Well the fact that specifically in this log holy paladin uses no Glyph of Holy Light just to give an opportunity for the Resto Druid to parse is ridicilous and one more time shows and proves that healing parses are meme. Meanwhile to be absolutely honest at this point in Classic I expected the top of the top players to be really skillful and show some crazy stuff that we have made for the past 7 years on private servers like 2 healing or even solo healing some of 25hc bosses (not even mentioning 0% here). At this point probably very few guilds may have it done already but in the background of Classic's population compared with any private server makes it somehow irrelevant which one more time proves that quality > quantity. The ICC buff is already at 30% and top guilds are BiS or few items behind BiS... so there is no excuse not to do that if they have pretensions to being the best players that the world ever seen (LoL a bit of sarcasm :D). That being said the whole healing and I'd say even dps parsing system is cheatable and not in the manner of realistic world scenario where you'd never let holy paladin not to use glyph of holy light or you'd never engage half the raid to serve one dps so he can parse. Speed runs are a better metric system of how a certain guild performs because in the end of the day WoW is a team and not an individual game.
So much of heal parsing is dropping healers plus being in a raid where people are taking a lot of damage. Analyzing healer skill is much harder than dps skill in this respect. Ive seen so many high parsing healers who fall apart on prog/hard fights because they dont know how to change talents/gear for a specific fight, dont know how to change spell usage for specific fight lengths and damage profiles, how to save mana while still doing theoughput, how to preempt damage, etc. Healing isnt all about throughput, its more like tanking than dps in that way. Im also a big proponent of using the spellpower runspeed meta gem on most healers, especially when youre geared and dont need the mp5 from the mana restore meta. For healers who cant cast while moving (hpal, rsham mostly) 8% runspeed is actually insanely valuable given you will most likely be using enhineering boots and missing tuskars. Thats 8% less casting time lost from movement on a fight where the mana meta is only like ~60 mp5. If you find a fight where you don't have to move/go oom you can just swap metas.
Doesn't it say on wclogs that he has 825 haste, that's what shows up in their character summary. If you assume that every rejuv you cast is 0% overhealing (which is what you are aiming for in a parse healing run right? Isn't it always better to cast rejuv instead of a swiftmend since its 18s of rejuv vs 12s as long as no one dies. Maybe hes worried because of of swiftmends chance to crit that he will over heal people who are even at 40ish% since it does like 22k+ on crit. Theoretically shouldn't a top healer parse for a druid look like rejuv spam + wg spam with little to no over healing. Basically achieved by a fast kill time and 1 or 2 healing? Or would it look like spamming regrowth on every single person -- i don't know what is the best healing per global a druid has... XD but im assuming its rejuv/wg
No. Rejuv WG spam is not the most optimal on BQL. Spe ding a global to get a 30k+ swiftmend off vs a rejuv that maybe might net you 10k is definitely worth it when parsing. Same for hero GTS + regrowth spam. You are going to get much more throughput by using those globals for those things vs rejuv. You'll still want a rejuv up to help keep idol procd and you'll still want to use WG every 6 seconds but there are plenty of times when breaking the rejuv and wg rotation makes sense and especially with rapid being used
A lot of resto druids I see on warmane gem like this, just unable to do basic math. I wish i knew the spec too because another common thing I see in druids all the time is not 3/3 Revitalize, Ive seen them all, 0 points 1 point 2 points. The reason behind this is just baffling to say the least. "Its only 8 energy" or "15% isn't a lot" even when it procs off your 2 best heals and it adds up over the course of a fight. But I suppose in a TEAM based environment like Raiding anything that doesn't increase personal performance must be bad
i question what they would be picking up when dropping revitalize. Not that revitalize is some huge things (it actually has less effect the higher the gear) but even so its a boost as you said.
