Resto Questions
I'm going to do the usual preemptive apology if some of this was asked already, more so if a thread in the sticky does have this information. I'm having a hard time finding it anywhere. The majority of information seems to be on how to gear, and I'm more interested in several other
1. How exactly does Bonus Healing apply to our HoT spells, particularly ones such as Regrowth or Lifebloom, where there's a burst heal with the HoT? I'm assuming that with spells such as Rejuv or WG, it's just spread over the time of the entire heal.
2. A lot of the gear I have is stuff I collected while doing quests as a feral before I switched to Rejuv (I was planning on waiting until dual spec, but I really just wasn't finding dungeons as a kitty to be particuarly enjoyable - the rotation was just too much for me to handle). This had led to a general lack of knowledge of how to gear. I've gotten most of it down by now, and definitely know what is good or not for a Resto Druid. I still have a couple questions though:
(Also Armory link in case that helps: I'm aware the idol isn't meant for healing, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to go about getting one, and it looks like my only solution is Grizzly Hills)
A) Is a staff considered the weapon of choice still? I understand that my goal isn't damage anymore, I'm just wondering at what point (if ever) I'm better off ditching the staff for a Main Hand weapon and Off Hand item. I'm sure there's a combination of the two now that will be more beneficial to my stats, but I'd still like to know exactly how weapons work.
B) What +Healing should I be aiming for before I do heroics? As of right now I have 1104 unbuffed in tree form. I definitely plan on doing some regular dungeons to upgrade my head, necklace, rings, and trinkets before regularly doing heroics for any upgrades those will provide, but I'd still like to be able to help a(n) (ex-)guildie in one if they ask. For some reason I have the number 1400 in my head.
I'm sure I had more, but that's ok. I'll either get over it, figure them out myself, or maybe ask them here. I greatly appreciate any help you guys provide. I've always been rather nervous about playing a healer in a game, some silliness about keeping everyone alive, but the mechanics behind Druid healing just seem like a lot of fun to me. I dislike traditional healing, but I feel like there's a lot of potential here.-Mazra wrote:When you cast Moonfire on someone, it's not some Druid base on the moon launching a precision deathbeam across space to strike people
