Absolutely, I’m not currently running the sort of content where mana efficiency is yet a concern though and having the extra Rejuvenations available gives me the peace of mind to actually face it all (I suffer from anxiety). But as I get more comfortable with it all I’m definitely planning to switch to Photosynthesis, I think it’s an interesting mechanic regardless.
I’m sure it will all come in time, as you said I need to learn to trust my HoTs since the playstyle of Resto (to my knowledge) isn’t about topping people to full straight off the bat whenever they take damage but rather letting your HoTs tick away and saving your big heals for the moments you need them, which once again comes down to damage patterns and the likes a lot.
I’m sure I’ll get there. Had a nice moment in the Darkshore warfront where I prepped for the hectic ending part of Maiev and got a juicy Tranq off that kept everybody up. I was the only healer and of course people just face tanked the bad so it was nice to get a bit of a glimpse of what being prepared for damage can do.
