One Druid, Many Worlds

More Druid Patch Notes

Patch 3.0.8 has been updated on the Public Test Realm with Build 9464 which has a small change for Balance Druids:

Clarification on Improved Faerie Fire effects

Ghostcrawler confirmed that the Balance Druid’s Improved Faerie Fire talent will add its 3% crit increase to your spells on a target with Faerie Fire (normal or Feral FF) regardless of who cast FF.

Your Faerie Fire and Feral Faerie Fire spells also increase the chance the target will be hit by spell attacks by 3%, and increase the critical strike chance of your damage spells by 3% on targets afflicted by [anyone's] Faerie Fire or Feral Faerie Fire.

Guide to +hit off-hand items for Balance Moonkin Druids raiding in Wrath

The FlashofMoonfire blog took a look at off-hand Moonkin Balance items with +hit the other week after scoring the Surplus Limb in Naxx-10.

Check out the post to see if you agree.

Is Improved Mangle worth the talent points?

Kalon at WoWThinkTank makes a case against Improved Mangle for both bears (in the article) and cats (in the comments). There’s a lot of math involved, but the bottom line is the recent improvements to Swipe‘s threat generation make the points invested into iMangle less important.

Naxx-10 Tanking guides & DPS Cooking food

Bloodarrow, a Belf Hunter, compiled two interesting posts:

• A list of links to all of TankSpot‘s Naxx-10 raid boss tanking instructional videos
• A guide to Cooking recipes for L80 Hunters that will be of interest to feral druids as well since it covers food with high attack power/agility/strength/haste/crit stats.
