Resto Druid Raid Healing Guide - Cataclysm Classic

[@knots9119]

this is the most informed and autistic video ive seen from a healer so far in cata. easy sub

[@macdaddyswag2585]

thx brotha

[@essbea8727]

The ToL commentary killed me. Looking forward to your upcoming vids. Subbed!

[@b1ng_james13]

Thanks for the Guide Brother.....glad I happened to find your content right when you were making this....R-Druid main here as well

[@jonathanharris7185]

Subbed and liked because of your excellent info on Tree of Life usage. I'm not even a Resto druid. I'm researching to help other raid members. Thank you sir

[@macdaddyswag2585]

1 mistake on the tree of life thing. Tranquility actually does not snapshot with Tree, I thought I tested this on the private server but I must have messed up. The way you use tree form now is the same as in the video but just don't use tranquility at the end.

[@WWSzar]

Can't wait to watch this! You better do a Holy priest (archangel chad spec) guide next!

[@Ezyki]

Once all the guides are finished and you're somehow still alive; we need more "Healing Review" videos.

[@ryansavage2152]

I specced out of healing touch entirely and went for the regrowth talent. It means all direct burst healing needs to be regrowth which can keep up with the healing of HT but it’s less mana efficient. What I found after tracking a bunch of fights is that when i (and other druids) are specced into healing touch we don’t actually use it very often but we do throw down a handful of regrowths during the fight even though we weren’t specced into it. Haven’t ever found a Druid who did the same thing as me

[@djomlanrt]

LoL just readin this while befor when i was watching thinkin to myself, fuck i play a totally different kinda set of healing style like him. But, i would kinda find both starts, depending on boss and phase to choose from. Idk.

[@albeshino8875]

We want macdaddy guides not only on healers but also for dps and tanks

[@macdaddyswag2585]

lol idk jack fuck about dpsing and tanking in cata.

[@Burdarper]

I would like a MacDaddy guide for my tax return

[@Lefeelz]

I know its a rdruid guide, but clarity on holy radiance for the paladins in cata. In t11 and t12, it was a 30 second cooldown that did healing to everyone around you. Healing more the closer the person waa to you. It didnt become a spam healing that generates holy power until dragon soul :D, but solid guide, rdruid will be my main alt healer and im pumped for cata

[@macdaddyswag2585]

They're using the dragon soul patch afaik, so they'll have holy radiance spam for the whole expac.

[@Lefeelz]

@@macdaddyswag2585 oh hell yeah, I am down with that!

[@afscrew123]

​@@macdaddyswag2585 it was spammed in DS sure, but even if you can do it in t11 you wont have the mana for it at all. Playstyle will be more similar to 10man healing profile, just replace all WoGs with Dawns (and the occasional radiance)

[@macdaddyswag2585]

@@afscrew123 Nah I don't think the playstyle will be similar to 10 man except on bosses where the whole raid stacks up for most of the fight. I'll explain why in my h pal guide.

[@ethanbremner3356]

I verbally moaned when I scrolled across this, made sure to set the bell to ALL videos posted so I won’t miss any based and woke content. I already know this is gonna push me over the edge to play Rdruid. Always mained priest since classic in 2019 but if Druid is as fun as TBC Druid god damn. Harder and harder to pick, I’m over 2k rated in all brackets in arena on priest, I’m finally finishing my vala’nyr on pali this week and I have my Rsham prepped for Cata arenas. FUCK

[@rodirish7787]

ty you are the best for real ty so much glad you are back looking forward to some priest videos resto druid is just a side play

[@unbr3akable688]

for HC dungeons, speccing into 60% regrowth crit and living seed 3/3 takes care of random bursty tank damage amazingly well.

[@victorfranco9172]

Dude I love your honesty, I am sorry to say but I spaced out and my friends want me to learn how to heal (for the first time ever) And you left me wondering if this is too complicated to learn lol.

[@macdaddyswag2585]

I wouldn't worry about it, contents nerfed so it won't matter if u play really well or not. If you enjoy it play it.

[@daalton5836]

god amongst men good work looking forward to the streaming!!

[@sdg8676]

at about the 23:00 mark you mentioned you'd probably choose to do 7 lifeblooms in this case. Do you mind elaborating a bit more on the decision process behind how many lifeblooms to use in tree form situations? I think I heard you say 6 in an earlier part as well (sorry if you did explain and I missed it!) Great video! Thanks for putting in the work :)

[@macdaddyswag2585]

6 lifeblooms if you need to use wild growth off cooldown because this strategy gives you 1 free global. So on magmaw for example, he does little spurts of random damage before the big burst of raid damage happens. So you'd want to use wild growths off cooldown while you're stacking up lifeblooms. 7 lifeblooms if you don't need to use wild growth until the big burst of raid damage happens like on chogall. Although an alternative is to do 6 lifeblooms and use your 1 free global to put rejuv on the tank. Hope that makes sense.

[@helloworld-rv3zw]

thanks mac, can't wait to show everyone how godly rdudu is once again

[@lazer9870]

nice guide ty, I think it would be a good idea to have a link of your suggested builds in the description.

[@josedavidmunozmartinez4722]

I really thought I was the only person who said "Wrath of the SHIT king" lol!!!

[@hiloulkevin5850]

Hello ! what is the name of the addon that allows you to display the small sheets on your interface please?

[@bmdshred77]

Really want you to do some resto druid healing on raids so I can see how you do it. We cleared BWD and fairly easy on 10 man but nefarion was a challenge. Do feel like I could of healed much more efficiently

[@burnsilog3226]

doing it good in dungeons, been practicing for a week now

[@huggyskyway]

What a whiny negative vibe from the get go. And it comes so naturally.

[@Crookqt]

Thank you for the video :)

[@PerzyYT]

Great guide. One thing I haven’t seen anywhere; when should I use Regrowth over Nourish and vise versa? To me, I thought you’d always spam Regrowth over nourish due to the +60% crit talent but I still see you nourish quite often. I never use nourish. Thanks in advance!

[@santiago41212]

regrowth is way too expensive. should only use it on ooc procs or in emergencies/very short fights

[@quangkhai6699]

There are like 2 reasons that u should use regrowth 1. To proc nature grace and 2. When u need to pop a quick heal or when omen about to expire Fast heal in cata is really mana inefficient so u want to use it the least possible

[@oskargustafsson500]

Got this up on recommended, fkn 10/10 and Im not even a rdud

[@ericpadilla2454]

i thought lifebloom can only be casted on one player? u talking about casting it on multiple players followed by wild growth

[@macdaddyswag2585]

yeah in tree form u can cast it on multiple players

[@oozeness7621]

Imagine not making the Holy Priest guide! You need to stare into the light (well) more, it will give you power wisdom and courage to finish your guide series. P.S. Side effects may cause partial blindness but it wont help you to unsee what other healers have compared to Holy Priest.

[@mrgmadrid4465]

bro i want your ui its simple and clean and declutters your screen how do i get that?

[@kopykat9310]

WHAT DA HECK HOW DID I MISS THIS UPLOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NathanHendrix-n9y]

EZZZZZZZZZZZZZ sub. Love it.

[@Calcepher]

If you still have your healbot setup can you share?

[@aaronmcpherson1297]

I like the new trees pfft lol

[@mikeybarraclough8223]

is that heal bot that youre using and is it easy to set up the buffs displayed on raid frames? ive been using Clique with Grid2 as my raid frames through WotLK and it seems good but i dont have anything set up for druid spells as im rerolling from hpal. Just looking for something easy to set up and tweek as needed and i like the look of what you have here. Clique is great and easy to set up but Grid2 works best by putting the spell ID of the abilities and buffs you want shown on raid frames and with druid i feel like thats going to be a lot of back and forth and a little bit of a headache to set up.

[@macdaddyswag2585]

I think healbots easy to set up but I'm incredibly biased because I've been using it for 10+ years. Adding spells is easy in healbot you just type the names in, and you don't need clique because healbot has that functionality built in. I recommend looking up a healbot guide.

[@asldfjkalsdfjasdf]

Try Aptechka it works great out of the box

[@thomaskoltiska6825]

I fell asleep a few times watching this.

[@aftha330]

fr, the dude's looking bored on his own video

[@ericpadilla2454]

for the life of me i cant find a haste cap guide for phase 1. The numbers mostly include a raid buff of 5% (which we dont have in my 10 man) and numbers are different and from 13 years ago. Any idea what my hast cap should be for phase 1?

[@macdaddyswag2585]

without 5% haste buff u gotta get 1602 haste for the extra rejuv tick and 2745 haste for the extra wild growth & efflo tick (not likely in p1)

[@ericpadilla2454]

@@macdaddyswag2585 thx. Im sitting at 1617 and was wondering how i can get the 2745 lol.

[@jongotti7403]

lmfao. the law suit… thumbs up

[@soseN08]

What are the best professions in your opinion?

[@macdaddyswag2585]

Any of the passive stat professions seem good to take, I think tailoring is overrated because random int procs are bad for healing.

[@therdex95]

​​@@macdaddyswag2585I guess it's kind of late to comment here but since I had the same question Doesn't Tailoring also have a random Spirit procs cloak? Which would be at least more reliable (I don't know if that extra spirit is profitable if you play properly around mana management tho)

[@macdaddyswag2585]

@@therdex95 yeah spirits more reliable but int is better because you get mana + spellpower. None of this really matters tho, I'm a firm believer that healing is all about optimizing your gameplay/healing strategy. The difference that 1 profession makes over another on your overall healing is practically non-existent so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[@marioizidoro8896]

Did he ever show the glyphs?

[@iTzDanyx]

Nope xd Basically those glyphs are self explanatory cuz you only use the good ones xD Prime -Glyph of Lifebloom -Glyph of Rejuvenation -Glyph of Swiftmend Major -Glyph of Healing Touch -Glyph of Rebirth -Glyph of Wild Growth Minor -Glyph of Mark of the Wild -Glyph of the Treant -Glyph of Unburdened Rebirth WG is a bit debatable but honestly there is no better glyph to use as 3rd spot so if you don't want to use it, u can basically use anything else cuz the rest are equally garbage

[@theunwow]

Based

[@christianvelis6614]

Is that healbot? If so can I get the profile please. *Also weakaura pls

It’s funny because it’s a pretty great guide. Lots of people who might rub you the wrong way still have much to teach you.

[@teriyakiwilson7072]

What healing class are you going to main in cata classic?? Im torn between Rshammy and Druid with the off spec potentials.

[@macdaddyswag2585]

Gonna play R druid and Disc Priest. I think when shit is on farm and guilds start forcing healers to play offspec, holy priest will be the first to go then r sham then r druid.
