Ya, same number of ticks, they just come faster. :D

Each RJ will do more HPS, but you won't be able to keep as many up at once. For example, you may only be able to keep it up on 12 people instead on 15, but you'll heal those 12 faster. Nice for concentrating healing on a smaller number of targets, potentially bad if everyone in a 25-man is taking slow steady damage, or you are planning on using RJ to keep people swift-mendable. But blizz trended to more healing on fewer targets in 3.2, so it'll be interesting to see if this continues in ICC.

I don't think I'll be losing one of my other glyphs for it yet, but *shrugs* I'll be wanting to try it out sometime, since RJ is usually most of my healing anyway.

Ferals pull aggro from me all the time.

Really, as bad as Arms Warriors are on group pulls, Ferals just blow me out of the water on single targets. No threat reduction coupled with some pretty insane DPS leads to that.

Not that Ferals aren't a pain on group pulls either. Swipe really needs a threat modifier for Bear/Cat form.


I pull aggro from just about any tank if I lay right into my rotation, but feral tanks have the hardest time because they're already my personal mangle-bot, so all I have to do is rake, shred, SR, Shred to 5cp, Rip, refresh rake when needed and spam shred. It's teh hotness. Unfortunately our best feral tank is also the best feral dps on the server alliance side. I'm getting close but his gear still keeps him a decent margin ahead.

Meh, I'm not overly impressed with the glyph then. And why the hell didn't they clarify it in the tooltip? Why not "your haste rating now affects Rejuvenation duration" - other than the bad rhyme, it's pretty good, yeah?

Might pick it up just because I'm only healing heroics these days. Imagine if you have around 400 haste rating plus that egg which gives you a chance to get, what, another 400 haste rating? 800 haste rating and you apply a 15-second Rejuvenation. But that's not even with the new Gift of the Earthmother in there. Sheesh, it would be like a 9-second Rejuvenation or something like that. Maybe faster. Tick, tick, tick!

Rejuv glyph + Rejuv Idol + Spark of Imagination + Ephemeral Snowflake = win.

Haste on top of mana cost reduction throw in the fact that with that trinket you've basically gaurneteed yourself to never have to wear a piece of spirit or regen gear. The possibilities are pretty much endless.

Throw in the 4 set bonus from t10 and wow.

It's very nice and all, Arex, but if you're up against something where Rejuvenation spam is enough, chances are you're not having mp5 issues anyway. I couldn't find Spark of Imagination on WoWhead, by the way. New trinket?

Right now I can heal heroics without dropping below 90% mana, unless things go south. Rejuvenation + Wild Growth is enough to take care of anything that isn't lasting. Regrowth + Rejuvenation on the MT and Lifebloom or Wild Growth every time Clearcasting procs. With the Tear trinket from ToC5, I get 500 mana back constantly. Coupled with Clearcasting, Revitalize and 300 mp5, I don't really need anything else.

If I'm healing raids, yes, my mana tends to drop, but only if I'm spamming Nourish on people. If I'm spamming Nourish on people, Rejuvenation isn't enough, regardless of its duration. If I need 6k+ heals every second, a 9-second Rejuvenation that ticks for 2k wouldn't be enough.

They's gots some smexy synergy goin thar.

I think Arex meant spark of hope perhaps? But ya, I only have part of that combo, and it just makes RJ's numbers look scary. It was part of the reason for my "why am I even using LB?" realization a few weeks back.

RJ spam with WG every cooldown is still going to maximize the potential healing in a raid situation Maz, so anything that makes RJ better is going to be well utilized. You won't see it work so well in heriocs though. Since you can only get 5 RJ going, they can't match the output of Nourish spam. However once you get about 6-8 RJ (it depends on gearing and talents to a degree) ticking in a raid you'll have the potential to do more healing with RJ then you can with Nourish spam. At that point it just comes down to whether or not the damage is concentrated on a few individuals (favoring Nourish) or spread throughout the raid (favoring RJ).

So Glyph of Maul and the last fight in ICC + a non-accurate DBM announcing of the add spawn is a bad thing.

I had to delete the glyph. Helped greatly but it was late so we stopped for the night.

Spark of Imagination is where you find Mimiron.

Clearly Arex carries Mimiron in his pocket.

With my gear, it's pretty much a wash between 4t9 and 2t9/2t8. But that's gearing for Agi since I can't get an ArP trinket (GT or Mjolnir) to drop. I'm probably going to be tanking more now, anyway.

Finished ICC10 off tonight.

Almost had it on 1 try but a DK got stuck on the braziers getting away on a Blood Boil.

Then we just had the shammy healer go DPS and raped him.

Two pally healers equaled easy mode.

The new raid fights are all quite interesting - although Deathbringer Saurfang is a bit of a snoozefest for melee - free target dummy testing except you and the target are fully raid buffed & debuffed!

The gunship battle is a lot of fun and our tanks are getting good at rocket-jump kiting the enemy boss around, although we still evacuate periodically to let the boss lose his buffs. I'm a bit concerned about how long the guild takes to kill the spikes in the 1st encounter. Us melee kill two spikes and then I look around and the 3rd spike still hasn't been dropped by the ranged yet - Hard modes will not be so forgiving!

Melee still should move to the braziers on Blood Boil or w/e to avoid the boss from getting more angry boss attack points than he should but ya otherwise you don't have to move at all.

The fights in general are IMO more about the DPS doing stuff except the first one. Then the tanks have at least a little bit to worry about.

Overall I like the new raid but I think the 28 days will be a long 28 days.

Also for bade purchase I'm thinking Idol first.

Would be nice for tanking and DPS.

Opinions?

The idol is good, but isn't the only way to get t10 through badges, and then upgrading the badge pieces with raid drops?

Yes, well as far as I know, the 25 may drop a token as in ToC, not 100% on that yet.

But since we have 28 days till the next wing opens. That gives the Frost from doing ICC10 weekly, more if I swing into a 25 man, plus the 2 per day and 5 per week from the weekly raid quest.

So getting sh*t tons of Frost badges should be fairly easy.

Which almost makes me want to get the Idol first.

I do realize how sexy the 4T10 is for tanking and want it bad but it is not as sexy for DPS.

I don't DPS that much but still the Idol seems like a really sexy multi-purpose badge purchase for today's sexy feral druid.

I rock my DPS gear in the new LFG tool and embarrass DPS. One guild healer noticed a bit but also noticed the huge DPS boost. I think HoR is the only heroic I use tank gear for to be honest.

I'd seriously think about moving to Arex's server if they raided at anything close to a time I could raid.

Just as an example.

You should come to Neptulag, Aeth. We've got nice stuff here. Lag, Bulgarians, lag... more Bulgarians...

Yup, this server has it all. If by all I mean lag and Bulgarians.

I don't! Halp!

You also have Pwnanza, the filth that betrayed Kazzak.
But if Neptulon has bad lag I laugh at them because they left Kazzak to get away from the lag xD





Also, we don't have many bulgarians.
We do have an absolutely kickass raiding scene.

So far you get 2 tokens from Deathbringer Saurfang in 25man ICC. To use them though, you need to hand the token AND the badge tier piece in - you buy the low level piece and upgrade it wit the token. So the first 4 Emblem of Frost purchases I make will be 4 pieces of T10. That 4pc bonus is worth something like 700 DPS in my current gear, and i'll need all the pieces eventually anyway.

The only other way will be when they add in the new VOA boss, although i'm not sure which slots will drop in there - and I have the crappiest luck in VOA on all my toons.

Haiku for everyone about my wow time now.

I no longer raid.
Real life takes up too much time.
Casual really sucks.
