Shifting Perspectives: New Druid Leveling – 6 through 10
Shifting Perspectives: New Druid Leveling – 6 through 10
Every Tuesday, Shifting Perspectives explores issues affecting druids and those who group with them. This week John Patricelli, sometimes known as the Big Bear Butt Blogger, continues the new Druid leveling guide with levels 6 through 10.
So far in our series of Druid leveling tips, we started with preparing to play a Druid, and then covered the basic strategies of levels 1 through 5. Today we’re going to talk a little about weapon skills, Entangling Roots and your first real Druid specific challenge; the level 10 Bear Form quest chain.
Go ahead and dive in after the break!
Status Check; A-OK
In our last article, we covered the basics of using Wrath, Moonfire, the 5 second rule and the concept of a planned combat sequence.
There’s an old saying that no plan survives contact with the enemy, but having a practiced, well thought out approach to handling an enemy lets you free up your concentration for improvisation; once you have the basics down, go mix it up and have some fun.
Try not to get too fixed on one plan, just use your combat sequence as a starting point. Once you are comfortable with your abilities and your timing, experiment. See how fast you can chain your Wraths together, or switch things up and see how far down you can take an enemy with Moonfire spam before you go Out Of Mana. Try different things and you might find a different method of fighting that just feels more comfortable to you. Don’t hesitate to use it!
In our last column, we blasted through levels 1 through 5. Now that levels 6 through 10 await you, things will slow down just a bit. You’ll still probably reach level 10 in one sitting, but along the way you’ll get plenty of opportunities to practice the basics and add new and exciting abilities to the mix.
