Discuss your talents and tell us how long you have been this particular spec:
My current spec is 8/2/31 Resto Druid. I picked this spec because I wanted to try healing, and ended up loving it. My spec may not be the exact cookie cutter spec, but I like to try out new specs from time-to-time to see how they work. One talent I see a lot of other resto druids using is Empowered Touch, but I don't use it because I like to have my LB stacks fall off while I am casting Nourish or HT so that, if need be, there is a bigger heal when the tank or other person needs it.

Ventrilo and do you have a mic:
Yes.

Do you have an authenticator?
No.

Typical Weekly Playtime:
I am on usually after or between classes, if I am not on WoW, then I am on SC2. I am usually on past 5:00 EST every night.

Time Zone:
CST

Previous Guilds:
My previous guilds are Ancients - Drenden, Chain Pull - Nazgrel, and Linkshell - Nazgrel.

Previous Raiding Experience:
I have downed 1/7 T12, 12/12 T11 with heroic Conclave and Heroic Magmaw, I cleared every raid boss back in Wrath durring it's time of progression (Except Heroic LK10/25, Heroic Anubarak, and Yogg 10/25).

Why are you applying to us:
I am apping because you seem to have raid times that fit into what I can attend. They are in the afternoon after classes and end early enough, and the days work good.

Link us your Armory:

Do you know anyone in guild? If so please list your pals.
I do not know anyone.

Tell us a bit about yourself:
I am an average college student (minus the parties). I like to have fun and play video games.

Ran a heroic ZA with him earlier and it went well. I dunno... I've just got a good feeling about this guy for some reason.

[Deceax]

One question. Would you stand in this?

[Wrathblood]

Imagine that your character is really chilly, and the RL told you that it gave you a big buff of some sort.

Lifebloom Uptime: This is just as important as Harmony uptime. This is essentially your passive tank healing, as well as a heavy portion of your regen (assuming 2pc t12). Lifebloom should be as close to 100% as possible in the form of a 3 stack on a tank. In a 10man situation this may be even more vital as it very well could be your only source of Replenishment. There are periods where I may let LB fall in a 25man setting (if you are eating slashes on domo for example) in favor of more direct raid healing, but should very rarely be considered an option to do so especially in a 10 man raid.

I do keep LB up atleast 95-98% of the time, I just recast it once to refresh if target has enough health (Since the cast of LB is < the regen of my mana, I get more mana back than I am spending. This would be just like casting nourish 1 time on the target because mana cost is the same for both spells).

Well, I think this is handicap of using a 5-man log. I suspect Diablo's looking at the log and seeing ~60% lifebloom uptime for Dakaara and Jan'alai and thinking "Hmm, that should really be a lot higher..." while Uchitoru looks at Nalorakk (88%) and figures overall it was a 5-man. We'll have to do BH or something and see how it goes.

Sounds like a plan

With your gear you should not be having mana problems, at this point it would be strongly recommended to drop the 2 points from Furor and grab Moonglow,
unless you are a full time tank healer 3 points in LS is probably a waste, and 3 points in NB is not a suggested talent since RG is our most costly spell and really only used in an emergency. If you wanna raid competitively it would be most valuable to drop the 3 points in LS and drop 2 points from NB. To put them in Naturalist(2), Empowered touch(2) and the third point in your Efflorescence. Other then talents your gear and gems are good, you need to enchant your bracers. As far as reforging you are at the point where you no longer have to reforge crit or mastery to haste, you can start reforging some spirit instead.

I agree, I was just looking at that and realized I shouldn't have them there, they should be in, as you said, Naturalist or Empowered Touch. I will remove a point for furor for the last in Effloresence. For my bracers enchant, I was working on getting the 15 water for the int to bracers. And you are right on my mana, most raids (unless I am forced to spam heals all the time) I am sitting at 80% mana + the whole fight. I will make some changes when WoW comes back up to spec and reforging and get the last coupple Volatile Waters for my enchant to bracers.

• Barkskin's not bound
• Default Raid Frames?
• Not sure if we have room for another resto druid. Having a holy priest / resto druid is kind of redundant as is.

Just want to point out, I do play on a touchscreen laptop

Tell me you want me to go back to disc and maybe I will! Of course, I'd be even more redundant if I were holy/disc...

[Wrathblood]

We could make diablo go resto/boom instead!

On this note im going to start gearing my other druid since she is already boomkin spec, although at this point i may be better off boomin in healing gear lol
