Problem with Verdancy is that it requires PUG to stand in your Efflo…. Which is hard to explain to them. There’s always a hunter away in Narnia and a Warlock who refuses to move :)
I made a macro to hit flourish, nature's vigil & voidmender trinket since I got a lucky drop from vault at 411. The I pop a convoke. It does a ton of damage and double ups as a massive emergency button combo for healing. Thanks Growl for the amazing video as always
NV/Flourish on CD unless you need it for healing situation soon. Use swarm on CD, bonus points for using Voulk's WA to cast it on the optimal teammate. Moonfire and sunfire everything. If you have starsurge talented use it on CD. If you don't need convoke for healing soon, use it in boomkin form for AOE, or cat form for ST. If you have cat talents, swap to cat form and put up your bleeds.
You should talk about the interaction of convoke when swiftmending an ally along with pre using nature's swiftness. Any and all rejuv's/regrowths and wildgrowth's within the convoke window will benefit from soul of the forest and natures splendor without consuming them. Not so prevalent in 5 man content but can help massively in aoe.
Convoke will consume soul of the forest, but not nature's swiftness. So dont use swiftmend pre convoke as it will get eaten, but you are very right that using Natures Swiftness before convoke is strong as all your regrowths will be empowered but you wont lose the swiftness buff.
Hi there, Everytime you say "Hello Friends, this is Growl" i cant control myself to say "Hello Growl, this is friends". That line kills me everytime :D
I've been liking Wild Synthesis with Nourish. Frequently having a juicy instant heal (or just when you really need it a good hardcast on someone) is nice. To get it I drop Unstoppable Growth entirely and use Regenerative Heartwood to path to Flourish. The 2 points into Unstoppable growth is only an 8% buff to the overall healing of Wild Growth which really isn't that much. The only time that extra 8% would really matter is during heavy AOE. But if you have heavy AOE, you've probably already blanketed rejuvs which with Regenerative Heartwood can turn Ironbark into a massive CD which basically covers whoever you put it on. Lifebloom on 2, Cenarion Ward on 3rd, Iron Bark on 4th, 5th is tank and can cry about not getting heals- who even needs wild growth?
As for the haste reduction after a certain point. isn't that at the actual numbers and not %? so for example 5200 is 10% reduction over that, but it does not take into account haste boosts like talents?
New Resto Druid here : What are mandatory addons for healers? Is there any "heal rotation" or is everything situational? How do u deal with big AoE damage on your group? Im running without any macros yet Whats the purpose of Swarm? Work towards manaless regrowths?
Question for the room! You said sparks are dropping like candy and I've also heard that but haven't had a single one drop for me. Am I missing something ? I completed the quest for the first 5 sparks and now what? I heard one guy already had 4 drop from him n I'm just confused. Thanks everyone. Great video =)
I more meant for new characters or alts - you'll have minimum 5 sparks to work with so no reason to worry about spending each one perfectly. Personally i haven't gotten a single extra one on any character yet
How about the staff that gives you a haste proc as embelishment? For non-mythic raiders that can only realistically get a staff from Vault it seems like a reasonable option. It's 418 iLvL so just 3 iLvLs behind the max Vault loot but one can craft it with the best stats and haste is already our strongest stat so a haste proc should be decent right? I find it weird that it's not even mentioned anywhere, even the slightest.
The staff doesn't have any secondary stats so you are sacrificing those for the haste proc and it can't have other embellishments. I've heard that the haste doesn't proc enough to make it worth the embellishments and secondaries
Hi growl , so i thought lariant count as an embelishment, can i have lariant + potion duration + the food buff? i didnt get the 3rd one because i read somewhere that lariant count as an embelishment , :C
Everything with an embellishment has the 'Unique - Embellished (2)' tag on it. It means what its always meant: you can equip 2 embellished items. If they don't have the unique tag, you can use them outside of that 2 item restriction. Alch stone, food buff extension, etc.
Man, i dont know what to do.. Im 410 and I dont have Ragefeather, cos trinket, nor any of the HoV trinkets. Its unreal how trinkets never drops for me.
I didn't feel that Tranquility was a emergency button like convoke, feels like the healing is slow, also you stay still for 6s in so many swirlings is a dead wish, to the point i realize i wasn't pressing tranquility in the entire dungeon cause i felt that casting wildgrowth+ a few rots was more healing and mobility than Tranquility. But i am a scrub with 2400 IO
More damage comes from being more comfortable in the dungeons. Knowing when your group is going to be in danger vs. being safe. Make sure you always have sunfire out (it's 1 global), then spread your moonfire as you can. And use a weakaura to track your adaptive swarm. Sunfire, Moonfire, and adaptive swarm are going to be the vast majority of your damage.
You’re doing something very wrong if you only are doing 8k dmg in a 18. You should be doing 18k+. Sunfire will do like 10k on its own. Then it’s about moonfire sometimes, and cat weaving along with using convoke offensively
Just another offensive trinket option that has seemed to do just a wild amount of damage for me is the Eye of Skovald. The meteor does proc off dots, so your moon/sunfires proc it.
I read on Dreamgrove about the changes to Protector of the Pack are such that it isn't worth the talent point anymore and some are going HoTW. WHat are your thoughts on that?
I really do agree with the Nature's Vigil + Flourish point, however one should really watch out where exactly its used in a dungeon. Flourish is in my opinion probably the most powerful AOE healing CD we have judging how Tranq renders you immobile and the healing done by it ticks a lot slower than a full HoTed target with flourish. In high keys like HoV (2nd boss) it really is mandatory to conserve it after you've blown Convoke and tranq if you wanna live. Same goes for a lot of other intensive AoE fights and even nasty trash pulls. Respect the flourish!
Yea I mean once you start doing 20s+ you know where those nasty parts are and you save it. The CD is super short so it’s not a big deal to use it on down times
Thx for the Video. How exactly does this macro with flourish and nv work? I tried one but it doesn't work: /use 13 /cast Nature's Vigil /cast Flourish That is what i used...
i would take the kick but it requires melee and doesnt switch to catform when u click it like incap roar so that is why i dont use it, as a pug healer i dont get much melee uptime and being ranged is way safer
I use this macro: #showtooltip Skull Bash /cast [nostance:1] Bear Form(Shapeshift) /focus [@focus,noharm][@focus,dead] /cast [@focus] Skull Bash But you can change it to use Cat form as well ofc
It switches you into Bear form and Interupts with one click, it sets that target as focus and interupts the focus untill its dead and then sets the new target as focus.
#showtooltip Skull Bash /cast [nostance:2] Cat Form(Shapeshift) /focus [@focus,noharm][@focus,dead] /cast [@focus] Skull Bash Works as well but for Cat
bro please help me ive beenplaying my balance druid 407.... on a 16+ i get 27m damage..... on cooldowns the whole time...... i dont understand why the fuck im not doing damage i swear i understand the kit i gett two fkin wraths to go into eclipse and spam the fire one and i guess keep dots up but i fell like im doing all this sht right and still comeing out with aweful aweful damage. please help me
I’ve never run the rampant growth so I wonder how much healing that really is doing. I’ve always taken circle of life as that’s a huge dps increase. Also you need to let protector go it’s garbage, make a full switch into motw and get back rip, it does massive dmg
Thoughts on the embellishment that gives mastery if above 90% health ? Also what about the talent that turns you into tree after three swiftmends, is it no longer good?
why you dont talk about the talent under imp. adaptive swarm? it gives alot of procs of free regrowths even after the tree of life buff is gone and that proc increase regrowths healing aswell. i rather use that also for instant regrowth's in critical situations rather then "Spring Blossom"
Thanks for this - exactly what I needed as a resto druid starting to push 20s! Did you know that the potion absorption inhibitor stacks? You can run two and have 60sec shocking disclosure potions. It's even better with alchi stone, which I'm currently running.
As a resto druid in a group with 3 ranges I find it extremely difficult to top up the party because they don't stand in my circle. I especially struggle a lot with tanks getting 70% health hits in 18+ keys. It just feels really weak when I can't really play with verdancy. I always get complains from them because they say the druids they see in videos have no issues whatsoever, but every resto druid vid I see is with a comp with at least 2 meeles. It's just rough out there man.. I think I'll just switch to evoker
Put lifebloom on one of the range and on you, then stand close to them with efflo on your foot, u can time ur lifebloom when it about to bloom, also regrowth will be casted on ur lifebloom target so u can regrowth tank n copy that to one of the range
Called out for being lazy for never taking kick. Its true though, im lazy XD Im already stressed from healing people standing in ALL the fire in PUGs lololol
"Once you get fancy" that really spoke to me on a personal level. Maybe someday.
Lol! I feel this.
Problem with Verdancy is that it requires PUG to stand in your Efflo…. Which is hard to explain to them. There’s always a hunter away in Narnia and a Warlock who refuses to move :)
Damn, the part about taking skull bash made me feel like I was being called out lol.
I made a macro to hit flourish, nature's vigil & voidmender trinket since I got a lucky drop from vault at 411. The I pop a convoke. It does a ton of damage and double ups as a massive emergency button combo for healing.
Thanks Growl for the amazing video as always
I might have missed it but could you please go over the dungeon dps rotation for Resto-Druid? That would help a lot to get familiar with the changes.
NV/Flourish on CD unless you need it for healing situation soon. Use swarm on CD, bonus points for using Voulk's WA to cast it on the optimal teammate. Moonfire and sunfire everything. If you have starsurge talented use it on CD. If you don't need convoke for healing soon, use it in boomkin form for AOE, or cat form for ST. If you have cat talents, swap to cat form and put up your bleeds.
Thanks dude!
Was just looking for resto druid 10.0.5 resto druid guides yesterday. Great timing.
You should talk about the interaction of convoke when swiftmending an ally along with pre using nature's swiftness. Any and all rejuv's/regrowths and wildgrowth's within the convoke window will benefit from soul of the forest and natures splendor without consuming them.

Convoke will consume soul of the forest, but not nature's swiftness. So dont use swiftmend pre convoke as it will get eaten, but you are very right that using Natures Swiftness before convoke is strong as all your regrowths will be empowered but you wont lose the swiftness buff.
I use nature + convoke in raids for extra efficiency, but nature + regrowth in dungeons just to have that extra spot heal in an emergency
first expansion healing or playing druid, growl has been so helpful
A disc guide for the new patch would be cool since they changed a ton.
I’ve been waiting for your thoughts on the talents updates!
sweet content growl... following you since the rshammy slands guides, very informative... thank you!
Hi there, Everytime you say "Hello Friends, this is Growl" i cant control myself to say "Hello Growl, this is friends". That line kills me everytime :D
Fantastic video, great explanations and very fun to listen to. Great job as always mate, love your content.
I've been maining resto druid but yeah you've brought up some really good pointers that I've not thought of. Thanks Growl!
Thanks man for the quality guides !
I like how Growl teaches us things really good, and I am a better player because I watch his videos.
I've been in love with Idol of the dreamer, it just sits on haste and stacks up at a medium pace.
Awesome guide!
Hello Growl, this is friends :)
Awesome guide. Thanks for all the tips.
ive done 40 dungeons and 14 bosses between my 2 characters last week and no bottled essence has been seen
was enjoying not sleeping :)
Any update on a build for pug climbing and low keys?

Great stuff man. Thanks a lot!
I really don't understand how Nature's Vigil works... can someone explain?
Which benefit does the moonkin form
Have? Is it possible to play heal Druid and use the normal form (taure)?
Or is moonkin a must?
As for the haste reduction after a certain point. isn't that at the actual numbers and not %? so for example 5200 is 10% reduction over that, but it does not take into account haste boosts like talents?
Whats the macro that you mentioned for natures vigil? id like to try it :D

I feel naked without an interrupt, what talents should i switch out in order to get to Skull Bash?
Awesome video as always! I love Growl. Please make more Druid and mythic coaching videos. ❤❤❤❤

I find it weird that it's not even mentioned anywhere, even the slightest.
In short its because lariat + potion duration tends to be better
The staff doesn't have any secondary stats so you are sacrificing those for the haste proc and it can't have other embellishments. I've heard that the haste doesn't proc enough to make it worth the embellishments and secondaries
Does the alacritous alchemist stone not count as embellishment? I see you are wearing it with lariat and boots…
No it doesn't
Hi growl , so i thought lariant count as an embelishment, can i have lariant + potion duration + the food buff? i didnt get the 3rd one because i read somewhere that lariant count as an embelishment , :C
the food buff doesn’t count as embellishment so you can use all three
Everything with an embellishment has the 'Unique - Embellished (2)' tag on it. It means what its always meant: you can equip 2 embellished items. If they don't have the unique tag, you can use them outside of that 2 item restriction. Alch stone, food buff extension, etc.

As far as I'm concerned I'm already very happy when druids in my pugs press lifebloom at all
Man, i dont know what to do.. Im 410 and I dont have Ragefeather, cos trinket, nor any of the HoV trinkets. Its unreal how trinkets never drops for me.

Did +18 last week, feeling ready for going +20 but my DMG is so weak at least 5-8k DPS

Just another offensive trinket option that has seemed to do just a wild amount of damage for me is the Eye of Skovald. The meteor does proc off dots, so your moon/sunfires proc it.
whats the addon at 9:20 ?
Thank you. Best guides
I'd prefer to go down the catweaving side. Is this viable?
Thanks for the guide.
I read on Dreamgrove about the changes to Protector of the Pack are such that it isn't worth the talent point anymore and some are going HoTW. WHat are your thoughts on that?
Don’t take it anymore, it does next to nothing for dmg for how many points it costs to go there
Why not use moonkin for moonfire and such, only for convoke? 10% extra dmg is not a lot but something
Can you do a same video with prevoker?
I really do agree with the Nature's Vigil + Flourish point, however one should really watch out where exactly its used in a dungeon.

How are you wearing 3 embellishment pieces at once? Lariat, the potion one and the food one.
You can’t
@@jonathanr49 you can, the food embellishment does not count toward the embellishment limit
i would take the kick but it requires melee and doesnt switch to catform when u click it like incap roar so that is why i dont use it, as a pug healer i dont get much melee uptime and being ranged is way safer
I use this macro:
#showtooltip Skull Bash
/cast [nostance:1] Bear Form(Shapeshift)
/focus [@focus,noharm][@focus,dead]
/cast [@focus] Skull Bash
But you can change it to use Cat form as well ofc
It switches you into Bear form and Interupts with one click, it sets that target as focus and interupts the focus untill its dead and then sets the new target as focus.
#showtooltip Skull Bash
/cast [nostance:2] Cat Form(Shapeshift)
/focus [@focus,noharm][@focus,dead]
/cast [@focus] Skull Bash
Works as well but for Cat
How does the Natures Vigil Macro look like exactly?
/cast Nature’s Vigil
/cast Flourish
what do you think of germination and Abundance combo instead of spring blossoms/Cenarion ward?
in m+ its to mana hungry
Mana and GCD intensive.

What's the addon that gives you the potion wheel!?
OPIE
I’ve never run the rampant growth so I wonder how much healing that really is doing. I’ve always taken circle of life as that’s a huge dps increase. Also you need to let protector go it’s garbage, make a full switch into motw and get back rip, it does massive dmg
Growl can you make a boomkin guide aswell?
Kinda still owns lol, Druid's best healer period. Druid has always been an amazing healer has never not been a great healer.
I enjoyed resto but rerolled back to DPS. Looks like I’m more the killer than supporter ;)
Why do you run grove tending over improved regrowth?
More hots for the mastery I believe
Thoughts on the embellishment that gives mastery if above 90% health ? Also what about the talent that turns you into tree after three swiftmends, is it no longer good?
That embellishment is not very good because very often when you are above 90% health your team is healthy so you don't really need extra healing.
@@Mode-Selektor I see, that does make sense. Thank you!
Tree swiftmend is good on tyrannical week for pulsing aoe bosses like NO, HoV, RLP
We getting mistweaver soon?
why take kick when you can have typhoon?
Not taking improved rejuv?
This just came out after the reworks sorry growl going to have to update it again soon
Can anyone confirm that moonfire/Sunfire don’t do more dmg while in moonkin form?
Grom, look at the meters.
Solid!
why you dont talk about the talent under imp. adaptive swarm? it gives alot of procs of free regrowths even after the tree of life buff is gone and that proc increase regrowths healing aswell. i rather use that also for instant regrowth's in critical situations rather then "Spring Blossom"

Afaik you only need it for AA for poison and Temple for the curses
@@Kano_NZ and you really don’t need it for AA honestly. That boss is a joke now
When are you gonna hit us up with the holy paladin guide?
Your talent build is interesting, are you no longer dps'ing as cat but as moonkin now?
He's doing both. Its in the video.
He’s skipped all the good cat dps buttons so I wouldn’t be cat weaving with his build honestly
Bro i rly need a Disc Priest guide from u
