Resto Druid talents Force of Nature and Nature's vigil

Recommended Posts

Got back into playing resto from feral. I would like to know if FoN applies aoe heal and same time doing HT on low hP friendlies. At the same time I had been thinking would NV would be applicable to the direct healing of FoN to give some dps, and would that be a higher thorough put in terms of overall heals versus incarnation since the cd of FoN is 30 secs versus 3minutes for Incarnation.

I just don't have the knowledge of theory crafting nor even the smarts to crunch numbers on this. Any input would be appreciated.

FoN is not great at all for Resto.  Its healing lacks some what (and im not sure if it smart casts HT on other players or just the one you casted it on)

 

SotF is usually ALWAYS better than Inc, but Inc can have its uses in heavy burst situations, while you can line up SotF for small burst situations (which there are plenty of in SoO)

 

As for NV, I personally love having NV, its just a nice little healing boost when you want it and can work well with SotF WG.  Though HotW will give you more overall healing just based on stats alone.

 

I'm progression on heroic Paragons, and I've switched to HotW there because we are CCing adds and I felt like NV was breaking them.

Resto INC is great for burst healing, but on the other hand, you can also look at it as a mana regen cooldown. If you try and lifebloom as many people as possible while in INC, you will find that you get a substantial amount of clearcasting procs which means a ton of FREE regrowths. With that being said, I agree with Krazy, SotF is 99.999999% the way to roll, unless your preferred content is on farm, and you want to try out some different things for the heck of it.

Go go gadget +5 Rod of Necromancy!

 

Seriously though...

 

Inc isn't that great for burst healing. It's great for "OH MY GOD ITS ALL HITTING THE FAN BOMB REGROWTH ON EVERYONE OR THEYRE GOING TO DIE" uber triage healing. It's great for when you need a big CD to last through heavy sustained damage. It's great for healing through raid damage while conserving a lot of mana.

 

Problems:

 

You should never be in a position that you're bombing that kind of heals. That's not burst healing. That's not quickly getting out a lot of healing. That's just barely staying a head of an already lost situation.  If you get to the point that you're doing that level of triage healing on a resto druid, you've already wiped. Our 90 talents can also buff our heals for this the same.

 

We also have other long-lasting CDs that can do heavy sustained damage (Tranq/90 talents).

 

Between Lucidity, Clearcasting, and Efflorescence/Wild Mushroom, you should never have mana issues of any kind.

 

SotF provides burst healing through WG. Genesis with Rejuv on several people gives burst. Wild Mushroom: Bloom gives us massive burst healing (in our 10-man, it's about 40% when all of us are in it together). SotF also gives us the highest burst HPS of any healer in the game if we use it with Tranquility. Seriously, nothing's touching that kind of healing.

      Hi Team
      I am recently returning from a few years away from the game and I have decided to go back to my much loved main throughout wrath, the feral druid. I have always been a cut above the rest and managed to be top dps all through wrath. 
      I was reading your guide and noticed in the talents you don't take savage roar. Can you explain the match behind this as to me it seems like the more viable option.

      Hello everyone! When i downloaded the recent shadowlands expansion, i noticed that my macros no longer worked =0. This is not a single target DPS  macro, this is a Help / Harm selective macro So i did some digging to find out what was goin on, An example of this would be : /cast [help] Innervate ; [harm] Entangling Roots ; Innervate.  This macro utilizes one button for a dual purpose. if i am targeted on friend i innervate them while if i and targeting a opponent it would root them in place. This structure is now broken but has also made things easier in most cases, After doing some digging i discovered some new macros and the new format. Some examples of the new way to write this would be :
       #showtooltip
      /cast [help,nodead][help,nodead]innervate
      /cast [harm,nodead][harm,nodead]Entangling Roots
      #showtooltip
      /cast [help,nodead][help,nodead]Regrowth
      /cast [harm,nodead][harm,nodead]Wrath
      #showtooltip
      /cast [harm,nodead][@target,harm,nodead]Moonfire
      /cast [help,nodead][@target,help,nodead]Rejuvenation
      #showtooltip
      /cast [help,nodead][help,nodead]Wild Growth
      /cast [harm,nodead][harm,nodead]Entangling Roots
      This is what they call a fall through macro, If the first line of code is not available because of a cooldown or if the Help or Harm selection, it will fall through to the next line of code. This works especially well for balance druids, shaman, and hybrid healing classes that use a ton of buttons. You can cut the amount of keys you need press in half which saves space and prevents accidentally pressings the wrong button. I like to pair my spells by the time it takes to cast, Instant casts with instant casts. They also introduces a mouse over macro for heals and rebuffs which is really good for world PVP. One of the better macros iv'e seen is a mouse over Rebirth : 
       #showtooltip Rebirth
      /cast [@mouseover,help]Rebirth;Rebirth
      #showtooltip Remove Corruption
      /cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead][target=target] Remove Corruption
       
      If you are going to try and make your own macro, you should keep in mind
      1: The Global Cool Down or GCD which is the time it takes between 2 casts and
      2: Not all of your spells and trinkets share a GCD, so you are able to cast 2 or 3 spells at the exact same time as long as it doesn't share a GCD.
      I hope this helps!
