Resto Druid PvP Guide - War Within Season 1

[@Guilherme-qk9so]

Worth noting that if you’re convoking defensively you might want to activate nature swiftness before you do. It buffs ALL convoke regrowths and doesn’t consume the buff. Great guide!

[@Insightfultv]

As I fellow druid streamer as resto, I thoroughly appreciate your work and dedication to the class.

[@cruciometal8992]

The "2 charges of swiftmend not giving more swiftmends" thing seemed so weird to me, I went into full calculations mode, even logging onto my druid with a stopwatch and... holy shit, you're right! I always learn something from your videos but I did not expect to have my views on multi-charge spells be tossed upside down... I've been playing this game since 2006... Thank you, I'll... need some time to process this...

[@burnsilog3226]

I do not use 2 swiftmends too, I only use 2swiftmends if im maining for most up time of reforestation procs. Viable on some scenarios.

[@attinger117]

lol. Multi charge spells suck UNLESS that spell has a proc that resets its cooldown, or a very short cooldown. Think lava burst for shaman. Stormstrike for shaman. Judgement for prot paladin etc

[@cruciometal8992]

@@attinger117 In general, the way I understand it: Multi charge spells are good if they are not the kind of spells you press on cooldown. Having 2 charges of pain suppression on disc is amazing, for example. 2 BOP's on pally is insane. Swiftmend is a thing you press on cooldown so it's a lot less useful to have multiple charges. Lava burst is part of the rotation for shammy so having more charges makes the rotation smoother, if that makes sense.

[@SlumlordGG]

Hello! Great guide. I have been struggling with resto, but the Invigorate talent has really allowed me to weave in more damage! Just so much easier than spam healing when an aff lock or shadow is dot'ing everyone down thanks friend

[@gabsisbabsis540]

Thanks to this guide went from being frustrated and hate towards dudu, now im happy and druid is my main heal now 😊

[@MrEngelhertz]

Thanks Marc, I believe now its time to also update the video about addons/weak auras/ TMW you have.

[@nerdalert1980]

Yesss dude! Been waiting on this ❤

[@Agitabodie]

Would be great if we could get a update in the description for the talents there.

[@maCAWfactory]

thank you so much man. Great guides, and builds. was wondering what was wrong with my druid. some dude i did arena with...hes like. yo, your talents are scuffed! indeed =( lol 😉😉

[@maCAWfactory]

i was using a weird lvling dung build. tried to make it work though haha, i really did =(

[@Freedom-of-speech4]

Hello Marc do you still suggest the same talents for solo shuffle bgs as in your description?

[@MMARKERS]

Yup!

[@norbgs07]

I'm having major mana issues on my resto druid...in 2s compared to any other healer...I'm oom and they are 70%+ still...any thoughts on mana management?

[@nerdalert1980]

+1

[@MMARKERS]

Master shapeshifter...thats it lol. Mana regen is insane if u are eithing maiming/wrathing

[@ilijavuk8075]

Resto druids are the most mana hungry healers. The main advantage, besides the master shapeshifter that Mark already stated is hotting your team and going for a drink while in prowl. Make sure to not do it while the enemy team has offensives up. Also kind of obvious but make sure to utilise Innervate

[@norbgs07]

@@ilijavuk8075 absolutely! I got innervate on macro when I pop tree form…it’s going to be instant regrowth so figured it’s mostly a safe move to do this. I try to tab target enemy and throw a few insta wrath’s out too!

[@frmtheden]

what is that ice looking back piece transmog that shows up? is this a transmog or toy? I am not familiar

[@MMARKERS]

Its an item. Type !backpack in my twitch chat for links

[@jakowish]

Nice video! Is it a common problem to get oom as resto druid?

[@MMARKERS]

Without master shapeshifter yes. Try it out! Even just wrathing will help

[@chrisheart4255]

thx 4 the guide. how did u get pvp scaling gear for the 1600 token. the only gear i can choose does not go up in ilvl in arenas

[@MMARKERS]

Yeah csn choose pvp or heroic ilvl pve tier

[@davidferreiraquaresma938]

why not darkmoon sigil symbiosis for the weapon? it says it gives 146 of versa each 10 seconds at 1% hp cost... Seems ok for healer in PvP, right?

[@hiramt]

Was there a change to Cen Ward? It's very hit or miss on when it decides to proc and start healing. I'll delay a swiftmend 5-10 seconds and finally give up waiting for it. The moment I press swiftmend the hot starts rolling,... Have you noticed this at all?

[@MMARKERS]

Not that i noticed! Ill have to keep an eye out

[@baa16L]

Hi, great video dude. One question, does the build for 2s work if my teammate is a MM hunter or is there a better build for my case?

[@MMARKERS]

Absolutely! Hunter druid is all a out cc. Nonstop clones traps and stuns

[@kadsytv1374]

Hey, thanks for the video as always. What weakaura are you using to track stacks of focused growth?

[@MMARKERS]

Dream of Cenarius will change the course of Druids in the new patch. Rejoice!

[@barthouweling4787]

What is the reason for picking up Wild Synthesis though? it feels yuckie bad

[@MMARKERS]

Purge protection

[@barthouweling4787]

@@MMARKERS it's purgable?! I thought I tested that.. oops

[@illusivetrading5157]

In your 2s build are you mainly running with a caster and using cat form abilities? How would you handle aggressive resto playstyle if running with a warrior? Use something closer to your 3s wrath based spec?

[@MMARKERS]

With a warrior, more caster style would be better. Yeah!

[@TheKb051]

Would love to see some more blitz videos. I've been struggling with how to play resto druid, I try to FC or use my stealth for flag caps or nodes but then I'm not with my team to help win the team fights. Often in WSG or twin peaks I go to get the flag and our team gets wiped because we have 1 healer to their 2 in mid. Should I just be in the team fight to start then peel off?

[@MMARKERS]

Need ppl on D most likely. A lot of ppl dont know when and when not to teamfight. Tough middle ground. I've been doing very well on FC maps so far and always try to designate some1 on D

[@TheKb051]

@@MMARKERS that's a great idea!

[@andrew_velaine]

Hey! I need help with somw info: So, im doing arenas in KOtG hero and i don't like that talent of Minor Cenarion wards from the treants. They heal for 2.5-3% overall but bwing able to burst heal with stacking bonus healing from different option feels better, especoally when you are out of all cc and target has no hots atm. So, the question is following: does minor cenarion ward counts as extra hot for mastery or not? Anyone knows? Cuz if yes, later in s3-4 when we get 20+mastery it will be doing nice passive buff, better than another option. Thanks.

[@MMARKERS]

99% sure it doesnt count

[@andrew_velaine]

@@MMARKERS wow thanks for the answer. 99% I will ignore it then xD thanks

[@hectordeantaperez4389]

Could a wildstalker with catweaving build work?? To do more damage (and is funnier to me) something similar as in dragonflight. Or do u think is far behind this? Cheers and thanks!!

[@MMARKERS]

2s yeah, 3s no. Not worth losing your positioning in current meta. Too many melee

[@Bornoh]

Love these builds

[@nicholasmartinez8204]

Asking the community how to survive crazy burst right out the gate when someone is going super aggro? I try to barkskin, bear, thorns, regen etc but I die through everything. Do I go tree instaa vs hotting and going bear? I play with an unholydk in 2s. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@user-lr3ft9zr4u]

No, you can always keep Tree up and cast it from your Grave. Yeah, i guess if you struggling to stay alive, you go insta tree instead of just Dieing?

[@MMARKERS]

Overgrowth swiftmend NS is my emergency heal. Trinket Tranq is another. Dont underestimate shadowmeld as a defensive too if you're NE. Meld, stampeding roar to a pillar and top up

[@nicholasmartinez8204]

@MMARKERS thanks brother. Really appreciate that.

[@nicholasmartinez8204]

@user-lr3ft9zr4u wow thanks for non useful insight

[@constantinosavraam6657]

What about that Keeper talent with the 8% dmg reduction on you when u cast Regrowth on yourself for the FC build? Isnt that talent only worth it more than the extra whatever u get from Wildstalker?

[@MMARKERS]

Its def good, but always outrunning the trees was enough to drop it for me. Throughput of WS feels better single target on the move

[@constantinosavraam6657]

@@MMARKERS That makes sense! It actually cleared up some things about the two specs just by explaining it this way. You’re an amazing educator, I bet the kids idolize you 😊

[@ooanticsoo4475]

Hey man. I was wondering how viable healing while in feral form is.

[@MMARKERS]

You can weave in and out in 2s but not so viable in other brackets

[@ooanticsoo4475]

@MMARKERS dude I was so excited for an almost fistweave viability when I first read some of the abilities. Probably overpowered but I bet it would be fun gameplay!

[@Bornoh]

How does your mog get blue wings sometimes?

Its from mop remix cant get anymore

[@ondamixtape]

I m using all cds, not even cc. And can t top a guy if double focused. If double war rush i can t heal this. Rdruid is so bad ?!

[@effortlessGFX]

100% it’s your gear. Or maybe you. Loads of RDruids around 2k in SS already. Not on the level of Pres or Disc though.

[@Ankerstjerne1982]

Also is the guy you are topping up using his CD's in a smart way?? or is he just a meatbag soaking all the damage.

@@Ankerstjerne1982 of course it s a meatball without pressing. But I should heal this at arena start

For all druid mains reading comments (off topic) - I have rejuv / regrowth build that I use on Raids coz that is the optimal that I can use for spread healing, may I ask what do you use? or is rejuv still good??

[@MMARKERS]

Rejuv is def good rn. Much better than DF

@@MMARKERS nice nice thank you man! More power to you! Dont change main please

I play wildstalker into 1 rejuv and spamming regrowth. Duration is sick and healing roots are popping a lot. But kotg spec is also good but you have to run convoke for mana anyway.

why wildstalker for bg heal?

[@MMARKERS]

For the aoe healing benefits. WG and efflo u use alot more in bgs and they proc the blooms. But both can work well!

[@andrew_velaine]

Less relying on treants CD, and more aoe healing overall. And solo healing feels better, much better than kotg.

Was waiting for this. What do you think about the current state of resto in tww? For me, it sucks that feeled 7 out of 10 battles are against a fkn evo. 😅

[@wowdhaewow8901]

i know no one cares, but you should not use acronyms, like i know NS means natural swiftness, but others who are starting out would have no idea what you are talking about. and saying "NS" saves you all of .25 seconds of your time.
