We’re all still waiting to find out things like range, whether it’s a “smart heal” (chooses someone low on HP), and of course whether it jumps OFF the original target, or just starts up a second Rejuv on the new target.

Blizzard hasn’t given any updates or clarified the set bonus wording yet.

Do you know how rejuv will jump (on ppl in set range or the person with lowest HP) or you are just speculating? I never ever healed with rotation but as the situation requires so depending on the rules used for jumping for me it will be or bonus or simply nothing.

Keeva remember that one attempt on mimiron where i destroyed healing due to rejuv blanketing back in like week one of ulduar… well i think blizzard just got your ticket and they are nerfing it because of me = ‘ (

Perhaps this is a move away from our focus on four set bonus. If you look at the two set bonuses, they all seem remarkable and excellent. If you look at the all the four piece, they’re kind of lack luster and “eh.” Perhaps Blizz is wanting us to move away from the four piece tier reliance and more on other pieces of gear.

If they do decide to continue somehow with this wonky trophy idea, it might make sense.

oops sorry, yes that was in response to Thetree

Yeah I feel the same, its a bit depressing hearing we’re getting another “nerf” but I don’t generally feel the overall impact when it ends up being released or want to play an alternative healing class because of it.

The long winded point I was trying to make above was that until we look start looking sucky on meters we aren’t going to get anything but nerfs Lath´s last blog ..The Answer is 779

Not sure where you’re going with that Lath.. I don’t know what you mean. Or were you responding to Thetree?

Personally, nerfs never worry me too much. I have my odd rant sessions when they nerf things (like the LB nerf) but I soon accept things and adapt. I’ve never really felt hard done-by as a druid, other than in patch 3 when priests were spamming COH and I couldn’t get a heal in edgewise. Other than that, none of the nerfs have hurt me in any kind of obvious or noticeable way.

I just take it all in my stride, and often barely notice a difference. Unless of course we have to adjust our play style to rearrange our favoured spells.. but even that only takes a raid or two to get into a new rhythm.

I’m generally pretty laid-back when it comes to nerfs.

Maybe my guild is different, but with every round of nerfs done to resto druids, it just doesn’t matter within a week or 2 of a new patch myself and the other tree in our raid end up right back on top of the healing meters. The other healers are always joking about how OP we are. These healers are good, very good its just that in terms of effective healing numbers druid mechanics always come out looking good.

While I’m sure this isn’t the only reason, you can’t tell me that if resto druids in most raiding guilds are outshining all other healers on meters in every fight, that Blizzard isn’t paying close attention to that and trying to even out the playing field.

Maybe I’m completely off field on this, I would be interested if other people have a different view of things.

Agreed – that’s why I think it will be worse for 10 man raiders than 25s – at least in 25s there will be 10 or so people that definitely don’t have your Rejuv, and MIGHT value a free one.

In my 10 mans, everyone will probably already have a Rejuv on them, so at best it’s a free refresh, but it will likely clip my own Rejuv (which means the “freebie” isn’t so great after all) and mess up my rotation, to boot.

As is, without further information, I won’t be racing to get 4pc.

So what happens if it jumps to a person who has it already just before the current rejuv is about to tick, now we just lost a tick of a perfectly good rejuv.

I Hate Blizzard, since the release of WOTLK they have been nerfing us in every way. This is just another Nerf disguised as a bonus.

They change our hots so that they are not as powerful, well that’s ok because I like to do a bit of direct healing, but with all the mana nerfs they have had so far its made direct healing more difficult.

Please blizzard, do go on a spoil a perfectly good game for me!!!!
