I wish you could turn off the illusion. More so in groups, Illusionist friend hates this spell because he says it blocks his view.

Most of my groups hate the stupid tree sprouting out of their heads as well. Off subject question.

Caster healing- I know some healers just prefer to let casters that draw stupid aggro die. I always look at it as a challenge to see if I can keep them alive. I enjoy caster groups anyway since it's normally more intense healing and keeps you nice and busy. What about you all? Let the silly caster die or try to keep them up?

from my position u need to heal them...ill lose more dps rezzing, rebuffing then healing them to full neways than i would have just healing them in the first place.

I take pride in being able to keep everyone up. Warlock friend makes it a point to let me know I'm one of the few he relies on to push his abilities and not worry about dying. It is the real strength of the druid that we can quickly switch and heal. When i play my Mystic and someone snags aggro, I point out I'm not on Panthera so be careful. I can't take a player from red to green like I can on the Fury.

I soooo agree. Some raid leaders say to let them die, but to me that's just wasting a rez timer that can be used possibly minutes later on someone else. Unless they get one-shotted, I'm all over them trying to keep their repair bill down.

Feral Potence, already having hibernate up, and a quick spot heal can save an ass. ALSO there is the AA line that stuns the mage but adds a ton of stats. If you have this, it can save lives!!

Ideally, healers really should not be rezzing in raids if they can help it. They have vital necessity for healing, debuffing, and doing dps if applicable, and if they do not have a troubie or illusionist then god help them with power regen. Rezzes can be taken over easily by dirges, necros, and pallies if in the raid set up.

I agree fully with keeping them up. I love having warlocks in group. And btw druids that say feral potence isn't worth it on casters is crazy. Sure it's not a huge heal but it saves them most of the time if you have the right other heals up to aid it.

And Animal Form ftw. The more I use it the more I enjoy it. Specially for certian fights. We had a rough rumbler fight one night when I was in MT group (since no warden was on,not that I mind MT group) Anyway was able to easily use that to get all of us in MT group full. Slowly working on getting all the mages and healers in my guild used to asking for it and the effects of it and such.

Even without a power regen in group I don't have to much trouble on power...I'm just much more attentive to my clickys and what particular gear I have on in those situations. Love stuff that procs power on beneficial spells and hostile. As long as I'm careful I can pretty much keep healing and debuff/dpsing/curing constantly. Although I much, much, much prefer having the power regen in group of course.

I really adore the amount of healing that furies can pump out in tense situations. It's one of my favorite aspects of the class. That and no matter what the situation we can always find something to keep ourselves busy,having fun and helping out the raid.

Ideally, you're right. However....many nights we raid there are few if any non-healer rezzers around, and as I'm pretty quick on my rez buttons, I'm usually on it. Some nights are healer-heavy, others have damn few of us to go around. I play by ear.

The druid, no. I won't rez in combat. I am toying with the idea of respecing the Mystic's rez abilities. Being in off-tank groups most of the time, seems like it would be a good fit and the other AA's (besides buffs) are crap.

The whole battle priest thing with a melee wielding chain wearer just doesn't appeal.
