Legendarys needs revisiting as some have changed since last update.

Hey there! Could you tell me which ones in particular you think need revisiting? It makes it a lot easier for me to point it out to the writer rather than me just giving him a general "update this page" note.

Thanks in advance!

Aman'Thul's isn't situational anymore. It is actually ranking higher than Velen's which is largely considered our BiS (with the Tearstone nerfs).

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/statistics/11#class=Druid&spec=Restoration&metric=hps&combatantinfo=Legendaries&dataset=90&aggregate=amount

Aman'Thul's actually gains value in heroic and normal because damage intervals are less severe.

 

Our stat priorities are listed entirely wrong as well. I would recommend using RDSW (Resto Druid Stat Weights, a weakaura) to get your specific stat weighting live in game. Stats change based on what you're doing and at what difficult and with how many healers. Mastery will be devalued in LFR/normal because damage is a lot lower. In Mythic, where damage spikes are regular, Mastery and Crit seem to be valued a little higher than haste. That said, our stat weights are so close, if you prefer haste it won't really hurt you as much as say a Holy Pally who loves haste and hates crit.

CW is always the go to talent. Prosperity is bad.

For our Artifact Tree the route is sort of wrong. The new traits are good-ish, but Persistence 5/5 is absolutely our most important of the old traits. Persistence is our best relic trait by a significant margin. To have it listed at 4th is laughable.

There is an abundance (pun not intended) of actually theorycrafted, tested, and verified information on our class discord. I hate to sway people away from using icy-veins because they've done so well in the past, but it seems like most of the information here is either entirely incorrect or slightly off mark this expansion pack.

I'm not really in a position to actually comment/analyse the feedback you've given, since I'm not the writer of the guide, but - I'll pass this all on to the writer and reviewer and then forward back the reply that I get. We're always looking to improve our guides and update them to make sure they are of the highest quality, so I'm sure we can get this fixed if there are issues! :)

Thanks for reporting this!

Is it just me or does resto druid have the most unimpactful legendaries of all classes? Seems you can do well without any of them, this class is so powerful in Legion.

There are many other healers that can also do this, though - there are plenty of people topping healing rankings with single legendaries as Holy Paladin, for example. Legendaries are a big boost, but they aren't the be-all-end-all for healing in general. I think they are far more important for DPS specs.

On legendary shoulders (Aman'thul's), they are immensely powerful right now due to sinergy with Tier 19 four piece set (more ticks = more rejuv spreads with more ticks = positive sinergy loop), in Tier 20 they won't be as strong.

Resto druid / Discord community is really strong indeed, would suggest a possible shake up for the 7.2.5 revision, considering Serenity just died as a guild and I didn't see any news about Gamko for a while, is he still playing? Then again is Flurty still playing? Literally high end people quitting left and right in mass :(

As far as I am aware, I think both of them are, yeah!

Wondering if all mentions of Tranq in the Resto guide s/b updated to mention [Tranquil Mind] artifact trait that allows you to cast while moving? Such as on this page: https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/restoration-druid-pve-healing-rotation-cooldowns-abilities if not, no biggie  :-)

The current mentions apply to both scenarios from what I can see - what would you want to change? Just a mention of the trait?

We are currently in the process of updating our guides in preparation for the release of 7.2.5 - all questions about "What is better for 7.2.5, X or Y?" will be answered in our guide updates. Thanks for your patience while we get everything completed and good luck in the new patch!

I'm curious what caused the stat priorities to be updated on June 12th?  Why is Mastery #1 stat behind int for raid healing? I thought previously that high Mastery was only preferred for Mythic + and small group content where you have several hots rolling. Why the change now?  Really appreciate the insight - thanks!

Why the change now?

As far as I am aware, this was updated because of us swapping reviewers - it is now managed by Torty. There isn't a specific change in the 7.2.5 notes that caused this. Mastery won't always be your top priority and RDruids change stat weights constantly. There isn't really a bad stat for them.

It might be that your Mastery weight is considerably lower depending on current stat values - use the spreadsheet that Torty made to properly check this:

I'm not sure if this is an error with the tool tip in game or on WoWDB but Master of Shadows is only giving 500 Mastery/500 Avoidance.

If it's not an in game error, how much does this change the weighting of it?

It's a tooltip error - the weighting is done with live values.

With T20 set, why do you consider Prosperity bad? Lets compare Prosperity and Cenarion ward effects:

- Prosperity: Heal 849014 instantly, mana 30800, 27 sec cd and 2 charges, 2-piece bonus (cd reduced by up to 40% based on target hp), 4-piece bonus (increase efflorescence healing 200% for 10 sec)

- Cenarion Ward: Heal 855908 over 8 sec, mana 20240, 30 sec cd, adds 1 more button to actionbar.

I still don't see why would anyone not take Prosperity, it not only adds to our spot healing but also boosts our raid healing by big margin. Even without the tier bonus it has higher HPS value than CW. Mana isn't an issue with nearly half minute cd spells, but it heals 3 times as much as Regrowth if you need burst healing.

As far as I am aware, Prosperity becomes good when using T20 4-set (not just 2-set) or the Soul of the Archdruid legendary, which allows you to have Soul of the Forest.

On the stat page it say in both 1.1 raid and 1.2 mythic healing the Intelect is the last priority. Then 2.1 say it's the primary stats. I don't get it ?

In WoW, the primary stats are Strength, Intellect and Agility. Secondary stats are Critical Strike, Haste, Mastery, Versatility. Tertiary stats are Speed, Indestructible, Leech, etc.

It's just a term used to categorise stats.

I didn't wade through all the comments, but I think it's worth a mention on the tier 4 talents that if you're using Sephuz's Secret, both Mighty Bash and Mass Entanglement seem to proc it, while I believe that Typhoon does not.

Thanks, it's more clear. I expected it was a priority term.

No problem. It can be a bit confusing, but it's the terminology that blizzard use for the stats!

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
