lifebloom

[wardoth]

hey i just got the skill lifebloom. anyone else get this yet? any ideas on the best way to use this skill.

i figure if you cast it every 5 or 6 secs you can keep it dotting and let it run out if you want it to heal for that 600. im thinking this skill is druid flash of light. or maybe its used for when rej needs an extra punch but you dont want to regrowth.

as for feral i figure pop out rej, and get 2 or 3 lifeblooms on you then pop back maybe?



i logged for bed after i got this skill so i havnt used it much just some stuff i was thinking of while trying to fall asleep. looking forward to getting in game to test it and see how best to use this skill. i have class all day but i planned on trying to figure out how mana efficent it was compared to other skills aswell. if anyone has any info or advice on this skill that would be helpful.

yeah i am liking lifebloom. I hit it and rejuv and just keep going. If i need the bigger heal i go regrowth and lifebloom. I haven't worried about stacking on it yet. I guess I hadn't played with it and didn't realize it could be stacked 3 times by the same druid. I know rejuv stacking has to come from seperate sources... guess i will try it out.

i noticed that casting it once and letting it to do direct heal works well. if you play with sound on you notice that lifebloom has the most god awful sound effect. i figured out that you can hear this from pretty far away after lifebloom runs out. so when ever i hear that sound that lifebloom makes upon finishing i cast it again.

rej ticks every 3 secs while life bloom every 1 sec with increasing the number of lifeblooms stacks causing it to tick for more health. at 2 stacks lifebloom seems to heal for the same about as rej does. so with 2 stacks lifebloom costs 440 mana (non resto) ticks the same as rej for 7 secs then heals for 600 or more health. rej cost 370 mana i think and heals for 12 secs but its totally a hot.

Im not sure if another druid casting lifebloom on the same target will stack ontop of one from another druid or if it stack seperatly like rej and regrowth. i found most of the time i stack one lifebloom and a rej and that gets the job done. if the tank has more health missing i will stack it twice with rej and if really needs heals 3 time. if the tank is near death i cast regrowth first then one lifebloom and rej if needed.

most of the time for tanks i use 1 lifebloom and cast after the direct heal when i hear that sound effect. but for non tanks like rogues and mages i like to stack 2 or 3 maybe with a rej. i have found that druid heals are very slow so time taken to heal ppl other than the tank is time the tank is missing chances to get heals. which can be deadly if he needs a quick heal and you're in the middle of healing someone else. lifebloom and rej are instant so i find these together are great for healing non tank classes cuz if the tank is doing his job and others watching aggro hots should be enough to heal them up.


this is just how is just how i use the skill not sure if it is the best way but it seem to work for me.
