So who else loves Heart of the Wild?

I like it, but I wish there was an actual choice at that tier for Guardians.

yes i was trying to make a boomkin spec that purely helps with healing but instead of that i went with dream of cenarious. With more gear and spirit you can actually dps and heal at same time... When i tried it i had 469 gear so i could't do that for long but i managed to have 20-22k hps while boomkin and heal through heroic dungeons as boomkin.

Well if a good tank 600k hp I can just go boomkin:/. I miss my wrath days where I could heal/dps as boomkin, though I totally outgeared it.

Yeah I was healin a run in the instance on the 'great wall' the massive bug that you blow the armor off of. Popped HoTW after his armor was gone and proceeded to do like 50% of the dmg from the entire group for the kill.

U all are missing one important thing, as much it is helpfull burst of dps it should me mostly being valutable as a short time buff that removes mele / ranged requirements for certain boss fights.
And as much as blizzard hates mele im glad they put this talent in the last tier.

I still use HotW on most fights as a cat, the 6% agi buff creates a better overall Damage buff if you're not able to keep doc running because of target swaps/PR falling off etc, the damage i do is still on par with DoC.

obviously you've never come across warriors or rogues? who not only can cleave on most fights but have amazing execute phases pushing them to the top of the dps meeter.

resto druids, when you use HotW to dps do you prefer to use cat form or to use wrath/Moonfire?

also does Killer instinct double dip from the passive bonus of HotW? I mean does the 1.06 intellect bonus lead to a 1.06^2 agility bonus?

[Deleted]

With 0 buffs, and without HotW I have 14 526 agility in cat form. With HotW it's 15 396, which is ~6% more, so no, it doesn't double dip.

After the hotfix, I dps as a caster. I find it much more comfortable, and the dmg might be the same outside of BL, but during it it's definiately better to dps with mf/wrath.

Healing heroic dungeons and pulling 85k dps... Ppl are like "WTF!?!!!?"

[Lumiair]

Such a good spell. I use it on our Elegon kills and just rejuv everyone come last phase. The end healing meter imakes me laugh. 12% of the overall healing done for the fight in 45 seconds hahaha. Also works wonders on Blade Lord Ta'Yak in second phase. Rejuv ALL the raid!!
