Resto druid feels terrible in arena this patch. The HoTs arent just not strong enough to heal compared to crazy high crits from warlocks and other specs. Maybe an idea, why not make tree form permanent? No idea who tried to make the class talents and stuff but it doesnt make sense that guardian, feral and boomy can all maintain a shapeshift form but healer cannot. Ridiculous work on resto druid.

yeah resto druid is by far the worst healer. people getting hit for 150k+ crits all the time and my rejuv is ticking for like 8k. balance is just a joke right now.

Yo! I jump on here to make a post stating the same thing. Druid this xpac sucks! Like flight form doesn’t exist, damping completely wrecks resto hots, and the new resto tree? like wtf were the devs thinking? clearly pve in mind. I hate how they never separate the two. They don’t care about pvp. It’s like the fifth thing they state during releases. There might not be as big an audience for it. Just feels bad. Investing time into some a spec then having to reroll.

Resto sure is not in good shape in PvP. Resto rarely is top tier in PvP. Lucky to get one patch per xpac to shine. Perma tree is not the answer.
A lot of us are not interested in being a tree the entire time we want to heal.

Druid throughput isnt the problem. Their mana efficiency is among the worst because they have to overheal to be effective. They have a lot of difficulty being aggressive because they get punished too hard. Their dmg is way to clunky to ever actually be able to use. Reactive resin didnt do much to stifle healing
Fixes/pvp talents suggestions
- Cyclone is now arcane school instead of nature.
- Mastershapeshifter allows you to use healing spells while in moonkin/cat form.
- Reactive resin root/silence on 2 purges and is undispellable, slow removals should not immune or remove resin stacks.
Any of these would help with rdruid problems.

Druid is good in 3s
Meh in SS. You really need to be able to get drinks
Reactive resin should also not be dispellable Purge purge dispel purge purge fade purge purge
Aren’t you all ignoring the elephant in the room here? Why tinker with Resto because of purge? Just make purge cost more MP so shaman’s and priest’s can’t sit there and spam it with no penalty. It’s crazy they can do that and it takes no skill whatsoever to spam purge a druid and nerf their heals to the ground. Reactive resin is a joke.
If purge costed more MP it would force them to be more strategic in how they used it and it would level the playing field regarding mana pool.
Organizing ideas, I had already made a post informing that the rest of the druid was very bad:
1.) We OOM way too fast.
2.) None of the PvP talents are worthwhile.
3.) Our talent choices are always missing 2-4 core talents it being either Invigorate, Inner Peace, Budding Leaves, or Adaptive Swarm.
I consider that the druid needs a small rework because the mastery at this moment is not efficient, if I want to save someone who is about to die, what do I do?
If I throw regrowth it won’t heal anything because it doesn’t have hots and if I throw hots it won’t do enough. I think the druid should stop being so preventive and be able to act when he needs it.
For me the most important problem is insufficient mana and that there is no more raw healing and less mastery, that makes you think about attacking, if you stop putting hots they die, at the same time you spend excess mana and it occurs to you to attack a bit and your partner no longer has hots, if at that moment an enemy burst enters and does not have overgroth you die.
I’m agree with rdruid need help no just 2% more of healing when dps has bufs of 30% of damage, blizzard which fear do you have to buff a lit more.
other healing classes you buff them without so much fear, the easiest way to get him back a little stronger is to return the talent tree
I just want something to deal with these hunter/priest purges and slight improvement in mana. I think we need something to help with clunky dps though and NV nerf will be pretty huge against rdruids.
