boomkin

A boomkin is a balance druid in the MMORPG World of Warcraft. The term comes from the talent whereing such druids are allowed to assume the form of a moonkin for the purpose of casting offensive spells.

A boomkin receives great spell crit and bonus damage and generates an aura which benefits all casters in the party. The term comes from oomkin, a once derogatory term used to reflect the fact that balance druids often went oom or "Out of Mana." This problem has since been resolved.

I wish we had a boomkin in this raid; my mage is gemmed for spell hit and I could use the crit aura.
