Making 19 resto drood, share your thoughts

After beeing stuck in Icc 25 hc for a long time and having way to much gold i decided to come back to the twinking community after i left the 29 bracet for a year ago.



So i wanted try somthing new this time and go with a 19 resto druid.



I made a gear profile to see how i wanted him.



Profiler - Wowhead



Going with 225 mining and herb ofc.



Im a bit unsure how i should balance the mp5 with mana.



Also want to know where the most active bg for 19 twinks are on EU atm.
 
Looks quite solid, I'd go with Spidersilk Drape tho, maybe the WG staff with 22 int as well (to get hit capped)
 
mp5 is far superior to mana in my experience. I roll with 16 mp5 while casting but <1600 mana in arena. I very rarely oom. I usually value 1mp5=2.4int, the only place where i would not pick up mp5 is with rings of concentration and the cape of the elder, the trade off is too poor.



Your shoulders should be preened ironfeather, but if you dont have them on your server for whatever reason then the ones you have are perfectly fine. I would also recommend using Dignified Headmasters Charge instead of the mace for your 22int weapon, the staff has more stats and for a healer int > stam on a starter weapon. I do have a 22int mace for 5v5 arena sets and PuG FCing though.



As the others said you need to change your cloak. Battle Healer is just poor, Spidersilk or Tumultuous Cloak of the Sorcerer are both superior. If you are going for hit rating, in arena its nice, not so usful i find as a defensive healer in WSG, use spidersilk, otherwise use sorcerer. Also i would strongly advise changing your cloak enchant, 15 nature resistance is very useful against shamans who will melt your face with purge and windshear if you're not careful.



I would drop one AGM for insignia, being hibernated/feared/sapped etc will put your team at a lot of risk if you are unable to heal for 8 seconds or so, much more useful than an extra 12 stamina. In most situations i run with just over 1k-1.1k hp and it is enough in most situations. On a similar note i use Aquarius Belt in arena and situations where i get a lot of unwanted attention, the extra cooldown is very useful and with the amount of mp5 and stam you have you wont really miss the stats. Also the hit rating is nice for arena and the crit is semi useful in arena too.



If you can pick up Seal of Wrynn, but if you cant dont worry too much sylvanas is fine.



Your spec is alittle dubious too. Personally i love moonglow, its one of my favorite talents availible to druids, however you have to give up subtlety for it which is just far too useful for the spec to be viable. Also genesis is crap. No point taking it, it will add about 3.5 healing to each tick of your hots at most. If you are going to go balance i would recommend putting your first 5 filler points in Starlight Wrath, not terribly useful for a defensive healer in WSG, but in arena and duels it is very useful, it will significantly increase your dmg output, and wrath is dirt cheap and does enough dmg to make it worth while to throw out a few wraths. 8/0/2 is my favorite Druid spec, however the most functional resto spec imo is 0/0/10, 3natures focus, 2 imp motw, 3 subtlety, 2 natural shapeshifter. This will increase your resistance to dispellers significantly and imp motw and natural shapeshifter will give you some mana efficiency to make up for not having moonglow. This is better than 8/0/2 from a resto PoV because resistance to purgers is vital and difficult to pick up, whereas mana can be found in many places.



Glyph of Rejuv is good, for a minor glyph MOTW is the only contender, thorns doesnt cut the mustard and dash is worthless.



I know this seems like a massive wall of text, but your druid is essentially good :) I hope you have fun with it.
 
Thanks for a very informative and good post Kore.



I have been making the twink on a hobby basis when i have been bored and its just some small twists that is needed before i xfer him to a more active twink bg.



Hes looking like this atm.

just one thing, ur boots enchant. i kno a lot of druids and shaman's prefer not to have minor speed, but u can NOT use ur travel forms indoors, and indoor's is where u are going to spend a lot these days if u are going to hunt EFC or FC. also, the only way to save ur ass against hunters is to get inside cuz there is an awsome amout of LoS there. would be sucking if u are slow inside. the bases because midfield activity has kinda dies these days.

further on, the twink looks nice, not sure hordes can get the aquatic belt as well, but it does result into a life saver to me, its a heal with a short CD considering on how often u need it(i use it like 4 times every BG) and it gives a lot of hit rating.

Horde can get aquarius belt.



Also, the 9% speed indoors is not vital i find. Your snare immunity is enough of a speed boost, and a good FC will not spend much time indoors, and he wont be moving faster than 100% speed anyway (debuffed), so he cant outrun you. I never lose my FC due to not having minor speed. Running out of health is much more often an issue.
