Playing druids are amazing fun i frist started off with 3 shamans but didnt really like it when i knew i cloud have 5 druids! so my druids are on their way to 80 but i just wanna post some macros see if you guys see any errors let the pros correct it. :)

Resto Druid Macros
HoTs Binded to my Alt Keys 1-6

/target "name"
/castsequence Lifebloom, Lifebloom, Lifebloom, Rejuvenation

Rason for x3 Lifebloom because of the stack

Ok now my main heals check it out
Heals binded to Ctrl 1-6

/target "name"
/castsequence Regrowth, Healing Touch

Now heres something i just came up with not sure its not so good this def needs to be corrected

Random Macro

/target focus
/cast Wild Growth
/cast Swiftmend

:p

Oh yeah im pretty rusty with my tank if you guys have some good macros for tanking thats cool and i understand macros dont make the tank the player makes the tank but macros are a huge help :)
What im correctly tanking with

Pull - Charge
/cast Feral Charge - Bear
/cast [nostance] Faerie Fire; Faerie Fire (Feral)()
/cast Growl

Tank Single/Multi
/castsequence Swipe (Bear), Lacerate, Mangle (Bear)

For the resto druid-

Basically play around with your timing and such, and make a macro that will keep hots up constantly on your tank. Druids are by far the best healers for boxers in my opinion, because they are simply 'set it and forget it' healers - you just keep your sequence going, keep the hots up on your tank, and that's it.


Something like (this is just random - you need to figure out what your button smashing speed is and what kind of healing your tank requires)

/castsequence Rejuvenation,,,Swiftmend,,,,,Lifebloom,,,,,Regrowt h,,,,,Lifebloom,,,,Nourish,,,Lifebloom,,,,,,,,Nour ish,,,,,,Nourish,,,,,,,Nourish

Remember you now WANT that lifebloom to bloom, not roll, so make sure the timing works for that. I use Swiftmend as a kind of stopgap to make sure that my Lifebloom blooms.

Also don't use healing touch - it is bad, worse than nourish, and should only be on one button, your oh shit button, and should read like

/tar <focus or whatever>
/cast Nature's Swiftness
/cast Healing Touch


I'm not sure what you're trying to do with your wild growth macro there, but swiftmend only works off of rejuvenation or regrowth.

I think you will also find that you really only need macros that throw maybe a rejuv on a party member that is not your tank. So really just 5 buttons that throw rejuvs on your party members is all you need in targetted healing. WIld growth really is just amazingly that good.

My druid who is my main simply has a big button for the tank healing that goes through a cycle keeping hots up, and then 5 individual buttons that will rejuv and nourish people, a wild growth button, and an oh shit button.

Don't try to micromanage your healing like you might have to with other healing classes. The awesome thing about druids for boxers is really the fact that you don't have to pay attention at all. Figure out your castsequence for keeping hots and stuff up, put it on your big button, and then do heroics and raids smashing one single button while you read slashdot or digg. Druids are awesome.

i played 5 resto druids up to 80 through AV - it was some of the most fun I had. SO HARD TO KILL!

Are you using an FTL setup?

I play druids aswell. I don't know if you use Innserspace/Isboxer or one of the other programs.

If you use IS I would strongly advice you to get the addon callen Vuhdo. Thats how I manage all my healing.

I have a castsequence as yours with the lifebloom, but I have included a reset=3 in it to be sure I don't "run" out of spells in fx. bossfights.
I also have a single button for Healing Touch as it provides alot of healing relatively fast. Got Growth on a separate button aswell.

I use a dedicated druid healer, he has a castsequence setup similar to what jimbobobb (http://www.dual-boxing.com/member.php?u=18950) said, except it's just the 3 hots. rejuv, followed by regrowth (since by then the tank has taken some damage) followed by lifebloom etc etc. Reset= is set to the time rejuv takes to run out.

Group heal - I have a simple macro bound to a key to target self, cast wild growth (and added rejuv + lifebloom to it so if i'm mashing it it adds a hot ot the tree too) reset= set to time it takes for wild growth to be up again
oh $hit button- castsequence of swiftmend on tank, natures swiftness + healing touch.

I usemouse repeater and grid+clique for spot healing and top ups, Vuhdo is the same sorta thing, easier to setup. I don't heal much via this method except in healing intensive fights. There are guides on isboxer about setting up the mouse repeating healing regions etc and there is heaps of info on here too.

Until you get nourish (it currently requires a fairly high level) glyphed healing touch is a decent substitute.

^^ yep, healing touch glyphed is awesome, cast times of under a second, and they hit for 4 k at 70.

I use it religiously in pvp, best quick heal in the game before 80 imo, not mana wise tho. but mana isnt a huge issue in pvp.
