A Warrior in Entangling Roots will escape once through trinket. The rest of the time, she’ll be yelling over vent for her support to dispel it or give her Blessing of Freedom. Even a Rogue can only Shadowstep every thirty seconds and Vanish every five minutes. The idea is to break the zerg, trying to keep the Cleave target alive through all means possible and applying pressure on the other end. This is why triple healer teams in 5v5 are painful match-ups for Cleave. Reduces the mana cost of all shape-shifting by 10/20/30%. This is a must for all feral druids, and is handy for anyone who knows how much shifting forms occurs in arena. Is also welcome for when you are forced out of form to decurse or abolish poisons (depending on your form at the time). However, due to the abundance of other talents in the restoration and balance trees which are more readily available, it may be wise to skip this unless you are a WoW Power level raid healing 1/0/60 or 0/0/61 spec.
This guide is useful for both new and experienced players in different ways. For new player, it can help you determine what telents you want to work toward as you level up. And vice versa, the experienced player can find alternate opinions and information on the talents that they have taken for granted, or inforamtion that is useful when considering re-speccng.
At a certain AoC Gold point, the melee opponents will be supremely kiteable through a well-laid Frost Trap or unnoticed Earthbind Totem. Man, I sure am levelling up a lot faster. I knew that Protadin multi-mob tank-grinding was slower than going Ret, but I didn’t know how much slower. Not only is Ret faster, but it’s also a lot more fun. I still plan to go back to Prot when I hit 70, but until then Ret is my spec of choice.
