The Rapid Changes In Car Games and Playing Arcade Games

January 8th, 2012

Most of the people own a car in real life, even if they hate driving. Still there are things you can’t do without the car, like shopping or taking the kids to school or friends. But online car games bring us a different experience and different opportunity to drive a car. You can race in high speed but without the fetid and tiredness, not to mention you can start over once you fail or crash.

Let’s take street racing for example. These are tough races and require you to have high level skills and mental toughness, which most people don’t posses in real life. In gaming it’s not like that. Here everyone can participate in these races. You choose the car you want and drive the metal on the pedal. If you play multiplayer car games it’s even better because you play with real opponents and not against the computer, so when you win it’s a great feeling, even if it’s online.

Another exciting car game genre is desert races, taken from Rally Dakar and other races in the desert. Desert races are considered the most toughest and dangerous races in the world. The take place in an extremely difficult environment and conditions. When you get stuck there is no one to pull you out or assist you, you have to make it all on your own, and changing an oil pump in the desert heat when you wear leather coat it’s no picnic.

For the action lovers there are the classic Chasing games. You either play as a villain or a mobster that escapes from the cops, or you are a good guy on a mission. The missions can differ from game to game. Some games require you to deliver something to a certain point, in other games you need to reach a point within a specific time limit, and do that while avoiding all kinds of obstacles, challenges or other opponents. But the most popular car game type is the classic car racing. You race against other opponents, machine or real players, and you need to win them all. In here also you have several options, you can win by finishing a lap in the best time, or you need to make it to the finish line first regardless to the time factor.

To leverage the excitement and thrill and give the players a real time feeling, the gamer can choose a round circular track, a point-to-point track, a rally type race, sandy track, concrete track, autobahn, formula, muddy road, drifting style, monster truck, truck games, and list goes on and on.

This is why people love this genre so much, the possibilities are endless. » Read more: The Rapid Changes In Car Games and Playing Arcade Games

Strategies for Resto Druid Healing in WoW

January 7th, 2012

As a Druid, you have access to some very unique mechanics, and Resto Druid Healing is no different. At earlier levels it is very easy to heal your way through dungeons. However, once you get into the higher end content, things get much more difficult. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you will have a very unhappy group, and you can end up wasting a lot of time wiping while you try to figure out how to heal. Read on, and you will learn some surefire strategies to ensure that you are keeping your raid happy and healthy.

Resto Druid Healing for Tanks

First off, you need to keep 3 Lifebloom stacks on the tank at all times. This should be done before he even pulls. If you notice the tank’s health going down faster than Lifebloom is restoring it, use Rejuvenation as well. Use Nourish to fill up any remaining damage, and use Regrowth when Clear Casting is up. If he takes spikes of damage, use Swiftmend, Healing Touch, or a Nature’s Swiftness/HT combo. Well geared tanks should be no problem for Resto Druid Healing, but undergeared tanks in heroics may require some more attention and intense healing.

Resto Druid Healing for Groups

Keeping the tank up is easy. It’s when the group starts taking heavy damage that things get difficult. Rejuvenation and Wild Growth are your primary methods of healing the group. Regrowth should be used whenever anyone goes below 50% health. Swiftmend is also great for Melee DPS since the Efflorescence effect is an AoE heal that will benefit the tank as well. You honestly shouldn’t use Nourish or Healing Touch on them most of the time because they are slow casting and by the time you get that spell off, the tank will have taken some heavy damage. It takes some close monitoring to keep up the group and the tank. However between these spells, you should be able to keep your group up with no issues. I will note, however, that no amount of Resto Druid healing is a substitute for DPS that stays in damage zones or Tanks that just can’t hold aggro.

Emergency situations in Resto Druid Healing

There will be times when you just don’t know what to do because everyone is taking massive damage. Don’t forget that we have some amazing cooldown abilities. Tranquility is one such spell that does massive healing for a short amount of time. Tree of Life is another important Cooldown for us that can mean the difference between a wipe and a win. With this spell, many of your Resto Druid Healing abilities are altered. For example, Wild Growth heals an extra party member; great for raids, means nothing in 5-mans. Lifebloom can be cast on more than 1 target, and regrowth is instant. These last two are going to be your lifesavers. First, putting Lifebloom on every party member will substantially increase your healing done. Also, more Lifebloom ticks means more (almost constant) Clearcasting procs. This makes your instant Regrowth free as well making for some excellent massive healing when you need it most. » Read more: Strategies for Resto Druid Healing in WoW
