Stumbled here after making my own blog, but HM LK *scares* me. Our 10 has icc on farm and we are working through the heroics slowly but surely. But Putricide and LK? ahahahaahahaha *takes breath* ahahahahhahahaha. And grats on getting all those northrend rares. I search everyday and I’ve yet to see one

From what I’ve seen of 10 man HLK, it’s the druid that does the tank healing, while a disc priest handles the raid and such. So I would think with the new models I’m seeing being more tank focused, I would still think the healing would be possible. Again – I haven’t seen much face time on HLK, so I could be entirely wrong. I guess I’m just trying to remain optimistic, throughout the doom and gloom of druid reports I keep hearing about.

BUT! I did get a Beta key recently and I will spend most of my weekend poking around and trying to see first hand, just how good/bad things are. I would probably re-roll to a holy priest, if I had the opportunity – with what I know now, at least. I was very excited about their changes, I enjoy their trees so far and it’s fun.

And of course I’d be a Tauren priest! Rawr!

Yea, I can’t say that I agree with the whole “frustrating the hell out of you = having more fun” mentality around healing right now

As much as I love Boubille, I don’t think thar is the date Cataclysm will go live!

I suppose at this juncture, I’ve just taken a “wait and see” attitude about all things Cataclysm.

I don’t think the nourish spam will work with the change in cast time to Nourish

It will be pretty shitty of Blizzard to leave HM LK tank damage as it is with the healer changes going live. Honestly, I don’t know if there will be any healer that will be able to do it. Maybe Resto Shaman?

I think we are just going to try to bust our ass to get it done before 4.0.

If lifebloom changes go live while we’re still working on H-LK, we’d have to bench the resto druid for another healer, because we can’t get through P1 with only one lifebloom >_>

Unless a nourish spam on the other somehow manages to hold them afloat.

It will most likely be released on the second of November according to mmo-champ

Regarding druid changes…I am extremely disappointed but if we are broken I am sure the devs will buff us…eventually.

My biggest issue right now is the epic fail that is our “mastery” and the fact its not retroactive which makes it useless and encourages sniping which is something that was too common in TBC imo and I dont want to go back to that.

I wont change main but I sure as hell will QQ all day long if things are straight up retarded.

From what I have heard it is impossible to heal HM LK with Cata heals. That is only rumor though, I don’t personally know any healers on the beta.

That’s one of the things that worries me about the way they are changing healing. Yes, I agree the system needs work but healers are the only ones getting substantially less powerful in the next Xpac. Not only are we going to get hit hard in 4.0 but as we level our heal costs will go up while the coefficients go down. DPS and tanks aren’t looking at changes like that.

Or like somebody else put it on the forums, “I don’t mind drinking but I don’t want to be the only one doing it”.
