No Nature damage DPS in WoW

[seleri]

well I imagine next expansion they will introduce yet another class, as usual, so seems likely... unless ofc it's tinker that everyone is asking for, for some reason

It always could be, but a nature based damage dealer would have a lot of overlap with druid's aesthetically. Even more than demon hunters had with warlocks and rogues. Arguably more than dark rangers would have with hunters.

There was a thread a while back suggesting Dark Rangers and Necromancers be specs within a class which I liked, and I guess some sort of pestilence/undead "druid" could be a third spec for that class. Calling on swarms of insects, corrupted roots, thorny vines, etc.

Probably better off altering druid to fit the role though.

We need a glyph that turns Sunfire into Insect Swarm.

Like this, which I would absolutely love.

Well since damage type means nothing, I dont see why it matters lol

[Twdft]

Hunters do also nature damage with stings and traps.

[Kemsa]

when you realize that the problem its how Blizzard handled Class Phantasy frmo the beginning.

Yeah what people mentioned, maybe you are looking something like the old days of Balance druid. And yes Sin Rogue its full Nature Damage via poisons and exploiting them.

What i am rooting its more of a gunslinger rogue. Sadly that will never happen.

[Casperite]

How come? I used to think Balance Druids were Nature damage based DPS, but now they're more cosmos-unicorn-powered spellcasters.
Wonder if that could be new class next expansion... some Dryad thing

They still do, end of thread. Just because they aren't flowering leaves and such with every cast does not mean it is not nature damage.

[froschhure]

And nature wands

I think what OP meant more is that there are no grass/plant based casters in WoW.

Yes, and it's kind of funny that most people posting in this thread don't seem to understand.

[huth]

Yes, and it's kind of funny that most people posting in this thread don't seem to understand.

Well, the OP didn't exactly explain it very well.

And for that matter, sun, moon and stars are very much part of nature.

[Gourami]

Yes, and it's kind of funny that most people posting in this thread don't seem to understand.

when I wrote "nature" I wasn't thinking about lightning, thunder and solar / lunar stuff, but more like you know... nature as you go outside and see everyday - trees, leaves, grass etc.

it's end of thread when there's nothing to discuss, not when hillbilly's come and say so

[Flutterguy]

I'm not sure why they keep damage type around beyond anything but flavor.

[arkanon]

So when you go outside......things like.....lightning, thunder, the sun and moon????

I'm not sure, of course, but apparently this discussion of a very specific issue shouldn't turn into some kind of such one:

It's a little off topic, but there's funny comparison, it's not 100% adequate, but has certain rational side:

Void/Light ---------------- virus(parasite?)/bacteria(symbiont?)
Fel/Arcane --------------- radiation/macrocosm forces(eg: gravity)
Nature/Death(unholy?) --- organic/inorganic chemistry
Elemental ---------------- particle physics
Physics ------------------ direct interaction (mechanics)

...but if we assume that this has some similarity, doesn't it seem that they are more or less equivalent in general (each at its own level)?
(Ie they just don't have a plane to compare with each other, depend on application)

Don't forget chronicles and picture with magic schools, they imply a very specific interpretation of each of them there.

Therefore, there is no fighter with purely natural damage, but if those using this school, then these are my favorite rogues, shamans, druids and hunters, also monks had something too and I'm not sure about DK (I'm bad with these last two, since know them mostly as opponents).

ps. This list was relevant at least before I left the game.

Depending on how voidy the next xpac turns out to be though, it may end up being cultists or something like that....i hope so anyways. bah to tinkers

You mean a Shadow Priest?

To the OP: Balance Druids still have Force of Nature, Mass Entanglement, Thorns (pvp), and Prickling Thorns (pvp). Also their healing spells are heavily plant-based.

[Unholyground]

Shaman also deal Nature damage via their lightning and wind spells.

Wind, lightning, and earth are all Nature damage sources.

[D3athsting]

No reasons for different schools of magic as there are no weaknesses/resistances anymore (actually there are but are extremely watered down)

[Frolk]

How come? I used to think Balance Druids were Nature damage based DPS, but now they're more cosmos-unicorn-powered spellcasters.

The moment u forget about an entire class in wow, what have we come to.

S H A M A N

Yes, lets just make everyone have 1 spell, all look the same and all do the same amount of damage. It doesn't matter after all "lol".

Even warrior's thunder clap is nature.

Well... sorry, but no, since 1.3.0.
