Hi folks.

Since the 11.0.5 patch is out, can you take a look at my talents and logs and let me know if they make sense?
I feel like all that has changed in M+10s is I consume mana way faster, and it’s a problem.

Isn’t there some sort of wrath/infinite mana build, should I try it if I find it?

I need help, I feel hard skill-capped at +10s and I haven’t been capped that low since like idk, season1 of shadowlands (+20s)

Thanks for the help!

I won’t be able to go through your logs here, but I can comment on your build here.

  • Verdancy and Photosynthesis are both huge for getting efficient healing out as a druid.
  • Improved Regrowth is basically a must with how much we rely on Regrowth these days to keep people standing.
  • If you’re going to run Abundance instead of Cenarion Ward, taking Wildwood Roots is basically a must.
  • Wild Synthesis is a pretty big chunk of healing with your Grove Guardians.
  • Tranquility is not a good cooldown, especially in 5-mans.
  • Along with the Tranquility comment, Regenesis is not very good. Rejuvenation does little healing on its own, it basically serves the purpose of adding a mastery stack. Getting an increased 15% from Rejuvenation is not going to make a significant difference, at least compared to other places you can put that point.
  • Master Shapeshifter is pretty important for being able to keep your mana up, if you’re going to find time to do some damage.

Overall, your build seems a bit confused in terms of what you’re trying to accentuate. Some of the talents you’re taking sound good, but unfortunately just aren’t; and some of the talents you aren’t taking carry the spec hard in many ways. But beyond that, most recommended builds pick a single lane to focus on and go all out in that lane. Whereas your build seems to want to be okay with both your Regrowth and Lifebloom, when you really need to choose which you like more and then take the full kit which compliments such a play style.

Also, I’m not really sure how you are planning to contribute damage to your group. You added the basic catweaving talents with none of the balance talents, but then don’t commit to the abilities that enhance those cat talents.

To be clear, if you don’t want to deal damage, that’s your prerogative and I don’t want to make it seem like it’s some major mistake. But then I don’t know why you would put points into Rake and Rip. If you’re looking for the easiest path to get some damage out, Starfire, Sunfire, and Improve Sunfire is by far the easier path compared to just taking the basic cat talents.

I mentioned it in my list above, but this is from Master Shapeshifter. Basically you get mana back from every wrath, starfire, and starsurge you cast. Just weave those abilities in when you have some free globals to get mana back.
