On my first forays into Ulduar, I haven't changed my style of healing. Roll LB, Rejuv, Regrowth on MT... Roll LB, Rejuv the OT... Spot heal the raid with HoTs/Nourish. I haven't had any mana issues yet (Naevia/Medivh), but I was appalled when I seen this: http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/7509/31lifebloom.jpg<br /><br />Yes, that was almost a 22k crit on a bloom. My effective healing had one to hit for 20.5... but that was the biggest one I had seen.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032107545250385399.post-17477390876976721622009-04-19T07:46:00.000-07:002009-04-19T07:46:00.000-07:00@Dil: I don't know if you're right about that... i...@Dil: I don't know if you're right about that... it says on the tooltip that it refunds half the cost of the spell, not half of the base mana it costs.

Resto druids with set bonus can cast lb with 733 mana cost. It will refund 489 with final value (since it refunds half of the base mana cost). That makes it cost 244 mana per lb. Before 3.1 lb cost 366 mana so that has come down 33% if you know how to use it. Not to mention clearcast lb's will give you 489 free mana.

Typically it ends up at about 30% (or less) of my healing done, with Nourish and Wild Growth hitting > 30% or even as much as 40%.<BR/><BR/>I need to get on the PTR to test out everything and see it for myself, but I'm hoping this nerf isn't as bad in action as it seems.Corgiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943954469596201738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032107545250385399.post-89941457139212076282009-03-02T08:10:00.000-08:002009-03-02T08:10:00.000-08:00Averna and all my other lovely trees, this is my p...Averna and all my other lovely trees, this is my proposed healing rotation:<BR/><BR/>Step 1. Throw up one of each on the tank (I have talent 11 points in Balance for the necessary buffs and the 4-piece T7 bonus).: LB, Rejuv, Regrowth, WG.<BR/><BR/>Step 2. With the buffs to Nourish, Spam the crap out of it, hoping for a SoL proc.<BR/><BR/>Step 3. Refresh HoTs as needed one major change is that I will not be stacking or rolling LB. I plan to simply put one instance of it on the target to get the benefit for Nourish and then refresh it like I do Rejuv (reapply as soon as it expires).Pelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18431810352248980726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032107545250385399.post-5071849311145973212009-02-28T17:13:00.000-08:002009-02-28T17:13:00.000-08:00Well as a new sprout of a tree, I find myself lett...Well as a new sprout of a tree, I find myself letting Lifeblooms drop if focused on party or raid healing. I have been getting better however I think this type of spell mechanic will help me rather than hurt with the restored mana as well as stronger heal. It does bite that Blizzard is doing this to our most efficient heal but we Druids do know how to adjust. Looking forward to seeing some numbers on this and I appreciate you bringing this to light.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
