The Spec is the LIFE!



Another foray into specs for Healers. Many specs exist. Variations for every flavor of healing you can think of! I could go into mechanics and link to more resources than we can shake a leaf at, but for now, sticking to some tried and true goodies for those interested.

  • Dreamstate : 33/0/28, A great build to start with when begining your trek into healing. Also lets you solo mighty nicely in the world. Some say this is horrid for raid healing, but it can have a place! This is the build Kanat uses with ease and grace.
  • Full Resto : 1/0/60 or 0/0/61, this is the build that pretty much has every healing option shoved into one. If you are primarily on raid healing, this is overkill on talents you will never use (all those HT ones). Long ago, this was a killer spec, but in truth, you'll find it a waste of points.
  • HoT Raider : 13/0/48, a lovely build. All of the strength in your HoTs, none of the HT bloat. It also incorporates some nice solo options for Wrath, increases your range for sleeping targets, and gives the love of Insect Swarm. Can't say enough about the beauty of this spec.
  • PVP Healin : One of many, this is the 8/11/42 for feral charge, roots, and healing a go-go. There are many variations. And often, I've had enough with the HoT raider spec to wreck havoc.

I am not a boomkin expert, so I couldn't give much insight to that. But as all druids, I do have a mainstay secondary spec and raid role I love: tanking.

  • Jadey's Tank-o-matic : A great build for tanking and dps. I know, I put two points in Nurturing Instinct. But for me, it's been great! Some fights being in melee as a DPS is murder for AOE and splash dmg. Any little bit helps. Also, going to caster, while changing weapons, to self heal is love with the talent for sticky situations.
