I don't get PVP Resto Druids?

What are resto druids strengths in PVP currently? I honestly can’t say I’ve ever felt a bigger discrepancy comparatively to the other healing classes.

What is something a druid provides now that another healer can’t?

I don’t understand how priests are in this god mode of being able to deal damage and heal without giving up their class identity.

The druid talent tree has so many bad options and routes, none of the paths feel rewarding. I am just trying to decipher what blizzard is trying to get across with a clunky rotation. Even our hero talents are awful, no creativity, no cool effects. The creativity and potential for druids to be fun is there.

We have the worst pvp talents to choose from. Our damage output is comically bad. Our healing cool downs are non existent. And most classes can kill us through bark skin + iron bark. Kiting as a druid lately seems impossible, every class has some instant cast crowd control, range interrupt, cc break, or immunity to avoid any counter play.

The game accelerated too fast, and who ever is in charge of druid class design just seems to have ignored and/or disregarded our class identity.

Yeah, it feels really bad out there atm. I get there’s always a meta class and all but with the resto druid changes that came, it somehow feels WORSE than last pvp season.

Rolling hots that heal while you are in CC is the main benefit I see. Hots that can roll when your mate is out of range or out of LoS. Also cyclone is nice and should be abused. If you’re not abusing cyclone then it’s going to be a problem for you.

Abusing cyclone/roots is the only way to currently win as a rdruid against rshaman/disc, it has 30 yard range so many healers cant actually stop it and most dps have to just sit the clone. Without clone/roots you just get dampened or eventually you eat a cc you have no ns to help.

Our healing profile got changed this season for the better and it only takes 2-3 gcds to get a huge swiftmend out which is really nice, it feels really good just the hps isnt there compared to rshaman/disc.
