Nourish isnt all that, should be tweaked?

[2OfDiamonds]

i was just thinking, would it be non-overpowered to make it a 1 sec cast time, to not have it trigger or be affected by the GCD, and slap a 10 sec CD on it?

that way, you could use it the way blizzard intended it, a quick heal to throw on someone that needs it now, and if its not affected by GCD you could rejuv a target and then nourish, or just nourish depending on how fast you need to be.

Nourish Rank 1
18% of base mana 40 yd range
1 sec cast 10 sec cooldown
Heals a friendly target for 1883 to 2187. Heals for an additional 20% if you have a Rejuvenation, Regrowth, or Lifebloom effect active on the target. Nourish is not affected by and does not trigger a global cooldown.


thoughts?

*edit* this would also work greatly in concert with all the HOTs druids have, there is no cast time on those, meaning you can start casting nourish right after.

so every 10 seconds you can cast a flash heal thats better than any other variant of it?
the lack of a direct flash heal like that is what is meant to be the one weakness of the druid healing, if they can even get that then they will be truely unstopable in 2v2 atleast

Nourish: Reduced mana cost by somewhere between 15 and 20%. This is supposed to be your Flash Heal, but we recognize that it doesn't have the same versatility -- you can't just drop one on a wounded rogue or something since you need the hot up first. Hence the lower price.

and please keep in mind this:

- highest rank regrowth http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=48443
- improved regrowth http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=17078
- glyph of regrowth http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?item=40912
and

thats what nourish has to compete with.. as stated by many druids on beta forums and confirmed by blizzard CMs and designers, all that makes nourish a spell that might never even see the light of day..

with this change it would, if the 10 sec is too low but the other ideas are good, make it 12/15/18/30 or whatever, that way it might fill a niche druids lack at the moment.

alternatively:

Nourish Rank 1
18% of base mana 40 yd range
1 sec cast 10 sec cooldown
Heals a friendly target for 1883 to 2187. Nourish can only be cast If there is a druid heal over time effect on the target. Nourish is not affected by and does not trigger a global cooldown.

might work better.
