OK, so I’m getting pretty involved with World of Warcraft. I know I won’t have a lot of time to devote to the game, though, so I’m probably only going to do 1 character (2 if I have to change servers for some reason). It looks like my Tauren Druid was a pretty good (lucky) choice.

I want my character to mesh well with other people’s in raids/parties/etc. So here’s my plan for talent growth:

• Max Mark of the Wild in Restoration tree: I'm told it's the best buff in the game, and I can start upgrading it immediately at level 10.
• Max entire feral combat tree: From there, I'll turn my attention solely to feral combat, with these goals:
• Boost my bear's threat level, to hold the attention of monsters so I can serve as a tank.
• Boost my cat's stealth, for quick kills while soloing.
• Get cat's travel speed bonus, which is available 10 levels before the travel form, to get around the world faster (it'll be a long time before I get a mount).
• Eventually earn Leader of the Pack, which will boost the entire party's stats.
• Alchemist/herbalist: I've already gotten quite a few useful leather items from "jdredd5150" and "mr_mooph", so I'm hoping this will let me create some useful potions instead.

I hope I understand the pros/cons of these abilities right, ‘cause it’s gonna take a long time to earn ‘em…
