to me this is crap, not worth it, but no one else wanted it so they gave it to me.
i could see how this would be useful, but it seems more along the lines of a ZG blue than a BWL epic...

as for the idiot that says no one takes feral druids to end instances, your guild must not be fun to be in.

saturday when i helped down nef, there were 2 moonkins, me being 1, 2 feral druids and 3 resto druids. ( i think... might have been 3 feral and 2 resto)

anyway, i think that this should be changed to an equip, and be 80% or 90% instead of 100%, because then it would be cool, and be worthy of the purple lettering, but not outrageously overpowered.

My king friend Masteritchy told me about "druid adrenaline rush" mod...or DAR. It shapes you to cat and uses your talent, then back again. I think even if you dont have furor you are able to wear the energy helm and still have the mod work, testing it out today gg gratz me on some loots.

But apparently this mod will shape you in and out for 20 seconds to build up 5 points and whammy.

It's also a great addition for a wsg gulch game, or any battleground or world pvp for that matter.

I got this trinket last week. It's pretty useless to me most of the time. There are times where it's handy to be able to come out of cat/bear and heal myself even to the point of being OOM, hit the trinket and go back to bear to finish off a mob. I don't think it's worthy of epic BWL loot status though.

The person that designed this seems to have at least once carried the flag out of the enemy base in Warsong Gulch with talent points in heart of the Wild...and this person had at least mediocre IQ.

I bet most of those who despice this item don't match any part of this description.

I can see this being used to make full use of the new Furor talent for cat form.

3 Piece Stormrage + 3/3 Natural Shapeshifter + Furor + Trinket.

Idea being that when you re-shift to gain 40 energy you activate trinket, then re-shift a few times during those 20 seconds to keep gaining 40 energy. If they all stack it would save quite a lot of mana.

I don't see what everyone is complaining about -- thats an amazing trinket. For all the shifting you do in pvp, hit thta once, you can go cat, attack a bunch, go bear, stun heal, all for free. Or tons of other combos. I only wish it had a 90s cooldown like TOEP.

It could have it's uses, for instance, does the swing timer still reset for us when we shift out of cat form? Because if it does, spamming cat form with this trinket = free weapon swings with my 3.8 speed finkles, which would be hitting for 300 or so every second, thats not bad at all. Possibly I could see it being usefull in WG too when flag carrying. But other then that, it's prolly just gonna be a waste of DKP when I get it. (I'm a feral druid and we are doing firemaw right now in my guild so you can't say feral druids don't get in end game guilds, they just have to heal most of the time.) I bet a trinket will drop off Nerfarian
Essence of the Druid
Equip: Disables all spells and abilities except MotW but gives your whole raid a improved MotW spell for as long as you have the trinket equipped.

even for ferals this trinket isn't worth spending any point to it :(.

in feral forms you can't "USE" anythink and there are much better trinkets for ferals with armor/evade/crit. even trinkets with "changs to proc on hit" are better (don't know why weapon procs arn't alowed but procs from armor/trinkets).

Any druid that will actually see this fall won't want it. But it sure would be nice for all uber feral druids out there that people don't take on raids.

You guys just dont get it, druids are not only healbots. Sure, if you dont have any restoration in your build at all, you suck and shouldn't be allowed in an endgame instance. But with my feral/resto build i am healing just fine, better than most priests out there. Now i admit, i have only been in MC once as of right now, but i am trying to join a guild that runs MC every night, so my opinion may start to matter soon. But the thing is, yes we only heal in those instances, but unless you are a sad shell of a gamer that plays the game ONLY for the items that they can get and not for the fun of the game, you dont ONLY heal. You duel, you run instances with friends of yours (low level instances where you dont have to heal like strat or DM, you can get along tanking in those just fine, I have done it so i know that it is particularily easy) Sure, this trinky isn't as nice for raiding as the other classes trinkies, but it is still @#%^ing awesome for all around druidness.

What the hell was blizz thinking! You suck blizz I hate you! All the other classes got some sweet trinkets that will really help them in exploring MC and BWL and whatever is next. Why the hell would I ever want a reduction in mana cost of shape shifting? Our forums are 100% useless in these instances having a 100% reduction of mana cost while using them is 100% useless. If you're a feral druid you're not comming on my raid. You're taking the spot of a good druid or priest for healing. (Bear can be nice to survive when you're the bomb on baron in MC but come on.)

I doubt a feral druid will ever ever ever be on a raid in BWL because they will never make it there and if they do it's only because everyone else in the raid is so uber they didn't need you in the first place.

How about a trinket like.

-Reduces the casting time and mana of nature spells by 50% for 20 secs.

Now that would be useful. Even 25% would be nice.

Thanks for screwing druids again.

you guys cant be serious, you dont think this is a useful trinky? If i got this trinket i would covet its affect as being equal to NS and innervate! think about it, you no longer have to worry "will i have enough mana to switch back into bear when i pop that last heal off?" you can heal yourself with abandon, hit the affect, then pop right back into dire bear for 0 mana. WHO WOULDNT WANT THAT!?!?!? And with that, the cooldown is only 5 minutes, so it is just like a spell. Those annoying pally/druid priest/druid and druid/druid fights would be so much easier, you could use the trinket like 2-3 times per fight! I ask you all....how long have you played a druid?

-Takian (level 60 druid on medivh, to answer question coming i have played since retail)

Maybe if trinkets could be changed in combat...

Change this to -75 mana cost to shapeshifting, passive, and I am all over it.

you guys ever been to WG?
If not, then please try it before you start talking BS again.

The bag slot is worth more than this trinket.
Blizzard obvioulsy understands us Druids.
