** Can't fix title, should say: [Resto] HM Garajal & HM Elegon
I saw this post in the resto guide but I think it deserves it own post:
"Also, was curious to talk with any other Resto druids that are in guilds currently working on Heroic Elegon, or Heroic Gara'jal. What are the healing playstyles that you use to combat burst damage? Did you feels yourselves lacking, or underpowered in these two fights?"
Disclaimer: I'm going to write this from a 10 man perspective.
HM Garajal: we 3 heal this, healers dps as much as they can to help with enrage - and with all the mana I get back in spir realm I usually go with some dps trinkets for this fight even as resto druid. Overall the fight doesn't seem much of a problem for us, we got good tanks with lots of mitigation and I just keep rejuvs rolling on the voodoo dolls with some regrowth spam every once in a while (since I get all my mana back in the spir realm, I'm not afraid of going nuts on regrowths). Also, we rotate spir shell with other cds like iron bark, spir link, pain supp on the tank taking the most damage (least geared usually).
HM Elegon: I've been struggling a bit with heroic elegon as a resto druid, usually our resto shammy and disc priest are the ones healing (I go balance and pop tranq at end) but I had a couple of weeks that I had to replace our shammy and we it sucked. The part me and the disc priest were struggling the have to burst to keep ppl alive and at the same time top off the soaker before he was going out to soak. One the first week we didn't assign a healer to watch over the dude going out and it was bad, the other week we assigned the disc priest to heal the soaker but he complained not having the burst either. We endup running out of time and are continuing this monday when the shammy is back. His burst is amazing and we usually 1 shot with him healing. I'm yet to kill this dude while healing as resto.
Next time we do this I'll suggest having me as the one healing the soaker since with the glyph of regrowth I can top ppl off real quick (3 globals are usually enough), maybe I'll do better than our priest on that part. The thing wiht this fight too is that is the tank doesnt time it right pulling the add off there's a lot of raid damage out and we had our tank on boss about to die with other 4-5 ppl reaaly low on hp besides the soaker. On top of that you have 3-4 ppl with that debuff (might be less, not sure). Its a reaally bursty fight and I really hate it. If only my tree of life was a smaller cd that I could pop more often to counter the damage with insta regrows...
Funny enough, was looking at the top resto druid in out realm and he's got a lot of heroic kills (cleared hm HoF if I'm not mistaken) but he doesn't have a kill for hm elegon. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Anyways, I'm also very curious how u guys handle this fight.
