Great read! I have recently rolled a druid on the new server (Borean Tundra) since it is the only class I have not played yet since vanilla WoW. Your article gave me some concise guidance and I am greatful for that.

I wonder if you will write an update post 3.1. I am very much looking forward to dual spec and have been saving offsets for that purpose…

Good info to know.. But also if you giving us some points maybe its a good idea to reference were we can get gear’d to be able to do Heroics then Naxx then onto 25mans. Also what enchants are better for healing. Maybe if a little in detail about what resto druids need either SPR or MP5. B/c I know a lot of druid wonder whats better +34SPR or 16MP5 for instance. Then a very HUGE thing is how to gem your items.

Wow, this was really helpful. (I recently switched to my druid after playing a Warlock and Rogue to 70). Although, I cannot think of anyone not using swiftmend… I have always used it, and i love the 1000 heals it does instant (only level 48)

I’m using Healbot, but it’s bugged sometimes. When i need to go resto (i’m a tank) it helps a lot, but i’ll try grid+clique. I use ct_Raid for raid frame mod.

@Flawlless

I don’t have a middle mouse button. At least not a GOOD one!

@tkc

I’ve never personally used Healbot, I started with Grid+Clique and never looked back. Healing touch is useful to have in an easy to click location, for that oh @#it NS+HT combo on a toon about to die. And as far as rolling LB, I’ve missed many a cycle, usually because someone needed some urgent healing.

Not using Swiftmend enough? I’m guilty. I healed in Kara the first time last weekend. It went pretty well because the other healer was in T5 gear.
For Healbot/Lifebloomer shift-right-click is Healing Touch. Considering how this will almost never be used I think I’ll change it to Swiftmend. This way I’ll have Rejuvenation on right-click and Swiftment on shift-right-click. That should be an easy combo to pull off every 15 seconds.

Rolling Lifebloom on the MT is the bomb but it is not a cardinal sin to let it bloom while you heal the rest of the raid. There were times when the rest of the raid was taking splash damage and I was too concerned with keeping 3LBs up on the MT. So keep the 3LB stack up but not at the expense of someone dying due to lack of healing.

I don’t use the middle mouse button either. For some reason I find it clumsy. It is probably just me being uncoordinated.

Why don’t you use the middle mouse-button?

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article. My main was a holy pally and I respec-ed my druid from moonkin to resto three months ago when we needed another healer for a 2nd kara guild run. I’ve remained tree and the druid has surprisingly become my main. Druid healing is hot

I must admit though that I’ve only recently learned how to use swift mend and still only rarely use nature’s swiftness. I think it has to do with some awkward key bindings so I’ll look into improving that. I also loved seeing your UI, it’s clean and pretty. Will definitely take on some ideas from your screen shot and add ons so I can improve my raid healing.
