Quote:You're referring to decursing/depoisoning? I think the tree form kills those spells on purpose, similar to how it kills Healing Touch. The tree looks like it is meant to be a different healing role, not just a mo'better-resto. With the tree, the new version of lifebloom, allowing HoTs to stack, and the massive increase in player survivability, I think Blizzard is trying to make it effective to heal in a strategic and less reactive manner.
It's not just those. You're missing out on:
Healing Touch
Remove Curse
Abolish Poison / Cleanse Poison
Innervate
Reincarnate
Tell me, how "mana efficient" is this form going to be when you need to shift out and back in just to Innervate and Res, two mainstays of the druid healer.
And the increase in player survivability -> are we sure that will carry over to raids? Excuse me if I'm doubtful, but there's two ways to make healing a challenge: spike damage and high enough DPS that mana efficiency becomes a big issue. Are you so sure Blizzard is removing the spike damage, which is necessary to allow HoTs to become non-risky mainstays for healing?
Then there's the 50% slow on top of that. Again, are you so sure Blizzard is going to kill one challenge of raiding - mobility - just to make this tree form work?
The more I think about this talent the more I think it's a complete waste, which would make for the two trees I'm specialized in the most (Rogue - Combat and Druid - Resto) both subpar for the expansion.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
