the same way with my Druid until last week. It hit me, I can respec moonkin. So thats exactly what I did. It's like having a new toon. I started doing pvp and bought some leather pvp starter gear from the Cenerian Expedition.I'm usually top 6 in the killing blows and damage done in Alteric Valley. I love the moonkin now.Anyways its just a suggestion and you can always respec back to Ferral.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634943682265586439.post-17827218160711075092008-06-12T00:04:00.000-07:002008-06-12T00:04:00.000-07:00I feel your pain, only in my case i'm bored of my ...I feel your pain, only in my case i'm bored of my Hunter. When TBC got out i was bored with him aswell and almost mainswitched to my Warrior (prot) but i didn't. The Hunter was fun for a while with the new stuff but now once again im bored with him.<BR/><BR/>I'm considering mainswitching at the next expansion aswell but not sure to pick my Warrior or my Shaman... or even my Warlock who is Horde in contrary to the other toons. Quite a debate inside my head going for some time now...Exanimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733030970290731964noreply@blogger.com
