All you do to post an armory link is just copy and paste the URL in the browser.

And for Elitist Jerks, there really is no need to go through all the math or anything. I mean, I just scrolled through the Balance thread and there wasn't one graph of confusing equation that stood out at me. There's always a nice table of contents at the beginning of each thread so you can just go to the info that you need:

I don't play a druid, so I can't help with any specifics.

Just looking through EJ and comparing to your armory and what you've told us ( ... )

Thank you. I appreciate your advice.

While you do replace gear quickly, do pop some gems in them. Green quality gems are very cheap and most any jcer you know should be able to make you some cheapo green quality int and int/other stat gems. Even noncurrent enchants can help and you can find them fairly cheap even if they do only give a tiny boost.

Lacking gems in anything above 333 level is very very likely to get snarky comments from pugs.

I recently did Outland Dungeon Hero, and all the silly little gems I got from that I put in my gear, I just don't want to spend massive amounts of gold on enchants and gems cause I'll get super mad if I replace it the next dungeon run. lol.

I will see if anyone in my guild can give me some green level enchants and such, though, cause I didn't think that it would make a difference, but now I guess every little bit helps :)

Thanks! :)

(Also, my avg ilvl is 350ish, so I get snarky comments all the time. haha.)

The green quality cata gems aren't that expensive and would be alot better than gems from two expansions ago. Do you have professions on your toon? Might not be a bad idea to pick up jcing or enchanting if you don't

While I appreciate you don't want Elitist Jerks material, I also think you're operating under a misunderstanding of what they do. Aside from the more in depth theorycrafting threads they also have a thread with the information you are asking for set out very clearly and readably for the majority of specs. It even has a clicky index so you can find just the right infor you want ( ... )

I have read EJ before, and I know what they have, I appreciate the link though. What I was asking for, in regards to not having to read EJ, was someone to give me a simplified version. Instead of having to wade through a long-winded summary of every single stat wanted, and why you should have it, and exactly what percent of what stat you need, I wanted someone to be like, "Hey, you need stamina and intellect and SP." (That was for example, I know what stats I need ( ... )

If you click that link you'll see an index, it has things like "Spell Rotation: The Short Version", and "Stats", that you can click on and it will take you right there. It quite seriously isn't possible to say it more simply than the information under those headings. Everyone who's given you information has taken it directly out of there in one form or another. It's in very simple English and quite literally not more than 4 lines of text ( ... )

I even said that I don't play a druid (my druid is a whopping 42) and the advice I gave was pretty much copy paste from EJ. If someone that doesn't even really play the class can pick out what's important (all I did was go to the spec, glyph, and rotation headings) I think someone that's actually familiar with the class should also have an easy time with it.

I gotta admit, I'm not sure why you're feeling attacked here. Aside from one admittedly very personal gripe, which happens when you're dealing with human beings who might just misunderstand you, you've gotten solid info and advice. I don't know how this is differing from what you were expecting from what you've been reading? *scratches head ( ... )

Okay, some non-EJ related advice. Your balance spec is definitely out in places. You're losing out 4% spell damage by not being specced down into master shapeshifter in the resto tree, and you're losing 6% intellect increase by not being specced into Heart of the Wild, again resto tree and while it might not seem that much, it all adds up ( ... )
