NO, Stick with your druid. As i see it a druid is maybe our best Solo healer to join us. But you need voice communication And he need to be really skilled at what he is doing. Make sure he have a high 2v2 team so he know how to survive burst attacks and kite it away etc.Originally Posted by 'magwo',index.php?page=Thread&postID=114105#post11 4105
Reasons and how a druid should suport us in 5v5 is:
Specc: He should specc with imp MOWT. all the way down to 1 point in tree of life(yes i know it sucks in pvp but dont worry about that yet), Also down to feral charge. And auto rooting in balance. Basicly a deap resto specc.
Placement: He should allwyas stay inside of your shammys untill the main fight start, Stealthed in cat. This is maybe the best reason to pick a druid healer since he is the Only healer that can start the fight with 0 focuse from dps or CC. poping out inside of you will make them use a few seconds to change to him and few teams touches my druid at all.
Sup with CC: The druid i got is one of the most skilled druid i have seen. He really knows how to use is CC and he hardly never screw up with CCing a potential kill target of mine. I had druids before that totaly fucked up my nuke by cycloning ppl randomly. Make sure that if he should suport with CC, that he do it the right way. He can at all time cyclon rogues that is stunlocking chrs. This helps alot since i normaly ignore the rogues till the very end. And he should try to follow up on your DPS with rooting the same target. So in many fightes i can see that i start nuking atarget and by the first wave of ligtening it will be a root on that target aswell, which help by making them unable to step behind a piller. But, all this takes some pracitce and voice comunications
Tacks with a druid healer: If they rush in as 1 tight grp he should focus on only healing untell it seems safe to add some CC. Basicly just pop into tree of life and spam heal what ever get dpsed, Tree of life normaly suck in PVP but if the only thing you should do for 10-20 sec is to stand still and spam, then 25% more healing and less mana will help alot!
If you are up against a team that uses LOS alot and max range. (you know those teams that dont wanna fight you but they like to run just inside range.. shote 1 spell and then step 1 back so you lose your attack) against those teams i have alot highter win chance since of a druid. Basicly ignore them alittle.. just pop some groundings and heal up the little dps they do, and at the point when the target you want to kill first step just slightely a bit longer forward then have your druid pop out and root him and he will be dead in second
Druid VS pally: Pallys are nice as of their auras, and their bubble against CC or DPS. But thats it. In fights against heavy dpsers the pallys i have used have had trubble healing fast enough. As a solo healing pally it only takes 1 single interrup on him, and one of your shammys will be down.. While a druid can keep your toons up so much easier. Even if he get stunded or CCed for a short time it will most likely be some healing going on your fucused shammy. I have had some better sucsses with a pally that changed all his gems to haste rating games. But apart from that. A see the druid as the best healer we can have atm.
I have noticed that i can normaly win the 5 first games, but after that its going over to a 50% win chance. and then its just going down. So rather try to goe a few games each day then to go many on one day. And allwyas start with doing 1 BG toghter before jumping into arena, thats my best addvices
