Are you attending BlizzCon this year?  If not, are you attending the ‘virtual BlizzCon’?

Since I took a hiatus, counts have been a little low.. I’m thinking of maybe giving away a virtual BlizzCon ticket as a small surprise sometime in the next few weeks….

 Did the Cataclysm Druid preview give you hope, or more cause for concern? 

The blog has been a bit slow, not a whole lot to report.  I expect that’ll ramp up in the next few weeks.  The calm before the cataclysm.

Blizzcon 2010 has just been announced.  Will you be attending?  I think I may have to go this year.

Question of the Week:  Do you plan on using the [Glyph of Starfall] in 3.3.3 if you aren’t currently?  How about the [Glyph of Focus]?

I haven’t sat down and theorycrafted a whole lot on the glyph of focus, and whether it’s worth dropping [Glyph of Moonfire] or [Glyph of Starfire], but I’ve decided not to pick it up, and here is my reasoning:

While Starfall is going to be a great boost to all of our DPS, and a 20% boost would be nice, the place it’s going to really shine is Blood Beasts on Heroic Saurfang (as the main star component is not treated as an AoE), as well as Lich King (it’ll do some massive AoE and splash damage to the Vile Spirits).  Cutting the range by 50% would really counter-act that, and I believe really cut into the utility of the spell.

I’m already using [Glyph of Starfall] and definitely will be going forward.

What do you guys plan on using?

What one thing would you like to see changed for balance druids in Cataclysm?  Being that it’s a cataclysm, I’d like to see the balance tree completely overhauled.  Specifically, the cap issue needs to be addressed, both with haste and crit.

Question of the Week:  What in Lich King will you miss when Cataclysm launches?  I personally wish they would have done more with the Wyrmrest Temple.  Initially they had planned on doing more dragonflights then just Obsidian, but it never materialized.

Blizzard Authenticator.  Do you use it?  Which do you use?  The key fob or the Mobile Authenticator for iPhone/iPod touch?  Will the new Core Hound Pup convince you to use one?

Personally, I tried the iPhone app, but was not happy with how long it took to load and display a code.  When I randomly disconnect from the server, especially if it were to happen in a raid, I don’t want to have to run all over my house looking for my phone.  I still subscribe to the age old adage of “don’t share your password with anyone, and don’t download anything janky that could have a keylogger in it”.  It seems to work well for me.

If you haven’t seen the Core Hound Pup, here’s a video of it, courtesy of MMO Champion:  (not sure why it says Perky Pug)

I know we’re just starting Icecrown, but here’s a question regarding Cataclysm:

Do you plan on playing your druid as a main in Cataclysm? Are you willing to stick with balance? Will you race change to troll/worgen if it becomes available?

Personally, I’ll never play another main class besides druid, and I enjoy balance. I would LOVE to play a Worgen.
