How do I heal bursting

I’m doing 14-15s rn. How am I suppose to heal bursting as a druid? I had sotf wild growth, rejuvs, regrowth, and swarm, and efflo with verdancy down and popped flourish with tree of life…. Everyone still died. :cloud_with_rain:

dps very very slowly

If the tank pulls a ton of mobs and they all die to a huge stack that’s not the healers fault.

I agree but does anyone know if I can do more? Cause thats all my cds and I had popped all my treants too. :cloud_with_rain:

It’s an issue of your DPS are probably failing the affix, when they pedal to the metal the stacks to beyond four it becomes nearly impossible to heal through without a mass dispel or a ton of DR CD’s to blunt the amount of damage it’s doing.

If you kill too many mobs at once its unhealable on any class.

Where was the tranq?

It is magic and can be dispelled by all healers but usually you have one dispel. I dispel me. If the dps can’t handle bursting and all die, oh well. Mass dispel also works on a 2 min cd if you bring a priest. Since you’re on rdruid I would probably use a treant and a swiftmend for sotf into wild growth, worst case flourish after, if the group still dies they played poorly.

Bursting is a Level 4 Mythic+ Affix in Shadowlands.

Whenever a monster is killed, all players will get a stack of Burst which deals 14% of maximum health over 4 seconds and stacks. One or two stacks will not be deadly, but killing an entire pack of 8 simultaneously will probably end up killing the party.

During Bursting, it’s important to stagger the deaths of the enemy forces so that the debuff doesn’t stack up too high. Be careful not to use too many AoE abilities and kill the monsters too soon.

Immunity abilities such as Cloak of Shadows and Ice Block will remove all current stacks and prevent future stacks from applying.

reroll a priest :stuck_out_tongue:

Save your dispell for yourself, when the stacks get high, use it on yourself. You can then give the group a lecture on how to play this week while you mass.

Tranq has a long cd. I used it before that one. :cloud_with_rain:

Personal def CD i pop when. Haven’t play my hunter for a while but I think turtle immune most of the damage same with drawft racial?

LOL typically I dispel myself when they stack it super high and try to keep them up, they typically die though when they stack it to beyond 6 from my experiences, or my favorite being when they refresh the high stacks right when their about to fall off and I burned my CD’s keeping them alive.

Oh thats useful to know. Bursting does % damage? :cloud_with_rain: :thinking:

honestly though, this is a group affix, if you pull big packs, it’s required to use def abilities when the pack dies.

if people are dying to 5 stacks of bursting, not your fault at all.

Pugs will still pug. Tanks will still pull back to back 11 stack pulls without a care in the world. Remember, you’re the healer, set the tone early or just bail cause it won’t get better unless you make it so.

As I am learning to play holy pally this week, I have seen it all already lol and I have only done 11’s as holy…

It’s the same old story.

good groups = feels like a timewalk/heroic, bad groups feels like your undergeared in a +20

Unless you have the full 4 piece and even if you do, pick up convoke for bursting weeks instead of ToL. Tree just isnt designed for the intense and constant burst healing you’ll need for a lot of these burst pulls and treants themselves are pretty slow to cast after the initial hit so they arent good for groups that pull wild bursting stacks.

Having reforestation line up as i SotF → wildgrowth into convoke should handle up to 8 stacks comfortably or a really badly rolled 6 for the 16s i tried this week.
