Crows

[danielwawawa]

I am wondering where and when do druid crows come in handy?
I know that when you are a certain level you minus your level by 2 and thats the level of your crows.

What sort of things do the crows do. In PvM and PvP. Do they get people in Block Locks, are they good at killing stuff.

Iin 1.09 i believe shamans (PVP druids using ravens/summons and spells) used ravens to blocklock their opponent while the grizzly/spells took care of the damage.

icic, thankyou.
maybe it still works in 1.10? How many points should i put in it...I am PvM and PvP Element/Summon Druid.

Ravens are good for a variety of things.

In p v p the ravens attack your opponent. Although they don't usually hit, when they do they can cause your opponent to block and interrupt them casting something or an attack of theirs. This can give you time to get away and regroup or give you a free attack. Although it doesn't happen much anymore with all the teleporting, it's still handy to cast them since you have them "just in case".

In p v m they blind monsters. If they are the same level as the monsters, whenever they hit they will cause blindness. The % chance to blind goes down if they're a lower level though.

In some fury PK's with my fury druid against other druids some of them have put 1 point into crows, let the + skills on items bring up the numbers a bit and then cast them so that they draw away my fury hits from the druid. They dont hurt me or anything but just draw away my attack (because you do NOT want to be getting hit 5 times by my fury druid :) ) Its a little bit sneaky and i dont do it but some ppl do. - I consider it not melee so i ask ppl to not do it against me.

uh.. i would be interested in knowing how in the hell you managed to target the crows in the first place. :S

I dont think you can target crows but for attacks like fury or zeal some of your hits will automatically go to them, if they are close enough.
