First of all not only this mechanic is undertuned and underwhelming but also it doesn’t fit Resto Druid class fantasy. It doesn’t have to be another Disc - healing with hots and then doing damage in Cat/Moonkin form was already fun. This way you made the spec least represented in MDI and almost unplayable in PvP. You can technically play it but you have to prepare for 2-3x more effort than H Pala or Disc in PvP or R Shaman and Disc in PvE.
You still can’t play it in NW or Dawnbreaker because it doesn’t work when you’re elevated off the ground.
I agree with you. Problem is HoTs heal for literally nothing at the moment, you just view them as mastery stacks. And it takes every global you have to keep them going because they last like 4 seconds.
So yeah, I mean, the talent isn’t really usable. It probably won’t ever be with where it currently is on the tree. You have to waste so many talents just taking things to improve your mastery stacks, hot durations, and maintenance that you just can’t afford to take it.
I actually really like the play style. I just wish they would change the way it’s activated. Starsurge is fine but shifting into cat form for the movement really ruins the play style. It should be activated from using a rake or something else.
Spamming wrath with basically no cooldown and healing for 800k crits is pretty fun.
