I think you mean nat's embrace not breeze, in the tick category

The thing about gaining 100 focus, is that you can then divert 100 points from focus into something else. Remember when we all had too much energy during Update 2 and we all used 5 focus and over 300 vitality? Me too. And to me, an offhand with 100 focus means that at a super high level, when I have could 400 focus and 150 vitality, I could instead have 300 focus, plus a book to equal 400, and 250 vitality. Or something like that. It's 20 levels worth of stat points. Pretty cool in my opinion.

What about the shields? Have any druids opted for the defensive route and purchased one of the new shields? How do the shields compare vs the orb or book?

Opps, Thanks TeaW

I have also managed to borrow the shield and tested it out. Cant say I noticed much about increased + 200 physical evasion but the 150 armour along with your bark helps a ton with melee mobs obviously. I felt like a tank with 700 armour lol. But the down side is it cuts your mana by 300 odd and you will definitely notice yr mana depleting like no body's business. Although I suppose this can be offset by other energy items - +10 bracelet, + 5 ring and + 15 helm. Costly approach but hey it may work.

Managed to borrow the book from a frd. Note this is from 605 focus to 705:
Natures Touch: 42 hp
Natures Breeze: 5 hp per tick
Natures Breathe: 12 hp
Vines: 22 dmg
Lighting Strike: 23 dmg
Wards: 18 to 22 (cant remember)

Will leave it to you all whether it is worth to get 300k book. Arent for me tho

With the new patch - Orbs are now 225k and 25 energy regen (Used to be 20) & Books are now 200k. I actually dont mind getting the book now at 200k as i think it is worth while at that price for boss fight purposes. (Also considering I will be refunded 75k from orb which means the book to me is actually 125k)
Druids who choose to solo are still best with the red bowling ball due to 25 mana regen

In terms of the Orbs...

My issue with them is the terminology.

+100 spell evasion is NOT +100 Warding.

Have you ever noticed that? Warding fuels the Spell Evasion Resistance, but one point doesn't equal one point in each.

I wish we could figure out exactly how much that is helping you.

Tea to answer some of your question. 100 warding is equivalent to 50 spell attack evasion. It is always half the evasion to the ability that fuels it. Not sure if that was the answer to what you were wondering.

this is very hard to decide. i dont know if its orb or book thats better.
orb does 25 mana regen
the masters grimmore does 15 regen but adds a LOT more energy. but 200k can take a while

i think imma get book. i barely solo train , so it helps a few of my friends training with me using elixirs

I checked the Scavenger, here r the stats..


Arcane Orb of Spirits
-25 mp per tick
-150 energy
-Bunch of Spell Evasions; all +150

Master's Gimiore
-15 mp per tick
-100 health
-100 focus

i think orb is better in general, but if u want a boost to ur skills, the book is urs!

i think im getting a golden focus by next month. that is if nobody wants a space remenant
that will drop from rockbelly. i have no idea why everyone else can keep their space rems.
but im excited for the next one. if its a green space..... i have no idea what to do.
maybe sell it. yeah. if i get any drops not nedded, i will sell it immediately
