Earth and Moon (Tier 10) changed so your Wrath and Starfire spells have a 100 chance to apply the Earth and Moon effect. It now also increases your spell damage by 1/2/3/4/5. (Previously had a 20/40/60/80/100 chance to apply the Earth and Moon Effect)

As in, your crits do 210 of your regular hits instead of 200 damage.

Druid Trainer: No RareBeast. I'm trying to tell you that when you have read the Feral Druid Numbers thread, you won't have to.

You come here to the Druids forums, so you have to expect people to recommend Druid over Pally in general. You should tell us what would interest you, because while both classes are very different, they are also similar as they can fill almost the same roles. The only difference is that Druid is the most hybrid of all classes in the sense that they can spec for all 4 roles (Tank, healer, MDPS, RDPS) whereas a Pally can only spec for 3 (Tank, healer, MDPS).
If you want a class just to

Haste rating and all that jazz for Resto Druids after patch

For the most part I don't see a big change in the way I handle haste except that I have to have ~2x as much of it before reaching the softcap.
That being said a lot of the decision will be based on the encounters in IC. Ulduar was king of HoT-rolling and what not, 95 + of our healing would frequently come from HoTs. Fast forward to ToC and the raid damage is more spikey, and less evenly distributed. Meaning more crittable and less WG/RJ spam.
I'll probably run the first couple

I'm not Arex, but I believe Treants should be used right when you engage the boss, along with Starfall to increase your casting speed (because it crits and procs Nature's Grace).
You spam Wrath first because you'll get in more hits and thus crits in the same amount of time, enabling you to start the Eclipse cycle faster than if you started out with Starfire. Or something. It's been ages since I paid attention to Balance the descendants, salute the descendants, of King Canute.

2 questions: pet training and profession

{ No Comment }

Yes, there's a limit to TP's for the pet. Just pay to reset later on, if you need to change. For now, don't worry about it.
I'd save them, except for bite maybe. And maybe Stam and Armor. Don't go into resists unless you pvp a ton. Then ... I you want frost to help pet not be frost nova'd, arane not to be sheeped, and shadow not to be feared, maybe nature not to be rooted by druids.
Engi is most useful if you pvp (in fact it's almost a must - it's so good in BG's and pvping).

New Hunter weapon question

ashbazg wrote:I would say stick with the 2-h wep (if you can get 2 1-h wep that gives better stats take em ). The reason to stick with 2-h wep is that it gives a larger amount of dps on raptor strikes and wing clips. As being a hunter, the only time you should use your melee wep is when your trying to get back to range (run in, wing clip - back to range).
Btw - you should change your wep as fast as possible. You need a wep that gives agility, attackpower and int - not str and stam. I

Learning New Weapons

{ No Comment }

I'm a lvl 20 night elf hunter. I recently tried to learn 2H axes. I bought the skill and equipped the axe, however I was doing extremely little damage. I've noticed before that my dagger skill goes up separate from my lvl. If I kill enough low level creatures with the axe will my axe rating go up?
Also do I learn to dual wield from a weapons changer?
Lastly, what are some good weapon types for a hunter?Meh, Depending on how many mobs there are and what level they are. if the
