World of Warcraft: Druid Now Has the 4 Piece Set

I got lucky with two rolls tonight on my druid. One, which really isn’t as pertinent, is the Wrath of Unchaining trinket. Someday, I might attempt to gear as feral. Ironically, her feral gear actually is quite good and may make her a contender as a future bear tank. After completing LFR part 2 with a fairly decent group, I got into part 1 and managed to obtain the Deep Earth Gloves, making it her final set piece necessary to gain the 4 piece set bonus.

Although I probably won’t play her again until the weekend to finish up her Valor Point grind, I am quite eager to see the DPS differential. The 4 piece set makes her Starsurge spell increase in damage by 10% (which can be huge) and reduces the cooldown by 5 seconds. That effectively is a huge decrease in time as it makes the overall cooldown 10 seconds as opposed to 15.

Lastly, I managed to pick up the Band of Reconstruction. Normally, this might be considered a healer’s ring. But mastery is a nice stat for druids and spirit works well too as it provides hit. I guess it was a bit of a cheese on my part just to boost my item level. But I figured, “Why not?”

Despite all that, the next phase for gearing my druid outside of hopefully procuring a better weapon and trinket is going to a nasty valor point grind to obtain a better chest piece. I don’t see much of a point in fighting over the LFR ones. If I manage to get lucky on a roll, I might consider it. But there’s not a lot I can see stat-wise that convinces me to make it a goal. Maybe I might attempt to grab one just for my feral spec, but that’s as much effort as I want to do on that end. The remaining pieces for my druid are just her neck and feet. She has LFR pieces but I think it’ll be nice to get the full 397 version to max her out on item level as much as I can.

Hopefully, I have time to run my mage through LFR tomorrow night. It’ll be nice to see her get an upgrade or two as well.
