Regrowth + Moonglow + ToL + Imp ToL = 44% off of the mana cost. Add in the Regrowth Glyph (+50% to regrowth if the hot portion is still on the target) and we have some serious healing going on. If the trees stay the way they are, and with the nerf to lifebloom, regrowth may just become the main heal of choice for resto druids.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811289397849721885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863412955392305799.post-72373424185099692732008-09-03T12:23:00.000-06:002008-09-03T12:23:00.000-06:00"(There's also the aspect of me that wonders if re..."(There's also the aspect of me that wonders if resto druids -- the primary HoT healer -- have a suitable subsitute direct healing spell)"<BR/><BR/>They do. Have you not seen Nourish? It's an outstandingly good single target heal, even with no hots on the target.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384554437096427217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863412955392305799.post-91228767384815160402008-09-03T12:18:00.000-06:002008-09-03T12:18:00.000-06:00I'm not sure I'm even a fan of HoTs being able to ...I'm not sure I'm even a fan of HoTs being able to be removed, especially if they are "removed" and not "dispelled". I'll admit, as a 2k+ warlock in S3 (I have not participated in S4), I had to deal with my fair share of pillar-humping, painfully long, painfully frustrating druid / warrior matchups.<BR/><BR/>I guess it's more of a general disagreement with blizzard's design philosophy regarding dispelling-- "remove" versus "dispel" being the case in point. If a class can "remove" but not "dispel", that makes any talents that provide "dispel" resistance completely worthless against such an adversary.<BR/><BR/>Also, HoTs already suffer from MS, and they are only viable if your class has enough HoTs that combined they can put out enough damage. I'm reasonably sure no one complains about "renew" or "Gift of the Naaru" in arenas. (There's also the aspect of me that wonders if resto druids -- the primary HoT healer -- have a suitable subsitute direct healing spell)<BR/><BR/>But I digress -- I am not in the beta and can't strive to hypothesize on the effects or balance.<BR/><BR/><BR/>In other news, here is the information I mentioned about DoTs, haste, crit, and scaling, Leiah. http://ravenworkshop.blogspot.com/<BR/>(Yeah, weird URL/ Blog name, but whatever)Veokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383873342597584492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863412955392305799.post-89970828072540776232008-09-03T09:28:00.000-06:002008-09-03T09:28:00.000-06:00I think you are absolutely correct.

I'm rather excited about the HoT removal by itself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622625533565017679noreply@blogger.com
