first item on my 110 druid - 860 neck from world boss. Good start :3

World bosses are insanely generous

I got cute with the bonus roll but got gold. should have quit while I was ahead and save the coin for LFR. oh well

Tanks have better options but if you're a DPS and have access to 2+ legendaries the neck will help the raid more on mythic progression than any other single item on the game.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's mandatory in high end raiding guilds down the road.

I just don't like that it can drop for tank loot specs

Yes it's a good item in general for any non tanks though, does a lot of healing for our hunter in mythic+

man druid healing is super fun, really liking it (on normals only, 1 ilvl away from heroics) compared to my other healing alt the priest.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Not the greatest legendary but not complaining:



Feel sort of guilty as a lot of the people I play with still don't have one despite playing more and doing more than me. Oh well.

Multiple people in my guild including myself have two, but one of our most active dudes still has zero. RNG is a butt sometimes.

Guild decided to do mythics dragons before Ursoc because they believed we didn't have the DPS for Ursoc but right now it's clear we don't have the heals for dragons. The amount of damage going out is pretty insane.

Thankfully I'm doing portals so it's easy peasy for me as a DPS.

So does Demonology suck until you have decent haste? My damage is atrocious but I enjoy the spec so I want to make it work.

I think someone in my guild mathed it out to like 310k DPS per player with both tanks doing around the 170k mark.

Dragons is much more intensive than Ursoc, I think.

Yeah, 310ish-k is what one of the officers said, too.

We have a few people who wouldn't be able to pull that, so they decided to go with Dragons but now it's a problem with the healers not being able to keep people up through the damage.

We're now 6 healing it and that's got us below 46%, so we'll probably kill it next week, I think.

If you can 6 heal Dragons and avoid the enrage timer then surely you've the DPS for Ursoc? Are you using the Vantus Rune each week?

Ya I'm a career resto with 3 golden.

Lets chat :3

How is it holding up in higher stuff? Its super fun and I absolutely adore the mobility. Being able to move around and still use at least 3 instant heals is fantastic, I can imagine it being fantastic for shit like that fucking hydra boss in Eye.

I also love how the 356 hots you have make it so youre always pressing buttons. The only downside I can see if perhaps a big emergency heal for those "oh shit" moments, and maybe mana being a issue especially with germination.

Speaking of, is that talent amazing or what? I cant see myself NOT use it. Also on the talent front, I was running the talent to get 2 charges and shorter cooldown on swiftmend but today I ran all day with the bubble that puts a hot when youre damaged and it seems really good, and swiftmend doesnt seem as good as I expected also.

And finally on the talent front, this one is my biggest doubt so far, the tier with tree form, the heal buff to some spells after swiftmend or the one that puts a hot when rejuv heals under 60%. I was running the tree but I switched to the under 60% hot today but im not sure what to think about it.

Im just rambling now, but the spec really got my juices flowing big time again , its exciting.

Edit: and yes I checked Icy Veins :p

Guh I feel stupid. I've been noticing on my monk when I send off champions on missions, sometimes adding a second hero (amusing, Hiro, in this case) to the mission will, for some reason reduce the success rate, instead of boosting it. All three threats countered, so why?

Turns out because of Hiro's Flying Serpent Kick reducing mission time and I equipped the Monkey King with an item that increases success if over 8 hours. Never thought about it clashing.

If you're referring to Swiftmend talent (Prosperity), it has raid synergy with Soul of the Forest which in turn works with Flourish and Artifact. Basically in any raid you pop a Swiftmend -> Wild Growth -> Artifact -> Flourish for big fat AOE heal.

If you're doing 5mans, then you most likely take Abundance which synergizes with Mastery and Germination, who in turn synergizes with Stonebark talent.

Rhaknar, just responding to one of your things:
Soul of the Forest is far and away the best choice in that tier. Swiftmend plus Regrowth with SotF is an amazing tank or dps full heal, has gotten me out of a lot of sticky situations.
Also don't sleep on Spring Blossoms, it is very strong and sometimes better than the 1 minute reduction on Tranq. I think SB is always better in 5 man settings, and for about half of the fights in EN.

Need to try out soul of the forest, which is a easy try since cultivation wasnt doing much for me. But in that case I should go back to prosperity instead of ward for the synergy no?

Spring Blossoms is a harder sell tho since thats in the germination tier, which I love :/

Does the hot from blossoms make up for the second rejuv?

Well you don't get as much out of Germination in raids compared to 5mans. Spring Blossom is good situationally eg when group placement is predictable like Il'Gynoth.

Prosperity is imo fantastic for raiding when paired with SotF.

I wonder why Icy-Veins hates Abundance when I cannot do Mythic+ without it >_<

It's funny that Blizzard keeps trying to make World PVP a thing with stuff like the World Quests

but then makes it so tanks are complete game breaking bullshit in world pvp so why would you ever world pvp

Is there actually pvp happening for you guys in those tower WQs? I usually dont do them these days but I did one yesterday on the druid because I wanted the 805 relic (lol she was a fresh 110!) and there was noone around, it might aswell be a normal pve quest.
