First of all, FR does not make sense to exist in other specs other than guardian. I don’t care that “it’s a conduit that makes it too strong”. It’s simply completely senseless to exist for other specs, when such specs have their own defensives and heals.
Secondly, Bear Form effect should be severly reduced in non-Guardian specs as well when it comes to armour.
If somehow it makes sense to have both in the current state, every other heal and defensive needs to be nerfed. It’s absurd.
Big true, whenever Rdruid is in the meta, it’s the most frustrating to catch a druid and then have him sit bearform until he can get away, while taking nearly no dmg for the most part. (It was especially bad during Legion)
Cool lets remove all the shared abilities for shadow priest too then like leap of faith/ desperate prayer/ power word shield haha so you want blizzard to do pruning again when they just finally brought spells back into the game…
Frenzy regen has been around with feral and resto since forever its been changed a lot the way it works over time from consuming rage to heal to healing 50% of the damage you took in the last 6 seconds current regen is only good because of versatility bonus all dps and healers get now you should really look at the main problem instead of focusing at % based heals if it only did the fixed 32% of your hp back on a 33 second cooldown the spell would be fine but you have it increased by 42% from versatility and then all necrolords increase on top of this by 33% but this is a problem for all classes not just druid.
DPS Druids still have Barskin, Regrowth, Rejuvenation and Ironfur baseline
Then you have access to Swift Mend and Wild Growth, and Vortex
or
Frenzied Regen and Incap Roar ON TOP of that.
So how does that compare to Leap of Faith or Desperate Prayer, or 3K absorption shields which get broken with a single attack? Shadow Priest has 1 active heal, which hits back and takes off a % of your HP, and one long CD passive heal which only gets benefit if the Priest is able to freecast, and doesn’t get the dots dispelled. Druid has access to at least 4 different heals and perma wall. The priest abilities you’ve mentioned would be the equal to Regrowth, Rejuv, Wild Charge/Dash which exist accross the specs
Following druid’s logic, I should have accesss not only to Leap/DP, but also penance, pain suppression, chastice and barrier.
FR is part of Guardian Druid. So much, that in order to get it, you have it accessible through a talent. It’s not baseline. Removing that talent, or remving it from the talent is not pruning. If that talent needs to exist, it should exist in cost of something else, like for example losing barskin, and regrowth. Currently, Druids have access to it all. You heal absurd amounts with Regrowths, and if you fail to properly use your defensives, or anything else, all it takes is switch to bear, press one button, and heal effortlessly to 100%. You don’t see the issue in this because you’re playing a druid.
Reju is garbage, you take resto affinity for vortex anyway
You choose heal + cc vs heal + cc, so you can see already that this is intended
? You don’t even need to spec anything for that, you get it for free.
Guess what, reju can’t even outheal auto attacks, so what?
What are we talking about?
Shadow mend? 2. DP? 3. VE? 4. VT? 5. Desp. Prayer? 6. PWS?
I guess I should not count life swap and the talent which lets dispersion heal you for 50%?
Let’s not forget how durable shadow priests are with perma 15% damage reduction (once triggered by any random melee attack), greater fade and dispersion. Not even close is there anything a druid could have access to.
What are you talking about here?
Regrowth 2. FR That’s actually it for bear affinity.
Regrowth 2. Reju (lul) 3. Swiftmend 4. Wild Growth (omegalul) for resto affinity.
If you count the FR conduit, you could make it 5 with resto affinity, if you really count reju which barely anyone is using and 3 only with bear affinity. So it’s not at least 4.
Shadow does already have access to benefits the heal specs have, by default. And greater fade is something you can choose as PvP talent.
So you even mention yourself that the skill is NOT for free and requires you to make a decision. Further, vortex is so much better than incap, which means druids have to take survivability vs better CC, it’s already a balanced choice by design.
You now want to remove def CDs for a healing CD? Go play druid and show me how you live any proper go without FR, just with barkskin
10k Crit without dampening is absurd? Nice one.
How to fail? There is a wall, which is not even that good and barkskin is usable in stun anyway. A druid can’t even fail to pop defensives. Wanna talk about dispersion at this point?
Oh and FR is not healing you to 100% and if it does, it means you barely did any damage anyway.
guy probably played heart of the wild to have 2 charges of frenzy regen and it heals more with heart of the wild also thats a 5 min cd and its a talent that you have to sacrifice over bash aka stun
on my boomy frenzy heals for atleast 70% of my hp. It has some conduits, pvp talent(which gets removed in 9.1) so it heals really much. I think its okay though that boomy isnt really killable without mindgames because they dont do more dmg freecasting anyway, people can ignore boomies anyway.
the conduit is pretty op ngl but the meta is super bursty. Dont think boomies are op at all.
I hate playing against jungle as caster when hunter removes all dots all the time and feral is almost unkillable even with mindgames haha
Yes, because the conduit is not shown as cast on details, which is the reason why you didn’t show how many ticks it was.
FR ticks 4 times, with 6k ticks it would have been 24k only.
Nice try tho. Next time you want to troll harder, get a druid who is using swarm, the 20% conduit and strength of the wild
FR has 4 ticks, it has 6 either because it was really with a 5 min cd or it was with conduit and the druid was full hp after 6th tick. Idk how you set up your details.
