Some moonkin use Typhoon as a dps-booster when they have to move.<br /><br />If I know I'm going to have to move a lot, I'll refresh dots early.<br /><br />Some moonkin also use a run speed enchant of some kind instead of Icewalker to make sure that when they do have to move, they spend as little time as possible doing it.<br /><br />You can also try to save abilities like Starfall if you know a movement phase is coming up soon.<br /><br />It's probably harder for moonkin to be competitive, but it's not impossible. Keep trying!Hanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020803566446071455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619335672953217109.post-77899150874675258532010-03-17T22:10:31.246-07:002010-03-17T22:10:31.246-07:00My fav toon is my Moonkin, I have raided with her ...My fav toon is my Moonkin, I have raided with her quite a bit. But lately her dps is always at the bottom of the dps range.. I have tried so many spec variations and none seem really clear to be a real winner. I am getting discouraged and when i whisp to get in on raids... people are actually hesitant for a boomkin... I am not sure what to do because she has never been this far behind before.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02209062227007760104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619335672953217109.post-74181823462963228622010-02-25T13:08:16.319-08:002010-02-25T13:08:16.319-08:00Hehe... yeah, I love being a druid. :) Being a mo...Hehe... yeah, I love being a druid. :) Being a moonkin is just part of it.<br /><br />And moonkin really bring a lot of buffs to the table! I don't think there's another spec that can do quite so much.Hanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020803566446071455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619335672953217109.post-32627867310305088112010-02-24T07:07:12.843-08:002010-02-24T07:07:12.843-08:00I've heard the rumblings, too, but honestly I ...I've heard the rumblings, too, but honestly I don't buy it. I just started to play my moonkin/resto druid as my raiding character (Makes me a newbie such as you describe!) and I wouldn't have dropped my mage if I felt it would hurt our strictly tens guild. <br /><br />As it stands, yes my DPS is lower than it was as a mage, but much of that can be attributed to gear differences and at least one crappy ilevel 200 trinket, as well as simply getting accustomed to the playstyle. But moonkin bring such incredible utility - the crit buff, Earth and Moon, spell haste - that otherwise our raid would be lacking. So I view it as a class that's boosting everyone else too, iin a way that being an arcane mage just wasn't. My DPS since switching characters to a lesser-geared one I'm not used to playing has been decent, and I expect it will only get better as I personally get better at playing and upgrade a few key pieces. Meantime, I can be resto for fights where we need a third healer. In not-so-short, being a druid = awesome. But clearly you already knew! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
