WoW is frustrating me

[thistlechaser]

Druid 23. It got somewhat better at 20 (when I hit things, now they eventually die! Yay!), but I still take damage way too quickly, especially if I have more than one mob on me. Oddly (and sadly) the only effective questing I can do are green quests. Now and then I successfully do one at my own level, but generally I die endlessly on them. I boggle at how much I die. Thank god I can't delevel.

PS: Prowl should be 100% effective.

On my main, I wasted 28 days for nothing. Stupid Argent Tournament. I can't joust at all, so I figured I'd do the 'kill 10 scourge' daily quest for 25 days and get the 25 seals I need that way (three missed days in the middle of that). Got my 25 seals, tried to turn them in... and I have to beat some champ to level up. BLAH. I went 1/200 on beating the three little ones you have to do (and note that's 1/200, not 3/200, I never totally succeeded, only killed one of the three). I haven't even bothered trying to kill the champ yet, since I'm sure he'll be harder than the three little ones... being champ and all...

All in all: Blah.

Yeah, as far as cat form goes, you're missing using your finishing move. Wait until you have some combo points and make sure to use a finishing move. It'll kill the mobs faster which means less damage to you. Also, you should be attempting to stealth and use one of the from behind moves to start out your battle when using cat form. Adding those two moves to your rotation will make a big difference in how fast stuff goes down.

If you're still having trouble, you need to just use bear form, which has more armor and health. There's a glyph you can get that will make one of the main moves (maul or swipe, I can't remember which at the moment) hit two enemies at once which helps a /ton/. I don't know what you've been doing with your talent points, but be sure to put them into feral (respec if needed). There's one talent that makes the move I mentioned above (maul or swipe) go down to 10 rage to use, so you can use it a lot more often. When in bear form, be sure to use demoralizing roar too, as that lowers surrounding mobs' attack power (just be careful when using it not to pull neighboring yellow mobs).

Additionally, if you haven't already, I'd send some money over from your main and make sure you've got decent armor.

If these suggestions don't help, let me know and I'll go play my druid for a bit so I can tell you exactly what I do, because it's seemed pretty easy to me and I've been tanking regularly since level 18 or so.

Thanks for all the info!

All my points were going into feral, yep!

Yeah, I only have Shread for now, the better one is 32, but I'm practicing with that!

Thanks for all the hints!
