Also, HoTs don't count on the overheal-o-meters (atleast they didn't use to) so you don't need to worry about your e-peen.
Well, they still overheal, but they don't tick when they're at 100% life. If they lose one health (probably aggro'd a crab... fucking crabs caused a wipe in Steamvault, once) and your hot ticks for 1000, you'll get 999 overhealing. You just get VERY LITTLE overhealing with hots.
But all the healers already know this and taunt you when you have any overhealing at all.

Right, so what are good tanking enchants for a weapon? I currently just got a cheapo +85AP on mine.
edit: According to EJ, it's either Mongoose or Agility, both TBC enchants. Fuck that noise, I'll keep my AP enchant.
I realize the 75 (then 50) stam enchant was kind of silly, but I'm really balking at the idea of putting Mongoose on my naxx25 tanking staff...
What else would you put on it? Your options are pretty much limited to 35 Agi, Mongoose, Massacre, Accuracy, or Titanium Weapon Chain. And of those, Mongoose and 35 Agi are basically the only weapon enchants that give any sort of tank-relevant stat, at least until some future tier of content where DPSers are threat-capped.
So there's a weird bug affecting Wild Growth and CoH where it just suddenly doesn't work. Anything you try to cast it on is considered an invalid target. It happens on Malygos and I had it happen to me on the rhino trash at the end of H Gundrak. Once I was out of combat it went back to normal but for Malygos that's not an option. Luckily I use Rejuv/Lifebloom for Maly moreso than WG.

Ive noticed this on malygos during the Vortex only. On landing I can WG fine before same thing , during the actual flying around part nothing happens. I just spread LB's around instead and allow them to bloom.
Here's a we'll look into this thing Blue response.
It's not a range issue since I was casting it on myself and got the same error.
The way vortex works is weird. it doesn't recognize you are moving like it should, it will allow you to sometimes begin casting a spell with a cast time and then cancels the spell within about .5 sec's of the cast. Unlike if you were falling which would not even allow you to begin casting the same spell in the first place.

I've heard that sometimes WG bugs out after you've been silenced.
Hey, I'm gonna respec resto at 80 (lvl 78 pvp feral spec now), I've been gathering gear for while but how much +healing/spirit should you have to be able to heal end-game dungeons (non-heroic). I've got around 911 +healing now I think, with my feral spec+healing gear on. Spirit's at 469, all non-buffed.
So am I alright and just need to respec and put on my gear or should I make sure I have some better gear first?
I would imagine 1200 or so would be ok for regular stuff. It's hard to recall because nobody runs stuff at 80 on regular. Everyone jumps straight to heroics. And tanks and healers kind of need to gear up a little first. Oh well, crafting and BoE items fit the bill well enough.

DPS "need" to gear up before heroics as well. The problem is that most of them don't (and are generally bad players as well), so they end up making the run harder than it needs to be for everyone involved.
Also, want to know how to tell when you totally outclass your Naxx10 raid? When you're #1 in both damage done and dispels done on Noth since you're the only one there who can remove curse. 12 curses removed (didn't miss a single one) and first in damage by over 10%? Get me some better players, please.

Solo dispelling Noth on normal isn't exactly rocket surgery.
Now, when I was a holy pally back in BC and people wondered if I could read minds, what with the speed I dispelled? Now we're talking. (...but it was actually just Grid and a mouseover Cleanse macro.)

It's more the point that I did more damage than the 5 other players that were along for the purpose of doing damage, except they weren't disrupting their damage to shift out of cat form and remove curses.
What's the opinion on restos wearing cloth? My bro who play druid for like 1.5 years and healed all of the end-game outland raids thinks it's a bad idea but just wondering what you guys thought...
I still have some cloth I think. Look at the stats you need, armor isn't important. I still prefer leather just because, but no harm is using cloth if it has more spell power/etc.

The only difference is armor, and on most gear it seems to be about 200 difference, so it's a complete non-issue in PvE and a minor issue in PvP.
Unless you have Improved Tree of Life for TEH ULTIMATE ARMOR BOOST.
But, yeah, cloth is fine, although it should probably go to a cloth wearer first in an "equivalent upgrade" situation since they don't have the option of wearing leather.

Yeah, that's how our guild does it. Items go on priority to the class for which it is the highest type of armor they can wear, then other armor classes of that spec, then offspec.

i've never worn cloth gear in WotLK, never been a need. But if a cloth item dropped and was a huge upgrade for for that player (i.e. over a blue or green) I wouldn't rag on the druid for rolling it as long as it was mainspec/no clothies needed it/etc
i see pallys in leather sometimes, same with shamans just cuz they had to upgrade that slot and nothing armor appropriate had dropped for them yet.
but i've been very happy with the drop rates of leather healing gear in this expansion. I had to wear some cloth in BC for a while but I havn't had to touch it here.
I bid on every single healy item from Naxx that didn't go to a main healer, so I started with plenty of cloth items. Now I have mostly leather gear since that's properly itemized for druids.
Now give me dual specs so I can try it out more often without people complaining about me not tanking!

Unfortunately the same cannot be said for boomkin gear. Yes, yes, they homoginzed the stats on most gear to be appropriate for both, but any doomchicken worth his feathers won't take a piece from his healer when it is clearly better for him, even more so when that piece of cloth the mage is wearing would be so much better for him. Over half my best in slot items are still cloth or have cloth in the top 2.
Hi...my name is treelicker...and i'm a clothkin t:x
Considering trying out Balance again for the sheer hell of it. Does Eclipse still have dramatically dimishing returns after the first point?
Eh? I'd say stick with full 3/3 in it, that's all I've seen any raiding boomkin (okay, I only know 3 raiding boomkins in all of Ravenholdt) put it in, considering that still just gets you a 60% to proc the good portion of it. And if it's being stingy, it'll be stubborn and give you a string of wrath crits with no proc.
Any advice on pre-raid feral rings? I got the one from gun'drak the other day, but I'm having a hard time finding something to pair it with that isn't loaded with plate tank stats.

I hardly ever use Lifebloom either unless it's a hard hitting boss guy.
I have spellpower on my weapon, but I wonder if spirit would be better. Is the top spirit on weapon enchant 45, or is there a higher one?
Now to pray for Leggings from Sartharion + 2D for another best in slot item.
Nourish is nice, but with living seed and the regrowth 50%, it's just not worth it unless you really need that half a second.
Like, best looking spell in WoW great.
I wonder how many people have not looked up high enough to see the full effect? It's certainly out of the normal field of view that I have.
I freaked my buddy out by moonfiring something under a bridge he was standing on.
So am I alright and just need to respec and put on my gear or should I make sure I have some better gear first?

So what do you need for heroic?
some of the heroic fights can get hairy with such low +healing and drain you real quick.
