You know, I think I need to whip out my Druid to begin understanding them a bit more. :P It's been, literally, months since I've played him, i.e. several patches ago, so when I last played him Feral speccing was useless. Guess I need to shake that ghost from my brain. :)
Sorry if I offended any Druids. And yes, I agree that Shapeshifting is a very useful and essential part of ANY Druid, regardless of who they are with. There are DEFINITELY times where I'd rather the Druid be taking all the heat in Bear form, while I can sit back and Backstab the hell out of a mob. Generally, even level 40 mobs (I'm 37) I can solo without dying, although the ones I've been targeting definitely wear me down to the edge, so potion use is liberal. With a Druid along, I'd probably have zero downtime.
Anyway, thanks for correcting me on the usefulness of the Shapeshifting tree. I know they had planned to address some of the issues, but I never heard whether they actually did anything or not. :) For awhile I was just logging in to patch, then logging right out, and so I didn't even bother with the notes, except as it pertained to Rogues (my main). :)
