Running of of mana, and low healing?

Classes Druid
1

So, I just switched talent from bala to restro. Buuut, for some reason I ain’t healing, at all! My absolut top is 7K, for ilvl 342. I did a normal Mythic yesterday, and we died four times because of my low healing - pretty embarassing. Also I always run out of mana, doing raid fights, I’m pretty much just standing there at the end of the fight, cus my mana is too low -.-’
Anyways, I was wondring if maybe any of you were willing to help me out? Either by giving me some tips, or teaching me in-game?
First 120 healer - ever - so maybe also some basic healing tips?

BIG thank you in advance.
xx

My druid - forgot to change char

for Mythic+ some more mastery, and picking some traits for your helmet :wink: could help, talents wise it seems decent :slight_smile:

Raid wise i would go with whatever has the highest item level unless you use the trait autumn leaves (resto druid stats are very well balanced atm).

I don’t mind helping you out in-game, when i get home from work and you have time ofc :slight_smile:

What you are experiencing is not your mind playing games with you.

If dummies aren’t moving out of bad, or interrupting appropriately, you won’t be able to “heal through.” Just how BfA is.

We are not terribly mana efficient atm, maybe the worse healer in that regard. I try to carry 150 waters, in case no mage around. When I get lower than 50, I buy more. But, always want to have water! Drink AS SOON as combat drops between pulls. You’ll have to.

  1. So, tip one, always have water. Drink often. If gonna be on for a while, try to horde water from a mage. Its better than store bought water. :slight_smile:

  2. Almost on cooldown, pop innervate on yourself at 70-75% mana. Rookie mistake is pop it when you are already low on mana. Popping it at 70%, will give you at little regen time, and depending on the fight, might come back around.

Well as a night elf you can drink during combat unless it is a boss, thanks to shadow meld :slight_smile:

Thank you so much. I’ve had some troubles figuring out traits, I’m not really sure whether to prioritise mastery or intellect?

I’m visiting my father this weekend, so I wont be home. But could you leave me your battle tag? Then maybe we can figure something out some time next? :slight_smile:

that might be a bit of a relief, haha.
In your opinion, how is restro druids? I’m currently thinking about trashing it and focus on levelling up my disc-priest instead?

I will go buy tones of water right away! How about food? Should I go with mastery or intellect? Or does it depend on my own stats?

Thank you! =)

Overall Resto druid is one of the stronger healers in mythic+ and the next patch will only improve on that fact, if it is released as on ptr.

However in raids our main potion of healing comes from Tranq + flourish, which while extremely strong is also kinda boring :pensive: .

General rule is to go for item level (higher intellect), but if you are lacking healing for mythic+ a bit more mastery could help. :slight_smile:, since it increase our single target and small group healing a lot.

Have looked for you online a few times, without luck. :slight_smile:

I wouldn’t give up. By the time you level/gear up another toon, the whole landscape about “which healer is the best” will have changed 3x over.

You have to pick what you like, and roll with it. Through the ups and downs.

As Koomie mentioned, we are currently very strong healers, esp. in Mythic+/5-man dungeons. The limitations you are experiencing are not related to the class, as much as the game as a whole.

Food, I will use haste or mastery. I have huge stacks of both while leveling cooking. It doesn’t seem to make a discernible difference for me, between the two. Mastery does seem to be the better stat though, according to addons.

In summation, healers (and tanks) can’t “carry” a group anymore. If they play blind, people will die, you won’t be able to heal them. That is not your fault. interrupts, positioning, moving out of hurt, is all very important. if people fail to do that, then you can’t save them. The only way a group will wipe, because of a healer, is on a boss, and you disconnect. Otherwise, they shouldn’t wipe.

Increase your mastery for dg,
Azerite outer ring use grove tending trait, rampant growth trait, fungal essence trait, or uldir raid trait .
Talents prosperity, soul of the forest, spring blossoms, flourish.
Always use efflo under tank. Use lifebloom on tank.
Use weak aura for soul of the forest. 1 people low hp. Use swiftmend , with soul of the forest buff you heal %200 more at your next regrowth or reju so dont waste it. Use on low hp people or reju tank if he is getting nuked.
Another tactic ;there is an incoming high damage use reju on everybody, swiftmend someone with lowest hp. Wildgrowth (%75extra from sotf) then flourish (%100 increase tick). It will be like tranq.

All the guides and the pros say:

don’t take prosperity and soul of the forest.

But, I go against the grain–at least when starting out. I used it early on, and found it to be pretty good. Like Lagemas said, get a weak aura for the Soul of the Forest proc, and use it appropriately. I often used the empowered rejuvs on the tank.

On a side note, I played my holy paladin today, and man, she is really mana efficient, I almost don’t have to drink at all.

I really prefer the ironbark talent.
