BBB, Talented is great. It lets you import builds from Wowhead or…um…another one I can’t remember for some reason, by pasting the URL into the template. You can nab builds off people you inspect, and you can set a goal, and it will fill the tree as you level.

I haven’t misspent talent points like that, but I did run into Azeroth’s Most Obscure Bug back at 2.0 when we got mangle… Druids talent points were refunded and I didn’t realize until halfway through a fight. While I was running back to my body, I went through and respeced… had everything exactly the way I wanted, with mangle and omen of clarity and everything… except mangle wasn’t in my spellbook. And OOC wasn’t procing.

Turns out, at the time, if you respeced while dead, it only read 31 of your talent points. They said it was a known problem and that they’d fix it for me… a week later, I got tired of waiting and paid to respec (25g was a lot of money back then. :P ) and right after I did they sent me an email saying they were glad they could help.

roflmao … great story! Thanks so much for this great blog. I’m raising up a feral druid and want to tank/heal, so this is just awesome stuff. I’ll be checking back ad nauseum … hope you’re feeling better …

Mage tank ftw

Haha, oooh, how I've been there before. The joy of getting all the talents you've dreamed of kind of fades when you notice you don't have the one's you actually need. It feels good tho, before you know you've been the dumbest respeccing person in Azeroth. .-= Naïve´s last blog ..Goodbye for now =-.

I’d say I found the perfect Feral spec. When Ulduar first got released, and we made our way in in a mix of T7s and iLvl200 &213 epics (and crafted shoulders and belt!), I was Meat Shield for Razor, XT, Kolo, Auria , Thorim and with a gear switch (off spec gear) was pulling 3.5K+ dps on Hodir and Mimiron. Which is great, cos I get to use my dual spec for healing for relatively easy runs like OS10.

It’s wonderful how, with a bit of tweaking how a druid can perform credibly in anyrole (cept of ranged DPS, I still haven’t figured that one out yet).

I did that on my DK the other day. “Oh, hey, I got all those, and that, and.. nice!”

I was a DW DK who forgot to take the regular DW hit talents. -.-;

When you first said you couldn't hit wild growth, I thought it might be a problem I've been having recently. I use healbot, and usually just have to right click a name to toss Wild Growth on the neediest and nearest people. Lately though, if I have a target that is dead, or out or range, Wild Growth won't work. It just doesn't happen. I have to deselect whatever target I have before I can get it to work. I try to remember not to target things, but it really gets annoying on fights like Paletess where she randomly targets me, and then I auto target her, and then I suddenly can't get my heals off. Bleh. Another guild member says he has the same problem, so it's not just isolated to me. Anyway, awesome story. I don't pug, and I tend not to respec very much. But it's probably about time I went and re did my tanking and tree specs! .-= gmazeroth´s last blog ..Yogg-Saron. Finally Defeated. =-.

/breaks out old person cane Back in my day, we had to heal without wild growth, nourish, or lifebloom. We had to heal with downranked healing touches so we didn't run out of mana. Having all the newer healing spells is like driving a luxury car compared to the beat up old pinto skills I used to heal with... .-= Lissanna´s last blog ..Responsnse to Altosis’ post about raid role switchers. =-.
