Nature's Healing Touch. Classic WoW Druid PvE Healing Guide

[@Psillytripper]

your narration has gotten alot better in your videos. feels like you have been improving on your voice inflection and such its nice and seems more natural :) and as always you are very informative :) good video amigo hopefully we can get some life into this channel :)

[@OnWeD18]

Yo bro, Google alot xD im not trying to be an arse, i learned it the hard way too, but its spelled "a lot" but try google "alot" :D

[@kogdanetdeneg]

Heart of the wild spec resto druid is my favorite playstyle. you can still be a competent healer, but your value is in being able to off tank too

[@TacynMegan]

Droods are very underrated If you see one , give it a hug

[@STiAT-DaSchurl]

I'll still play a Druid since it's the only healer I can personally identify with on Alliance side (and my guild will go Alliance). I've mained a healing druid for ~2 years on a private server. While it's not the most fun experience and I had 0 issues getting a raid spot and didn't have to share gear with half a dozen other shamans (horde tends to bring just one priest and one druid, rest of the healers are likely to be shamans). And Shaman would be the 2nd class I could identify with, but well - since I have to play alliance if I want to stick with the guild that will very likely not happen.

[@brunomanso9428]

It would be a good idea to make a resto druid in Firemaw to support a certain warlock.

[@steffennielsen3304]

very nice walk-through. Thank you!

[@kurtosterkamp7905]

Thank you for the guide. I needed a reference on how to get more mama efficient with my healing after going oom in BRD after DPS kept getting aggro. The moonglow build is what i was looking for.

[@staplesfoley]

Moonglow is amazing efficiency but Imo it requires a high +heal set to make proper use of the % mana saved, i think best dungeon/early raid spec is Hotw hybrid 20% int when undergeared is a nice boost to mana cap to play with and not as +heal dependant

[@tommyakis]

What about heart of the wild /ns build. It is my go to spec for farming and healing.

[@J8D8]

I really like this one too - but issn't this build in need of pretty high gear ? as you don't have moonglow

[@stefans.466]

@@J8D8 nah its Just Not good for raid healing in BWL and AQ Nax. Because u miss out the 10 % healing increase.

[@solmyr42]

Wow man.. I should be working, but... there's a new Alive vid out on druids x-D

[@mosquito6581]

Which down rank of regrowth would you use for raid healing ?

[@banishedbr]

When u remember that vanilla didn't have Tree of Life . . . :(

[@Joe-dw3qj]

These are decent spec, however moonglow really isn't relevant until later on when strong tier 2 gear kicks in. You become a blanket healer and heal the raid. In early phases this won't exactly be a great spec due to how much mana regrwoth costs. All around, I feel like HOTW is just superior to these early on due to its ability to do both roles, and have a high amount of int. There's not a massive differential between heals in a full resto build vs hotw build.

[@Spinexus]

Moonglow is by far the best spec early game. Has the best mana efficiency when your gear still sucks!^^

[@kajzar]

Underrated channel. You make good content. Hope to see more of if

[@typicalzen6149]

thanks man we missed ya

[@MattMorrisINTP]

I played a druid in vanilla. Healing kinda sucked in raids so I rerolled a Warlock and never looked back.

[@Rammbukk]

Great stuff! Informative and well put as always! ;)

[@sprish00]

this is exactly the video I was looking for. thank you for a druid video!

[@ailst]

What I find weird about most healing-guides is that they are more about "preventing how to get sniped" rather than ever mentioning how to coordinate healers to prevent such a thing to begin with. Mathematically it is way more efficient to have healers take turns in healing, meaning that each healer gets teamed up with another healer and while one starts out healing, the other starts out doing dps in a way that costs no mana. When the partner's mana drops low they swap roles. This is by far the best way to make use out of all the spirit on the gear but also add some damage to the raid, that otherwise simply wouldn't be there.

[@MegaBoomboom01]

usually you need most your healers healing cant have some do dps also a lot of healers do very little non mana damage, most people who go spirit have some way of continuing it in combat like druid mp5 for a lot of healers is superior

[@hunternewberry5860]

No mention of battle res?

[@linckes1102]

Great vid man :)

[@Hysonktu]

they also got the sweet battle res

[@TheSecteurWest]

Interesting but what about leveling tho ?

[@devilmikey00]

You go feral and keep a healing set if you ever need to heal. You can heal just fine in feral during levelling and you can both tank and DPS as well. Basically, you can find a role in ANY group while levelling as feral. Not to mention if you are healing or DPSing and the tank dies you can pop your HOT's, shift to bear form and possibly prevent a wipe. Honestly, feral druids are the best levelling class in the game next to hunters/warlocks. Your talents and forms let you move faster than everyone 10-19 levels early, you have a ton of "oh shit" options to prevent deaths, you can stealth past mobs to reach targets, you can fill any role for dungeons and have one of the lowest gear dependances while levelling.

[@brandonhemmie4890]

Very helpful!

[@aegis2002]

Another great spec you missed - 0/30/21, which nets you Heart of the Wild and Nature's Swiftness. A fantastic hybrid spec that allows one to both tank or heal quite effectively, and is also particularly solid for Resto play early on thanks to HOTW and that sweet sweet 20% Int buff. Not to mention good survival for PvP, and to be able to do solo content without having to respec.

[@IamAliveTv]

That spec is not viable for serious raiding. There are too many "dead" points in the feral tree whilst on the way to the heart of the wild talent. It is decent for pvp, but this is solely a pve guide focused on raids

[@aegis2002]

@@IamAliveTv youtuber SkarmTank would beg to differ - he's healed and tanked (granted, mostly tank) private servers the past several years with that spec, MC through Naxx

[@aegis2002]

More of an all-rounder spec to be sure, vs your idea on this vid of offering a purely Resto perspective. Just tossed the info out there in case you/others weren't already aware of this option. :)

[@IamAliveTv]

@@aegis2002 I'm aware of skarm. A guild, if playing well, can clear naxx with 38ish players. Just because you "can" use a certain spec does not make it optimal 😆

[@aegis2002]

True, and never claimed it to be optimal. Gotta try and bring as much to the table as possible, as a druid, if one wants to land one of the two to three raid spots max that most groups will offer us generally.

[@aaronshadowhunter656]

What about heart of the wild NS, it allows you to tank and heal with the same talents

[@montanafreedomhomestead3949]

Druids are the best. Classic here i come.

[@beastsdruid]

15/0/36 spec is awful imho. 5 points in Wrath are pointless. 3 points in Natural Shapeshifter would be better and you would still have 2 points to spare for Improved Entangling Roots.

[@Joe-dw3qj]

my thoughts exactly, I prefer HOTW spec. If you know what youre doing you can make the spec work well in healing. That regrowth spec is only good later on when you have good mana and mana regen for regrowth spams.

[@anonymousjeffry1864]

Raid heal with Regrowth? I guess that could work for 20 seconds.

[@kronk7848]

You need good gear and rank 4

[@Joe-dw3qj]

yea, you can only use this spec later in raids like aq40.

[@Kalibr91]

Great videao. You mentioned that druids are most often utilised as tank healers. Can you please explain, which healer class is the most optimal for raid healing and why?

[@martinb.5193]

Shaman because chain heal

[@marc-andrebergeron6900]

tranquility?

[@SerdarAkkilic]

I believe you missed gear, trinkets, etc.. also you should consider making boss fight guides after this class guides too. Pvp guides will also be very nice.

[@wrathbaby0007]

Everywhere I go I see people saying Druids are worthless in Classic. This video didn't really change my mind on that. I guess Faerie Fire is great though.

[@pedrokot]

the jumping around made my nauseous

[@partynhouse]

Are you insane. Using mana pot every two minutes cmon dude express yourself correctly. Even the people with money would go broke for using mana pot every two minutes 😁

Good to hear, that just means less competition for the rest of us ;) But in all honesty, I wouldn't roll druid for the raid healing experience either...
