Subject: about the druids firepower
In reply to: Ras 's message, "X-roads tactics taken to the next level" on 03:12:53 08/23/05 Tue

the druid is not that good in offensive casting. a balance specced druid can do quite well, but even so he will never reach the offensive power of a mage.

for a healer / alrounder like me - 31 restoration (healing tree) / 11 feral (for the bear-charge) / 9 balance (for better root mainly) - there is no sense in trying to cast them down.
the best dmg I can do with the best offensive druid spell (starfire, 3 sec cast I think, maybe even 3.5 sec) is around 800 when critted. thats not too bad, but the crit rate is ridiculous when not specced in balance tree. if not critted, then its 400ish.

of course 2 moonfires from 2 diff druids (the DoT spell, quite nice) can bring fleeing foes who are down to 1/3 of their life easily. however, as it is DoT, it will take some time.
and the faerie fire is quite important too as it keeps rogues from vanishing for 45 secs and dampens the armor for quite a huge amount. so its worth to be cast on at least all the MTs plus the rogues you can find if youre a druid (it seems, however, as if I am the only HC druid that can read here so nvm ;)

well in the end it comes to healing for us in the big fights, maybe bear if we lack warriors or stealthing with the rogues behind the enemy lines and then keeping them alive (backstab crits in cat-rogue form are 1100ish to casters so not bad, afterwards caster form and keep the rogues alive).

so I'd say if we have enough priests in the battle, we should form at least 1 team of 3 rogues and 2 druids or something that take out the casters right from behind ;)
the other 2 - 3 teams fight their front, and when their healers are worn down by the stealthers victory is ours even faster! :) wont work 5 times in a row tho probably, but we could try that at least every 2nd attack.

ras already had the idea of that stealth team, but as I was thrown in between groups every 5 - 10 mins I couldnt really form up something...

okie have fun,
Kylara
