Droods and Spriests
Now that Vishyna and I are very close to 70, I think I can safely say - with at least a little bit of authority - what I’ve been thinking all along.
Feral Druids and Shadow Priests make awesome duos.
We don’t tend to shy away from anything that crosses our path. In fact, I’m eager to attack anything and everything that we see. We usually take down elites without casting any actual heals. Vishyna will use Vampiric Embrace and I do get some health back from Improved Leader of the Pack and that’s usually plenty to get us through most fights.
We did some group quests to finish up Blade’s Edge Mountains last night. With my old Prot Warrior I wouldn’t have even considered doing them without a dedicated healer in the group. Vish and I made them look easy though.
I do need to learn to pay more attention to her health and mana though. The mana part I’m getting better at. She used to always have to remind me to innervate her or let her get the killing blow so Spirit Tap can proc. As a Feral Druid, I can just keep going and going though. One fight after another, with no more than a few seconds in between to get my energy back to at least 80. And I do that quite often, leaving her with no mana. I’m getting better though. Mana is rarely a problem until we fight the big fights.
Health however, I still need to work on. I’m just not used to being able to heal other people other than with First Aid, and that only happened in some extreme cases with my Warrior.
We’ll finish a long string of fights where Vishyna has backed up into some mobs or had some patrols wander into her. We kill them all and I’m ready to go as soon as we’re done looting. Then she has to remind me that she is very close to being dead from the aggro that she had. Then I feel bad because had I not gotten the aggro off of her when I did she probably would have died. And I didn’t even notice.
Now, she could just heal herself. But then she’d have to pop out of Shadowform - which costs 32% of your base mana to cast - then heal herself using more of her mana. Then she’d have to sit and drink to get her mana back.
Or I could just heal her and pop back into Fite form.
We’re well over halfway through 68 now. We’ll be a good bit into 69 by the time we’re done tonight. On Saturday Vish has some studying to do. She’s gonna put me on /follow and I’m going to farm Thick Clefthoof Leather and Netherweb Spider Silk for the both of us. I need about 50 more leathers to finish my clefthoof set and she needs infiniti more netherweb to make… I don’t know, some lame cloth stuff.
Whatever gap we leave between 69 and 70 tonight will be considerably smaller by the time I’m done farming that stuff tomorrow. That means you can expect a post about us doing the Shatari Skyguard and Ogri’la daily prerequisites soon.
