This is like, WORD-FOR-WORD, the experience I’ve had in Skettis, on my Prot Pally.

There’s just something about Skettis and those trees…

I don’t get it.

oh, forgot, I did a /1 to General “just killed one of those Tree Giants and looted it. Coordinates are XXXX,YYYY, Herbalists, go for it” and got a “tyvm:)” 2 mins later. I may just do this every couple of days now just for the heck of it.

Never hurts to build that rep. Especially if it is SO easy. :)

Love your blog man.

I am not a herbalist, but I was in Skettis yesterday for my daily throw-bombs-at-eggs, and I thought, why not, put your tanking gear on and take on one of those trees. Buffs – check, mana – check (just in case), pots – check.

Funny as hell, I never dropped below 90% hp while doing that tree, I was amazed at just how cool a bear is. Yeah, I already knew that (;-) ), but it just amazes me over and over again on just how much this class rules. In raids, if I am not MT/OT but ‘just dpsing’ (and usually being on #2/#3 of the dps meter), I like to throw a tranquility or spot heals every once in a while if needed, brez someone etc etc..

In short, druids are my favorite class to play in this game. Period. :-)

If anyone ever hangs out on Rexxar and needs a tank or dps, PST to Waldengel.

Or Heilerin, a newbie 27 holy priest that I am leveling for exclusive healing purposes (/shamelessplug:) ).

Again, great blog BBB, enjoying the read every day. ;-)

Im not a skinner, or herbie, i mine and engineer, so i don’t have much experience with this. (primal earth is sooo flaming common on our server that no one would try and ninja a rock kill it just aint worth it) but I think i may go back to kill those trees again to see if anyone trys to ninja herb em. the loot off of those things aren’t that great, ill just let em rot. I enjoy that idea. Its not being an ass to let it rot. your kill your prerogative. now if someone asked me if i were an herbalist… ill loot it for em, but eh i just like messing with people who think they are better than others

BTW im a pally on fethermoon (US) and i love the blog

Oh, and btw BBB, thanks for ninjaing one of my jokes :P -- I used to say that I don't tank because I can't see shit from behind my big bear butt.

Great blog, added.

Replying to Rav’s “herbing is affected by spell haste effects” post.

While I don’t know if haste does affect herbing or not, this kind of thing is usually caused by network latency — you see yourself as the one who starts herbing first, _but so does he_. This is also noticable while capturing a flag in AB.

A funny side-effect of this mechanism is that you can’t possibly run side-by side with someone else — either you or the other person will see the other as being a few feet behind. Try it :)

I guess I have been lucky on both my skinner (my main) and my herbalist (my alt) that I have not experienced the ninjaing of my skins/herb. In fact its usually the other way around where I will team up with someone who is not a skinner/herbalist and we take down the mob, he/she gets the normal loots when its his/her turn, then I clean up the corpse. I have done this with both Alliance and Horde “partners” and they are happy as they get their quest mobs dead faster (like the hunting quests in Nagrand) and I get my skins/herbs.

If someone was to try and ninja my herbs/skins, I would be on the Armory the next minute researching their guild then reporting their worthless ass to their guildmaster. I have done this with persistent beggars (just be because I have the numerals 7 and 0 next to my name doesn’t mean I am an ATM) before.
