Fuck Druids

[Charismatic]

KRYE, FUCK MAN HELP ME OUT. I DON'T TRUST ANYONE ELSE HERE CEPT MAYBE DAY BUT YOU SEEM TO BE A BIT MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE FROM WHAT I CAN TELL.

Both specs used to be fucking crazy, but they both got beat to the fucking ground with the nerf bat.

Holy used to have Circle of Healing with no cooldown, CoH is a smart heal that heals your target and the five targets around him that have the lowest health, so you could just spam CoH all day and keep everyone up. CoH is still a pretty good spell, but now you can only use it once every 6 seconds.

Disc used to have Rapture which returned a percentage of your mana based on how much you healed for. So you could get all intellect gear and int gems and raid buffs and your mana would be so high that you would actually get mana back from healing. Discipline literally had infinite mana and you could just spam heals all day. Now Rapture only returns like 8% of your mana per minute.

Don't fucking act like you don't 'know your enemy' and feed me any 'I don't play druid' crap.

[Day]

He is. I know very little of druids. Just get to 80, spec resto and run around pillars seems to work.

Dude, I don't know shit about leveling a druid. The talent trees are fairly intuitive, it shouldn't be hard to figure out what is good and what isn't. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it's best to level as a feral druid, that way your damage isn't limited by mana and you can still pop into caster form and heal when you need to.

[Charismatic]

Thanks Krye and Day although I bet you know everything about leveling a Druid.
My intuition tells me so.

[Day]

Yeah level Feral imo

[Day]

I still don't believe you though.

I leveled 1-80 as disc/holy, but that was before the 40% mana regen nerf so I don't know how much more difficult it would be now. Even if you don't want to go shadow, 3 points in spirit tap is mandatory.

good point, i am only lvl 22 so almost to that mp regen while casting talents while will help, but for sure i'll do spirit tap as well since mana is my biggest downtime

Whats the 'real' healing spec for priest, holy or discipline.

afaik disc is better (or should I say lazier?) for like 5 man things, whereas holy is for raids.

my fiance was originally doing priest till he switched to shaman. whenever he was disc he was bored out of his mind cause he could pretty much power shield the tank and afk the rest of the fight.

char i would also vote feral btw

Druid builds - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft

scroll down there's a basic lvling build that you can use. you can always do some things different but since you're new it might be good to start with that and see later on what you want to change.

I was in some fail toc group and the priest would just chain cast greater heal, I wasn't sure if he was some other spec that only had a few heals but he was just an idiot. What kind of damage can a geared priests shield absorb?

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

For extreme mode level as resto druid

Extreme how?

Power Word: Shield only absorbs like 5-7K depending on stats and raid buffs. Greater heal is stupid in any situation, flash heal has just about the same mana efficiency and throughput. If you're discipline, flash heal is cheaper and has extra crit, if you're holy you'll be getting a lot of instant cast free flash heals from Surge of Light procs. SoL is a 50% chance when you crit to give you a free instant Fheal, and I have a 35%~ holy crit chance unbuffed as holy, so I hit CoH which hits 6 targets and I'm pretty much guaranteed a SoL proc. If I'm discipline, 30% of the amount that I crit for is added on as an extra shield, and I have 40%~ holy crit unbuffed, so I just spam Fheal all day and heal my tank for 8K every 1.5 seconds and add a 2.5K~ shield.

[Krye]

Extreme how?

Extremely slow and difficult.

As a healer it took me 10-15 seconds to kill a mob.

As shadow it takes me about 3 seconds.

This game sucks enough as is... why would I do that?

to take it to the EXTREME.....also check out that link I posted.

Shadow doesn't really shine until you get Vampiritc touch though.

But once you have it you can run from mob to mob and all you have to do is cast VT>SW: P and they'll die before the dots wear off and spirit tap will be up continuously. With my gear at level 80, spirit tap gives me 200 mana per second, even when I'm in combat.

[Ohaigaiz]

Holy is raid healing(PoH, CoH) and disc is single target heals(Divine aegis, penace, pw:s etc)
