Well I’m a druid that uses a lot of Nourish. Yes, it’s our version of a FoL, but it doesn’t mean its not needed. I HoT a lot of ppl in 10 and 25 man raids, but a quick and cheap heal is essential to save some ppl of not dying. It’s the reason all healers have a heal like that. In the mean time my HoT’s will make up for the rest of the damage taken by the targets. It’s my nr.1 heal together with rejuv (depending on the fight which will be higher)

In account to the T9 bonus, I don’t know yet. I’m not going to give up a lot of haste for crit at this moment. But probably its a change which will be more clear in later patches when more gear will come out. I haven’t tried the t9 set yet, but I’ll just wait and see what it’s going to bring later on.
At this time the instant heal on rejuv seems worth more then a 5% extra crit chance on nourish.

The new Idol… I just love it! You say that you don’t want to play russian roulette, but when I’m using the idol it procs the whole time. In other words, the idol gives me 234 extra spellpower with a 100% uptime when im healing. The small mana reduction isn’t worth for me to keep with such an imba idol. Especially since i use nourish a lot aswell.

all i have to say about the idol is “A more powerful spell is already active”

So the balance 4pc is worse than the tier 7 4pc? kinda bad imo

I will have to go check out your article Syll, you always have such interesting insight on things!

But yea…I just don’t know, I don’t feel that tingly excitement in my toes. Honestly this whole upcoming patch has me more anxious than excited. I guess we will see! =)

Hey Hey, Beru! I’ve been pretty underwhelmed about the T9 set, as well, and wrote about the progression from one tier set to the next on my site. This set feels like one step above a sidegrade to me, full of disguised mana regen nerfs for us. Trees as weeping willows? We’ll see =)
