What Happened To My Resto?!
Posted: Mon Dec 20, 2010 3:43 pm
It's been almost an eternity since I last posted. Things were going along pretty well. Raid healing in ICC was good...leveling was pretty easy...even healing instances as I leveled...not so bad...
Heroics?! Yeah, forget it. I realize that the "new" environment *REQUIRES* dps to avoid taking damage whenever possible and to use mitigation talents during heavy damage moments in trash/boss fights...Tanks are using their own damage mitigation spells on a regular basis now...
But right now I'm the ONLY resto druid in my guild that's 85. They're expecting me to be grinding heroics and ready to raid in another two weeks. The farthest I've gotten is Ripsnarl in Heroic Dead Mines...and that's not without a handful of wipes and boss resets...
I'm struggling a bit and wondering if there are tips and advice out there? Gearing my druid is going slower than I had hoped...and I'm getting conflicting information...Our Holy Pally insists that we should gem/enchant Purely for Intellect...the resto shaman is saying to gem/enchant totally for spirit and haste...
I'm just confused and without another resto in my guild (and none of my friends in game play resto druids)...I don't have anyone to compare notes with. Was wondering if you guys had some idea what direction to go. <3
