I’ve had a couple of days to play around with the changes in patch 3.0. Here are a few of my intial impressions:

Loving:



Pet & mount changes:
Thank goodness..
  • Our OOC rez
  • My new horns
  • Mixology
  • Achievements
  • Omen of Clarity
  • Wild Growth
  • Super fast raid clears
  • My Bloodsail Admiral title
  • Spell damage
  • No cooldown on Hurricane
  • No snare on tree form
  • My new pet and mount!
  • Making $$$$$ on herbs
  • Buffing the entire raid with one cast
  • 70 bag slots freed up
  • NS+HT, buffing & decursing in tree
 
Not loving quite so much:  
  • Potion Sickness and one health stone
  • No cooldown showing on potions – hard to get used to
  • Wild Growth targetting Greater Fire Elementals >_<
  • Struggling to keep up with other healers’ spam healing, feeling sad :( Trying to stay positive, things will change.
  • Healing without my normal mods – getting there though!
  • Lag, lag, lag. I’m hoping it will clear up over the next couple of days, because it’s awful at the moment.

So far, I’m pretty happy. A couple of my mods are a little broken, but as long as I have Grid, Pitbull, Bindpad and GridStatusLifebloom, I’m fine – I can just turn everything else off. I’ve gone from being at the top of the meters to near the bottom, but it’s impossible to keep up with the raid healers (priests in particular) with all of their buffs. Staying as positive as I can, I know that things aren’t very balanced at the moment, and once we head to level 80 our gear won’t be as good, mana will be more of an issue, and healing will have to be smarter.

I can’t wait to get started on the way to 80!
