"How much haste do druids need?" Explained!!!

[glancealot]

for example, i have 12.75% haste on my druid, this enables me to have 5 rejuvenation ticks instead of 4, 11 Lifebloom ticks instead of 10, and 10 moonfire/insect swarm ticks instead of 9.

12.75% haste also increases my rejuvenation HoT duration to around 13 seconds, which is MORE than the base 12 seconds, this is counter-intuitive as we generally assume that haste "decreases" the duration of a spell.

i would say if you can't hit 5%(first breakpoint) then just ignore haste all together. if you can hit around 9%, then sacrifice some stats to hit 12.5% because 5 rejuvenation ticks is a huge upgrade from 4 ticks.

get 15% and you will c the difference
lifebloom ticks ftw, so get 15% haste and go full resil, you can check out my armory also

ooooshi bro!
i just noticed, you have to change a lot of gear rofl.
feral set? wtf, double pvp trink? what for??? resil not worth the spirit proc + passive int like this
kick the mage from your team and get smth skillcapped instead for real

this thread isn't about my gears, it is about how much haste a druid should aim for.

i believe 12.5% is enough. 15% is overkill.

regarding my gears: i am using 2 pc T5 (losing a lot of stats because of it), have no JC (because i am broke), so i have to play around with my gears to keep my 12.5% haste while maximizing resil. so a lot of my gear choices might not make sense to you, but i like my set-up. i have this sitting in my backpack, will put it on a goldenstaff once i have a spare.

like i said in OP, if you can't hit 5%(first breakpoint) then just ignore haste all together.

but do you think this is an upgrade to 2 pc T6? 2 sec less CD is really negligible imo.

I mostly use t6 2piece to get over 5% haste. and ye, the 2 seconds matter. try it out yourself

i tried it out, i swift-mend whenever possible but i couldn't really notice any significant difference, i would say 40 resil is better but stupid Naturewarden's Treads won't drop for me.

and btw 12.5% haste is 198 haste rating. imo all resto should aim for that.

Manaki @ Silvermoon - Game Guide - World of Warcraft - i play with just over 7% and i seem to be doing alright. It's down to preference. I pref the 2 set t6 for less cd so i can do quite a large instant heal which druids lack. I don't find it particularly hard keeping myself up, however if i'm in arena unless my partner is a tanking meatwall beast with huge amounts of resilience for my hots to take effect i find they can die really fast at times!
But this isn't about gear sets - it's about haste - and i don't think it's overly important for a 70 druid in pvp.

2 more rejuv ticks is nothing
but 2 more lifeboom ticks make sence
so when you have 12.5 haste why not to cap it to 15% for your main heal spell?
there is no difference between 40 or 42% resil, but there is a BIG difference between 12.5 and 15% haste
you just have to try it and you will never come back to 12.5

i think my resto gear is totaly Best in Slot at all

(epic resil trink and maybe jc for more res and 23 haste cloak chant > 20 res get instead 20 haste one,
but i like my mana procs )

It's good you're only thinking isn't it?

 

[Sharlindra]

disprove my gear.
