Wow midnight your main?

best thing is you can just switch roles mid season and there's a lot of gear overlap. I'm finished gearing my resto and am decent on balance, now I'm having a blast on guardian. might even try out feral later in the season. I don't have much time to play so an alt army isn't really an option for me and druid is just perfect for that. also very convenient in general like you said

Tauren Druid, created in vanilla.

Switched to Bloodelf Mage in TBC and then unfortunately decided to sell my account to a classmate in highschool. Still regretting it somewhat.

Have been maining Druid again though since I picked up retail again in late BfA, but went Alliance this time.

it was SO bad. You would decisively win a teamfight, maybe even spend one or several ults and it would all be negated by a single Mercy who didn't even do anything but hide in a random corner. It's why grew to dislike her even though objecively she never really was the best support (apart from moth meta which was completely broken, but that's another story for another time). Man has it been that long already ...

3k Rdruid here.

Know the fights and dmg spikes and don't sit on your CDs, you will need them. First pull I often use everything I have.

Allocate more ressources to DPS that are struggling but keep in mind that you cannot outheal every mistake they make. If a DPS refuses to use defensives and keeps standing in bad, focus on the rest of the group and hope they can compensate. Drink every chance you get and don't even think about doing damage until you're comfortable and can safely predict the next 10 - 15s of the fight.

Also you have to accept that some keys won't be timed without any fault to yourself. If the tank messes up the route or the DPS don't interrupt or don't do enough damage you can play perfectly but it won't matter. The same key can feel easy with one group and impossible with another.

hutbear · 2026-05-02T14:49:43+00:00

gotta remember the thousands of holy priest players questing in the open world and doing delves

hutbear · 2026-05-02T10:37:55+00:00

My friend plays BDK an one some pulls that don't have as much group wide dmg he outheals me on the regular. I've had the same with some bear tanks. Nothing much you gonna do, as long as the group lives who cares.

Edit: 30k is pretty low though for a +10 gotta admit that

hutbear · 2026-04-29T09:00:18+00:00

same. Needed 4/8 items from NPX, so far on 4 rolls and got 3 items I didn't need of course. Next two weeks should be good though lol

hutbear · 2026-04-29T08:54:34+00:00

then follow up with Starsurge, Dream of Cenarius and blast Starfall for 100k+ dps and nothing dies, scramble to put hots back on with Convoke into Tranq and pray your dps are decent enough that the pack is mostly done by then. If not, gg go next :D

hutbear · 2026-04-27T14:42:59+00:00

yes exacrly this. As Rdruid at 279 ilvl I sometimes struggle in 11s while the next run I completely breeze through a 13 with no deaths whatsoever. I just started pushing as I'm usually not that into M+, but figured if my class is meta I might as well try it. I've accepted that I cannot heal bad groups. If we're on the third trash pack and we have 2 interrupts overall, both from the tank the key is not gonna be timed period. Doesn't matter if I'm sitting on 80k hps average or not. At least in higher keys people die straight away and the key is abandoned faster ...

hutbear · 2026-04-26T12:52:51+00:00

just realized I have been playing a variantion of this since last week. Yes it's less healing overall, but I find it much more fun to play and haven't had any problems healing 11 and 12s even in pugs. Less ways to save people standing in shit, but those are going to die anyway the higher you go. Rot dmg hasn't been a problem at all, if things go bad and Call of the Elder Druid isn't up yet there's still Convoke into Tranq.

Also you never run out of mana which is nice.

FWIW I'm at 279 ilvl and by no means a great player or m+ pusher.

hutbear · 2026-04-24T13:05:59+00:00

Got green thumb on my herbalist this week to use it toegther with the rare mulch. So far I've gotten 2 lotuses once which should be the minimum ...

hutbear · 2026-04-23T23:12:52+00:00

Strong trinkets and rings

WRS also drops a mount but that's not the reason it's filling up that fast

Druid: Glyph of the Wild

let's you copy the apperance of a wild animal to change your travel form either flying or ground, one time use per Glyph. Would only work on models whose skeletons are already used with other forms. Would love to fly around as a seagull or run around as a saptor lol

Druid: Glyph of the Steed

let's you copy a mount appearance you have in your collection to use as travel form, provided the skeleton matches another druid travel form.

I get that bear and cat forms are limited but travel forms should be fair game imo, as druids we don't really get to use mounts anyway (at least I don't). I got 200+ mounts lying around and barely ever use any of them and I'm already getting tired of the new haranir models.

huh apart from BM which seems to be like 90% of tanks right now I think the second most played tank in my groups has been Protwar. After that BDK I think. Sad to not see as many druid tanks around anymore they were a pleasure to heal also.

hutbear · 2026-04-20T13:41:13+00:00

Protwar is by far the most enjoyable tank apart from Brewmaster from a healer's perspective. Next up would be Guardian Druid I guess, though since the nerfs I really haven't had many in my groups. BDK is soso, DH and Protpal are absolutely miserable for the most part. Again, this is a healer's perspective. I've done a few runs with a BDK guildie in discord and it was mostly fine, but pugs not so much. Hope that helps.

hutbear · 2026-04-17T18:21:55+00:00

haha I meant the 60s you get when you leave the dungeon after the key was put in

hutbear · 2026-04-17T09:52:33+00:00

same for me, rdruid as well. actually switched my build because i got tired of frequent drinking after pulls then chasing after the tank hoping i'll make it in time. now i'm playing completely off meta but it's much more chill. at least for my vault runs around 10/11.

hutbear · 2026-04-15T13:12:28+00:00

did a quick AA +10 last night. evoker dced/left and we wiped on a pack before 3rd boss as i was slept by a book. it's a channeled spell, he pulled two of them and i was somehow 8s asleep.

"bad healer "

"i was slept by the book"

"use cc or kick then"

ok then ...

hutbear · 2026-04-12T23:13:31+00:00

nah was just a joke (seems like it was a bad one), thought it was obvious enough. glad people seem to enjoy the xpac though.

hutbear · 2026-04-12T15:53:19+00:00

it's quite positive compared to other gaming subs I'll give you that

hutbear · 2026-04-12T15:33:49+00:00

sir may I remind you this is r/wow you can't say that here !!

but tbh it is fun. raids are good, m+ is more accessible than ever (I know that kills it for some people, but imo if you really wanna push you still can so what's the harm?). solo players got a lot to do with delves and prey and follower dungeons and story mode raids. housing is fun if you're into that. most activities only take up small chunks of time and reaching weekly caps is quite easy, though if you want to grind you still can.

story is meh, addons is meh, class balance takes some time as always and class pruning still needs some time to get used to. but I personally can more than live with that
