I have been playing a Fury since launch, as an alt, not a main. I don't raid with him much unless my guild is lacking healers, but I can hold my own healing mage groups. I think that fixing druids is a two pronged approach. 1) change HoTs to how they mentioned at fanfair by having the heal build if the target is at 100% health. That will help with spike damage and will actually require a lot of precision in terms of timing, but it won't help with one shot deaths. Maybe instead of having it build up the healing amount, it builds up a damage absorption buff that goes away when the HoT is over. 2) give druids better buffs. Furies should get better HP buffs, Wardens should get better crit mit buffs (group wide instead of single target). Also, I think Furies should take their rightful place in the mage group by giving them something that actually helps DPS, such as crit bonus, base damage, casting speed for hostile spells, etc.

So you're saying other healers wait until their groupmates are taking damage before they start casting?

Every healer I know chain casts with impunity to trigger various proc's on heal. Yours wait until people in the group took damage?

I don't understand if this was serious or meant as a joke. I'm going to go ahead and assume he was serious because it makes me smile.

heres another thought u need to consider.

most overpowered healer items on a duoable mob that shammys and clerics can wear and there is no druid counterpart

make a druid counterpart... and watch the magic happen... who wants to bet me ... anyone?

edit.. thinking about it more.. yes they need hp buffs and cure speed and id take em..

2nd edit.. not trying to be a but... but, your talking class balance.. as a whole ... if you will.. please consider.. what high and low end gear would do to said changes.

the mob that drops the reh IS duoable (dreadlord d'somni in soh, first named on the right side)...ive done it before. it's a long fight but DEFINITELY duoable
