LFG

The other Homeless Moon folk have wildly outstripped me in posting lately, so I am going for the TKO this evening and catching up on some things I've been meaning to post here. Apologies to those on my LJ who will get it all at once.

Jay Lake's recent post on writer ages reminded me of something I was discussing with pantlessjohnny at last ReaderCon, and later

I really need to know why Michael is obviously a druid. Although he's an elf, for sure. I had you pegged as an elf too, although I never thought to try to assign classes or professions. I'd assume you would be attracted to rogue classes, let me know if I'm wrong.

I nearly always play large races: Barbarian in EQ, and Tauren in WoW. In fact, I played a druid to level 70 in WoW.

There was a time when I could have fallen into a discussion about guilds, females, sociability withing mmorpgs, and gone on for hours. In fact, I did used to do that, so I think I'm currently posted out on the subject. I wish I'd known you about 4 years ago! Not that I'd ever join an elf guild. Sorry, that just isn't me. :)

Mike? The guy who has a mossy skull as his avatar and goes into conniption fits if he has to spend more than five minutes in a mall instead of out among trees? He's about as druid as it gets

Ok, I would have said hunter second for you. As cool as I think pet classes are, I nearly always find controlling the pet and my character to be too challenging. Otherwise, I'd likely pursue that more

Having my own Tauren Druid, I'd have to say you apparently aren't Feral if you don't think a Druid has both Speed and Stealth. ;p Outside in my PvP armor, I can move faster than standard walking speed (107%, I think) while stealthed in Cat form. And I can add Dash or a few other speed bonuses on top of that. And Travel Form (161% with armor bonus) is just a quick shift away... or Epic Flight Form (416% with Trinket) in Outlands.

Of course, I'm back to hybrid Balance/Resto now, so I don't do that as much, but that's the main attraction to me of the Druid class. I don't need to level a new character when I want a new play style, just respec.

You know what's funny about this comment? When I first read it my immediate thought was "huh -- druids must be due for a nerfing."

And sho' 'nough...
