Hi I would just like to say that I seriously think that druids should get a buff as well after mages did (buff one caster you have to do the other). Not to mention that in boss fights I sometimes find my casting speed to be about half a second too slow. Even with 330 sigils I sometimes find my energy depleted. I feel bad for all of the druids without sigils who have to wait 2 minutes between each kill.

Thanks

Start ranting on general discussion. Every class has had some buff or correction, but druid. I think it's our turn.

False.

Druids got the interupt chance on their Embrace cut by 50% about 3 patches ago.

Are you Meditating during your (non lava) boss fights? Choosing not to cast offensive spells to regen more energy over time? Are your skills overly max'd? I know many Druids have max touch and maybe 1-2 secondary heals, but even at higher levels choosing what spells are max'd vs what skills aren't is also a smart savvy way to save energy.

I use around 30 sigils. But I do use a variety of energy regen items and have found the energy revenant ring, the bracelet, an energy regen offhand, an ammy with regen to be a great way to stop the energy bleed. And yeah, some longer fights you do get rocked, but I just ask my Mage in group for a boost and I am back in the game.

Your casting speed too slow is perhaps a sign of you making bad spell choices, not the game being unfair to Druids.

If you choose to cast a touch and then cast a flurry of other spells and not a new touch directly after yer cooldown, then yer speed will be too slow. Discovering what spells you can cast in the Touch cooldown and still be effective to recast the touch is the secret of any great druid and many Druids have mastered that without needing the game to change to fit the learning curve of their ability. You seem to be a fairly high lvl, you should be able to have learned how to maximize the healing Cooldowns with buffs and wards...is this the issue or is there something else? Because I have never heard anyone say this.

The point is this: Some things appear to have changed. And yes, Druids may need a small tweak forthcoming especially in the update in regard to SoL, Wind, Aura etc..., but instead of lining up to blame the game. Make sure you have exhausted actually using some skill, savvy and thought into fixing yer problems. And then come to boards with a more defined synopsis of what the issue is. And other Druids can help you either formulate another strategy or back you up in your criticisms.

well my touch is over-maxed, as is my breath and my vines. my embrace is maxed and my lightning is at 11/30. haha and thank you for the advice however my casting goes like this...
touch-->embrace-->touch-->vines-->touch-->embrace-->touch-->vines and so on. i dont have a problem with my spell choice, but the speed of touch itself as well as the breath cool-down. i understand that it takes a lot of energy but being a druid who is involved in lava and many other fights where group heal is a necessity, i feel as though it takes a bit too long and i dont use meditate, i have 330+ sigils which normally hold up just fine. but many druids have problems with their energy and thats what im more worried about.

Well..

No issue with Touch being over max'd most people's is.

If yer solo, you should be able to cast 2 offensive spells before you re-touch, like Touch>Vines/Lightning>Touch>Storm/Wind>Touch etc.. However you fight, that's just how I do.

If yer talking group healing...then yeah I would really really really reconsider over-max'ing both healing spells. That is a specific choice you are making to get maybe 50 more points of Grp healing for close to 150 energy casted. That's a specific choice yer making to be an energy goddesses. And fine, with 330+ sigils, you have the right to make that choice if you so wish it

But it's an extreme choice and you will pay for it in energy.

well im definitely more concerned about my group members staying alive then my energy consumption worst comes to worst ill take points out of some skill and throw them in meditation. hehe but once again, thank you for the advice

oh and about being solo, i meant being a solo healer if there's no other druids around for a boss fight i only throw lightning in if i have a couple extra seconds. im almost all focused on my healing ability
