Restoration Druid 6.2

[VirgilvanDijk 3]

I've always been a big fan of Soul of the Forest and am still using it now in MoP. I am wondering if Incarnation: Tree of Life will be more viable and at what point. Spamming the enhanced spells while in Tree of life form will drain mana quicklly I reckon, especially before and during progression.

 

Will Soul of the Forest thererfor be a safer bet to use while we gather spirit equipment?

[Delaila 4]

how the tree of life affect other spells ?

 

answer :

While in tree form the druid can cast spells just as in caster form, and several spells are enhanced.  [Regrowth] becomes instant cast,  [Wild Growth] affects an additional 2 targets,  [Lifebloom] can be cast on multiple targets,  [Entangling Roots] becomes instant cast, and  [Wrath] has its cast time halved and damage increased by 30%. The instant cast regrowth and improvements to Wild Growth and Lifebloom make it an especially potent raid healing form, but the 15% bonus to all healing makes it a good cooldown for any healing crisis.

This is changed now, regrowth, wild growth and roots are the same but lb cant be casted on more then one traget now, instead reju cost less mana and do more healing. Source http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/15682579/#druid "

• Incarnation: Tree of Life no longer enhances Lifebloom. Instead, it also enhances Rejuvenation, increasing its healing by 50%, and reducing its cost by 30%."'  

 

Greetings!

 

I noticed that Lifebloom was in the current rotation for heals. The tooltip states, 'Duration refreshed by casting Regrowth or Healing Touch on the target.' When I cast either Regrowth or Healing Touch on the target that has my lifebloom applied it is not being refreshed.

 

Is the tooltip incorrect or is lifebloom currently broken? Does this affect it's use in the healing rotation?

Dont know if you are, but if you are using Glyph of bloom lb will no longer be refreshed by Regrowth and Healing Touch. If you arent using the glyph I guess (like someone allready satated) that it might be an addon or something that are messing things up..hope it works out

If you're spamming regrowth your mana will suffer, but with Tree of Life now affecting Rejuvenation (50% more healing and 50% less mana) you can spam rejuv during ToL and actually gain mana.

I haven't been playing for very long but I'm starting to get the hang of things and I'm looking to get setup with a few macros to make my healing more efficient.

 

Would anyone be able to help me with some macros? I'm finding as I look around that a lot of the macros out there are out of date and using spells and abilities that no longer work the same or even exist.

 

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I want to comment on the 'stat priority' section. For haste, it says 'it lowers the cast time'

While this is true, it does much more than that. Haste, just like in previous expansions, lowers the interval between ticks on our HoTs. It does this in a linear fashion, instead of clumps with the old breakpoints. We still have haste breakpoints, but because of the new partial tick system, we get a proportional amount of healing at the end of the tick relative to the amount of time left.

Secondly, haste also reduces our GCD which can be helpful when placing many rejuvs.

I'd like to +1 talk of Displacer beast, It has been my personal go too since it was released

For starting out Rdruid feline swiftness out-ways solely for one less thing to worry about if you're trying to concentrate on a form rotation/refreshing hots/blanketing

 

But i have always used Displacer beast and it has been beyond amazing, the amount of blinks + natures swiftness/Healing touch that has saved raid wipes on mythic bosses, just wow....

Another thing is people complain that you go to cat form and then have to get out to heal, Easiest way to negate this, For myself Rejuvenate is number 2 in cast form, in cat form i've put rejuvenate in number 2 also, majority of the time i DB i'll be rejuvenating someone so having that on the rejuv keys limits excessive key pressing and is just so smooth

You don't need to run 15% faster if you can blink into a safe zone before the rest of the raid, means more time for healing and saving people who may be slower in movement

Just my input

[Guest Trollthis]

Below i have linked 3.3.3 of the resto optional read for mastering your rdruid

You can correct me if i'm wrong, but for current healing in WoD at lvl 100, i'm finding Tier 7 talent germination + genesis is a massive single target burst on a tank if heavy single target damage is taken, The heal from 2xrejuv + genesis while you apply 2 more rejuvs is actually an insane burst (provided no other raid members will need healing in the immediate future that wild growth can't handle)

Not sure if it should be included because it may be too much for a beginner to manage, but it may be worth the mention???

 

 

3.3.3. Genesis

 Genesis should be cast whenever there is heavy AoE damage, provided that you have several  Rejuvenations active on raid members.

Topic Moderator, if it's possible i've created my account, could those 2 previous posts from Trollthis be linked to this profile at all?

[Guest Wulph]

Why does Glyph of Regrowth make Regrowth better than Healing Touch efficiency wise? Even with 100% crit, Regrowth heals for about 21% more than Healing Touch's regular non-crit but costs 80% more mana. Or does efficiency not refer to healing per mana in this context?

 

Thanks.

I can't link them, but I approved the messages.

Sorry I didn't get to it sooner. I was *trying*to log in to the game. Lol

[Guest Guest]

Is there rough estimate that people are finding to be the right amount of spirit before you ignore the stat completely?

[docesam 0]

The guide says:

 

 

An important note is due to  Glyph of the Sprouting Mushroom, allows you to place your  Wild Mushroom anywhere on the ground, instead of having to place it underneath a target. This glyph is very good, since it gives your Wild Mushrooms a lot of freedom. Effectively, it is mandatory.

 

so how much management that will need compared to the benifit ?

you are normally observing mainly health bars but suddenly you need to look around see where that wild mushroom need to go click the spell and place it there . i bet you can't do that in one global cooldown and instead of casting other spells you are still moving your mouse to place it where you want.

in the other hand : you made that effort and suddenly after 1 second nobody is standing in that spot anymore !! totally not worth it. blizzard knew this that is why it is a minor not a major glyph.

Great guide! One other thing you might amend to the glyphs section - Glyph of Regrowth gaurantees you proc Living Seed every cast.

It's worth it, trust me. This let's you place it where the tank is running to. In practice it's really not disruptive to monitoring health bars.

Thanks.

It also gives a guaranteed proc of living seed.

 

Then too, keep in mind you get to cast regrowth for free a lot.

The glyph is mandatory because you can /see/ where people are. If your using it via health frames, that person could possibly be in the middle of nowhere where.

2nd if you're only looking at health bars and not the ground, you're doing it wrong. Being aware of your surroundings is of the upmost importance. If you can't glance away from your bars for long enough to make a decision on where to place the mushroom, then I'm sorry to say you won't get very far anytime soon.

3rd if you're placing the mushroom somewhere and people move out of it, then you either need to make better decisions on where it is placed or tell your raid to stop moving so much. I personally know fights well enough where we use my mushroom as a guidance point for where to stack and I use it as a dynamic raid marker for where we need to go next. My raid leader stresses it a lot "I can tell who the people who care about living are, and it's those that are standing in the mushroom when it wasn't specifically stated to." That is what you need to teach your Raiders.

Lastly, making a keybinds to place the mushroom so you can easily aim and place, will also alleviate any dislike or 'maintenence' for the glyph. If you're dragging it from your bars you're being really inefficient and slow.

Personally, my button is shift-F, which is easy for me to reach and I can place it without having to go to my bars.

I Agree

My button is Tab because my Pinky is very useful haha

Also +1 to using shroom as a portable marker

If you tell the raid to follow "big green circle of love" they stand in it and you don't wipe in a raid, it's a win win really

• Have  Lifebloom and  Rejuvenation always on the tank, even if you are not assigned to it.

 

Tooltip picture for lifebloom is as HT?

No real problem, just my OCD slightly kicking in.

This picture is for the 'bloom' part of Lifebloom, so its technically correct.

[Guest Borg]

Thanks for changing the stat priority now I've just paid for a BoE with a shit-tonne of haste on.

[Guest Mots]

I noticed in the Druid Resto Guide Mastery recently became the stat priority after intellect, superseding haste as the stat to gem/enchant.  I was hoping someone could explain why and if they have any links or math backing it up for my edification.  

 

Thanks, 

[Guest Xeddow]

Hey, why i now Mastery better than Haste? Can you explain that? Or maiby put it in your guide?

 

I have Only Haste sockets and enchants, its rly annoying that i must change it to mastery^^

[Krazyito 521]

Haste and mastery are both VERY close together in value having either wont make a HUGE difference in your gear, only your play style. Its possible the person who reviews the guides decided mastery was better for them when raiding these mythic bosses that have very little healing to do for 80% of the fight and only have to heal for those moments that matter.

 

Haste or mastery would both do the same in this regard, so it really does not matter what you get as druids are really the only healers that want haste on their gear.

Is there a "go to" resource for Weak Auras rdruid macros?
