Help with Resto Druid Guildie

[Aeristar]

I'm in small casual raid guild, we raid 2 nights a week and are a pretty tight knit group of folks. Our resto druid has been healing since forever and during MoP and WoD she did amazingly but lately she tends to be on the low end of the totem pole. We are wanting to push into Heroic and she's concerned she won't be able to cut it.

Logs for this Tuesday's Normal Run:

Is there anything right off that ya'll can tell that might help? Her name is Lyteluna.

Are people dying? Are you struggling to heal everyone up to full? If not then everything looks fine.

The more time the raid spends at less than 100% HP the more a Resto Druid is going to shine on the meters. Not that healing meters is anything to go by, really. Its not like DPS, you can only heal as much as there is to heal. Try three healers on some bosses and you should see that the Druid will do better HPS.

Lifebloom uptime is around 24% in some fights. Try to get that close to 100%. Flourish use. It is a 1 Min CD. So should be used every minute. In some fights (like Skorp, she didnt tranq at all.)

Same with other CDs like Innervate, Ghanir.

it's all the usual tips really: LB uptime, more cooldown usage, etc.

that said I would pay basically zero attention to normal mode performance rankings, especially when you're running with one healer who significantly outclasses the rest of the group

The numbers look about right for a normal run with that many healers. The slow nature of druid healing means we always look bad on easy content, as other people "snipe" our targets back up to full health before our HoTs can tick. 50.5% of her healing done on Gul'dan was wasted on overhealing, as an example. She could be a bit more aggressive, using cooldowns more and spamming Wild Growth for the instant smart heal, but it wouldn't really help you kill the boss.

The only thing she can work on that I'd consider actually meaningful is to improve the uptimes of Efflorescence and Lifebloom. She could also get into the habit of always casting Efflorescence during Innervate, as it's our most expensive spell.

She has wrists but is almost not using Swiftmend, 26 casts over 7 bosses. She also dont have CW to prolong with the wrists.

She has inner piece but not using any extra tranqs because of it, so a wasted talent. (Guldan execption)

She´s ooms herself but are not using a leytorrent, not even a normal mana potion.
The only fight she are actually using a leytorrent. She is doing it so early that she is then having 100% mana for 40 seconds.
Dont even know what she does during those 40 seconds, disconnected? because there is'nt a single cast.


She needs to get into the habit of pre-hoting for dmg. Becuse if she starts when the dmg is already done, its to late.

Exactly what Alltat said. You are running 5 healers for 21 people on HC. All of your healers sit with +39% overheal on Skorpyon. And on Chronomatic its +26%. On normal Gul'dan its +41%. There is nothing to heal . There are some talent choices and playstyle issues that other people have hightlighted but you have to drop atleast one healer.

And as well, you could make the argument for that as long as your are killing the boss it's fine to have 5 healers but damn is so boring to heal as a resto druid with that many healers.

Additionally to being boring, it's harder to improve, because in an overheal situation some playstyle offer more hps, that would be suboptimal under challenging circumstances. For example Abundance and SotF talents can offer more hps in overhealing scenarios because they are faster at healing. Low healing needed --> sniping rules. By that you improve your personal hps, but you drive others in more overheal.
In circumstances where every healer has to give his best, this talents will in most cases underperform. CW/Cultivation will be much better.
