Every Tuesday, Shifting Perspectives (http://www.wow.com/category/shifting-perspectives/) explores issues affecting Druids and those who group with them. This week, another Ulduar boss dies to moonkin nukes, feral claws, and tree slaps.
Chase Christian (http://www.wow.com/bloggers/chase-christian/) from Encrypted Text (http://www.wow.com/category/encrypted-text/) recently started a series of guides on doing Ulduar as a Rogue, and I must admit that the relative ease and simplicity of describing the role of a pure DPS while raiding is enough to make me sob quietly into a hanky. Meanwhile, I'm driving myself to the nuthouse trying to describe four entirely different roles for a single class. Pardon my saying so, but this column was the hell of a lot easier to write back when we sucked at everything that wasn't healing. Damn you, multi-spec viability! Damn you to HELL!
Before we get started, I'm going to continue what I did with the last Ulduar preview column (http://www.wow.com/2009/05/05/shifting-perspectives-an-ulduar-class-preview-part-3/), link to general strategy guides, and assume you have a basic familiarity with the encounter before delving into more Druid-specific advice. Today we're going to confine ourselves to Freya, as it's one of the few Ulduar fights I have now seen outside of the PTR. With luck, my computer is going to cooperate for a full clear this week plus a few hard modes, so I will be revising (and, as necessary, expanding) our current Ulduar Druid guides to reflect changes that Blizzard has made to the fights and a few notes concerning hard mode issues. Any changes made will be noted in next week's column.Continue reading Shifting Perspectives: An Ulduar class preview, part 4 (http://www.wow.com/2009/06/16/shifting-perspectives-an-ulduar-class-preview-part-4/)
