I tried to work this out and it turned into a blog post.

I'm comparing "Living Spirit" to "Dreamstate". And wondering which one gives me more juice.

Lets pretend I have 323 int and 372 spirit. I just made these numbers up but they seemed appropriate for a new resto druid in greens.

Before 2.4 regen(level 70) seems to be based on this:

5 * square root of int * spirit * .009327

Dreamstate gives me 32.3 mp5 and mp5SR.

Living spirit gives me 46.76 mp5sr and 14mp5.

At this point it takes 26.51 spirit to get me 1 mp5. I'm a druid I imagine I'll be inside the 5sr all of the time.

.................................
long slow time
.................................

spirit/(5 * square root of int * spirit * .009327)*.15*.30 = mp5 gain using living spirit.

For the mp5 gained per point of spirit from Living Spirit to be equal to the mp5 gained per point of intellect from Dreamstate you will need to have 2270.654 intellect. Something that will not happen at level 70.

So my end ruling? For mp5 I'll want a dreamstate build.

Of course I may not ever want mp5 but yeah... I did all of this just because I was curious if it was possible for Living spirit to give more mp5 than dreamstate.

I think my math is right.

Also I'm thinking roughly that as long as I'm not treeform it will always be worth it to have dreamstate. Not sure at what point +healing is better than mp5 for a druid. But I'm not one of you crazy awesome theory crafters... I'm just an amature who needed something to waste an hour on.

If it's a warm rainy day, with nothing to do (or nothing I want to do) then I'll take a dreamstate.

But if it's not raining and the sun in shining, then I'll take a living spirit any day :P

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

By
For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...

Guildless.

By
Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.
