lvl 32 druid, bought every skill for druid, including cat+bear form skills ($$$ wasted)

It's sad but true , bear form and cat form are near useless.

In general:
1. When in any form you cannot heal yourself, so after a fight and you need healing you gotta switch back to human form.

Forms:
1. Bear is like a weak warrior, you can't take as much damage and don't have as powerful attacks and nothing compares to moonstrike. When switching out of bear form you barely have enough mana to do a full heal on yourself.

2. Cat form is a weak rogue, don't be fooled by faster attacking or slightly higher damage, it cannot compare to the DoT moonstrike (32 dmg every few seconds) while rejuving yourself, and doesn't have as powerful attacks as a rogue.

3. Travel form is the best form and the saving grace of the druid, being able to travel twice as fast can get you out of hairy situations, scan for resources and travel to area's which would otherwise seem really far.

In a party with warriors or casters, i still find myself to be much safer, doing more damage and being much more productive healing or rejuving my teammates being in human form. Both cat and bear are like playing gimped characters and that makes them very difficult to solo a monster, even if it can be done it won't be as profficient as human form.

what is the current travel form cheetah or a bird i hope a bird because in an other forum on worldofwarcraft.com one of the guys that is on of the blizzard staff said that it will maybe be a bird form in higher lvls but only maybe not even the guy from the staff is sure

The bird has been changed to a Cheetah, I would have loved to see a Crow/Bird, I sure hope they change it 8)!

Yeah but in high lvls would rock i wish they to it like that

1.you obviously dont know how to play a druid in shift forms
2.bear is just as good as a warrior in armor and health department and with talents can be just as good
3.and to heal just give them a bash or travel form a bit away and do a quick regrowth and you will be fine

The last postbefore yours was posted before the game came out... so yeah, he wouldnt have known.

hey tomahawk, this post is like 2 years old lol.

go into Forum Options then scroll down to Index Sort and change it to Latest Post then scroll to the bevery bottom and hit save settings. now all these old posts won't be on your front page

mabe ur not spec'd right? at lvl 60 with natural shapeshifting i can shift as much as i want.
bear form i have 7k unbuffed hp and 10k armor. bear form is more of a dmg absorber then a dmg dealer. cat form is a joke atm.

and whats moonstrike :P
