I have a guardian druid with restoration affinity and the restoration abileties are not useable in bear form and yeah i know it isin’t supposed to but i do have the request if the instant cast ones could be used in bear form. So instead of going out of bear form to use rejuvenation and/or swiftmend i wish that rejuvenation and swiftmend could be used in bear form but on top of costing mana it will cost rage. The rage cost being so no one spams rejuvenation for free
That could work, but for it to work.
should Balance affinity abilities also be able to be used in Bear form?
I don’t see the point of a Bear shooting Starsurges at adds.
Or a Bear using Feral abilities in Bear form.
I don’t see the point for it being a thing tbh, that is not what Bears need right now to be more viable.
About balance affinety|no bears wouldnt be able to cast starfall or wrath for example but starsurge is also a cast if youre not a balance spec so no bears wouldnt be able to cast starsurge. And no i know gardians dont need this but it would just be rather convenient for soloing dungeons as druid, and thats only the instand cast oones so only rejuvenation and/or swiftmend
I remember when i was a druid healer in cat form sense a while back i could use swiftmend, cenarion ward and an other heal dont remember the name, and those where castable in any form so i didint have to go human form to heal once in any dungeon and thats what i was thinking of guardian if they could be like cats where. Cats where like that in mists of pandaria
Why so ? Balance abilities are tied to the moonkin form, which is a dps playstyle, not a tank one. Same goes for cat.
On the other hand, healing abilities are tied to nothing since healing is something you happen to need no matter the spec (ex : cats with predatory swiftness), most of all when you’re tanking since a dps is only meant to deal damage.
All in all, I find the analogy you’re making to be utterly irrelevant, and couldn’t agree more with OP. Making healing abilities usable in bear form for rage, or mana but with say a relatively long cooldown would help a lot in making bears less trashy, and would fit the class fantasy just fine.
Of course i don’t see bears using Balance abilities such as Starsurge and Starfall in Bear form.
My point is that, Guardian druids don’t need more self healing to be more viable.
I’m assuming the post is too help Guardians not be the trash tank no one wants.
But keep in mind, they were kings in Legion. Basically too good.
But to improve Guardian as a tank in BFA. they just need some tweaks, and buffs to their mastery.
Perhaps some gameplay changes wouldn’t hurt.
But in legion, it was pretty obvious. that Guardians were close to what BDK is now.
I tanked as a Guardian in Legion, and i could compete with healers in HPS on certain fights.
