Swiftmend: an analysis

[VoiceMan]

Well, Fazuul doesn't have anywhere near +500 healing...it's less than half that at +213 in his normal ZG gear. However, Fazuul does have Rank 11 Rejuv, which ticks for 324 in said gear. As a result, I use rejuv alot more than I used to. I don't really use Regrowth a ton, unless I'm trying to heal multiple targets taking damage at the same time. In that case, stacking a Regrowth and a Rejuv on someone will usually allow me enough time to heal a couple of other folks before I need to go back to first target. Otherwise, if I'm main healing a MT on a fairly hard hitting boss, such as Mandokir in ZG, I try to keep Rejuv up, and I use rank 9 Healing Touch, as opposed to rank 10.

I still have mixed feelings about Swiftmend, but I will probably want to try it before I assume too much. I think Rank 11 Rejuv says it heals 1050 to 1056 over 12 seconds (trying to remember off the top of my head at work), so if it also takes into consideration my small +213 healing, to have the chance to turn that 1000+ healing points into an instant heal, versus the HoT, and have the chance to do it every 15 seconds...I can see it being a very handy little tool, especially in situations where the tank isn't geared quite up to snuff, or for keeping mages alive in AoE situation. I usually like to see priests and their flash heals and shields stay on the mages in AoE situations than a druid, but I can see Swiftmend, if used properly with a good HoT spell can be helpful in that regard too. Sounds interesting, and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
