    best legs/rings/glyphs for balance druid?

    I'm twinking 49 on my druid, gonna be balance and duelspec resto. I was wondering what the best legs were? I have seen the wildfeather leggings and I might get them eventually, but are there any better or just as good legs as those that are a little easier to get?

    Also i was wondering if it would be a good idea to be using 2 freezing band's at the same time when balance, or resto for that matter? The bonus spellpower is good and a 1 out of 50 chance when I get hit by any enemy that they get frozen. Can anyone recommend the best 2 rings to have equipped for each spec?

    On a third note, I am wondering what glphs to use.
    When balance I am planning on using glyph of insect swarm but I don't know what I should use for my second major glyph. I'm looking at using glyph of healing touch incase I need any quick heals, but I would also like to hear about other peoples experiences with it.
    When resto im tossing up between 3 major glyphs, all of which i believe would be equally useful. Glyph of innervate, glyph of healing touch, and glyph of barkskin. I need some ideas on which of those would be best for healing and surviving.

    From looking at some posts I can see that 'Are you pugging more or going premades more?' is a fequently asked question when deciding gear/glyphs so I thought I would try and answer it before anyone asked.
    I will almost always be doing bg's with atleast 1 or 2 people from the guild, but not usually more than that. If premade groups are formed then I would probably be going with 5 other people.

    Sorry for the long post, just wanted to get as much info/questions in as possible.

    ok best legs for balance are off avatar of hakkar in ST and are called Windscale Sarong. best for resto too imo.
    for balance rings for mindseye/gem studded and cyclopean band. for resto i use WSG ring and gem studded, could also use the balance rings (you dont need the +hit from cyclopean, but it still has baller stats)
    for balance my major glyphs are healing touch and insect swarm, for resto healing touch and innervate.

    the only thing pugging vs premade is for is if you are trying to go glass cannon. i like a balanced mix of stats b/c im solo or 1-2 friends, so i cant afford to go glass cannon with no dedicated healer, but i dont wanna sacrifice everything for survivability either.



    look @ my druids armory for what i would consider a good balance setup. Stevecolbear - Kargath [A] US. i can still get some UGs but im very happy with what i can do. near 400 SP with MotW and almost 3k hp with 3600ish mp too. i still go OOM fast, but with its not too bad with rejuv huts and quick drinking. you might wanna give up HT for innervate glyph as balance if you have a healer and you dont mind losing the speed on HT, just to drink less.

    Do you think using underworld band would also be a wise move? Instead of using the wsg ring.

    hmm for resto id go with wsg ring. for one its free and easy to get. for 2 you only lose 4 sta, but 4mp5 is better than 6 measly spirit for a resto druid. and both have 12 sp so thats moot.

    I've also got eye of flame, so would that be better to use than soothsayer's headdress?

    for balance it has a slight edge if you wanna trade the sta for spell power.
    for resto keep soothsayers or nab a soulcatcher halo

    Wouldn't Wildfeather Leggings technically be the better choice? You get more Stamina, Intellect, and Spirit at the price of one Spell power.

    I have a Boomkin Guide that I've been working on and off for quite awhile now; I'm always updating it and adding more and more.

    Hope this helps.

    Imo, Mining/Herbalism are the two best professions for the 49 bracket. Much better than a few stats and 1 spellpower .

    What bout engineering.
    [Arcane Bomb]
    [Iron Grenade]
    [Gnomish Net-o-Matic Projector]
    [Major Recombobulator]
    [Gnomish Death Ray]

    are all biiiig lifesavers.

    5 sec Silence (also ~450 damage) for that Starfire, 3 sec stun needed to get that Healin Touch on you, Net to root melee or running FC, Recombobulator restores enough HP and Mana, Death Ray to get that 1500 damage on enemy, etc and many other things.
