This guide is so bad :D

This post is so useless.  Just saying something is bad without pointing out its flaws doesn't help at all, as how are we to discern for ourselves what you consider bad about it?

'Power of the Archdruid' is currently heavily underperforming. It looks like a good choice but in reality it proccs much less frequently than 25% of the time, also 25% of Wild Growths even if it was truly that, is once every 40 seconds....weak, needs to be fixed and buffed significantly.

Our general artifact path seems to agree and puts it fairly far down on the priority. Thanks for confirming it though!

Hey.

 

So I've played pala tanks and priest healer the past couple of expansions but stopped playing when the pre patch came out due to feeling more drawn by shadow than disc or holy, so now that I've finally fired up Legion, I went for my druid first. However, I can't really decided what's best and sadly, this guide sort of agrees with me. Higher output or lower mana cost?

 

Is option 1 really "the best", and how long do you guys think it'll take to get the full tree as a casual player? (Playing between 1 and 6 hours per days, put average at 2-3)

 

Good guide and good help, that aside. Thanks!

Putting the 20/20 trait aside, it honestly doesn't take long to fill the tree. You will find a HUGE amount of AP at max level, especially after researching the Artifact Knowledge. With your playing hours, you could probably max it in less than 2 weeks.

Maxing the artifact will take a lot longer than 2 weeks.  Getting the first 20 traits will take ~3 weeks and getting 34/34 traits will take ~14, and that's given you do everything you can per week (a whole lot of world quests, daily heroic, all mythical) but doesn't account for treasure drops from rates of chests.

Orthios is right, my bad. I was still in Beta mode, using numbers I had for the order hall guides that factored in a LOT of research. Thanks for the correction, I just didn't think!

One very important skill you have not mentioned. Solar Wrath is a non mana consuming attack that also heals for a %age of the damage done (heal can range from below or over the initial heal of a regrowth) this provides resto druids with amazing damage and the much needed mana manipulation and also provides the class the ability to cope with light bursts of damage. This will also provide the group or raid with another dps if dps is needed on ads or bosses. Due to solar Wrath not consuming mana this allows the class to better deal with the 'oh im out of mana and can no longer heal' issues from overuse and mismanagement of spells.

Wrong expansion. It was changed in Legion.

Was this a baseline ability or was it added via a passive/talent/glyph?

When I'm testing on a target dummy, I seem to be getting benefit from mastery up to atleast 5 HOTs instead of just 3.  am I missing something? Can anyone confirm this?

Well, yes. I found this difference too - the database (wowdb and wowhead tooltips) shows this:

m2.png

while the in-game tooltip shows this:

 m1.png

People are reporting a non-restricted to 3 buffs healing increase, same as all the big resto guides I checked.

So... I don't know, maybe a tooltip mistake or the opposite: the free rise was unintended and will be fixed.

So I have a lvl 80 druid healer, what would be the best way to do the artifacts?, just pick the healer artifact and run balance?

select whatever spec you want to use to level when you do the intro quest at 100, then pick up the resto artifact at 102 when the rest of the quests open up.  If you want to you can save the AP you accumulate from 100 - 102 to use on ghanir when you get it, but the amount will be pretty inconsequential so there's no real need to bother with that.

Hello, I am the Author of Resto Druid Stat Weights. A Weak Aura that computes the value of our secondary Stat Weights in real time as you play. While I am sure the Stat Weights here are designed as blanket values, the RDSW Weak Aura can show you the objective value of your secondary stats for both all healing, and boss-only healing.

Please see this thread for download information.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/20743575960?page=31#601

In my personal experience I have found that versatility almost never out-performs mastery. On select encounters with I:ToL and Cult builds I have seen mastery jump around from 1st to 3rd. 
With SotF builds I have also seen crit out perform haste, but it is not consistent.

If you download the tiny addon in the link above, RDSW will record your session to a lua file. I am looking for volunteers with Beta Access and who are actively raiding on the beta to deposit their records in the google drive posted in the link. This is 100% optional, but the more records we compile, the better an image of our real stat values we can get.


Please visit the link above for more information and Feel free to add Leaf#1485 if you have any questions.

is this still working/up-to-date?  Your beta forum link is dead and the wowace page doesn't have a working link to the WA anymore

My Naglfar Fare Icon Naglfar Fare ilvl 825 trinket does twice as much healing (including the absorption) as compared to my ilvl 850 Concave Reflecting Lens Icon Concave Reflecting Lens .... just a heads up, as you've put Naglfar as a secondary option. I'd put it on top.

Thanks for pointing this out, we'll take a look and re-assess if need be!

I can confirm this as well.

I have a question about thhis. Is Germination and Efloresence counted as a buff to your Mastery stacking, as I senn different answers on this? If they both count that means that based on talent choises you can have up to 7 stacks of M:H on a single target (Rejuv, Regrowth, Scenario Wand, Life Bloom, Germination, Wild Growth and Efflorescence). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Germination does, I'm not certain about Efflorescence though.

Efflorescence doesnt count, but the Hot effect that gets added through the Spring Blossoms talent does. Germination also counts. But since you can't have both the Germination and the Spring Blossom talents, the max. amount would be 6.

Scenario Wand = cenarion ward, also counts but ofc only the Hot portion of it (so after it has procced from taking damage)

Looks like we just posted at the same time! Thanks for clearing up the other half of the question that I couldn't answer.

Forgot about cultivation, which also counts! So that actually makes it 7 ;)

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
