Resto Druid Changes Go Live

Without a word of hesitation from Blizzard. I would suggest not even running 2v2 or 3v3 this week (unless you're playing with one) and just waiting out the inevitable nerf, hoping it won't take the rest of the season.

If you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, Resto Druids are now officially unkillable, along with anyone they fully hot, unoomable, and thanks to the new 160 % additional armor in caster and travel form buffs can now also throw CC and damage around without any worry of being gibbed by melee. Don't believe me? Let's throw in some videos.

2400 + Resto Druid

New Innervate + Barkskin vs. Mana Burn spam

Edit: Another retarded video, this one starts out with a druid tanking a feral without falling below 70% and killing him with thorns, followed by some arena footage

For the love of god blizzard, nerf trees before its too late. Nobody is THAT stupid.

Why did they make druids the god-mode healer AGAIN in arena? We've seen every class (priests came close, but not quite on the same lvl as palis/druids) except shamans reach god-mode status in arena; I think it's their time.

Or, maybe they like having 1% of the shaman population actualize the full potential of the class in arena.

Because RMD still sucky donkey dick compared to RMP. Don't fear though Sodah, your druidskills might be wanted if you face eMazing. If you watched the last WoW Wednesday groupstage, I hope you took notes from mouz!

wow relax nerds, servers arent up yet.

with that said, this buff is kinda over the top because of other buffs weve recieved recently. the only real drawbacks to playing a druid was getting caught in caster, i guess we'll have to see how it feels to get caught in it after the servers come up.

if its only an 8% increase as affix is saying, its probably gonna be spot on, in which case nothing will change and the only nerf druids require is STILL barkskin dispel resistence taken away, and maybe changing innervate to 400% base mana instead of 450%.



the real problem here stems from ******* RING OF VALOR.

after playing 20 odd games against some bads, its pretty good, i think it might be over the top tho because i dont have full furious, missing like 2k hp 200 healing and 100 resilience.. sooo yea when everyone is fully geared i think we are gonna see this come back and bite us.

let me guess 1700-2100 rated player complaining about random challenger druids beating the OP because he doesn't know how to deal with them because he started playing the game since wrath so he never fought druids before. None
