My first cat

Raaff as a feral druid, what a change. In my 4,5 years of playing a druid I was always healing. In vanilla World of Warcraft it was mandatory to heal as a druid in raids (go look at the tier set bonuses). That changed a bit in The Burning Crusade: cat, bear and mookin became viable specs. The creation of Tree of Life and Lifebloom made healing very interesting and quite cool. Still no interest from Raaff into other specializations.

For leveling in Wrath of the Lich King I used moonkin to level, since my healing gear was quite nice for it. It was not optimal, but it was way better then questing in restoration spec. While dual-talents are made for druids most people agree that it makes playing so much more fun and finding pugs easier. It made me delve into a spec I never would have tried before: Feral Combat, cat.

Cat specialization is one of the hardest things to master in my opinion. But when you do your likely to churn out some nice dps. Although I have much to learn. Being in melee range took some getting used too, mind you I have been ranged for most of my playing time. I seem to loose a lot of dps not doing any dps while I search for placement and survival. Other raid members seem to cope fine with it, but to me its entirely new world. Eventually I will get the hang of it, as I did with cat spell priorities.

Most fun of being a cat is the theorycraft part, agility or armor penetration, stacking hit or not? I see some posts for the future!

Any pointers are welcome, I am still learning….
