Advanced Gameplay and work in progress

As promised I will soon release an Advanced Gameplay Guide that covers my entire experiences, reactions, habits and common mistakes in a PVE environment. I know Cataclysm is coming in about 3-4 months, but I think it's important to do this before the expansion as it will be much easier to understand and adapt to all the changes and new mecanisms.

We could call this a "How to" but, besides many things that are considered as correct by the druid community, some points are still subject to discussion.

I'm currently working on the post and I try not to make it too long to keep it interesting. It will most likely contain (and maybe more) :
- Best throughput oriented rotation : 5x1
- When not to use it
- How to adapt it and common adaptations
- Tank healing VS raid healing VS tank and raid healing
- Pre-emptive healing
- Nourish vs Regrowth : casted spells
- Why and How to use Lifebloom
- Regen in raid : multiples alternatives
- Choose the right target
- Be well prepared
- Focus target and UI uses
- Survivability
- Useful macro

In addition to this post, I'm working on other related topics :
- Grid configuration
- How to read logs
- How to recruit a resto druid
- Progress and new content : how to make wipes useful
- Pvp guide

As I said, Cataclysm is coming. That's why after this post, I will concentrate a lot more on the next extension and will cover all changes, share experiences and concerns, anticipate new ways to play and consider raid role with cross class teamplay.


I also added some screenshots of Deepholm, Twilight Highlands and Uldum in the Cataclysm section.

- Stay tuned -
