Tips:
- Reforge 3043 haste cap if your comp has the haste buff. You ll need to enter in a CM dungeon to see whats your haste with CM capped gear. I needed to reforge my gear to 5k haste to stay with 30XX haste in CM.
- You don´t need too much spirit. Go with 7k-8k spirit to be safe when something goes wrong, but if you have a good dps comp, you probably can reforge to less spirit. You dont need to much spirit 'cause you have the amber from the klaxxy rep that recovers mana very fast OoC. As soon you get out of combat, you can use them.
- Displacer beast are good dor most CMs cause you can blink, stay ahead of the party to drink using amber. Its good to avoid some boss abilities too. For Mogushan Palace, you can take +%speed on tier if you are having a hard time on invisibility + jump for 2nd boss.
- Tree of Life is a really strong CD for CMs. Blanket Reju on situations where DPS took a lot of spike damage, so you can swiftmend them as soon as they tke damage.
- HoTW is really strong, use them on bosses with lust and before use it, Ironbark the tank so you can DPS more and heal less.
- With Ironbark with 1 min CD, you can use it on almost every pull. This will be really good in CMs.
- Watch the video guides from other Rdruids in youtube, meanly from Hamlet (EJ forum), you will learn the places you need to use your CDs without having to wipe. See more then one Rdruid doing the same dungeons, you always catch one thing that one druid did that is really good to do, and the other didn´t.
- Don´t glyph WG, glyph 40y Roar instead.
- For itemization, use Spirit/Mastery or Spirit/Haste itens. More sockets a item has, better it is for CMs. If you are willing to re-gem, Int gems are better then mastery cause of HoTW dps, but this lvl of min/max isn´t required to do a smooth CM.
- Use your Symbiosis wisely. If you have a Elemental shaman, for most dungeons, its good to give him solar beam.
Rdruids are really strong for CMs, you already have a 9/9 gold, probably you will not have problems.
