Hybrid kit (PvP setup)

[Gunhead]

Getting closer to getting the Mace of Unending Life so i've been fidgeting with ctprofiles to try and build a viable hybrid kit which'd give me decent damage in cat while retaining a mana pool that'll allow more casting than the emergency self-heal and occasional Moonfire.

This is what i've gotten so far: http://ctprofiles.net/3523543
(i use Outfitter's main and offhand form dependent gear switcher so i'll prolly try to get Tome of Knowledge for forms offhand)

Only things i yet don't have are the mace and Maelstrom card but the mace is only 8k rep and hilt short and i have the Elementals deck waiting for next Dark Moon faire. A couple enchants still in progress as well which leads me to the mace 'chant: i dabbed +30 spell damage on it to sorta push towards all-rounder gear. Is that just waste of an enchant? Bit unsure about couple other pieces... Any suggestions?

Spelldamage for a druid is pretty mweh, unless you get loads of it and spec for Balance. Either go for healing or something more feral oriented for both offhand and enchant.

i'd agree. skip out on some of the +healing for more ap while in cat form.

i'd go really focussed on the damage mate and totally neglect, or atleast dont pay attention, to the healing/casting side.

Because i found that most druids who go in cat form and specced/geared for it are stil a big joke more or less. U got some really good gear, just go all the way!

Druids on official blizz forums are really complaining alot atm that druids are abit gimped because u cant change gear into combat. And that they have to wear gear 100% focussed on that role but by doing that they forsake every other role. Ergo they are not real hybrids, but role-switchers.

hmms, i hope u found this information atleast a tad bit usefull as i get the feeling i dont give u a good impression of what i mean:D

Oh i have a raw cat-oriented PvP setup which gives me about 1200 AP and bit below 29% crit, playing a rogue wannabe it's in some cases enough to 2-shot a drinking clothie from Prowl if i get lucky with crits.

The reason i'm trying to configure this setup is that in the pure kitty gear my mana pool only allows for 3-4 consequent shapeshifts if i toss a Rejuv on meself in between, but that dries me out and if druids are bit of a joke in PvP a druid oom out of form is slightly less a threat than a hunter pet... Another thing is that playing a self-healing-almost-rogue can be a bit one-sided so i'm kinda trying to better meself to play in a more 'druidic' fashion.

So i'm aiming this setup to be more group oriented where i can when needed heal others sufficiently, keep Alliance occupied in bear form (i've set Outfitter to switch to me Warden Staff when shifting to bear) and still retain enough damage in cat to put down some hurt on those i catch pants down.

But yea maybe the +spell damage is too expensive for too little effect for my current gear (gief Genesis! :p ), it's just that +15 AGI or STR won't make that much of a difference either...

Too bad there aint any stam enchants, but more healing would probably be more useful than spelldamage (lets face it, in a feral/resto spec, moonfire and starfire tickle at best and your supposed to use your feral side to lay down the hurt).

dont forget tho,

+30 spelldamage also gives +30 healing as of patch 1.12.
So its +30 damage and healing.

But, would you rather have 30 spelldamage that you basically dont use or another 25 healing that you do? :)
