    Maybe unpopular opinion, I am *so glad* that Photosynthesis and Flourish are now a choice node. Particularly in raids without Undergrowth, PS basically turns Lifebloom into a 15 second duration haste buff that you just cast whenever the Weakaura comes up. It's amazingly boring and the healing is wasted, but it's so strong you can't avoid it. Giving me the option to avoid it by taking a talent that I love is a huge win.

  • @nameyourdopamine8085
    @nameyourdopamine80854 ай бұрын

    Without having checked the Hero talents much, at first glance all I am thinking is, how can resto druids not get compensated by not having adaptive swarm (20% heal/dmg) which is a lot, and on top of that (at least in m+) not having flourish, a really nice 1 min CD. And again, on top of that (if im not mistaken) back in bfa when Photosynthesis and Flourish shared talent, Florish at least was a really good CD with 100% increased HoT rate, now it feels really bad to be 25% and having to choose either Photo or Floursh. The interrupt is kinda nice, but at the same time, it feels like they locked away Incap roar (our aoe stop) instead of the interrupt, and tbh, I appreciated the aoe stop way more than interrupt. Feels also weird that Fluid Form doesn't include Skull Bash, and the only ability to shift into bear form is Mangle, they could've easily added Frenzied Regeneration to better sync with resto + balance spec. My overall opinion is kinda meh (Still without Hero talents taken into consideration). Edit: just typos Edit 2: Forgot to mention, I think a really good QoL change to Call of the Elder Druid would be to make the effect take place once you start to deal any damage. The way it seem to work now makes so you will waste that 1 minute CD if you shift to catform to just run/gaint he movement speed.

    They are doing the right thing with removing some of the bloat. The multiplicative power of all these talents is too strong and boring since half of them are just maintenance buffs (which they targeted first). I understand that it doesn't feel good to become weaker and maybe less flexible BUT it's a necessary evil to make healing less stressful to play inside m+ and more fun to play in raids. I'd rather them dumb down the rotation a bit (which just makes you overheal anyway) and power up the actual healing spells so they feel more impactful

    @@user-nz4un6se7y I totally agree with removing some of the bloat, I actually advocated for that, but to remove the insane numbers that comes from adaptive swarm and Flourish, and no boomkin for resto, without making it up (yet) is what im and many others are confused about. As a resto druid myself I love that they get rid of adaptive swarm, cuz it felt just like another passive GCD to press, but they need to power up the healing spells like you said which they havent yet! I also agree to some extent about ''healers less stressful in m+'', cuz this current season it was really stressful, however, the downside of that is that we often become more of a DPS class, and if I wanted to play DPS, I would, but I do play healer, and we should heal more than DPS.

    ​@@nameyourdopamine8085 Playing healer can absolutely be stress free (sorta) without requiring to dps. If you look at most instances of healing in WoW it's been much slower with constant but reasonable damage that would engage you as a healer (triage healing) but not make you lose all your shit every 10 sec or so. It's actually so sad they can't get it right with all the best examples of healing being live right now (Cata & SoD). You weren't fighting for the lives of your team mates all the time as you do now, it was more about efficiency. Imagine how bad dps players would feel if 99% of encounters they had to 1-2 shot low hp mobs that spawn in numbers every second or they'll detonate. It's just stressful and doesn't allow you to use your rotation as intended.

    Sad to see adaptive swarm go, but being able to pick all that utililty easier and finally getting a kick without dropping it all or defensive talents + more HotW with healing through it is hyuuuge hype especially with fluid form. Even if it doesnt heal as much as MW or Disc itll help pad enough to stay in and dps for longer. Hoping to see a rework on flourish to make it worth while picking up in raid. Like rejuv casts also applying regrowth and wild growth on the target like how Overgrowth works. Or wild growth applying rejuvs along

  • @riptide828

    Fluid Form should have been baseline 1337% Heal through dps is cool if it does not create more heal than pure healing. Ever since they made disciplin priest which should have been a mix of dps and heal, they never really made it work as it does just about the same hps but does a lot more dps than the others. There should be throughput x and as a healer I want to be able to shift x around as I want between hps and dps so one spec 1/3 dps 2/3 hps, the other spec 1/5 hps 4/5 dps for example. But blizzard absolutely needs to do something about the fact that too much is expected from a healer. Heal, DPS, cc, affix and the list goes on. CC/DPS/HPS need to be choice nodes and very strict ones so that the group has to decide what they really want.

    Imo the healer role should stay healing a larger portion of its time. Nowadays every healer has a dmg rotation and i fell that makes them all look the same. Maybe blizzards could change the dmg pattern (More HP pool and less heal and dmg) in a way that healers spend more time healing and evaluating what spell should be cast on each situation thinking about eficiency and speed of the heal.

    Flourish will never get picked. 20% constant faster hps vs 25% 8 sec hps increase with a min cd is a no brainer choice. They should have just axed it if this is how they want to go about it. With that said, changes are nice for m+ dps in general but makes rdruid even more useless in raid. They really have to address ramping and mana issues in raids, especially if flourish will stay as is or will get axed. Without flourish and luxuriant soil, I can see rdruids falling far behind in hps in raid environments and long fights.

    It certainly is the nail in the coffin. With pet healing, luxuriant gone and flourish the way it is, they managed to turn rdruid into a freakshow healer that brings nothing special and loses all healing snipe battles. For a class that's played this much, the fact that class designers can't really understand the reason why people play resto is amazing. They want everybody to play shapeshifter/catweaver... big L for Blizz. Small indie company indeed....
