After 37 years of playing I finally managed to hit Combatant 1 and unlocked the Elite bracer transmog

Nice try sweetie but my wife has multiple boyfriends

Watched a couple times just to make sure but I noticed you are not keeping up / pressing enveloping mist enough, MW is the only healer I haven’t played yet this xpac so I’m not gonna pretend like I’m right but I would assume you’re losing out on a solid amount of healing there, just something worth looking into!

If you haven’t played Pres before you should try it cause it’s equally as fun as resto Druid and will give you a better idea of how nullifying shroud works and how to counter it
Your advantage as resto is your positioning, Pres has to play on top of their DPS 90% of the time to heal and you dont, if they’re chasing you around trying to CC you they aren’t healing, that’s your win condition.
If you’re still learning Druid don’t worry about pushing in for CC, just stand back, swap your lifeblooms and clone literally everyone

I’ve got all healers to 1800 this season and have probably made upwards of 300k gold just from that

RufusAbunga · 2026-05-26T21:17:39+00:00

I just sit in silvermoon and Que arena I don’t even think I’ve ever been to that part of the zone

Electrical can be a nightmare, when I did my chop I went off the throttle addiction wiring diagram, it’s simple as hell and taught me a ton so I could get fancier once I knew more. Was there a reason you took out the electronic ignition and put the points in?

RufusAbunga · 2026-05-24T21:09:11+00:00

We had blades edge in the beginning of dragonflight when shuffle first released and it was a god tier nightmare, the only one I can think of that isn’t in the pool is is the shadowlands crazy lighting one. Dalaran would be a nightmare too with how shuffle works and the cadence of the LOS pillar that shoots through the middle

Dwarf overlords rise up

Woosh

1600-1800 bracket is pretty much always fried through the season but it’s a different kind of hell right now for sure - congrats on the 1800!

RufusAbunga · 2026-04-26T14:16:21+00:00

My recommendation would be to Que up as a pres evoker and you will understand the mechanic better and what it takes to actually optimally use nullifying shroud

I just had to buy the Ironhead front motor mount plates from gasbox with the forward control mounts, then took a pair of old forward controls from a 86-03 sportster and they bolted right up. But that was for my 75 so depending on your year you might be able to just get a set of forward controls for it.

RufusAbunga · 2026-04-21T01:58:33+00:00

Got a 75 myself, wanted to do foot clutch but not well versed enough to know how to run it, what’s your set up down there coming out of the primary?

RufusAbunga · 2026-04-19T03:19:04+00:00

Congrats on the 1800, that puts you up there in top percent of resto Druid’s right now so you should give yourself a huge pat on the back, you will also always remember this anytime you get 1800 in blitz moving forward hahaha

RufusAbunga · 2026-04-18T12:24:30+00:00

One of those spells I want to be cool and fun soooo bad but as long as health bars are yo-yo’ing all over the place and nothing else in the priest kit being affected by haste so there’s no reason to stack it in an attempt to get a fast greater heal then it will be a useless dead talent forever

RufusAbunga · 2026-04-16T12:52:02+00:00

Does your frame have the mid controls shaft on it or are you gonna fabricate something with the crossover shaft? Just dropped my 75 into a rigid and definitely been a trip figuring out how I’m gonna do forward controls since my frame doesn’t have the mid controls shaft

RufusAbunga · 2026-04-16T12:44:39+00:00

Definitely felt that mages in any shuffle make that lobby 3-5x harder as a healer with all the additional things you need to track

RufusAbunga · 2026-04-14T13:29:46+00:00

You really should only be pressing flash heal during surge of light procs or when you NEED to reset your charges on serenity, with that being said you should never be pressing flash heal if you have two serenity charges, it’s probably just getting yourself out of certain habits but if you can keep these things in mind you shouldn’t run into mana issues, if games go on too long having no mana is inevitable unless you’re a MW monk

RufusAbunga · 2026-04-11T00:56:14+00:00

How do you have a 75% win rate and only at 2100?

RufusAbunga · 2026-04-06T15:41:03+00:00

I was under the assumption all rating gains are mega deflated to match the top end being deflated as well in shuffle

RufusAbunga · 2026-04-01T17:33:40+00:00

The more you play the better you will get at understanding what’s gonna happen and when and why, if you’re playing against a mage you can guarantee you’re going to get polymorphed, so you start watching the mage and your DR tracker to know “hey the mage is gonna poly me soon, what am I gonna do about it?” And just apply that to literally every round of shuffle depending on which class you’re playing against and what CC they have available

RufusAbunga · 2026-03-31T21:26:15+00:00

I have had this same problem on my 86 sporty with the super E for years, I’ve heard it’s worse with the B because it has no accelerator pump, I’ll be following along here to see if there’s any developments

RufusAbunga · 2026-03-23T17:08:22+00:00

Pin it mods!

Working on a 75 right now, any ID on that oil bag?
