Maybe now is a good time to take a break before wotlk, it will seem all the more fresher when you start up again!

As for not being excited for Wrath…
I think that being viable and reasonable DPS will be great.
Lower armor will be pants but i still think that we will make great tanks, beserk cool down has been reduced (for a second time) to the point where i will use it at the start of a pull to get multi mob agro and can still use it a second time for those ohh S**T moments..

But druids aside, just the new content and opportunity to explore is what im looking forward to most. Sometimes i think that class discussion can take away from the actual joy of gaming!

Tesh, I love Burnout Revenge. When I infrequently sit down to play video games other than WoW, I usually either pop in Burnout, or Guitar Hero 2.

As far as The Force Unleashed….

I was super excited RIGHT UP until the second they decided not to release it for PC.

I have a lot of gaming systems… but I don’t have a PS3 or Xbox 360. And I have yet to read any reviews of it on Wii.

But that’s okay, I watched Speed Racer last night, and now I feel reinvigorated.

Hey, if you haven’t seen Speed Racer… let me tell you, I thought the entuier first half was horribly boring, but once you hit this one point, where bad guys try to stop Speed and two other racers (won’t say who) from competing by breaking into their hotel rooms and taking them out… wow, what an explosion of awesome.

I was seriously ready to stop watching, I actually was only still watching because I had already invested that much time in, so I was determined to finish it… and then there is this one moment, when John Goodman (pops) is holding a bad guy, and you get a close up of the bad guy looking at what is written on John Goodman’s ring… and from then on, I was laughing so hard Cassie was ready to come over and pound me. From that moment on, I actually thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the film.

One of those things where there was just one moment that won me over and made me cut them all the slack they could want.

Manny, if you haven’t seen it… watch it, and just trust me. It’s finally, eventually, worth it.

Don’t feel too bad, burnout tends to happen no matter what precautions are taken to avoid it. IMO, the druid’s real time to shine will be whenever the exp for the Emerald Dream pops up. Lorewise anyways. I’d be nice to see what Ysera and Malfurion are doing exactly. <= Is a total geek.

I have to share some of the same sentiments though regarding druids. However, I do like some of the changes to balance. Boomkin here. Also, here hasn’t been any final passes made yet to any of the classes so there’s room for more improvement in the future. Two months worth at least. At the same time, I am totally ecstatic for my ret pally. Even in its current nerfed form it feels good to play. Better than vanilla by miles.

Oh, and since I forgot it earlier… I find the PS2 game “Burnout Revenge” to be excellent therapy, for a couple of reasons, and for several symptoms. :D

It’s pre-expansion blues. Like those seasonal depressions. Totally with you, Bear.

Luckily, I have a little pallymadin to get to 70 before the expansion hits, so I have something to switch it up.

Roll over to DI and I’ll set you up with some instance runs :) Ask Ratters, it’s all I do for people lately is run them through things! It’ll be fun, I’ll bring a picnic basket and a sexy polearm.

I too started a druid after reading 3B’s blogs. Very very happy with Feral druid. I took 3 weeks off from WOW before I started leveling my druid, and only started playing again because of a friend who pointed me here. I might have stayed off line until the expansion, if even then.

So I’m working on my Pally now, and my little shammy. There is always something new. It is FUN to login now, and since the guildies are GREAT, it is all a WIN WIN. WOW is fun again after 6 months of thinking of leaving WOW for good.

Like a lot of people have said, I think taking a break may not be a bad idea. Switching off the PC and doing something else altogether doing something else in WoW. There is somewhere on that line that will suit you I’m sure.

If you get fed up with your durid and main another class that gives you satisfaction, I would be just as happy seeing you write about that. BBB to me is your writing and much more than a druid blog, so whatever you are writing about I will be sure to be reading =)

I found this blog a few weeks ago and subscribed, b/c I enjoyed reading it. I’m really tired of hearing all the whining though, and we’ll be moving on to some other druid blog. It started with the post griping about having to relearn what gear, stats, etc to get. Why do you want to keep playing the same game? It’s a new expansion with new things to learn and do! That’s why I play; but I can’t speak for you. Tanking will still be tanking. People will always need tanks. On my server at least, players don’t pick and choose very much. They don’t care if it’s pally or druid or warrior or whatever. Sorry to rant, but this post just broke the camel’s back for me. (No I didn’t read all the comments…flame away)
