RvR grp druid spec?

[herjulf]

I am a complete and total Hibernia noob, sneaken over from Mid exc to enjoy myself a tad.

I took advantage of the /level 30, i tried to read up on druids, but info is so.. poor what a good rvr spec is.

What is the most viable druid spec around atm for RvR grp purposes?

and oh yes ofc i am aiming for 50.

Edit: nm found a good post on excal/hib forum but feel free to air your ideas anyways all help is appreciated.

41/35 - Reg/Nurt

Best all round spec tbh.

I am specced 40regr/35nurt/9nat

works nice for me, the 41heal consume too much power to actually be good , the one that heals for 5xx is good enough in RVR imo. If you cant outheal with that heal, the target you are healing will die anyhow most likely and as a bonus you get some additional tools in the form of a dot that interrupts and cost nearly no mana and an aoeroot that is quite ok for interruptpurposes.

the second viable specc is 40regr/36nat if you run with a regr/nurt druid aswell for a neat DoT and a nice AoEroot as backupCC and a very decent pet that stuns and still have the 100% rez which in RvR is invaluable imo.

Im going more for the battle druid spec, one of the 3 below, probably the 3rd.

Nut,reg,nat
1. 26/30/26 All around, good buffing, 50% insta's. Best of both Solo and GvG.
2. 19/35/36. "The" battle druid spec. Ok buffing, 75% instas. Best Solo.
3. 2(4)/40/36. 75% instas, full rez, Spread heal 2. No buffs. Best GvG spec.

no3 is the best one if you plan to group in RvR imho

have fun with yer drood tho, I also believe hib could use some more druids with that specc to complement the regr/nurt-druids.

just dont forget to heal when you are DoT-ing people

Two (or maybe three) options:

35 Nurture / 41 Regrowth

The spell at 41 Reg decreases in casting time and increases in healing with the higher spec - it's not used very often but can be handy to dump an emergency heal on somebody when you don't have much time. Worth considering as Mythics feedback to the TL has acknowledged that Spread Heal is a little more powerful than they originally intended - but they will look at tweaking the single target heals to make "intelligent" healing more beneficial in certain scenarios (basically compared to what you get in the spec below it might be worth hanging onto).

35 Nurture / 40 Regrowth / 9? Nature

You ditch the upgrade to the seldom used 41 Reg Heal for a little Nature - gives upgrade in Pet (level 14 instead of 7 I think - not much difference) and AE Root. AE Root is good for interupting support, but if you're running with a 40 Reg 36 Nat Druid they won't thank you for that. Very little between these two specs - just a play style decision I guess.

40 Reg / 36 Nature

More offensive in Spec - highest pet that can keep support suppressed for a while. AE Root, Insta Root and AE Root and DOT. Your primary role should still be a healer (Hib groups need 2+ dedicated healers tbh), but you also have half decent AE root and a DOT you should assist the MA with in your group if you have time.

All viable specs, mostly depends on play style. Realm has a lot of the first two, could do with more of the 3rd, however a group ideally needs at least one 35 Nuture Druid:

so 1 Nurt / Regrowth + 1 Nat / Reg > 2 x Nurt / Reg > 2 x Nat / Reg

Finally if you want to group RvR I'd avoid splitting spec across all 3 lines, Druids really don't get the spec points to make it worth while. If you're into solo'n or PvE it don't matter so much.

I respecced from first to 2nd spec when I had the chance when the new patch was introduced with a free single line respec. The 41 heal mana-cost is skyhigh and you got no way of interrupting on range. The 2nd spec is so much better, the major heal is actually useable without running OOM after 4 casts and the ST DoT is great to interrupt enemies from casting. The pet is pretty much useless unless the enemy is not killing it in 1 blow then it provides a nice extra interrupt The pet also has the nasty habbit of finding stealthers near MG's when put to aggro if they're close enough

40 Reg / 36 Nature

It's nice to have 1 druid having spec 1 or 2 and another druid having this spec 40/36 reg/nurt due to insta AoE-root and a pet which can take a beating and still interrupt support nicely.
