I am not a druid nor have i played a druid much but you have a lot of 1/3 or 3/5 stuff in there.. It would seem better if you maxed out a few instead of spreading your points. i am sure one of the other players with a druid will post before the day is up about what would be a good build.

I play 7/0/44 and i like it alot, makes it easier to heal and invarrate is $ for raids, and when we get to AQ, fights last 10+ mins so its a big help to preists.

That being said, i did raid for a while with 14/32/5, and while it was nice haveing almost 10k mana, not having innvate hurt it in the long run.

Cool well I may look at it like that then. I def. want to keep some feral though don't care too much about balance.

How about this:

I know a few of our druids had a very similar build to yours. I've always been either full balance or full resto so I have no clue about anything feral related. Adrienna could probably advise you better.

It's tough to say exactly but I'd guess that without going all the way to Innervate in the resto tree this would be a good resto set up (I didn't use any of the other points cause I don't know feral) for raiding. It maximizes your healing potential.

I'd say not getting Imp regrowth and 1/5 furor, and getting insect swarm and gift of nature instead. 1/5 furor is almost uselss beacuse you cant rely on it, as its only a 20% chance.

just for the hell of it I respec'd feral. So far it is kinda disappointing. Sure an extra 1000 or so mana is nice but I just don't feel like the damage powerhouse everyone says feral is. I'll give the BGs a run next tiem I am on to try it some more.

Hello Beezer :)

I have tried just about every druid spec out there, and for a long time I was specc'd very similar to the one you posted. It looks like you are trying for a pvp spec while still having a good amount of resto abilities for raids. My advice to you would be to go with either a 1-29-21 build or a 0-30-21 build. If you are going to put that many points in feral, then you have no reason not to go with heart of the wild, which is one of the best druid abilities out there. And if you are not going to put points in +healing talents, then the extra mana will come in very handy. Here is the breakdown for both of the specs:

1-29-21

BALANCE
1-Nature's Grasp (one of the best druid talents IMO)

FERAL
5- Ferocity
2- Feral Instinct
2- Brutal Impact
2- Thick Hide (you might want to put an extra point here and take it away from brutal impact)
2- Feline Swiftness
1- Feral Charge
3- Sharpened Claws
3- Predatory Strikes
2- Blood Frenzy
2- Savage Fury
1- Faerie Fire (feral)
4- Heart of the Wild (I took the points you spent in imp shred and a couple from feral instinct to put them here, because heart of the wild is too friggin awesome to pass up)

RESTORATION-21
5- Improved MotW
5- Furor
5- Improved Healing Touch
4- Nature's Focus
1- Insect Swarm
1- Nature's Swiftness

This is a very popular talent build. I got it from Dyermaker and used it myself for a long time. I know alot of druids don't want the nature's grasp, and they take that extra point and point it in heart of the wild. If you don't want those 5 points in furor, you can always put them somewhere else in the resto tree, but I can't tell you where since I can't live without my furor. :)

I hope this helped. If you have any questions, either post them here or contact me on Muradin. Good luck!

Thanks...as soon as i get enough gold again i will respec and try this out. I def. want to be feral, but i know this guild needs more healing spec druids...so if i can satisfy both that would be awesome. Feral is going to help me pvp which i don't do too often, but soon i will. And i def. want to do raids more than pvp. The problem i always had with doing raids is the guild i was in died and i didn't really know anyone and def. not going to do a pug group. So ya...

But thanks i will def. try this out.
