Druid Gear
The more and more you get into the World of Warcraft and playing a Druid the more you

realize just how much there is to it. As soon as you get a grasp on your spells and basic stats

all sorts of other stuff comes up. When it comes to time start gearing up your low level toon a

whole new flood of options, terms and trade-offs come into play. One of these points that

you've got to understand, especially if you are running a Balance or Restoration Druid, is the

notion of mp5.

The term "mp5" is shorthand for "mana per five seconds" and is a common bonus stat found

on some gear you can get relatively low levels. Another way to look at this is a system of

restoring a certain amount of mana back into your mana pool. It is basically a boost to mana

regeneration that is not dependent on your Druids Spirit stat.

Like a lot of stuff in the World of Warcraft there is more to this than meets the eye. While the

term itself tells you that an item will return X number of mana per five seconds it's actually

better than that. Lets look at an item that has the effect of giving you "10 mana every five

seconds." Common sense would tell us that at 10 points back into your pool every five

seconds you would get just that. Not so.

leveling</a>
What actually happens is you get part of that every "tick." A tick is a semi-standard unit of

time in the World of Warcraft and is (most of the time) 2 seconds. So something that

provides 10 mana per 5 seconds actually gives you 4 mana every 2 seconds. (10 per 5

seconds = 2 per second and 2 seconds = one tick). It's confusing but once you get the idea it

becomes second nature. So what is the big deal? All in all you are still getting what is

advertised, right?. The benefit here is the steady stream of mana that flows into your pool.

As you level your Druid time becomes a more and more important factor. Even a few

seconds can make a huge difference. If and when you start getting into raiding as a Balance

or Restoration Druid this kind of stuff becomes really important.

Secondly your mp5 gear will not be affected by the Five Second Rule (FSR) so you are

always getting the benefit from that boost. The FSR is fodder for another article but basically

for five seconds after you cast a spell you are not regenerating mana from your Druids Spirit

or Intelligence stat. With mp5 you do. MP5 regen goes on all the time. Okay?

Thirdly the mp5 idea translates when you spec Dreamstate in your Talent trees. The effect,

up to 10% of your intelligence state, provides you with mp5 like mana regen from the talent.

The topic of mana regeneration is a massive one and well worth the effort of looking into it.

Just remember that you can always change your talent points and gear at low levels is not

that hard to come by and can be replaced without too much trouble so don't hesitate to see

what works best for you.

This is one place a This is one place a paladin excels with our versatility. Your typical 5-man group has a Tank, Healer, Crowd Control, DPS and Random. Our best role in that mix is the Random slot, as then we can react to anything that comes up and add dps when things are secure, off-tank if a big pull needs that or if there’s a 2 “boss” fight (eg. BRD emperor/princess and DM Tribute king/observer) and support the healer with our own healing if required. Although that’s our best role, and my personal favourite, we are also easily capable of performing as the main tank for a group or as the healer wow power leveling. There is no 5-man instance in the game that a paladin cannot tank, and the same for healing. People prefer having a warrior as tank or a priest to heal and sure, if they’re available it’s perfectly reasonable for them to do that and we slot into the random/versatile role. Our best role is in that non-specific slot that allows us to keep an eye on the group and do whatever is needed at any given time but we can also perform the main tank or main healer roles, and that makes us a great addition to any group. In fact, if there’s a dps specced warrior in the group I’ll often do the tanking so they can dps, and the same if there’s a shadow priest wow power leveling. The problem of course is that most people insist a paladin can’t main tank or be the group healer, if you try to join pugs (pickup groups) for one of those roles.
