nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

why, oh why why why blizzard do you insist on feral druids wearing skirts?!?

i carry a big mace...a HUGE one...I steal rogue gear when I can....I am a dps machine...what in that tells you i need to be constrained in a skirt? what next..feral druid shoulders with stuffed birds perched on them? a goofy hat that mimics a bird's head? oh wait..

on the plus side...i can now booterang those worthless peons in flight form...catch me now dragonmaw ancestor!

[Drygioni]

ROFL

[Kothnok]

How about shaving your bear fur like a French Poodle?  The prince might laugh too hard to land any crushing blows.

So, what do feral druids wear under their kilts? 

[Shadowwolf]

I happen to like the kilt idea tyvm 

Im a girl, and pants arent that feminine. Considering the game already steps over the line in how it depicts feminine things, like my figure, measurements, plate bikini's, etc, its fitting I get a skirt. 

[Tolwen]

lolz!

umm what is booterang?
wooot for herbs in flight form though!

[Arcdelad]

booterang is a quest item you get for netherwing reputation...you get a boot that you throw at peons heads that are sleeping or getting too cocky.

You literally toss a boot like a boomerang, and it smacks them in the head, then they wine and cry about getting smacked around.

One of the most fullfilling dailies blizz has made IMO

[Nixphire]

Poor poor rogues, Drysc conferms that Rogues now get flagged for sapping

[LastDyingBreath]

So, what do feral druids wear under their kilts? 

nothing.  I need room to expand.
