General questions

Previous guilds and reasons for leaving?
Vliegende Hollanders, first guild still always char in there i guess because it was my first
Frequency, right now with Druid and also b4 however the people i knew are no longer there.
Serenity, fun/nice guild but always struggling to get 25 ready and geared


What role do you feel you provide in a raid and what areas of strengths do you feel your class and spec has over others?
I perfer resto, i just like to heal (was my job as well in serenity mostly), i switched to druid because hots are still strong and with the funny glyph i can cast big heals as well (1,5sec or even 1,0 with talents) so hps is pretty ok and you dont snap out of tree anymore. And this combined with the aoe heal seemed like good fun and pretty effective (and it actually is). Also heard some good news about balance being a lot better but didnt try that yet. Furthermore there were some rumours about easily switching some day between talent trees, then a druid will be very handy to have in raids i think (but just a rumour i guess)


What 1 thing would you change about your class if you could?
Lifebloom back to what it was, although the nerv doesnt really hurt too much i think.

What do you think you can add to Eternals?
solid healing, good eye on where heals are needed and pretty mana efficient so if neccesary endurance.


What do you think Eternals can do for you?
enjoy the game to full potential as being the nr 1 guild atm.



Personal infomation; Name, age, where you live, interests/hobbies, Job and family that will nag you to stop raiding?
Cor, 32, Amsterdam, is there time for other hobbies? but like to drive my motorcycle, gf (not married so have to be carefull here)



Additional information which you would like to name?
not really, hope i can join ofc.

Hey, few questions for you mate.

What do you think of the new spell nourish ?

What points in the balance tree will you take ?

What glypths will you be using ?

Heya,

Must say that im still in the experimenting phase, not sure yet what works best. The healing done by Nourish and gHT seems more or less comparable however you can reduce the cast time of gHT to 1 sec which could make it a nice 'panic' heal tool when hots arent enough, at the cost of lots of mana ofc so unless neccessary wouldnt use it. Also gHT is said to gain more from spellbonus but tbh dont know calculation.

For me i think the balance is that for heroics or when tank healing i would go for gHT (1 sec) to get high burst of hps, but for raids in general maybe the burst is less important then being mana efficient and will actually stick mainly to regrowth anyway... (and not willing to 'use' 5 talent points to reduce HT cast time), and use Nourish when big heals are needed.

hmmm... so im sorry to say i dont really have the awnser yet.

And for balance, hmmm i hardly have any experience with this spec, i have always been tanking or healing with druid. So i could read up on it but still make a fool out of myself so i guess i would go for advice first and start experimenting in instances b4 having an opinion and going to raids...

im very curious on how you guys see the heal trade offs!!!

adding it all together and some more thinking about it i believe i should go for the following setup (and see how that works):

Skip gHT which saves me 1 glyph free for innervate glyph (always handy) and basically 7 talent point (for reducing 0,5s and empowered touch). This give me talent points to put in living seed and since regrowth crits a lot i think this is pretty usefull.

Maybe cause i have been healing a lot on my priest i like spamming gHT its nice straight forward but i think overall the cost are a bit too high...

hmmm

Yer i get the gist of what your saying, you just like to over complicate things hehe I think quite alot of druids are not using the ght and speccing as you said you loose 5 talent points, and also you loose the OH SHIT button of NS + HT.

By points in balance i ment, what points in balance would you take when are resto to boost your healing. Just checked your armoury and your spec is looking fine so no worries there mate.

So if you were raiding with eternals the 3 glypths you would use would be...

Right now i use regrowth, lifebloom and innervate. Works pretty good for me the only other major glyph i would consider would be swiftmend but i dont really care about casting a new regrowth or rejuv so innervate seems more usefull to me. I just have 1 minor now which is the free rebirth (never out of reagent )

Accepted on trial.
