Yes there is alot of reg in 2set druid, but still, you say ToL and there was a assume that 1 LB for full duration would give 800+ mana, but the LB itselfs also cost mana to put on a target innervate dosnt, and reviatalize has a Eternal cooldown

You have to amortize the value over a 3 minute span.

74.54 mp returned per tick of lifebloom (18635 * 0.01 * 0.4), you will be getting about 165 ticks of lifebloom in the 2m30s (150s * 1.1 ticks per second where you aren’t a tree) about 12299 mana.

While in treeform you will likely be able to get 12 ticks of lifebloom x 15 full-duration lifeblooms = 180 ticks = 13417 mana from 30 seconds as a tree.

Total mana return then is 25716 mana per 3 minutes. Innervate is 20% of your mana pool, so would return the same amount of mana you need a maximum of 128,580.

Pretty close to what we have.

Also keep in mind that when ToL is active you will have 5+ lifeblooms ticking.

@Kotakh
I definitely think that the 2 piece is going to be useful, it’s just not particularly interesting. And the downside, somewhat, is that for the next tier of content mana will probably be based on having the set bonus – which means that if you haven’t gotten it yet, you may feel your mana pinch that much more than you would have otherwise!

I didn’t say that the priest one was OMG AWESOME – I just thought it was cool and interesting. More so than “lifebloom explosion”, anyhow!

@Jurik – I think the value of the four piece is really going to depend on the ebb and flow of damage in firelands. I can think of a handful of times that it would be great in this tier of content – but can also think of more where it would be somewhat lackluster.

Yea, the two piece will be nice. The four piece? Eh…

Yes, the moonkin set bonus is pretty nifty too! I’ll give you that!

The problem with the resto bonus is that it’s so situational. You really have to have the perfect set of conditions line up for it to be maximized.

Yea – the “please click my stupid little flames” part is definitely a down side. But the fact that you SPAWN little flames is pretty fun!

I’d have to second that it would be nice to have a non-lifebloom set bonus again

I’m sure it has problems – but it still SOUNDS cool!

It’s probably close to equal to usefulness as the druid one is!
