I use mine often with my Templar. I have the death save macroed with my single target emergency reactive.

I find it to be VERY helpful in some situations.

So adding just a little to this discussion...and I find it interesting that no one has said they DON'T use them...

I was told tonight by a brigand that 'Druid DI's don't work..I read it on Flames".

Lolz.

Laalon

Refer them to this thread then....and tell them they're retarded.

I use it all the time, heck early days VP it was part of our strat to use my group version on some mobs :P

However, before I started to raid with my warden I hardly ever used it at all... maybe because that was several years ago, but oh well

mafoe

I could /wrist each time somebody reminds me of the awful, horrible, disgusting, perverse, fuckingshitbadfuckfuck emergency heal clerics get compared to shamans or even druids. :-(

O M G how can someone not use these?

I didn't used to think the DI's worked or as was pointed out earlier that it would just prolong the agony. That being said they have become a very important part of my bag of tricks and can definitely sometimes save the day.

I have played my warden for about 3 years now. Before I started really getting into raids I rarely found a use for DI because at the point that a group tank was that low it was usually a bad pull or a bad group and it would only have prolonged the agony.

Raiding now however I do use it all the time and it has saved the day several times. Sometimes that extra chance or two it gives has been enough to kill a mob vs wiping to it. As I am in the MT group 99% of the time I can't imagine raiding without it especially with how much is at stake with some of the longer fights like Druushk and Nexona that no one wants to do more then once an instance.

/nod...there was a time after the combat revamp where they did 'work', technically. The problem was the heal amount when the DI proc'd was so small that it didn't make much difference. You saved someone from death only for them to come back with 300 HP and get slammed for 1500 (for example) - therefore 2 deaths, therefore that person beating the crap out of you for making them have a bigger repair bill than was called for.

That was fixed, and the heal, wis buff and regen ticks on both single target and Tunare's Watch were made to be for decent amounts. That, plus 2 chances at a trigger really do make them pretty nice - even for just grouping. With some fast work, even a bad pull in an instance can be pulled out of the fire by judicious use of both of these.

I agree, in raids, they really come in handy. Casting these in any situation is not Rocket Science, but you do have to know what they are for..what they do and can't do. For example, you can't cast one and not heal like mad behind it. It's going to make a save (hopefully), but it's not a magic heal.

I often feedback that it would be nice for Tunare's Watch to either scale with us, like our emergency heals, or be given a T8 upgrade like Wolves, the Tree and Spirit of the Bat were. Also, I think even with AA the 50% faster reuse time is borked on Nature's Reprieve.

Oh well

Vot, a death intervention proc'ing costs 10% armor?
