I'm beginning to think we'll need every point of extra healing we can get however, since Blizzard has made it abundantly clear that the whole infinite mana thing (which they didn't even make a dent in with that last attempt to fix it) will be quite definitely gone.

On the other hand, stacking haste out the wazoo might just become way too fun, watching all the little green numbers crowd up the screen and giggling like a madman.

Except a really nice madman who likes helping people...

I need to work on my metaphors...

All HoTs and DoTs will benefit from Haste and Crit innately. Hasted HoTs and DoTs will not have a shorter duration, just a shorter period in between ticks (meaning they will gain extra ticks to fill in the duration as appropriate).


I can safely assume this will apply to druids.

I don't think I was very clear.

I know this is what is going to happen, but I'm concerned that it might not be as much of a boost as I'm hoping it is.

eg. They implement the haste thing tomorrow. My healing would go through the roof.

If they are planning to do this with the expansion, perhaps the amount of healing required will be so much higher that we really won't see a huge change in terms of the power of haste...

Just me idly wondering, hopefully it is as powerful and fun as you say.

So I'm back, although still very casual. Spent the last couple days building up emblems to get my new project the heirloom chest, shoulders and weapon... It's funny how fast the que pops on random dungeons just from hitting healer as well as dps. Out of 25 runs I haven't dps'd one :P Anyway...Arex...I finally have a pally...she just hit 10 last night...name's Kilamydia >.>

Try the tank queue.

It is hilarious.

I get pissed if I wait more than 3 seconds.

Woot! Galen I just started an orc warrior named Prisms.

I'm not on until late at night usually or if I'm in school on break (or in class when I feel lazy).

All my old toons still have the same names Arex/Einziger.

Yeah, I don't play very often, an hour or two here and there. Wife aggro and casual-itis... so yeah. I'll roll a hordie at some point and say hi :P

Can you get 10 Rejuvs rolling with the glyph? And can you weave a Wild Growth into that? Really, the more I play around with Glyph of RR, it seems it's more of a tank healing glyph. That glyph plus the Nourish glyph makes for sexy single target healing.

I'm anxious to see what will happen in Cataclysm. According to the developers, DoTs will be changed to innately benefit from haste, but it will add ticks to the duration instead of lowering it. Imagine getting the full duration on Rejuv, but with additional ticks. Dear god, I'd marry it.


Ya I have around enough time for about 12 casts right now, so it makes for a nice tight 5x1 rotation. It's driving me nuts on other fights. The hard part is I can't blanket everyone with RJ and have enough time to do anything else useful. Those fights with random spiky damage are more annoying. They make me miss the longer duration RJ and the swiftmend glyph I gave up.

Edited for more bored druid thoughts:

I'm actually kinda looking forward to some change in Cata healing. I mean right now our whole raid-healing strat is based around having a Disc. priest and a resto druid having 5 HoTs and a bubble to smooth out the spikey damage, and praying RNG doesn't bite us in the butt. I'll gladly take on the mana concerns if it means I have an extra 1/2 second or so to react to the incoming damage.

Or maybe i just feel my reaction time going south as I age...

Hopped on my Druid for a couple of hours tonight. Spent a good 1k gold and a bit of time replacing all the tanking gems and talents/glyphs with DPS instead. Phew, I think I've finally got the hang of this Kitty thing. I guess playing all those DPS classes has gotten rid of the sloppy reaction times I gained from tanking so much.

Anyway, still need to replace some gems and get the FoS trinket. Then I might just consider moving it to Kazzak. Not really sure yet. Every time I log on it, though, I feel like this is my true main. My Shaman is cool, but it lacks the complete freedom I get with my Druid. I've said it before, but this game seriously becomes a playground when you're playing a Druid.

SLOW FORUM IS SLOW!

Stop stumbling about in the General forum. We're losing posts to the Rogue forum.

Dude, theirs is at 1485 or so, ours breaks 2k. Relax.

We also did it in half the time.

But yes, more druid new talk and other stuff please.

That being said, I'm at 87 frost badge. Resisting the need to get a Skeleton Key as I like my normal trinket setup.

Might start getting cat gear or hoarding them. So opinions would be nice.

Get the trinket even though I don't like it, get cat gear, save for cat tier?

edit: If I win a piece of T10 in VoA my choice has been made for me but that is very unlikely.

I couldn't find enough people for Noth the Plaguebringer, so I invited extra DPS and solo-healed it without issues. Nice to know.

Also, can someone from Aposematic invite Pawsome when they come on? Mazra is still taken, so I had to go with another silly name.

Why would you 2 heal or 2 tank any of the T7 raid weeklies? Silly Maz.

Gratz. Confidence boost me thinks it was. :)

More so than anything, yes. Really didn't think I'd be able to heal that place solo, but it was a walk in the park compared to, say, HoR heroic.

Now my Druid is stuck at 4977 GS as Kitty DPS, even with a useless +hit trinket. Seriously hate the EoT trinkets. I hope the NES trinket drops today so I can pop 5k and get that last bit of ArP.

Edit: Good news is that I broke 5k DPS on single target during an earlier HoR run. And I did 3.5k DPS on the first boss, which was quite a feat considering better geared people did half that much (every time he fears, he reduces damage taken, up to 75% or so).

It's not a guaranteed drop, though, is it? And I really need the GearScore from the NES trinket, because people are already requesting 5.3k GS to enter ToC10, which I find very amusing, considering I healed and tanked my way through that place with 1k less.

I betrayed all of mankind today.
I pushed a woman into a shoe store.
I shall try and save my soul by drinking beer, burping loudly and scratching my *** in front of said woman.

Well since I meant EoH and not EoE, it isn't even a drop since its badges. Also can't you link the achievement and get in to groups? Gearscore is dumb but finding good trinkets is dumber.

I get this mental image of her walking in and out of a million shops while making squealing noises and talking nonsense.

Also, Horse, the Mirror of Truth is a +1k AP trinket, not an ArPen trinket. Already have and use the Brewfest equivalent to MoT. Need the NES to get my ArPen proc for sexy damage.
