"Contrast Theory on Resto druid Pve Healing
As a resto druid, all I have are my hots.
if I have all three hots on you, and you are still loosing hp
no amount of mana will save your life.
I cannot spam heals like other classes
This is why +Healing is most important
There are two situations which I will be called on to heal.
Main tank, and raid healing.
When healing the main tank, my first paragraph applies
when raid healing, I have to take care of many people.
I do not have time to throw two or three hots on you.
I will give each person a Lifebloom or a Rejuvenation
these spells cannot crit.
If a single hot does not heal for enough.
No amount of mana will save you, I cannot spam heals like other healers
Tree Aura;
if you are a resto druid with full T6
and Gem every socket with +10 Spirit
you might be able to hit 800 Spirit
that equals to +200 healing to people in your group. Probably the main tanks
but, by having 800 spirit you nerf your self to a max of +1800 healing.
I cannot think of any situation,
where you would have more than two people dedicated to heal a main tank
this essentially means you are giving each of them 200 healing
Tree aura is 25% of your spirit. That means for every +10 spirit gem you socket. You gain +2.5 healing in tree form Only to people in your party and 3.5Mp5
an equivalent gem is the [Royal Shadowsong Amephest] +11Healing and 2.5Mp5
it would take 5 people healing the same target to make the +10 spirit gem worth the cost
I have no sockets with Spirit in them, not even a socket bonus
and I have 400 spirit. That equals to +100 healing to people in my party.
When you stack spirit for the tree aura, you are essentially taking healing away from yourself and giving it to other healers in your raid at a ratio of four to one.
You will never have more than two people dedicated to healing the main tank, so do not justify your aura by multiplying it by the total number of healers in the raid. You can only multiply it 2x
Spirit is only important for druids when you are taking Innervate into consideration
with 424 spirit, my innervate reigns 95% of my mana. I have done tests
with most boss fights not lasting more than 10min, you will rarely get the chance to use innervate twice
-MATH-
with 424 spirit. And innervate reigning 9,000 mana every 5min,
that equals out to 150mp5
so a single innervate will do the same as 150mana per 5 seconds in a 5min period of time
so, once you have gotten 450 Spirit. You will regin 100% of your mana pool.
At 450 spirit. It is time to start working on Mp5 instead of spirit (if you do care about regin and not just healing like myself)
"
Also the number 1 PVE guild in the WORLD, every single one of there Resto Druids Stack +22 healing and nothing else, just a thought but it could be something to do with math in the above wall of text!
