Role of The Druid WOW
by: Hunter Crowell
Of the many different character classes in WOW, each having a different accepted role, there is one lauded as superior by those who play them, and scoffed at by those around them.
There are a few responsibilities that must be filled for a group of adventurers to succeed in a dungeon.
There must be a ?tank,? someone who gets the attention of the monsters they are attempting to kill.
A healer is important to keep the group alive.
There are damage dealers who are primarily responsible for slaying the monsters in melee or from a distance.
Characters in charge of crowd control stall certain targets to make taking down others easier.
Each class generally fills one role with ease and can switch to another if it is needed.
The Warrior, for example, is first and foremost a tank.
Warriors are given the most abilities to generate and maintain the focus of the foe.
But in a group with two warriors, or if another class wants to try their hand at tanking, the warrior can be used as a damage dealer.
The WOW Paladin, normally used in instances as a healer and support character, can generate cause enough threat to hold the targets attention.
The Druids of Azeroth, made up of the Night Elf and Tauren populations, have an interesting mix of abilities.
To WOW, they are the shape shifting Jack of all Trades.
They can heal the party, with efficiency topped only by the Priest.
In Cat Form they can deal melee damage and sneak around their enemies with the guile of a Rogue.
If shifted into Bear Form, they are capable of performing tanking roll of a Warrior.
While in Moonkin Form, they can dole out massive damage by raining down arcane and nature spells on the target.
This wide range of abilities makes the druid the ideal member of any party, if one person fails, the druid can switch over to the vacated role and pick up the slack.
This is not often how the party views the situation, however.
In small instance groups of five people, the druid is often taken only if they are willing to be a healer, despite their versatility.
A druid desiring to fill another role, especially the popular role of damage dealing, is shunned.
The WOW developers gave druids certain abilities, such as moon fire or faerie fire, which are very visible spells.
These spells have beneficial effects for the group, but a druid casting them on a target will often be ridiculed from the party for ?wasting mana? that should be reserved for healing.
The issue stems from two major problems in WOW.
The first is the lack of healer classes.
There is only one class out of eight on each faction that is a dedicated healer, the Priest.
There are two other classes on each side that are capable of healing, the Paladin for Alliance and Shaman for Horde, then the Druid.
The low amount of available healers leads to less players playing them, which feeds right into the next dilemma.
The second problem being that most players are too shortsighted to see beyond the Druids healing ability.
There are many people with the immutable mindset that if a druid can heal, he should heal.
While they are an effective healer, they are quite effective at every other role they can fill as well.
No one would ever accuse Blizzard entertainment of being hasty with their decisions.
WOW and their other games have had their release dates pushed back many times.
In the past hardcore fans of Blizzard?s work know that this delay is for the best, the company labors to produce the finest quality product.
The Druid went through months of internal testing and balancing before the concept became a reality.
By giving the druid all the basic abilities of a rogue, a warrior, a mage and a priest, it is quite clear they had a greater intention for the class than staple healer.

Jewelry As A Graduation Gift-Make It A Memorable One
Jewelry As A Graduation Gift-Make It A Memorable One
by: Sam Serio
Jewelry makes a memorable gift to commemorate one of Life?s Great Milestones. Graduation represents a unique, personal accomplishment earned through hard work and determination.
Here are some helpful guidelines to keep in mind when you are shopping for a jewelry gift to celebrate the next chapter of your special graduates life.
1. There?s a big difference between 14 karat gold and gold-plated jewelry. Fourteen karat (14K) jewelry contains 14 parts of gold, mixed in throughout with 10 parts of base metal. Gold-plated describes jewelry with a layer of at least 10K gold bonded to a base metal. Gold plating eventually wears away, depending on how often the item is worn and how thick the plating is.
2. If you?re buying a watch, determine whether you want one that runs on a battery or one that must be wound daily. Ask if a warranty or guarantee is included, how long it...

Online Retail Sales: Online Loyalty Equals Retail Gold
Online Retail Sales: Online Loyalty Equals Retail Gold
by: Joseph Pratt
As an employee of an online advertising agency, ICMediaDirect.com, I?ve got a sweet vantage for observing the latest online retail numbers tumble in - and they?re spectacular.
Third Quarter online retail sales were up almost 27% from the same period last year, while these first 20 days of January were up 33% from the same period in 2005.
This surge is neither cyclical nor an aberration, but indicative of the continuing and permanent shift of retail consumers to ecommerce instead.
Naturally this is great news for online advertisers and retailers.
But it?s important to remember that ecommerce has outgrown its infancy.
The big players in online retail have established themselves and seem to know what they?re doing.
It is important for advertising agencies and marketers to...

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Do You Have It?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Do You Have It?
by: Jeff P. Anliker, LMT
Carpal tunnel syndrome reached epidemic proportions in the 90?s and has now achieved a status equaling pandemic proportions in the 21st century. With carpal tunnel syndrome having such devastating effects on millions of people each year, how do you know if you or someone you know has it?
With so much attention and hype the past 10-years concerning carpal tunnel syndrome in the workplace, you would think that a clear-cut picture would exist regarding the ?how?s? ?why?s? and ?what is it?s? of carpal tunnel. Although carpal tunnel syndrome should be easily recognizable with such extensive media exposure, you would be amazed at how many people, including a lot of doctors, who do not recognize the symptoms or misdiagnose it as something other than carpal tunnel syndrome.
In order to provide a more clear picture of what carpal tunnel is, why and how it develops and what can be done...

The Real Gold Mine
The Real Gold Mine
by: Scott Bianchi
Financial security is something we all strive for, well most of us anyway. Some people are perfectly content living paycheck to paycheck and claiming their house is their savings. Part of me wishes I could be that relaxed to have such a laid back view of things.
For those of us that do want to have some level of financial security we try to save and invest our money at any opportunity. Some people do this on their own, while the majority of people have some sort of financial professional offering them advice. I personally have an account set up with a financial advisor. Most financial advisors will tell you to ?diversify? your money and investments. But, do they really mean it? Yes, they mean it as long as it makes them money.
I feel in order to truly be diversified in your investments you need to have your stocks, bonds, and savings. But, the real gold mine is in precious metals. Very few people invest...

The Stunning Ring: Self Defense Wrapped Around Your Finger
The Stunning Ring: Self Defense Wrapped Around Your Finger
by: Laura Hite
Choosing a self defense product can be overwhelming. So when making this important decision ask yourself, "How quickly will I be able to defend myself with this product?".
An attacker often waits for that person who is alone and unaware. They look for vulnerability. Most people do not have the luxury of a personal body guard, so you must protect yourself.
In the event of an attack you have very limited time to react. You will not have time fumble through your purse or bag for that pepper spray or stun gun.
You need the power to stop an attacker at your fingertips. You can do that with the Stunning Ring.
The Stunning Ring is a self defense pepper spray ring. It is creatively designed to fit a man or woman; sizes 6-14. Choose between silver or gold plating, complimented with a genuine onyx stone.
Because it is disguised as a ring an attacker would...
