...wall of text

So all this saltiness and hatred you put into your wall of text, screaming for dismissing the guide is because you don't agree on a one talent choice? 

Even if you were right - and you are not - doesn't it seem like a bit of overreacting?

It was stated a million times in the past that IV guides are aimed for the raid environment and in said environment a talent that works as a short on-demand raid CD for all the raid is a million miles better than a 4% chance for a proc of a single target mediocre heal with a weak HoT.

Regrowth was a good healing spell when we had a glyph that made it a 100% crit removing the HoT part. The glyph has gone. The only usage of Regrowth in pre-patch (the guide is for the pre-patch) is during Omen of Clarity procs or paired with SotF talent as a must for a 200% healing increase. Otherwise you get a spell that heals for a half of a Healing Touch amount for a double mana cost.

You actively insist on using in raids (IV guides are for the raids as I already said) a talent that does a competitive amount of healing for a single target only when paired with other talent and works as a proc of a proc (you need MoC to proc and then Regrowth to proc as a crit) instead of a 1 min. raid CD (in raids) or a 1 min. damage mitigation CD with increased healing from HoTs (for a tank in 5-man)?

Sorry, but I don't agree.

Anyways, it's always nice to discuss things with calm people :)

IMPORTANT NOTE 2

Guys... just a good advice. Do not listen such websites and guides like this, or noxxic or any similar sh*t. Read your spells, passives and talents, understand those and try it out in every situations, with every combinations! Only this way you will be a good player!

lol.... Noxxic has fallen off over the years but I still read it for different points of view though Icy Veins I believe is still viable for many classes as a STARTING POINT. I have raided on druid for the last 3 going on 4 expansions. resto and balance being the majority of my time. 

Every time their are class changes I jump on here read what they have to say and take it out to try, though I can say I have found flaws and situations in where they are wrong the amount of work that it would take to go through every raid and dungeon fight for each class to choose a talents and when to pop what would be ridiculous, and still probably have flaws just because this game changes with every group and player that plays it. Currently for my group b/c we lack a good tank healer since disc went to the toilet, I have found Mastery>Crit is better in almost every circumstance, along with taking stone bark and ward on extremely rough fights for the tanks, or fights where big debuff are put out. Our other resto druid builds more of the AoE build with complete different talent choices. To say any guide is bad b/c it doesn't account for everything is just a flawed since of thought.

 

The best advice I can give anyone either starting raiding or  someone who has raided for years is to get as many different views as possible from as many different perspectives. Your combatlog parses many jack crap if you spent 3 hours wiping on it b/c you took the 'better healing' over the external cd, and your tank gets one shot.

The only good thing from that quote is reading your spells and talent and trying them out in many situations, but take others people knowledge as well and build upon it, being a solo player in an MMO world will just put you behind.

No, not only one talent choice, I just grabbed an example as I said at the start. ( I just guessed you all can read and understant what you read, but as I can see I was wrong ) There are a ton of idiotism at every classes, that's clearly visible that those guides are not based on any try or any sense...

Returning to the omen of clarity: Yes, lifebloom has a 4% chance, with 4setbonus it's 8% and that's why I tested it to be able to show you an exact number of procs in one minute. As I said, I can cast 9-12 free regrowth in average which is much better than + x sec HoTs on 2-3 ppl in every 1 min. Long cd for low effectiveness.

Anyway I really don't care how you guys make your characters useless by relying on such sites... At least I know why are all the LFRs, battlegrounds, random dungeons, mythic dungeons unplayable bcause of players who just don't know what does their spells do at all :)

From the Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities page (3.1)

Quote

 Lifebloom is a healing over time spell that can only be on one target at one time. You should always keep Lifebloom up on a target who is taking constant damage, such as the tank. When Lifebloom expires, it heals its target for a large amount. This means it is always recommended to let it expire from its target before refreshing it.

I'm finding that if refreshed within last 30% of the duration (<4.5 seconds) of the HoT, the bloom effect OCCURS, and refreshes duration - the maximum duration being 130% of base, as usual.

this has to do with stat priority-

in my other game certain enchants go on certain gear

 

right now ive got haste enchants on my druid but some gear wont take a haste enchant, like helm for example, is there a different enchant i can use for that?

You can't enchant helm in WoD content (armor slots enchants were removed during different expansions). Right now you can enchant a weapon (will be removed in Legion), neck, cloak and rings. Here you can read about the current state of enchanting.

Xirmac,

MoC is not a viable talent, and I doubt it is currently designed to be. It has no row 1 synergies except abundance which is a poor talent that caps in 3-5 rejuvs. The output you lose from MoC does not make up for the mana you gain. Flourish is simply far more competitive both because it is in itself very powerful, and because it synergizes with other abilties like EoG, ToL, innervate, SotF,  WG, cult and CW.

 

 

[Guest GuestDru]

Hello, 

Does Flourish consider Efflorescence/Spring Blossom as HOT?

[Manaleaf 5]

It does not consider Efflo a hot, it does consider SB a hot.

[Guest Skinnable]

Hi guys,

I liked the guide, thanks a lot to the author!

No offense but I found some build choices a bit doubtful. Here is why:

First is ofc, the Germination talent. With the current gear levels and until Legion comes, I'd say the class trinket, if obtained, is shouting at you to pick the double Rejuv as it also doubles the chance to heal your raid pet tick. In many fights, people are used to stack near each other if of course not advised otherwise. HC gear provides enough haste to make those aoe ticks frequent enough. I would not recommend giving this up for a 2min Tranq cd which will most likely not even be needed unless your raid dps is low. Many druids advised me to replace Germination with the shroom hot, but that healing over time is less than one cast of Rejuv, total waste of a talent tbh.

Second and the last spot where I wanted to add some of my personal experience is last talent tier. I currently use Moment of Clarity and considering that our mana regeneration is very bad at the moment, it is the only obvious choice, especially that it works so well with the Restoration 4-set bonus. If you place Lifebloom on both tanks you will just spam those Regrowth's all the way, what otherwise would eat your mana like hell. The other 2 talent choices are either very situational(pvp) or just not worth it because of the long cd.

I hope this will help some of you who also had doubts about those talent tiers.

Greetings!

First of all I wish to say thank you for this guide and the ones that were made before it.

I consider myself a good restoration druid in both PvP and PvE with lots of experience, and when reading the guide I had some questions / comments.

1) Please make a section for 5-man (mythic+ or even usual heroics). I saw your comment on the 5-mans - almost all talent picks are different from the raid-oriented build. The fact is that those druids, who know their class since BC will change the talents accordingly in 5-man dungeons, but those, who are new - they won't. They will consider the proposed talents optimal and will stick to it.

2) Will the guide be updated with new 110 lvl gems, enchants, food? All the info is available now.

3) I understand the talent choices for the raids (20-man). But what about those situations, where the raid consists of 10-12 people with just 2-3 healers? For example, this year I won't have a lot of time, so I'm totally skipping Mythic raiding. And as that, I will be leading a raid of 10, max 12 good people who also just want to finish Heroic Raids quickly.

In that case (in the case of 10-12 people in the raid) I consider the value of Mastery and Germination much higher. Especially when you get +3 sec on HoTs from Artifact. With just 2 healers, you will always almost want to have double Rejuvenation on both tanks (or at least the one taking damage now). And as you only have 10 people, you have a great chance to spam double Rejuvenation on half the raid. Otherwise, without Germination, I won't have much freedom to heal.

In situations, when 1-2 people from the raid get some kind of debuff from boss and require heavy healing - Germination and high Mastery also come really useful.

4) When comparing stats using weights, did you consider the following?

Mastery value can be 1x, 2x, 3x. But not less then 1x. So in some cases, which are not at all rare, value of mastery for some players will be up to x3. So additional +5% in Mastery has a potential to become +15% healing.

If Germination is not taken, the value of Mastery is, let's say, X. But if Germination is taken, the weight of Mastery becomes Y, so that Y > X.

5) What would you recommend for 10-12 man raids given 3) and 4) ?

Thank you! =)

You know, now I thought about the proposed logic that crit > mastery... And this is what i see.

Crit and Mastery values are the same, e.g. 1024 crit/mastery gives you 2.93% crit/mastery at level 110. So no difference here.

Crit gives you healing x2 when the crit occurs. But it is a bit of uncontrollable "burst" of healing. So it means you get 10000 tick heals, and then you get 20000 tick, when the crit procs. It means that crit heals are more susceptible to overhealing. The only moment it is wrong is when raid is NEVER at full HP.

Mastery gives you tick*(1+mastery%*number of HoTs). So it heals with more stability. Even for 1 HoT on the target you get increased healing. And it's less "bursty", meaning potentially less overhealing.

And now about those players that you give more HoTs (2-3). Given the Restordruid is sane and gives more HoTs to people in high need of healing - it means that people in high need of healing will get Mastery*3 more healing. Moreover, tank-healing for a druid (sometimes you need to do it) becomes much easier with high Mastery.

Mastery also buffs direct heals when there is a HoT on a target. But it doesn't buff direct heals with no HoTs on the target (Crit does). In my opinion, only a bad druid will direct-heal a player without having a single HoT on him. So this "advantage" of Crit goes away.

So, to sum it up:

Mastery is at least as good as Crit. And almost always it is better.

Crit-oriented advantages:

Direct heals on average heal for more when there is no HoT on a target

Higher chance for Living Seed (direct heals only)

Crit-oriented disadvantages:

Higher chance of overhealing

Mastery-oriented advantages:

Better healing for those, who need more healing.

Easier and better tank healing.

Often Mastery*2 proc due to Rejuv+WG and so on.

Mastery-oriented disadvantages:

Less healing when direct healing a target without HoTs (which should almost never happen)

Conclusion

Mastery is at least as good as Crit, and almost always better.

Stat priority:

5-man:

intellect > mastery > haste > crit = versatility (germination >>> spring blossoms, inner peace situational)

10-15 man:

intellect > haste = mastery > crit = versatility (germination > spring blossoms, inner peace situational)

20+ man:

intellect > haste > mastery > crit = versatility (spring blossoms > germination, inner peace situational)

Haste is listed as a top priority stat, but one of its features is missing. Haste increases the speed at which HoT tick without reducing the total time the HoT stays on the target. As such, it allows for EXTRA ticks of the hot to occur in excess of the normal base amount of ticks. For example, if 10 ticks happen in 10 seconds, but you get a 50% speed increase from haste, the entire 10 seconds of healing would occur in the first 5 seconds of the spell. Then there would be 5 "bonus" seconds of free ticks afterwards. 

Hope this makes sense. And please, correct me if I'm wrong! This is a huge feature of haste that isn't mentioned at least from what I could tell.

You are right in theory :) But I have to mention (so people that are not familiar with the math wouldn't think that it's possible to stack Haste up to gaining 50% healing bonus) that in a normal situation your gain would be more between a partial and 1 tick (not 5), but it's still a good bonus.

So versatility should be completely avoided right now on live and in Legion?

Well, 'avoided' wouldn't be the exact word. You shouldn't prioritize it - that's right but don't DE an item just because it has Vers. Higher ilvl still matters more, same as a big amount of your best secondary stat.

I don't raid in pre-patch (thanks God for the break^^) but in Legion with the Resto new Mastery, you are going to prio Haste and Crit in raids>Mastery=Vers and Mastery > Haste&Crit > Vers in 5-man.

The new Mastery is very strong when you are able to stack a lot of HoTs on a single target. This is exactly what druids would be able to do in 5-man for tanks (so Mastery goes first) but one wouldn't take a deep single target build for raid healing and in this case Mastery goes down.

RDSW counts the real time contribution excluding overheal of a single point of each stat over an encounter. Crit is more often than not better than even haste, and far above mastery and versatility. You have to keep in mind that theory crafting is a lot more complicated than the simple terms you defined it here. For example while a crit is more likely to overheal, a hot tick crit is pretty safe. In anycase RDSW does the math for you to compute the point by point value of your secondary stats.

 

As it stands, Haste and Crit are fighting for first and second. I've seen crit more often in the lead, but this may change when legion raiding kicks on. Trailing behind them significantly is mastery then versatility.

Let's then speak about the complexity of theorycrafting.

Can you explain using logic and theory why crit can be better then mastery, given that mastery multiplies itself by x2 and x3, and crit is just a plain stat?

For example, in the same topic you were saying (like with 100% assurance) that:

Quote

CW is 4.58 times stronger than Props in Heal Per Mana Per Spell Power.

Then there was a discussion for like 5-10-15 pages that this is illogical and wrong. And people proved to you that math was wrong. At least 4 times wrong.

Same here. You say it's very complex. The big theorycrafting is complex indeed - but this is just the comparison of quite simple secondary stats. Critical Strike was never great for Druids. But in Legion in appears that it is. Why? Were there any big changes to Critical Strike mechanics? Haste was good and is good. At least here we agree. Mastery was great, and as I see it now - it's even greater now for small groups (5-10), and good for 20-man. Crit - nothing changed.

Please, tell me using common language, logic, formulas (and so on) how Crit suddenly became so good, even much better than Mastery?

Thank you.

P.S.: I'm myself a financial analyst. Using a lot of VBA. If logic says the results (or some of them) are wrong - usually it ends by digging into the code and finding the mistakes (in formulas, code logic, anything). If results don't have logic behind them - they are wrong almost always.

P.S.S.: as for WoW, I'm not saying I'm a pro player. I don't have all the time to invest in Raids, given family, job, interests. But in WoD I was in Top 1-10 list of restoration druids on a lot of bosses (warcraftlogs). As for Arena, 2200-2500 is my usual arena rating. So not "Pro", but I'm a very fine restoration druid.

I am fixing this right now. Thanks for reminding me.

[Guest Killerpirate]

So i noticed you placed Moment Of Clarity on the never pick list.  It seems like the author doesn't understand this talent.  Let me try and explain a little about it.  It allows your moment of clarity to give you 3 casts of regrowth completely free.  With some artifact talents, this can also allow for 6 free regrowths to be spread among the group.  Early on when damage is high and knowledge is low mana usage will be high so this does help quite a bit.  Also when paired with the big incarnation tree, it definitely helps on the instant cast spam to not go oom so fast.  

This is information I am sure you know already.  However what is missing from this is the fact that when you have your feral ability the moment of clarity increases your energy max by 30.  This effectively allows you to easily apply rake, shred*4, rip, and back to reapplying your dots before getting energy locked.  Without it you will get stuck on the shreds for a few seconds and its pretty slow regen on energy as resto.  This technique REALLY helps your dps in dungeons, to the point I am always beating at least one dps in the group.  If you are wanting more dps in dungeons, choose Moment of Clarity.  This should be mentioned in your guide.

Another thing that is missing in your guide is how incarnation should be macroed with innervate to help save mana.  This allows you to go crazy on heals and just spam as much as you can for the window of time without fear of going oom.  Its amazing.  This by the way is where the first tier talent Abundance comes into play.  Again this guide says never pick it but you never mention how it can possibly be used which is amazing.  When you do incarnation and innervate this allows for you to spread your hots a lot and if you use germination this is even more crazy.  At this point, if you are using Abundance, all your healing touches are instant cast and all your regrowths that you are spamming are stronger.  This allows for so much raid healing it is insane.  Pair this with another boomkin innervate with the haste boost and druid wont be able to be beat.  The author should really look more into the not so obvious choices and try them out before writing them off.

Hello!

I appreciate your post. I've read it, considered it, and discussed it also with Gamko who reviews the guide as our "expert".

First of all, Power of the Archdruid can indeed allow you to apply 2 additional Regrowths if it procs (not sure where you got 6 from), but using it on Regrowth is probably not ideal anyway, at least not for maximum HPS.

We don't recommend Moment of Clarity, and we stand by this, but that doesn't mean you or others shouldn't feel free to try it out. We have a duty to "guide" people along the path that we feel produces the best results, consistently. There are very many combinations of things that "can work" in certain situations (especially now with combinations of talents, artifact traits and relics, legendary items, and eventually set bonuses), but we can't entertain every possibility. It would be nearly impossible to maintain the guides, not to mention that it would turn the guides into novels, which we definitely want to avoid.

Now, regarding Feral Affinity, you may be right, but we still feel that for progression content (which is what our guides are written for), Guardian Affinity is simply the best choice.

Regarding Tree of Life + Innervate, that's a good idea and I'll include that macro in the guide. But we still can't recommend taking Abundance, even though it does of course work with Tree of Life. See the above rant about covering every possible combination.

Kirr is mostly correct. The guides were initially (before Legion) written with a raid progression context in mind. We've expanded that to dungeon progression (Mythic+) where applicable (though there's more work to be done on that front, I admit). In any case, raiding is the main focus and we always only look at progression content (meaning places where if you aren't well optimised, you're dragging the raid down).

[Guest Justanothernoob]

I have a few questions:

Is the tooltip of our mastery correct? (I looked it up on wowhead)

Quote

Your healing is increased by 5% for each of your Restoration heal over time effects on the target$witch<1>[][, up to3].

So whatever happens, we can only get the masterybuff only 3 times.

This means that Germination is only viable if the whole party gets constant dmg or am I wrong? I think the second Rejuvenation would cause too much overheal. I would actually prefer the hot you get when healed by our aoeheal because of being a hot.

As far as my dungeonexp goes for now I havn't seen any encounter where the tank got high constant dmg which renders a second Rejuvenation just as useless as well? Though I mainly did nhc and not every dungeon. (Gearscore...) So isn't Spring Blossoms better than Germination because of being free and saving time?

So my hots on the tank are Rejuvenation, Lifebloom and Regrowth. This leaves me with the maximum of 3 stacks of the masterybuff if this information is correct. Since it's more or less rnd which target gets healed by our aoe I don't count that for the tank.

For the party- and raidheal I would cast Rejuvenation on everyone/many and depending on the hot from Spring Blossoms plus Wild Growth and then heal those directly which are too damaged to depend on the hots.

I think I would have more time to cast Moonfire and Sunfire or simply to move than I would have if I had to give everyone two Rejuvenations. Not to mention manacosts. Doing this I would like to try and go for mastery and crit once again.

I do like mastery more because you probably forgot it stacks three times. Oh I forgot. The buff doesn't only affect direct heals anymore but our hots just as well! And since I get 1% for 583 mastery and this still needs to be multiplied with 3 I end up with 1% healincrease every 194 points. For haste I get 1% every 324 points and for 349 I get 1% crit.

Since Efflorescence heals randomly injured people in the field, I assume that at most 9 people can be influenced by Spring Blossoms at the same time granting me one masterystack on those for free. My raid is going to be 10 to 16 people which is why this is perfect for me.

Another question: Why is it wrong to let Lifebloom expire and refresh it right after that. Of course only if one can manage to do so?

And why is everyone obsessed with haste? I like crit more because of a passive and it's perk on the artifact. (Assuming that we are to use power in our healing weapon.)

I do know that my thoughts are often wrong or strange.

[Guest Kîba]

This guide is so bad :D
