Furor! Love it. I probably shift in and out of forms to often just because it’s fun: Moonfire/Farifire then BOOM! Bear Form for Demoralize Roar, then BAM! Cat form with insta 40 energy, then WAM! In and out of Cat form for 40 more energy!
Than I’m OOM, cant heal myself, then die.
Wouldn’t change a thing.
Higher DPS can be a good way to avoid damage, why I started rolling with my Succubus instead of my Voidwalker: She does around 3-4x the DPS which will only increase further with the right talents, and she just deletes things whereas my Voidwalker gently taps whatever he’s fighting and eventually loses aggro anyway due to his low damage
Bear is great for survival, but you may end up taking more damage purely because it’s taking longer for you to kill the threat(s)
lol
Yes, I never played classic wow before, but I realized that right away when I did the exact same thing recently.
If you like shifting a lot, it may be worth going 8 points into balance for the 30% reduced Mana for shifting
It was like that until around level 40 for me. Cat is faster, but you take way more damage than you do in Dire Bear Form (specifically Dire Bear, not just Bear).
Depending on the gear you have, you’ll probably have to shift out to heal every 3-4 mobs, but as a Cat, that happens faster, and the mana cost of shifting out to heal and back in will force you to drink and slow you down more than just killing the mobs slightly slower by using Dire Bear and never needing to drink.
If the mobs are beneath my level, I still go Cat, though, as my Ravage generally brings a mob to 30-50% HP if it crits.
Ty,
I use a lot of cast sequence macros.
That’s what I was wondering if the commands are the same.
I’ve been thinking about it; looking at a real crappy hybrid of 15/whatever’s left/10. You know, that way I can’t do really anything except power shift for days. That’s a long way off, though so plenty of time to figure it out.
And also from bear form. Problem with this macro is it wastes a boatload of mana if you’re spamming it while already in bear form. This works much better:
#showtooltip
/cancelform [noform:1]
/cast [noform:1] Dire Bear Form
/cast [noform:1] Bear Form
Some great druid macros here:
I’d love to see them, am considering druid after I get this mage established at 60.
Never played a druid before (only mage/hunter of the original classes), so anything that helps me not be a total noob is welcome.
I am having the exact opposite experience. In cat form, I am almost dead before the mobs die. I am thinking about switching to bear form, but I can’t find any guides on how to level/dps as a bear. Can you please share your spec/gear that lets kill so quickly without dying?
