[...] healing problems, especially in 25-man progression raiding, have recently come from Beruthiel (Falling leaves and wings), my guildie Juvenate (WTS Heals), and Alison Roberts (WoW Insider). All of these druid bloggers [...]

This week has been the week that nealy made me quit, my healing at times is 30k plus under our disc healer and he never runs out of mana , he is not even close to running out of mana on top of that he is doing 20k+ DPS which helps on progress,

Think i need to find a group which does not have a disc/pala healer and a DK tank

Careful what numbers are being reviewed here. Spec Score is what’s shown.in the two linked graphs – this is NOT HPS or Throughput solely.

Spec Score is the best measure I’ve been able to come up with to compare specs across all fights of a given tier. The goal has been to minimize the effect a “gimmick” fight has on the overall rankings and generally normalize fights to have a common ground of comparison.” – from http://www.raidbots.com website.

If you look at the “HPS”/throughput tabs:
25 normals, you’ll see Disc priests & Monks equal for throughput, paladin’s 3rd, & then the rest. Which is logical, because the more mitigated damage, the less there is for purely throughput specs to heal up – which holy & resto (both specs) mostly are.

25 heroics, shaman make a return, but holy priests & resto druids remain firmly last.

It is an idea I have had for a long time

Stupid phone, how do i edit this? Last part there was supposed to be “give us a burst healing tool.”

Also, what’s a dooldown?

How about druid spirit shell? Short time dooldown that makes hot ticks no longer directly heal, but accumulate until triggered with a second button? It’d not change druid healing at all, but allow us the possibility of reducing overheal, and through clever play, reduce overheal?

Feels like other classes get all the cool ideas.

I wasnt clear. You only hit 6 targets, while other classes aoe heals react smartly, jumping from target to target, triaging automatically like healing rain, or spreads healing evenly, buffering people with shields even, reducing overheal.

A druid hits swiftmend, prays the person was positioned correctly, wild growths, and hopes it gets to tick, and then fills with rejuv, but not really, because the oombeast is ever present and no one likes looking at 50% rejuv overheal on their WoL afterwards.

Problem is target cap. Ten man druids are coping on fights like feng through using soul of the forest to buff their wild growth. Ask anyone how it feels to be able to tickle six of a 25 man every 16 seconds, and they’ll sob as healing rains, divine radience and a 24 person cap renewing mists uplift turns it all into overheal.

Why not Change WG?
Higher initial heal and lower hot Or lower inital heal and much shorter CD?
Or would that make restos again OP?

I don’t think that being at the bottom is the problem – it’s the HUGE gap between top and bottom. Top is 100k hps, bottom is 70k. That’s ridiculous.

I suspect the drop for holy priests came about because the priests are reforging for discipline now rather than holy, and when they play holy for some fights that would make them a bit less effective. But that’s just a theory.
