The term "meta" should be replaced.  Seriously.

Why is nourish not even listed for a pvp talent? It's honestly one of the most op things about rdruids atm, and what exactly is the reasoning behind mastery being the lowest on stat priority? Also it says haste is the strongest secondary stat because it reduces global cooldown and reduces cast time, but isn't even mentioned how haste increases your tick rate of hots, which is basically the sole reason haste is so good for resto druids.

I totally agree with nourish being op. Not only does it contribute to mana saving (as you don't have to reapply your hots as often), it also allows to spend more time just spamming solar wrath. Should i even mention how good the tree of life becomes with nourish?

As for stat priority, shouldn't mastery be at least as good as haste? In M+ mastery is by far the go to stat followed up by haste and crit. Is crit not as good in arena due to mana concerns? What's the reasoning behind crit being second best stat other than having more chances for those nasty 50k+ swiftmends.

And finally, i'm curious if Grove Tending is still the best trait after that 25% nerf. It feels like the Rampant Growth is the next best thing along side the Waking Dream. I'm not 100% sure about it, that's basically the reason i was looking a guide.

Other than that great job on the guide. It lack a few details and explations but it's the best one i found online.

So this guide tells us...:

- Never use Tree? How about using Tree + Nourish vs double DPS in 2v2 or some other occasions?

- Nourish is not even mentioned? It is used vs a lot of setups and is extremely powerful.

- Rampant Growth is good for some reason? It is "okay" and can be used, but it's not even close to top tier azerite traits.

- Haste > Critical Strike > Versatility > Mastery? Really? How about Mastery >= Haste > Versatility >= Critical Strike?

- Never use Feral Affinity? How about use it vs some setups (vs mages in 2v2?)

- How about that Freedom PvP talent in both 2v2 and 3v3?

 

I don't know. This seems written by someone who does not play Druid now.

Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:

• Restoration Druid + Havoc Demon Hunter;
• Restoration Druid + Arms Warrior;
• Restoration Druid + Subtlety Rogue;
• Restoration Druid + Frost/Arcane Mage.

Not really.
