Gearing up for BC endgame healing

Alright, I’ve buy wow goldhit 70, I’ve spent some time gearing up, and I’m finally getting around to typing up a bit of a gear cheap wow goldlist. This likely won’t have as many options for each slot as the original wow goldguide, simply because there aren’t as many items (as there aren’t as many instances), and there’s usually an obvious choice; also none of the drop rates are too bad, and none of the instances arewow gold considered “not worth the time” by half the cheap wow goldclasses in the game (the way DM used to be).

Stats are the same as they used to be, buy wow goldwith the exception of spirit gaining a huge buff for druids speccing resto. Spirit wow goldis now my second favored stat under +healing, before MP/5 and way ahead of int. I’m sure you can find breakdowns and math cheap wow goldelsewhere, suffice it to say that wow goldour spirit regen formula was buffed, and we’ve now got a talent increasing our spirit buy wow gold value, and a new form which cheap wow goldrelies heavily on spirit to buff the healing of an entire raid.

Eventually I'll make buy wow goldchanges to the stat and technique portions, particularly addressing tree of life, but for now I'm justcheap wow gold posting the items. I'll also come back and format this for readability, butwow gold not now; I've already been typing for about 4 hours and I really need a break.

No matter what your spec you buy wow goldwill be called upon to heal. Maybe not all of the time, but you still want to be properly cheap wow goldgeared. This isn't nearly as difficult as you might think. This guide will wow goldgive you an idea of what things to look for buy wow goldfor each slot, where to get them, cheap wow goldand why they're so good.

A word on stats:
Until you hit 60 all you need for a buy wow gold healing set is int, but after 60 this becomes one of the least valuable stats. Why? wow goldBecause the only time that your int value matters is when your mana bar is full. The focus shifts to other stats, buy wow goldwhich increase the efficiency of your mana and the rate at which you gain mana while in combat, because while one person may come into a fight with 7000 mana, if wow goldthey have low spirit and mp/5 they'll run out of cheap wow goldmana quickly compared to somebody who has 4000 mana, decent spirit, some mp/5 and some +healing. What are the stats you should be looking for and in what order? Read on.
+healing: By far the most important buy wow goldstat for a healing druid (and really, any healing class) is +healing. This is because once wow goldyou begin to get it in large quantities you can begin to use lower ranked heals, giving you much more health per cheap wow goldmana, and much more staying power in the longer fights. For example: once you get around 400 +healing your rank 4 Healing Touch will be hitting for around 900, almost twice what it healed for originally, but at the same mana cost. Far and away buy wow gold the thing to look for and stack.
mp/5: X mana per 5 seconds. A very important stat. cheap wow goldDruids don't get as much regen from spirit as mages and priests do, so we make wow goldup for it by stacking mp/5 items, buy wow goldwhich have the added benefit of continuing to regenerate mana even within the five second rule, while spirit is relegated to only outside the five second rule (with the exception of the 15% bonuses each from Reflection and 3/8 Stormrage). Over wow goldthe course of a fight this regen cheap wow goldreally adds up. I have about 40 mp/5, this means that in a 5 minute fight I will regen 2400 mana from my mp/5 wow goldalone.
Int: You know what it does. Bigger mana pool, more frequent crits (though crits when healing aren't always a good thing). Slightly more useful for ferals because of buy wow goldthe HotW bonus, which can give them a gargantuan mana pool, it makes a tradeoff for wow golda bit of int vs a bit of +healing not as much of a one sided wow golddecision.
Spirit: It makes your mana come back, although cheap wow goldthe mechanics involved are a bit more complicated than mp/5. It's not something you should be stacking, but it does buy wow goldhave its use and having a decentwow gold amount of spirit is always a good thing.

Raid healing vs. Healing in 5 mans:
While leveling healing was easy. Cast rejuv, buy wow golduse your highest rank of healing touch (maybe you downranked a bit because you wow goldheard people talking about it, but you probably didn't know why), maybe a regrowth if things get hairy, never running out ofcheap wow gold mana because of your huge mana pool but always having to stop and drink after a fight. You hit 60 and thingschange. buy wow goldYou aren't learning new skills anymore, your highest rank of healing touch willwow gold become less and less useful, but still burn through your mana bar quite quickly. What do you do to mitigate this? You become more efficient and morecheap wow gold powerful by focusing on +healing. You gain endurance by collecting mp/5 and spirit. As you collect +healing your big heals becomewow gold more powerful, but you rely on them less, focusing on the lower ranks, say 4-7. buy wow goldYour "bread and butter" healing touch rank should be hitting for a solid 900-1100, whatever rank fits in that target zone should be the one you use when healing the tank. You should always have at least 3 or 4 ranks of HT bound to your hotbar, I use 3, 4, 6 and 11 and cast them situationally. Trash pull? I'll chain cast rankwow gold 3 on the tank, andcheap wow gold use 6 if I need to spot a rogue who pulls aggro. Tank in a boss fight? Chain rank 3 and 4 as needed, if he drops too low toss wow goldan 11 out there to pull him back up. But that's me. Your numbers will be different, your style may be buy wow gold different. It's somethingcheap wow gold you'll have to learn for yourself, but these pointers should set you down the right wow goldpath.



On to the items. I’m not listingwow gold anything buy wow goldfrom heroic instances,wow gold rep grinds or raids. These are all quest rewards, craftables orcheap wow gold normal dungeon drops. Maybe later I’ll add morewow gold sections.

On sets:
Moonglade is decent. Yes, the druid dungeon buy wow gold3 is actually alright for healing this time around, but the budget is wow goldsomewhat squandered on some strength and agility. In general the pieces are solid for healing and mediocre for other purposes.cheap wow gold Pick it up if you can, but you’ll usually find something quite a bit better for that slot.
Hallowed Raiment is amazing. If there’s no buy wow gold priest in your group, take it. It’s often the best orwow gold second best wow goldoption for each cheap wow goldslot. If there IS a priest in your group, don’t you dare roll against them. If you even think about it you’re a buy wow gold horrible cheap wow goldperson.
