Dear reanimated angst-puppy hero corpses,
Love what you’ve done with the smell, really. The little air freshener attached to the runeblade is a nice touch. Now that I’m in the beta, I’ve had the opportunity group with — conservatively — billions of you. I’ve healed a lot of Death Knight tanks, and tanked for a lot of Death Knight DPS. Most of you seem like cool people, so I say this with sincere love in my little Druid heart and a touch of worry over what will happen in November:
Most of you are awful.
I don’t wish to be needlessly cruel here, mind you, or to overlook that the class is still new. Blizzard endlessly tinkers with you, so it’s not like your rotations haven’t changed, or your talents and skills are stable. And I know you’re not coming to Northrend with a bank full of awesome gear from Burning Crusade. This isn’t about your wearing greens or using the wrong attack or tanking rotation; I’m not even going to bother with the theorycraft surrounding the ideal DPS rotation until Wrath actually ships. But I’m seeing an awful lot of you running around playing as if…almost as if…you haven’t played a tank or a melee class before. It’s uncanny. But when I switched from playing a balance to a feral druid more than a year ago and knew nothing about playing a melee DPS/tank, I made all the mistakes you’re making right now. Help me help you!
