Greetings Mighty Druids,

I have managed, slowly, to Bank 6 AAs that are burning a hole in my pocket and am seeking some Wisdom. My spending options are as followed :
Use 5 to finish of SotW II & III
Get HA I & II
Get HG I & II
Get SCR I & II
Get SCF I & II
Innate Camo : not really a Charm Druid so normally have time to mem and cast spell

Of course I could get three of the lvl I, but not really sure that is the best way to go since lvl I seems to not really be noticable. I love to grp and evan though most time I am healer, I still seem to be able to nuke as well. Am looking for something to either help me get AAs faster or make a diffeence when grping. Here is the list of what I have : IRS III, IM III, SCM III, MC I, Exodus, RC I, and SotW I. All suggestions are welcome and appreciated, I am just thinking this should be a no-brainer and nothing is jumping out...... Thanks ALL!!!!!!!!!

If you want a difference when grouping and youre main healing, HA is the way to go. Itll increase your amount per heal (every time) and save you mana by doing so, and probably someones life eventually.

Healing Gift is only nice when fully maxxed, and even then you cant actually count on it so with aa cost I would save this for much later (I did).

SCR only helps buffs last longer. /shrug PoK MGB whores will love you but doesnt hold much bearing in a group setting.

SCF will help you get more aa's faster if you use it to kill mobs soloing or as dps in a group. It doesnt work on our AE so it does nothing for quadding. Again the fact you cant count on it takes away from its immediate benefit, and again only nice when its maxxed. But how I love seeing that red crit spam....

Innate Camo owns. If you solo or experience in rough areas (GoD) its a must. Staying alive on the way to a group/raid/solo spot is just as time effective as healing/nuking better IMO. Travel time is the biggest cause of experience loss I know of. (due to time of travel and/or death while travelling).

Really depends on your play style so I hope the suggestions above are of some use to you.

Good Luck!

Innate Camo, then healing gift. No question.

Innate camo I would have to agree. Then I would have to argue. Healing gift can help, but if you are watching your tank's life carefully then often you will see a crit heal get wasted. I cant begin to count the number of times i have seen a crit heal waste a third or more of its healing power... while healing adept adds to every heal in a far more consistent manner. I realize it comes down to a matter of healing style (as well as what sort of groups or raids you are in) but the choice between HA and HG is not cut and dried. I have found HA to be far more useful myself.

SCF - Was under the impression that this does affect quadding...

SCF does work on AE.
Karana's Rage crits quite often, especially quad kiting.
you have 4 chance for it to hit.


i prefer blasting to heal any day.

My philosophy when I started AAs was, how can I spend my AAs to further improve my rate of gain?

In your case, there are 3 choices. If you quad a lot, go SCF. If you group a lot, go HA. If you charm a lot, or if you find yourself needing to invis a lot, go Innate Camo.

A 4th choice, if you root-dot(not even sure if its possible, dont know the prerequisites), go Crit DotS AAs

SCR2 and SCRM give an extra tick each on sotw also.

As I always group, always keep 9+regen on the group, str and ds on the mt, I did SCR early. Combined with the 8th shawl, it makes for nice looooong buffs. :)

Less mana spent buffing per night. However, if your buffs last long enough for an ldon, and then you are lfg, it won't help much. I got it for our 5 hour PoTactic's pit groups. :)

My defense of SCR aside, those are all good options. I like SCF the best, but HG is the only one of those I didn't work on early. I do belive HA>HG, for many playstyles. And innate cammo is great. In short, you have made good choices, and other thn HG I think any of them will be fine. :)

Innate Camo > all.

Exodus is #2 on my list.

The rest is style.

Yeah Im dumb. It was too early and forgot SCF was for crits, not improved damage per like focus effects. Kinda sad really! = /

So yes, it does crit on the AE too....

See what work does to you?!

I took many members advice here and chose Innate Cammo :elfgrin: early in my AA path, and have not regretted it one second. I've only had it for about 2 weeks. And have found it god sent many times, It has helped me split pulls, and to expore a bit more than I could before. And last week I had a bad pull and we had to make a run for the Zone Line, and I had no time to sit and mem a spell , I was able to cast Invis on the run and not cause a Bigger Train.

Innate Camo is in the category of: "This is a super ability, I never realized how useful and convenient it could be."

Innate Camo is underrated by any druid who does not yet have the ability.

Innate Camo is a MUST have. I use it at least 100 times every time I log on.
