Main Question is why does Rejuvenation(other healing spells as well but mainly Rej) have to take Boomkin out of form, I know its been this way a while but why?
It doesn’t even feel right thematically, Balance spec already specializes in nature, arcane and astral elements so the spec doesn’t have a reason to leave form for nature spells.
Will Hibernate work on Dracthyr?!?!
Issues and Improvement ideas;
Elune’s Guidance Talent currently doesn’t work(cost reduction of SS and SF).
Astral Communion is on GCD which makes it less than ideal and it feels bad to use.
Let Starfall’s Aethereal Kindling also increase Stellar Flares DoT or add that effect to Circle of Life and Death Talent.
Allow Force of Nature to Root enemies in AoE.
Allow Swiftmend consume any and/or all HoTs(Rejuvenation, Wild Growth, Regrowth)to increase the potency of the heal.
Have the option for Syzygy to cast in the direction we’re facing and/or AoE
Give Wild Mushroom the option to be cast AoE and/or at Enemies location.
Let us target Friendly players for Nature’s Vigil and if we don’t default to ourselves.
Cast Innervate on ourselves with reduced effect time.
Rejuv and Swiftmend taking us out Moonkin form feels really bad…and given the new druid tree they’ll definitely be picked, at least in PvP.
Feels like for QoL purposes they should change this. They already changed this for Shadow Priests in DF where they can cast Holy spells like Flash Heal and it doesn’t take them out of form like it used to. Just do the same for Boomkin please Blizz.
The fact that Boomies have less CC than in SL since we can’t really reach Incap Roar/Might Bash is also unwarranted in an Xpac where in general almost all specs have GAINED CC and utility.
Not to mention not getting Thick Hide for reduced damage taken and Well-Honed Instincts. That’s quite a lot of things Boomies have lost that helped with survivability.
The damage profile and general rotation is way better in DF than SL, but CC and survivability seems to have gotten worse.
Those have always taken us out of form, they have said before i believe. The intent is that we are Shapeshifters, and don’t want us sitting in Form the whole time.
It needs to not impact gameplay so much if that’s how they want it. I.e. Balance spells will automatically shift us into Kin, resto spells will automatically shift us out, etc. The extra globals on everything is awful. Guardian feels this the worst, and given the nature of tanking, they really need all this stuff to be usable in bear form. If you try to use anything you pick up in the class tree other than remove corruption or soothe, you die. Why do bears even have the class tree?
I can cast Starfire and Starsurge in base form (I am resto), I couldn’t do it before.

It’s a huge buff for resto dps for balance at least. As far as I can tell the only thing Moonkin form does for resto now is forcing convoke to cast offensive spells instead of healing ones. Starsurge is instant as well which doesn’t feel intended because heart of the wild makes it instant cast.
Agreed, why can I use moonfire in guardian spec, but my bear cant use moonfire while in Balance spec?
Where da logic?
Also flight form. Which is way silly.
Good point. Because currently healing spells doesn’t take shadow priests out of shadow forms (renew, PoM) so how is that fair? Good point!
