Latest on Mon, 10:14 amSunfyre: Not really, but treants get worse.
Jim: Hey Sunfyre. I get the legendary Meta soon. Does anything Major change when i get to gem? Statweights, Playstyle. thx
Sunfyre: When you hit 0 energy, in 5.1, you'd go to 20 energy. + 40 energy from one cast to 60 energy, + 40 energy from cast #2, that's 100 energy. Now you go from 0 energy to 40 energy. Cast #1 brings you to 80. Cast #2 is still required, and it brings you to 100 energy (which is really 120 but you get nothing for that extra energy). The amount of casts did not change. 2.
gore: Wait, what you just said doesn't make sense. What makes us go straight to 20 energy? With SotF it takes 2 casts to reach lunar. 2 casts to reach solar. Without SotF it takes 3, correct me if i'm wrong.
S: Sorry, I don't understand where your getting the 20 from, 100 80 60 40 20 0 40 80 100 or sotf 100 80 60 40 20 0 (40 sf + 40 sotf) 80 120 ??
Madnz: Hi sunfyre, how would you say the 4p t15 will be with SoTF? Does that also maybe make mastery more valuable?
Sunfyre: You already go 20-Lunar, 60, 100. Going 40-80-100(120) is the same amount of casts to hit 100.
Cohumulone: Hey Sunfyre. I'm trying to wrap my head around what you've been saying about SotF. How exactly does it not reduce Starfire casts by 1?
Braeden: Started a Druid....3 days ago or something like that.... Anyways i got to lvl 60 and im not using gear SETS so much as im using the things that look especially helpful such as Int and Spir Stacke, Occasionally with some 14-15 haste involved..... Im not one of those guys who go out and get the best pve/pvp gear But i really need some help..... im a resto balance mix and well my hits are only doing about 5K at lvl 60 :/ what sohuld i do?
Sunfyre: SoTF wasn't much of a buff. It didn't reduce starfire casts to lunar, and only reduced wrath casts by potentially one. I'd stick with incarnation.
Moonkin Count!

Almost. I have four pieces of tier 9, two waiting in my bank, but i would very much like to get the heroic Illumination (horde) from Twin Val’kyrs. It has never, ever dropped for us, and the added crit would be very nice indeed.
If 3.3 hits without me getting any more upgrades (I doub it), i will put on my 4pt9, switch Band of the Invoker for heroic Firestorm Band. I will lose 80 spellpower, gain 17 haste (total 25 over haste cap) and lose about 0,75% crit, but i can live with that change.
Its quite important to me that my stats are balanced, but I just cant get any less haste with my current options

I’m as ready as I can be. Unfortunately, my feral is my main, so Xiera won’t be seeing as much time as I’d like, but she’s ready nonetheless. 4T9 ready to go, hit-capped (I had to gem for hit because I was planning around 2T8/2T9). Hell, I’ve already chosen my order for upgrading. I’m pretty excited. Whether it happens this week or not, I’m ready.
December 7th, 2009 on 10:15 am
I’m ready for patch 3.3!
December 7th, 2009 on 10:24 am
Yep, missing 3 pieces of Resto 245 tho, got my 3 trophies but no emblems :p, but the Moonkin part is 100% ready, a couple of Upgrades could drop (the Boots from 25H Beasts and neck from Valkyrs and a hundred items from Anub, but we’re stuck on Valkyrs
).
So, let it come!

Akutsito, I’m wearing 2 pieces of my moonkin Tier 9 set for healing after the patch hits, anyway… since the resto sets have a LOT less haste rating on ‘em.
December 7th, 2009 on 11:21 am
Lissanna, isnt the 4pc Resto Bonus AMAZING?, or im just over-valuating it? (i usually dont check numbers for resto, so i might be WAY off here).
December 8th, 2009 on 8:34 am
We got Heroic Anub down in our final pre-patch raid, so we’re ready.
I put my 2 T8 in the bank last night, and logged in my 4 T9. My main gear regret is not getting Anub’s trinket, but it only dropped for us once. :/
December 10th, 2009 on 8:57 am
I’ve got 2 pc 9.45 and 2 pc 9.32, and mostly 245 gear all around, and except for my badge neck, not too damn bad, considering we don’t raid Heroic modes.
