maybe im wrong, but there is no point in using Purify when you can use Cleanse (paladin spells)
agree. yes you get purify many levels before cleanse, but why cant they just consolidate them and just have rank 1 and 2.
i dunno, does it cost less mana? i forget.

nope, it costs the same...and Cleanse removes magic along with poison and disease...so its better...i just dont understand why they do that.

I think it has to be Blood Boil for DK's. I just don't see the point of an ability that deals next to no damage and requires diseases for any effect.
I haven't looked to see if there have been any changes since patch, but if you're deep unholy specced for AoE disease damage, then pestilence with some blood boils thrown in is icing on the cake. Especially if you're AE grinding, what other AE skills are you going to use? DnD uses too many runes to be a viable option, and all of your other skills are single target skills which may cause more single target dps, but then that's not your goal in this scenario.

Sentry Totem.
Nothing can top this.
NOTHING
.
Is Sentry Totem a talent (ie. Need to spent points to learn) or just a Skill?
My vote for skill would be
Soothe Animal
. Not only worthless, but actively bad to use. You need to get into agro range to cast this spell, without having range increasing talents, so without talents it doesn’t work. It breaks Stealth on yourself. It auto pops the druid out of forms. And, if it is resisted, the mob attacks you, from further away!
Uh, no, you don't get in agro range, and that skill rules, especially in wrath.
It is out of agro range, meaning you spray a mob nearby, and now that its instant cast, even better for keeping mobs away while you harvest a node. Not so much an issue now that we can harvest in flight form, but as a leveling player, it is very useful.

LOL so wrong. In ZA it was perfect in SO MANY places for getting past mobs in a timed run. The most famous was just before the bear god with the two bears. You could cast Soothe on them and walk right past. L2 use abilities properly =\
I second Lacerate, less damage than a lvl 26 serpent sting? LOL
EDIT: Beaten to the punch lol.

READ: The thread I pointed you to is
the
rogues' build thread on WoWhead. And yes, when ideas are based on facts, numbercrunching, and results such as would be suggested by oh, I dunno, the whole "Many people using spreadsheets, elitistjerks, theorycrafting > someone that doesn't bother to put together sentences properly, or use any evidence to support his/her claim" thing I put in my earlier thread, then yeah to deny them only shows your lack of credibility.
You can also deny that 2+2=4, why don't you go around advertising your defiance and bask in the "support" that you receive on that one.

Soothe animal is actually pretty useful... mobs don't always attack from 40yards... more like 30...
I use that spell regularly when fishing, so I don't get interrupted by a crocodile or something. I also used it at 67 to run through the first part of UB and collect hibiscus for Sporeggar rep.
That hunter talent probably tops it... but if not that, then the old ability of moonkin to get mana back from melee swings... and thus completely disregard the reasons for being ranged (20% threat reduction, avoid short range aoe, etc.)
Mind you, I did enjoy melee-ing Nightbane's skeletons in kara and never go below 50% even if (for some stupid reason) I had to res in that fight.
On another note: it's not a talent, but the balance druid t5 2set bonus is pathetic... lowering the mana cost of healing spells in our raiding gear?

To Immolation Aura do any effect you need to be close to the enemy, and there's the Intercept to do the job of getting in close range, so it's far from useless.
Oh I didn't bash intercept's utility, only the cleave skill. It's a waste of a gcd. Meta, intercept, immo aura, then my normal rotation usually. Assuming my FG or the tank has already built some threat first. Or to be used as sloppily as you want when grinding/questing.

WHAT? Mind Soothe is worthless? WOW, you guys are not using all your awesome skills here.
I use mind soothe as a poor man's stealth, depending on mob type. if Im questing and I need to kill a boss inside a cave or wherever, I walk in, Mind Soothe every mob I see and get to the boss without drawing any agro whatsoever. Its an AMAZING spell when you know how to use it!
And if you're gathering, Mind Soothe the humanoid mob near your node or herb and you wont have to kill it. Even gathering quest items... the list goes on.
And Naturalist for druids is awesome for the 10% attack power increase... how can that be overlooked?
Most useless spell used to be the human priest ability called Feedback. Not in the game any more, but man was it garbage.

Improved wands was great when you're leveling a priest to level 20. From 21 to 40 it was less and less useful, as mind flay rocked. After shadowform, wands became pointless except for the occasional one with stats at that level.
