Druid - RvR end spec reloaded!

[old.SadonTheGrey]

I understand that the only viable druid specs for proper RvR are

40 regrowth
35 nurture
9 nature

or

40 regrowth
36 nature

I don't know which one of these to choose. How common are buffbots on hib/exc? I know that on Prydwen they aren't that abundant yet on alb/pry most gank squads have so many bots between them they may aswel have two clerics with 50 rejuv rather than 40/35.

Had I better get into an RvR guild/perma RvR group before I decide?

Thanks in advance

:x

reg/nurt etc

Everyone seems to have BB's these days. I've been in a lot of RvR groups lately that don't even bother with a nurt spec druid - 2 or 3 people log in their BB's and buff the whole group.

BB cant redo resists, or rebuff dead people.

BB = high nurt = best resists = all buffs

u mean they heal shit ?
(44 nurt/31 rgr = 1st spread heal)

no i mean they are back at DL, which is no good seing as your resist buffs will drop around bolg.. and once one of you dies they cant rebuff you cause they are still at DL...

An active nurture druid can do this, not a BB

40 Nurture
36 Regrowth
9 (or so) Nature

least thats my plan

41 reg 35 nurt, 41 reg heal (as i've said before) is v-good at keepin people up with the assist train on them. Not much point in speccing the 9 nat nowadays with so many proper nature druids about, the ghetto aoe root is just dishing out a free immunity (if it even sticks). Only real use is as an interupt.

 

[rauno]

point is if u spec to 9na then if u want to respec to na someday u dont have to have 2 respec stones if u are 41reg/35nu u will need 2 stones to respec to 40/36

 

[tuathra]

i think u underestimate the worth of the 15 secs ae root at 9 na, its really nice as interrupts..

if u doubt my word, you might want to ask several alb caster zergs..

my spec:

40 nurt
35 regr
9 na

is really working nice in groups.. well.. if u got braincells 2 interrupt the right persons aswell as healing

my druid will be

44 nurt (last str/con)
31 reg (3rd st insta, 1st spread)
4 nat (first ae root)

1 point spare, looks perfectly viable to me

 

[liloe]

first to the bb discussion: Some ppl also have bb's further away in the country (returning to bolg for rebuffing is not too far imho).

Ok. Personally I'll go for 41 nat, 35 reg (also viable seems 39 nat, 35 reg, rest nurt for batlefield-rebuffing). But I think reg/nurt druids are also needed. I think it's good to have the buffing guy with you and at least a buffer won't try to cast anything else, so you got a sure healer. So both alternatives look good to me. Just being a nature druid makes your life a bit harder cause you gotta learn how to cc right (which is not as easy as it looks like)

Thats the spec I had on my old druid, but she was used as a BB too. Higher regrowth & less nurt is better tbh as you cant buff a fg with purp Str/Con, yellow Qui/Dex, purp Int etc without going ooc before everyone is buffed. The only thing you gain from your spec is slightly better resists, which isnt as good as having the best spread heal, better instas etc

 

[err0r]

Aglee, 41re/35nu or 40re/36na, depending on your play style.

My spec - works okay BUT
you get way less buffs if you are buffing people with the red str/con, and it doesn't make much difference.

Well not enough to justify only getting 15 buffs instead of 20.

Your group would need a buffbot so that everyone gets all spec buffs - and then you are still in the same situation if you die in emain. I'm respec'ing as soon as I can back to 41 reg/35 nurt.

My druid is a PvE buffbot too. That is why I chose this . Hasnt got the later spreadheals for the best 'in group' druid healer but is the best 'in group' buffer.

Yeah, if you are using your druid as a buffbot this is an ideal mixture of nurt/reg...I was just trying to make you aware of the expense in conc pts of the purple buffs.

Well i cant make up my mind either.

That's why i have one of each, all on separate accounts.
Group Druid : 41 Reg, 35 Nurt
Nature Druid : 40 Reg, 36 NA
Buffy Druid : 50 Nurt, 20 Reg

But which one do i play most? Well my first druid (and first char) of course. Partly coz he is highest RR, but also coz as an LGM AC he's most useful: can repair lvl 10 doors, make all Ram parts, has SC capped so never fails to make a Ram ( omg remember those days : you fail to make Ram, for the 3rd time).

im and evul alb who had a sneak peak at your forum

I have 1 comment on this, some druids have patetic grey pet's who die to 2 instant DD's from my minser ... others got unkillable green maneating wolf's ...

dont go for that gray pet ... a pet on our cleric/cleric's stop's any healing (albs got only cleric's for this and MAX 2 in group) and most likely pulls the pally and/or the minser out of the figth for a while when they has to bother with a stupid pet instead of the evul treehuggers..

Anyone for the balanced template?

My druid is:
26 Nurture (base resists and some crappy specs if needed after a death)
30 Regrowt (First Spread Heal)
36 Nature Affinity (AE Insta Root cames handy often)


I am a very unprofessional player and dont play druid a lot (only when needed or for a change) but this template, not exceptional in nothing but average everywhere, fits alot my way of playng.

Just an opinion of course
