Why not max nature breath?

Hi all,

I've been reading this for a little time now, and I saw some posts saying that Nature Breath was useless. Why? I thought it was like a "mini nature touch (for grp)", isnt that cool?

I love natures breath and have mine near maxed. It's really only useful once you hit high levels though like 120+ and come across bosses with AOE's. Especially on lava floor

Yeah only max it if you are a higher level, other than that I would recommend not doing it.

It's an awesome skill. Really awesome. However it's a btch for energy. Uses about double what touch does at max lvl from memory. Handle with care

half the heal and double the energy cost...but can heal up to 8 people, so technically thats 4x natures touch at 2x cost. It works out nicely.

Its also really handy for group kills on bosses who use cloak.

extra group and high heal, i dont see why its useless
my druid is only lvl 73 but my breath is maxed and its 322-323, when touch is around 770, its almost half of it with no breath rings

I would call a fan in a hurricane useless, but on a hot tepid summer day a lifesaver.

It's not about the spell being useless, its about the situation and the likelihood that the situation will reoccur to make the spell useful for you... And thus designing a build for the situations as you find them occurring more or less as you level.

The fact is only some of the upper tier red bosses with cloaks, and OW Bosses/Mobs that actually use AoE's and such, as well as OW lava etc make the spell a truly legitimate choice for the endgame Druid. But for the beginning game and mid game Druids, its literally like bringing a fan to a hurricane, other than going full support and heal-botting because you can either double box or always partner with a dps to level...a lower level character with so much points in a group only spells are completely gimping themselves solo and their leveling speed.

Many other Druids would simply say wait for the higher level to invest in it, but if you wish to depend on others exclusively for leveling, then go for it. Just is a tad bit needy, for me in terms of efficient leveling.

well about depending others, i am a pure healer, and i dont lvl my druid much so it helps for bosses, when i need i change builds. atm as long as i dont lvl him, or mostly when i lvl my partners r high lvls , i need breath
when a friend of mine which is lvl 130 wanna lvl with my druid, when hes usually lvl with someone who got around 1000 heal, breath gives me the missing heal, with 770 touch, around 250 bark (not maxed yet), 90 embrace, this 323 heal helps a lot
but mostly for bosses, i change it to wind sometimes when i lvl

I love it my heals 720 atm i will make 50/50 atm is 42/30 And see if goes to 1k yes used a alot energy but its worth especially with low hp teamates .

This skill is really usable for training groups , when you can heal all targets and 720 its alot for a whole group is idol saver .

I will not recomend you to use a lower lvls becasue cost insane amount of energy but over all is usable skill.
