i just started leveling my druid to 110 and came across this guide it was helpful in everyway great detail thanks alot mate keep up the great work, liked and subbed;-)
Very nice in-depth guide. I am going to watch this again once my Druid dings 110. A small tip: If you want to get more people watching your videos, I think you might want to reduce the length of your videos, since most people only want to spend around 10-15 minutes on a guide. I liked your video though :)
TDesting thanks alot man, appreciate it, yeah i really tried to make it as short as possible but there was so much to cover :/ thanks though ill try keep it under 10 in the future!
I'm almost a year late in watching this, but the info is still insanely useful. I didn't mind the mouth noises either lol, it's usually unavoidable unless you have a pop filter thingy. Love the guide and your personality, thanks for making this video.
LamixGaming appreciate the kind words, unfortunately I stopped playing as the pvp was getting abit too plain for me, I've moved over to elder scrolls online 🖒 thanks for the support
lol 2.6k rated pvp was like ehh too easy :P Would you come back to WoW if the upcoming expansion spices up the pvp? Either way I wish you good in whatever you decide to do (I sound like a father)
bro good guides i just rolled druid for the first time and i am dying through all my cds and bear form from melee ,i think its because my gear though you def need more subs man
Nicholas Martinez vs melee? if so it depends alot on your team mates, communicating can they cc the dps off you or do you need to skin and use a cd to live until they can, sometimes its best to stay bear form instead of applying hots until they can
Lonedrood i'm testing wild charge, and i find it so fun and so usefull why : because you have 15 sec CD, and as a travel form you can jump 20 metres and you have enough speed to run as beast teleport with a same distance and 30 sec cooldown and as i bear form you can charge the heal to bach him this is my opinion and thank you for yoir videos keep what you doing, you do a good job :)
Really nice in depth quality guide, but I've noticed in arenas that ill hav my target fully hotted and spamming regrowth and my teammates still tend to go down pretty quick
Hey dude, Yeah a big problem with druids this expansion is we have trouble topping targets, it's really important we communicate with our partners, if we've got no ironbark or swiftmend/overgrowths for them we need to tell them to kite or line of sight with you or atleast make them use one of there cds, you should never put yourself in the situation where you're out of ironbark/swiftmends and your partner is still mid map tanking damage, its important to tell him you've got nothing for him and for him to kite for the next 15-20 seconds until you can top him, it also may be a good time to clone the dps to save 50% of the incoming damage or even use this time to drop a defensive vortex to help your team mate kite, hope this helps!
I struggle vs unholy deathknights the most, i think there damage and abilities counter resto druids the most out of any specc and enhance shamans are fine, the only times i'll be in trouble vs enhance shamans are if a healer is spam purging me and im being perma slowed by a rogue or frost dk with an enhance shaman on me, apart from that i think there ok if you save ironbark for blood lust, stay in bear and only apply hots when three using globals to purge, it's important to prioritize lifeblooms when reapplying hots for the dispel heal also :)
thanks alot! I'd be happy to tell you my keybinds but i'm pretty sure most people would find them really uncomfortable as it's whatever you're comfortable with as best adapting to ^^
Great vid il make sure to sub. Had a question about the swiftment soul of the forest build. It was really strong before they needed it. I see most .druids on the 3s latter not running it. What do u think is best in 3v3? I play at 2500mmr in 2s but only 2.2 in 3s trying to get better.
Matt Smith hey dude, i still play soul build alot but lately in legion all the comps have some sort of offensive dispeller and in legion as a rdruid its so easy to fall behind with healing so id go ward build most of the time with anything with an enhance, sp, or mage and any dispeller at all in 2s!
Hey Bro, Returning wow player since last xpac, just got my toon to 110 yesterday and getting some pvp in, almost 12 in pvp talents :P, Hey man much appreciated for this guide, i see people on leader boards rolling abundance and cultivation and i cannot seem to get it into my play style, soul of the forest just feels better to me. And as i am learning as i go and watching this video i also notcied you have chapters set in the descrpition man, much appreciated, going to like and subscribe just for that. Hey if i can Btag add ya lemme know so i can get some info on the fly but no worries if not. CHeers man
good stuff mate! Hey any good tips against shadowcleave comps? especially against feral/shadow or shadow affli. I have no idea how to beat those. I spec defender of the weak clone fortified bark early spring germination cultivation stonebark cenarion ward. Am i doing it right? we just get rekt every time at 2k rating, i'm not sure if it's just my healing or i just need to cc more to win, or if i'm supposed to dispel in cd and take the fear up
Gianni Banane i specc soul of the forest and double swiftmend vs drainer teams, also renewal, i dont even try and cast clones vs drainer comps as it only takes one lockout to fall behind, i prioritize myself with dispels and shift into bear whenever im not healing for my trait "mark of shifting" which heals 1% of ur hp per 3 secs, in bear its more healing obviously, so i play really defensive and vim and vigor and just line the lock all game, ill only ever dispel if my target has atleast 2 rejuves and a bloom up and once i dispel i line everything, go bear and get the 1% hp heals while im silenced, also depends on the comp your playing, caster comps will struggle with drainer comps naturally, your dps need to be going feral everytime the feral comes behind the pillar to bleed you up, it provides good kill chances by forcing the feral behind pillars with you to get his bleeds up.. also make sure your team shuts down the lock whenever you dispel, as that stops some of the dmg while your ua silenced and stops you from falling behind, always tell your dps to save interrupts for this, thats all i can think of.. hope that helps!
Great vid. still trying to figure out when it's more beneficial to go CW + Cultivation over Swiftmend (prosperity?) +Soul of the forest. I've watched a bunch of your videos but can't seem to place a common denominator on when you use CW + cultivation vs certain comps. is it only good against rot comps and dispel comps? or am i missing something?
Maddison Short healers got flatout intellect buffs and everyone got health buffs which means cultivation proccing slightly higher/sooner, I can't think of the last time I played soul to be honest, another reason not to is purge mana cost got buffed so they can spam it alot more ☺
Very complete guide, thanks man. One question why did you talk about stats priority ? I thought that ilvl is the only thing that matters in arena since legion, i'm even playing with agility trinket to make the ilvl higher (around 2k mmr) ] is that a mistake ?
Im a 2.6 rdruid in wod and i just got back this expansion , and this its very helpfull and just have 1 question , i love to play rmd but adaptation seems to be bad against comps that can one shot you with no trinket , will you still pick this talents or not? thanks alot and this guide its amazing , sorry for bad english not the best at it ! cheers
Hey man :) Yeah maybe for low tier and random bgs that could work sure, but i prefer two swiftmends and the fortified bark is a big deal even in low end bgs/rbgs, playing nourish/abundance still requires alot of casting and i really dont think you'd be able to cast that much vs your average players, that's just my opinion, i'd rather stick to high burst instant healing rather than high maintained burst casted healing though! ^^
Solid points. If you look at all the Meta druids right now they're all running Cenarion Ward and Cultivation.. What would you consider the absolute best talent setup for RBGs. Normal talents and Honor talents. If you could just script a quick list in reply, I would be forever grateful. Thanks
wardeagle1015 yeah for sure dude, for rbgs the best baseline specc is definitely ward and cultivation since target calls are always single target and every team runs high dispellers making double swiftmend and soul of the forest a waste
So in 3v3 you definitely still run with SoF and double mend? Even after the nerfs? I've also seen people now going to strictly Balance Affinity when Thick Hide got nerfed from 10 percent to 6 percent.. Thoughts?
Hey Lonedrood, i am also playing resto druid in team with affli Lock and DH 3vs3. We are just climbing 1,5k+ and are in trouble now, as the cleave combos are hard to outplay. They focus the wl most of the time making him unable to cast anything. He is using the portals like crazy but one jump and they are connected. I am always hotting him up using the 45% skin, artefical abilty and so on but it seems unable for me to keep him alive. Mostly its so hard that i can't even cc one of the targets to reduce the damage afraid of getting interrupted, so they can finish him off. In the end when the healing done appears i am like always 3-9m below their heal. Is it cause druid is a bad single target healer? or am i just doing something wrong?
David Plistiev i think druid in general is a really hard single target healer and the comp youre playing isnt the best as the dh has no peels except a stun, the only thing i can suggest is trying to communicate with vortex, stun and howling fears to five yourswlf windows to get ua's out, sometimes it's best just to let the dh cleave both dps down while youre at max range, make sure your dh is imprisoning the healer when you land stuns,howls, vortexs so they cany dispel asap and thorns might help but if you could replace the dh with a warrior, ele, asa rogue or dk youl find it alot easier or replacing the lock wih a dk, rogue or warrior or even double dh is strong up to around 2.1k
Thank you for your fast reaction! Thank you my m8's are always furious why other healers are mostly higher than me, though i am pressing my fingers wound. We can try Rogue, Resto druid , DH as well . Last option would be Resto shaman, dk, wl . I think this combo is pretty good as the dk can create enough space for the wl's ua's, and nuke in the importn moments, but we will just try it. I keep you up to date :D!
Hey dude, to get my party plates that big you go into settings->interface->raid profiles and check Use Raid-Style Party Frames and Keep Groups Together and at the bottom Frame Height and Frame Width to tall and wide setting
I've been playing druid for years, ( i didnt play in MoP or WoD), and i've always tried so hard in arena, which is quite embarrasing considering i only got to about 1600 rating. I'm a clicker so, i dont use macros and i struggle alot with targeting. I just never got into it, and i never knew it was so important.. anyways now im stuck at even lower rating, i just get mowed down by melee combos. I cannot survive DH for the life of me. Maybe pvp just isn't for me >.> but i am trying to improve
Cat Catness hey thanks for checking out my guide! my only advice would be to learn keybinds, you will lose alot of games at first by pressing the wrong keys or forgettong what keys to press but after 1-2 months youl learn them and it will be the best improvement youl see i promise, even if you bind 1 ability a day starting from your most used abilities i.e bear form or rejuve, good luck!
only for the fun factor but i'd still go bash if you were serious about winning, typhoon is only good in few situations vs bashing healers or dps for peels
/cast !Bear Form and the other macros dont seem to be working in legion. i noticed this at the start and my game play is a little weaker because of it. Are u also experiencing this?
Really? Ya I have had those macros for years but they just don't work in legion for me. I know that they are right just shifts me back into human form on the second press. Kills me cause I spam bear for a stun and it takes me out after I'm stunned.
Gibea Caldwell hey dude, it's not worth using in 99% of the situations unless it's with the healing touch build which I went over in a previous video ☺ (nice profile pic! 👌 😁)
Hey dude, it 100% is still applicable to 7.1.5 :) only things that changed really is renewal on a lower cd and displacer beast 30sec cd to 40 sec cd ^^
I'm confused you mentioned stat priority, does it matter ? I thought all stats were pretty determined for pvp ? not being a smart ass seriously asking lol
Trevor Maclean yeah they really dont matter in pvp :) its just incase you get one item with the same ilvl but different stats, just for world pvp really ^^
can you post me your macros for your focus targets in the video its very hard to read and type out ? if you can thanks mainly your focus bash macro along with the rootz macro your burst macro
Sure thing dude #showtooltip /cast [target=focus, exists] SPELL; SPELL; obviously replacing SPELL with the ability you'd want, this will cast it at your focus target and if you have no focus target it will cast at your main target, Also /focus bind helps to so you dont have to click to focus ^^
thanks i really wanted that rootz macro and focus bash macro you had with mix entangle thanks ill try to read the video text but its kinda hard a bit since small writing
nice got it working is thier any tips on healing in arena what to keep up i know you need rejuv 2 times then life bloom or life bloom then rej 2 times i was thinking of making my hot bar like lifebloom rej regrowth swiftmend wild growth efflorseence tranquil essence of ghanir overgrowth iron bark irrentvate etc any thoughts?
Yeah i'd prioritize rejuve,rejuve,lifebloom, then it all depends... 1. enough mana? regrowth into wild growth 2. not enough mana? or unsure if you will oom soon? regrowth into essence of ghanir then lifebloom also depends, maybe you can clone the dps so your heals can top your target and save you wasting a swiftmend or mana on regrowth spam etc
berkalin hey dude, theres 3 options when your being spam purged - 1. tell your dps to sit on the sham and slow him while you line of sight 2. burst the shaman to force him to play defensive 3. peel the dps for example disarm or blind the dps so you can catch up with hotting yourself, usually you should always be near a pillar and if the dps and rsham is chasing you soam purging then your dps isnt peeling very well, hope this helps!
All depends on your healing rotations, are you spamming regrowth too much to top targets instead of artifact etc, might be helpful to go over each spell and see the mana costs and think what you could use differently to top targets :)
skillfulactor09 i dont really have any combined heal macros or anything like that, each spell has its own bind for me, i only use focus, target, shift, cancelaura and mouseover macros
only stuff like /cancelaura form as sometimes if i shift into bear and want to shift out without waiting for a global cool down i will hit that macro to take me out of form instantly, for example... i could shift into travel form then get ice nova'd by a mage just before i go to bash him, i will then cancel form instead of waiting for my global to bash just so he cant create distance after the ice nova
Yeah it bothered me alot too, really sorry about that, it's my first time being vocal on a youtube video but appreciate you watching it either way mate
i just started leveling my druid to 110 and came across this guide it was helpful in everyway great detail thanks alot mate keep up the great work, liked and subbed;-)
David Bell thanks alot dude!
Recently switched from boomie to resto, never healed in pvp. Thanks for the thorough guide. Wish me luck!

Amberscorn Gaming apreciate that dude, thanks alot!

Very nice in-depth guide. I am going to watch this again once my Druid dings 110. A small tip: If you want to get more people watching your videos, I think you might want to reduce the length of your videos, since most people only want to spend around 10-15 minutes on a guide. I liked your video though :)

Im so happy I found your channel!! thank you for the awesome content! good luck
Ernesto Cortez thankyou!!
I'm almost a year late in watching this, but the info is still insanely useful. I didn't mind the mouth noises either lol, it's usually unavoidable unless you have a pop filter thingy.
Love the guide and your personality, thanks for making this video.
LamixGaming appreciate the kind words, unfortunately I stopped playing as the pvp was getting abit too plain for me, I've moved over to elder scrolls online 🖒 thanks for the support
lol 2.6k rated pvp was like ehh too easy :P
Would you come back to WoW if the upcoming expansion spices up the pvp?
Either way I wish you good in whatever you decide to do (I sound like a father)
LamixGaming haha well I'll be back for next expansion that's for sure, thanks dad! really appreciate it 💪

Nice dude, really glad it helped!
great guide ! keep up the good content. looking forward to following more of your videos !
appreciate the support, thanks man
i get wrecked as resto... it does not go as smooth as you haha
Nicholas Martinez haha best thing to do is just queue alot and after every game think how you could of played better eve if you win ^^
i feel i cant escape or heal through big melee damage even with hots on me
Nicholas Martinez vs melee? if so it depends alot on your team mates, communicating can they cc the dps off you or do you need to skin and use a cd to live until they can, sometimes its best to stay bear form instead of applying hots until they can
Thanks heaps man just started playing wow again and this guide helped explain a lot
awesome guide man , it helped a lot. thanks
Saulo Venturini really glad man, thanks for watching!
finally a guid i can use thanks man
Thanks for the guide man, keep up the good work!

great guide lone ! keep it up.
350z35th thanks man, appreciate it!
Lonedrood i'm testing wild charge, and i find it so fun and so usefull why : because you have 15 sec CD, and as a travel form you can jump 20 metres and you have enough speed to run as beast teleport with a same distance and 30 sec cooldown
and as i bear form you can charge the heal to bach him
this is my opinion and thank you for yoir videos keep what you doing, you do a good job :)
Rafik Zidane yeah i totally agree! displacer beast will be nerfed next patch so i will be going wild charge always!
Really nice in depth quality guide, but I've noticed in arenas that ill hav my target fully hotted and spamming regrowth and my teammates still tend to go down pretty quick
Hey dude, Yeah a big problem with druids this expansion is we have trouble topping targets, it's really important we communicate with our partners, if we've got no ironbark or swiftmend/overgrowths for them we need to tell them to kite or line of sight with you or atleast make them use one of there cds, you should never put yourself in the situation where you're out of ironbark/swiftmends and your partner is still mid map tanking damage, its important to tell him you've got nothing for him and for him to kite for the next 15-20 seconds until you can top him, it also may be a good time to clone the dps to save 50% of the incoming damage or even use this time to drop a defensive vortex to help your team mate kite, hope this helps!
gavawn
Thank you so much for sharing! I really appreciate it.
thanks for the support dude :) hope it helps!
beautiful keep it coming! :D
Great Video Mate thanks for helping me out !
Very good guide, thanks!
Appreciate it, Thanks for watching! :)
Lonedrood I have just two questions: what class do you struggle against the most and what do you think about ench shaman?
I struggle vs unholy deathknights the most, i think there damage and abilities counter resto druids the most out of any specc and enhance shamans are fine, the only times i'll be in trouble vs enhance shamans are if a healer is spam purging me and im being perma slowed by a rogue or frost dk with an enhance shaman on me, apart from that i think there ok if you save ironbark for blood lust, stay in bear and only apply hots when three using globals to purge, it's important to prioritize lifeblooms when reapplying hots for the dispel heal also :)
wow thanks once again :D
lovely guide thanks
Great indepth guide dude, it helped me out alot! I wish you would have included your keybinds tho :)
thanks alot! I'd be happy to tell you my keybinds but i'm pretty sure most people would find them really uncomfortable as it's whatever you're comfortable with as best adapting to ^^
very good guide, more editing would be great but u r taking all the time u need and i like that better
Taishi Senko thanks man; apppreciate it
Great vid il make sure to sub.
Had a question about the swiftment soul of the forest build. It was really strong before they needed it. I see most .druids on the 3s latter not running it. What do u think is best in 3v3?
I play at 2500mmr in 2s but only 2.2 in 3s trying to get better.
Matt Smith hey dude, i still play soul build alot but lately in legion all the comps have some sort of offensive dispeller and in legion as a rdruid its so easy to fall behind with healing so id go ward build most of the time with anything with an enhance, sp, or mage and any dispeller at all in 2s!

Shawn Light apreciate the kind words dude, im uploading a detailed video explaining the adundance build on tuesday :) Lonedrood#21928
Do you actually allow people to add you? I'd like to get in touch with you, I wanna improve my resto druid gameplay in arenas :)
Hey dude, for sure happy to help anyone in any way i can :)
good stuff mate! Hey any good tips against shadowcleave comps? especially against feral/shadow or shadow affli. I have no idea how to beat those. I spec defender of the weak clone fortified bark early spring germination cultivation stonebark cenarion ward. Am i doing it right? we just get rekt every time at 2k rating, i'm not sure if it's just my healing or i just need to cc more to win, or if i'm supposed to dispel in cd and take the fear up
oh also renewal and guardian affinity, and druid of the claw
Gianni Banane i specc soul of the forest and double swiftmend vs drainer teams, also renewal, i dont even try and cast clones vs drainer comps as it only takes one lockout to fall behind, i prioritize myself with dispels and shift into bear whenever im not healing for my trait "mark of shifting" which heals 1% of ur hp per 3 secs, in bear its more healing obviously, so i play really defensive and vim and vigor and just line the lock all game, ill only ever dispel if my target has atleast 2 rejuves and a bloom up and once i dispel i line everything, go bear and get the 1% hp heals while im silenced, also depends on the comp your playing, caster comps will struggle with drainer comps naturally, your dps need to be going feral everytime the feral comes behind the pillar to bleed you up, it provides good kill chances by forcing the feral behind pillars with you to get his bleeds up.. also make sure your team shuts down the lock whenever you dispel, as that stops some of the dmg while your ua silenced and stops you from falling behind, always tell your dps to save interrupts for this, thats all i can think of.. hope that helps!
thank you so much!
thank you very much for your dmn good guide - i think it will help me grow ;D
Great guide! Thanks! Could you please tell me the name of the addon you're using to display your hit/heal points in the middle of the lower screen?
Anukis18 hey dude, appreciate it! its all in the blizzard default settings - check "scrolling combat text" ☺
Great vid. still trying to figure out when it's more beneficial to go CW + Cultivation over Swiftmend (prosperity?) +Soul of the forest. I've watched a bunch of your videos but can't seem to place a common denominator on when you use CW + cultivation vs certain comps. is it only good against rot comps and dispel comps? or am i missing something?
Maddison Short cultivation vs everything now, since the healer buffs cw/cult is too good 🖒
Lonedrood healer buffs? and so Soul + prosperity is not worth it anymore?
Maddison Short healers got flatout intellect buffs and everyone got health buffs which means cultivation proccing slightly higher/sooner, I can't think of the last time I played soul to be honest, another reason not to is purge mana cost got buffed so they can spam it alot more ☺
Lonedrood Alright i'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tips. Great videos btw. Diggin the music
Very complete guide, thanks man. One question why did you talk about stats priority ? I thought that ilvl is the only thing that matters in arena since legion, i'm even playing with agility trinket to make the ilvl higher (around 2k mmr) ] is that a mistake ?
Duff0506 its just for world pvp really, nothing more :)
Im a 2.6 rdruid in wod and i just got back this expansion , and this its very helpfull and just have 1 question , i love to play rmd but adaptation seems to be bad against comps that can one shot you with no trinket , will you still pick this talents or not? thanks alot and this guide its amazing , sorry for bad english not the best at it ! cheers
Hey dude! I never run adaption anymore, always trinket or relentless if I'm playing with heavy defensive teams 😁
What do you use for your team's profile UI? Looks almost like grid
Nice guide. Question... what weapon/enchant look is on it?
Thanks dude, it's called Glorious Tyranny illusion and the weapons used are Hellreaver(intro) and Cerith Spire Staff
U should do an overwatch PvP guide
Hey mate, nice video. Whats the intro song?
iMpackDK thanks mate! Karma Fields - Build the Cities (ft. Kerli) 🖒
What about RBGs and BGs.. I like Abundance+Nourish+Early Spring. Seems to work well in lower tier RBGs.. Any opinion on that in particular?
Hey man :) Yeah maybe for low tier and random bgs that could work sure, but i prefer two swiftmends and the fortified bark is a big deal even in low end bgs/rbgs, playing nourish/abundance still requires alot of casting and i really dont think you'd be able to cast that much vs your average players, that's just my opinion, i'd rather stick to high burst instant healing rather than high maintained burst casted healing though! ^^

Baseline talents anyway, for BGs/RBGs.. I know certain talents are situational, even in BGs
wardeagle1015 yeah for sure dude, for rbgs the best baseline specc is definitely ward and cultivation since target calls are always single target and every team runs high dispellers making double swiftmend and soul of the forest a waste

hey was wondering what is you team plates where there that big?
Hey dude, to get my party plates that big you go into settings->interface->raid profiles and check Use Raid-Style Party Frames and Keep Groups Together and at the bottom Frame Height and Frame Width to tall and wide setting

Hey man, could you write your macros in the description ? :D
Would you use typhoon in Bg's over bash?
(2K4 rdrood) no
only for the fun factor but i'd still go bash if you were serious about winning, typhoon is only good in few situations vs bashing healers or dps for peels
/cast !Bear Form and the other macros dont seem to be working in legion. i noticed this at the start and my game play is a little weaker because of it. Are u also experiencing this?
mattsmithers475 hey, thats really strange there working for me, what issue is it exactly?
Really? Ya I have had those macros for years but they just don't work in legion for me. I know that they are right just shifts me back into human form on the second press. Kills me cause I spam bear for a stun and it takes me out after I'm stunned.
Matt Smith thats so strange, have you tried remaking them? and 100% binded the right keys and not accidentally using default shift keys?
I beat you one day in skirmish, was happy :D
Cloud70 haha i do alot of skirms when im waiting for invites so probably was me 😂 gg
Lonedrood yep you was with illuminare and shivaspace r1
Ah that's cool ^^ what were you playing?
Lonedrood Im restosham and 2 random was dk and demolock
So you didnt mention healing touch, or maybe i missed it. Is it not worth using?
Gibea Caldwell hey dude, it's not worth using in 99% of the situations unless it's with the healing touch build which I went over in a previous video ☺ (nice profile pic! 👌 😁)
i'll have to check that out. awesome video btw, very helpful to new resto's!
is this guide still applicable to 7.1.5? thanks for the guide :)
Hey dude, it 100% is still applicable to 7.1.5 :) only things that changed really is renewal on a lower cd and displacer beast 30sec cd to 40 sec cd ^^
isnt turarn better cuz u can smash then cyclone in
I'm confused you mentioned stat priority, does it matter ? I thought all stats were pretty determined for pvp ? not being a smart ass seriously asking lol
Trevor Maclean yeah they really dont matter in pvp :) its just incase you get one item with the same ilvl but different stats, just for world pvp really ^^
"It's really nice"
Drew B touché sir.
nice!
can you post me your macros for your focus targets in the video its very hard to read and type out ? if you can thanks mainly your focus bash macro along with the rootz macro your burst macro
Sure thing dude
#showtooltip
/cast [target=focus, exists] SPELL; SPELL;
obviously replacing SPELL with the ability you'd want, this will cast it at your focus target and if you have no focus target it will cast at your main target,
Also /focus bind helps to so you dont have to click to focus ^^
thanks i really wanted that rootz macro and focus bash macro you had with mix entangle thanks ill try to read the video text but its kinda hard a bit since small writing
can you give me an example of focus bind macro or are you talking about binding the focus macro etc?
nice got it working is thier any tips on healing in arena what to keep up i know you need rejuv 2 times then life bloom or life bloom then rej 2 times i was thinking of making my hot bar like lifebloom rej regrowth swiftmend wild growth efflorseence tranquil
essence of ghanir overgrowth iron bark irrentvate etc any thoughts?
Yeah i'd prioritize rejuve,rejuve,lifebloom, then it all depends...
1. enough mana? regrowth into wild growth
2. not enough mana? or unsure if you will oom soon? regrowth into essence of ghanir then lifebloom
also depends, maybe you can clone the dps so your heals can top your target and save you wasting a swiftmend or mana on regrowth spam etc
whats the song at the end?
Hey sorry for the late reply, been looking all over my files for the song! ruclips.net/video/Iifeb6sHCm8/видео.html :)
np, thx a lot, gl with your channel
How te survive against resto shamana spaming purge in 2v2 P:(
berkalin hey dude, theres 3 options when your being spam purged - 1. tell your dps to sit on the sham and slow him while you line of sight 2. burst the shaman to force him to play defensive 3. peel the dps for example disarm or blind the dps so you can catch up with hotting yourself, usually you should always be near a pillar and if the dps and rsham is chasing you soam purging then your dps isnt peeling very well, hope this helps!
What is that weapon and/or enchant?
darKnektoR glorious tyranny, it was obtainable with 2.4k+ rating in WoD
Lonedrood thank you
Are you near Liverpool?
RetroSpock currently at north wales, was born there though, live about an hour away 😁
new guide for legion?????
How do I manage mana
All depends on your healing rotations, are you spamming regrowth too much to top targets instead of artifact etc, might be helpful to go over each spell and see the mana costs and think what you could use differently to top targets :)
do you use any macros to heal when you pvp arena 2s
mostly and most important i use are party target 1-2-3, i think every healer needs these for maximum efficiency ^^
Lonedrood but which heal.macro you use in combo like life bloom rej rej or displace into bash macro or stuff like that idk just tbinking of examples
skillfulactor09 i dont really have any combined heal macros or anything like that, each spell has its own bind for me, i only use focus, target, shift, cancelaura and mouseover macros
+Lonedrood
what's the. name of your cancel aura macro?
only stuff like /cancelaura form as sometimes if i shift into bear and want to shift out without waiting for a global cool down i will hit that macro to take me out of form instantly, for example... i could shift into travel form then get ice nova'd by a mage just before i go to bash him, i will then cancel form instead of waiting for my global to bash just so he cant create distance after the ice nova
Are you still playing?
Deagle unfortunately not 😕 I play elder scrolls online now
good guide man but you clicking your tongue every few seconds makes it disgusting to listen to you....
Yeah it bothered me alot too, really sorry about that, it's my first time being vocal on a youtube video but appreciate you watching it either way mate
