Current resto pre-raid and best-in-slot items (patch 1.6)

[St0rfan]

I have a question regarding Druid T1 set. Since it has really low +BH and useless set bonuses, do you recommend using it at all? It has good stats bonus though. I thought I could use T1 wrists with +24BH enchant + T1 hands along with BiS gear from 1st post. Will I be able to raid BWL with that gear? Any advices?

Thanks in advance

You can get Living shoulders from AH for 5-10g, they are also pre-raid bis with +31healing. t1 shoulders are probably comparable to them, and they are pretty too:)

T1 wrists & gloves are trash, you are much better off farming wrists from DM N Tribute & gloves from DM East or BRD. And definitely don't waste your gold enchanting the T1 wrists with +24. (Unless you are rich). The T1 shoulders & boots are decent, the helm is comparable to pre-BiS and the chest is ok until you can farm Robes of the Exalted. That's about it, in most cases you're better off farming pre-BiS.

Technically, pre-raid bis helm (which is +64 healing green BoE) is almost exactly as good as t2 helm if you go by pre-naxx HEP. Personally I use t2 because of looks, and the extra mana I gain. After all, gearing for only +healing will make you miss out on mana regen and manapool.

EDIT: Also using blue dragon card so stacking up a bit of spirit is also nice.

Unless you finish a fight without enough mana left over to cast a heal, it's useless to gear for mp5 or mana pool over healing.

Slightly off topic, but do you think T2 5/8 with a spec like this http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#0x0xhMxoZZxVcqzVV with some additional crit gear is worth considering? Personally I'm not a fan of this spec since it scales poorly, is unreliable and costs a shitload of mana, but what are your thoughts about it?

edit: where would you fit in ZHC for druids?

It is worth considering if you want to beat shamans and priests of your guild in efficient heal on Raidstats.

"Efficient heal." Quotations needed because the vast majority of the hot portion of regrowth will heal for nothing, making it very inefficient.

Exactly. This is a "I wanna top the meters build" but not efficient at all. For this content it works fine. Longer fights will make this build much more problematic.

I see the feral druids are trolling the healing section again.

my regrowth never heals the person to 100% so my hots almost always tick for their full duration. Also if ppl are taking constant damage, it means you don't have to heal them again for a while saving you time. As a healer, I like to heal.

We are not trying to top the metres, we just do because our healing methods are superior. <3
