Well, I'm trying to decide on something, and I'd love some input. I've got my 29 druid, and he's fine and all, but I'm just not finding the "love" with him in WSG or AV's. In WSG I'm either healing or the FC (something I do waaaaay too much in the 19's) and in AV I'm usually running around healing, and not much else. And because he’s a druid, (or maybe because he’s a bit to complex for me ;P) I’m not really viable in a DPS role. Since my GF already has a 29 at my 2nd choice (a shaman) I’m seriously contemplating wrenching my soul from my chest and rolling….. a Hunter (I already have the BoA mail shoulders on a leveling alt, so that’s part of the equation).
So, my questions are:
1) Should I stick with my Druid and continue to try to find a play style I like, or scrap it and roll a new hunter
2) If I do roll a hunter, what are your thoughts on the best alliance race: Draenei, Dwarf or Night Elf?
3) Is the Bone Bow a viable weapon for the 29’s?
Thanks in advance!
I couldn't find either of your toons in the armory, so I can't look at your druid, but since I have a feral 29 myself, as well as a hunter, I'll add my input.
If you're wanting to DPS in feral at 29, stay away from anything not cloth, if you're alone. I have 419 AP in cat form with my druid, yet he only does 47-58 a swing, thus fighting a mail twink is a severe uphill battle. Don't mess with twink hunters, rogues, or shamans while solo, any of their specs combined with moderate competency are better than us Ferals.
General tips would be to always use your bleed moves, always move in stealth, and always stay in a group. Ferals aren't a rambo class, and as such you shouldn't bite off more than you can chew, stick to taking out healers, mages, locks, and any lowbies or regular players. You may not be taking out big twinks all the time, but you are keeping enemy numbers dwindled.
Also, for WSG, if you've specced to increase your cat forms running speed to 30%, you can easily chase down and kill most lone flag runners, since they're usually more concerned about running than fighting.
As for the hunter questions, Race comes down to this:
NE-Increased Dodge, Shadowmeld
Dwarf-Increased Gun Dmg, Stoneform
Draenei-Gift of Naaru, Chance to hit Increased by 1%
I'm a Night Elf, since I like to defend with an ambush tactic(my pet is a cat), placing my pet by the flag/node and cloaking it, while I shadow meld in the distance. This usually attracts a lone enemy to come try to cap the node, or take the flag, my pet engages them when they get close enough, and since I'm not in sight they attack my pet. Then I just unload, and most enemies are killed before they even see me.
Stoneform is great because it removes poisons, and less importantly bleeding effects. When a rogue(typically the bane of a Hunter if they're smart) hits you with crippling poison, you a free get away card without using your trinket or disengage.
Gift of Naaru is a heal over time, obviously a good choice if you don't have someone to heal for you, but compared to the others, I'd say its not the best for a hunter.
Others have already answered your bow question, so I'm done. Sorry for the long response. To think this is my first post.
Anything else concerning Feral Druids, or Hunters at 29, I'd be happy to help.
