Druid healing
Updated Power Auras exports
Dec 21st
Here are my updated Power Auras exports for Cataclysm. The import strings are at the bottom of this post.
Obviously my taste in graphics may be different to yours, so feel free to change the look of the auras, but this will give you the code to make them show up. Tweak as desired.
How to keep Lifebloom on two targets (video)
Dec 15th
I can roll Lifebloom on two people for an entire fight. Did you know that you could do this?
I touched on this briefly in my last article, but there’s still a lot of confusion and people saying, “But I thought you could only put Lifebloom on one person now?”
Allow me to explain! [...]
85 Dungeons: thoughts and tips on healing them
Dec 13th
I’ve ventured into a few 5 mans now. Wow, they’re tough, aren’t they? At first I was a bit annoyed, because some of them seemed to be a bit unforgiving; having to heal the tank but also bring the group up, without any real potent group heal.. it seemed like treading water at best, and floundering at worst. Regrowth is good for saving someone, but costs so much. Nourish is too slow for an emergency heal, Rejuv is slow to tick and costs a lot, Wild Growth and Efflorescence are weak – I really feel as though we are missing something from our raid healing toolbox.
It’s tough, but I’m enjoying rising to the challenge, I have to say.
So – here are a few tips for healing 5 mans as a resto druid. [...]
(some) Lowbie tanks: god’s gift to WoW
Dec 6th
Doing some lowbie instances with my boyfriend last night; he is DPS, I am healing (druid #8, heehee).
Wailing Caverns pops up. OK, cool, I’m curious to see what’s changed. Um, has anything changed, as far as the layout goes? It seemed the same to me.
Anyway, the warrior tank that we had wasn’t doing so great, he had troubles holding mobs, but I put that down to the fact that the enhance shammy was in BOA gear. He also didn’t know his way around WC at all, so I figured he was a new player, so I went easy on him. [...]
More thoughts on Efflorescence
Nov 11th
I kept revising my original post and it was getting a bit silly – I can’t keep adding onto it.
I added a part on the end talking about my reasoning for being upset. But I just had a little more that I wanted to say – and rather than tack it onto a post from yesterday, I’ll just quickly put it here.
Here’s the new tree of life model
Oct 13th
The new druid tree of life model has been floating around for about a week now, but without any skins, and no confirmation that it was legit, so I actually showed some restraint and didn’t post or Tweet it. Here it is. [...]
Resto druid specs for 4.0 – some options
Oct 13th
Just as a followup on my 4.0 guide, I’ve decided to lay out some options for 4.0 resto specs. [...]
How to use Efflorescence in 4.0
Oct 4th
I want to show you why Efflorescence is good, and give you some ideas for how to use it to your advantage in Patch 4.0 – when we get our shiny new talent trees.
I thought perhaps the best way would be to use some examples to show how cool it would be to have Efflorescence in particular situations. I think once you get thinking about its potential uses, you’ll realise how nifty this spell can be. [...]
Guide: Druid healing in 4.0
Sep 30th
I’ve put together a guide for resto druid healing in Patch 4.0. MMO-Champion has just announced a prediction of this coming reset, or the one after – nice timing!
The information is, of course, subject to change – resto druids are still a work in progress and the talents, abilities and strategies could change overnight. If this happens, I will endeavour to edit the guide and rearrange the strategies as required. [...]

My name is Emma and I live in Australia. I’ve been gaming on and off since I was about 11. I won’t tell you exactly how long ago that was, let’s just say long enough.
