Resto v. Guardian

[Moofun]

I'm curious, for those who have tested the MoP beta, is resto still the go-to FC spec? With travel form's feral charge, it seems like disentanglement may not be as important, compared to the stamina buff, and bear hug could be a useful ability while holding in the FR, just interested in hearing people's opinions about it.

iirc disentanglement is now baseline?

travel form at mount speed > a terribly designed blink

Resto id the best fc in bracket, but Rshamm is the best healer's, rdruid, is ok healing

download ptr for free and test it

Seeing how spells and ranged(hunter) abilities can be dodged now, I think it's debatable if guardian is better than resto plus guardian has a stun now.


I guess we'll wait and see.

 

[epicf2p]

resto for sure

 

[Wuts]

hard to say, looks like it's leaning towards resto still though.

resto for pugs but maybe if you had a dedicated healer running with you perhaps a resto druid you could make the argument that because of the more mitigation guardian would be better. the truth of the patter is that PUG in fact stands for Pretty Ugly Group so chances are you wont have the healer and resto will be better.

 

[Worgslarg]

If you have a Rshamm/Hpally/Dprist, go guardian(trumps resto by a tiny bit with pocket healer)
if not, resto is still best

Guardian for premades. Resto for pugging

This^^
Although guard in premades with a rshamm/hpally, is only marginally better then resto in premade w/o heals
2X heals, may be better, due to 3-4 heals being able to take 10 dps, and live

 

[Snowjobs]

if you have the dodge and all the crap from guardian with heals . id say you will be pretty damn hard to kill unless a couple balance druids from bwl drop in to say hi . then ur just fucked.

Only ranged attacks can be dodged, not spells afaik.

I'd definitely go Guardian for premades with the way things are looking.
