Ok fellow Druids, chime in with your opinions please. Which is better?

Right now I am leaning towards the book for the extra focus it gives, it will help my heals...
The orbs are nice for the evasions, but I really don't solo anymore..

It depends on playstyle. I think the orb would be great for solo druids. The book would be better for group druids, but, as Teaweasel discussed before the update, focus benefits to spell power is not linear. The higher we raise our focus, the less each five raises of focus will improve spell power, so, for me as example, I have 610 focus, will an additional100 focus add much to my spell power? How about compared to a druid with 300 focus?

It's a good point. It's hard to judge the diminishing return of what that much focus does to you, and asking to borrow it from someone would be um...too scam oriented to take seriously, unless you've kidnapped their family and are using them for leverage to get it back.

My build wasnt high focus, it was kinda 3:2 Focus/Vit like 2k HP. Since i solo at times. I had 400 focus, I got the carbonated red book(Master's Grim) to raise it to 500. It gave me a good amount of bonus to multiple spells, around 50 to my Touch, 12 to my Breath. My DMG spells are doing sickly more DMG, especially my vines. But the nicest change is my wards, they are raising by many more resist/skill point. I still am hybrid but I am healing and operating like I'm a focus Druid.

I can't give good advice here. The 15 regen is great. But 300k is a sick price, all I can tell you is if you do buy it after tons of gold farming, you won't be depressed, it's a legitimate caster epic offhand.

I have also been troubled with this question. Ive thought alot about both and decided to go with the masters book (100 focus) in my opinion its completly about your level and build. First off if you are a big time plat spender than the book is definatly what you need because its easier to buy quite a few sigils then spend that much for 15 regen. Also the fact that my build is a complete heal build. Although the only reason that im a complete heal druid is because i stopped training. Once a druid hits their certain level where they say im satisfied with my level and dont want to spend more plat on elixers then its time to help out your clan or friends and go heal mode. What i have noticed about the orb is that it is PERFECT for training solo. The perks of the orbs are quite amazing even though they cost quite a bit. If your want a full regen inventory equipped then this is what you need because regen honestly wont do you well in a boss fight where your relying on 40-50 energy per tick for your 200 energy natures breath because its essential to have meditate while regening during boss fights. But that 40-50 energy can be the solution the the extra energy you need to get your last heal in while soloing something. And while 20 energy and those perks are great if your pretty much a maxed out druid and your just healing at boss fights for your clan then the book can influence your heal a great amount. Im at the point where all i want is my frozen wep at 125 and once i get there im done untill the next update. I have decided on buyin the other regen items for an extra boost and the book for a kick in my heal. I hope this has given you some insight on this topic.

Good input guys, but I am still undecided...

I am currently lvl 118 and I have 130 sigils and heroic ammy. I am rocking diamond robes, legs, golves, and icon, cosmic cowl, and glacial boots. I do not use med at all during boss fights. The skills i have maxed are vines, lightning, storms touch, natures touch and like 12 in embrace. I am still set up for dps from double xp weekend, but I plan on using a rebirth when I get grp heal and more wards, the only ward I have now is assassins and I do have abundant aura.
My energy bar stay full as long as I am just healing. Right now I am focused on boss fights but I would like to get my toon to lvl 130 eventually. I have 5str, 40dex, 135vit, and the rest in focus. I am healing for 796 currently. I do not yet have my group heal spell as I am waiting to get blue bindings and cover.
I do not have an offhand right now or any bracelets...
Decisions, decisions...

In terms of the Orbs...

My issue with them is the terminology.

+100 spell evasion is NOT +100 Warding.

Have you ever noticed that? Warding fuels the Spell Evasion Resistance, but one point doesn't equal one point in each.

I wish we could figure out exactly how much that is helping you.

Just a note. Pre ow-lux update, i increased my focus from 500 to 600. Nature touch went from 1049 to 1093. So thats only 44 hp more for touch. If i were to get Master's Grimoire book. The 700 focus probably will only be abt 40 to 42 more hp heal on touch. Not sure the difference it will make for my other spells but personally I dont think its worth it for 300k . If you wan better heals, the 300k yr prepared to spend may be better worthwhile to buy royal rings that you come across? Just a opnion. Different play styles really

I would rather get the orb or shield. More worthy for that price. Also, shield may or may not be better than orb - + 50 more evasion & + 150 armour more but it weights 30kg which will cut yr energy and zero energy regen.

The book seems more worthy for low levers rather than high levels. Pity really.
Would love to get more feedback on this post. Esp ppl who bought the orb

What i did arind that level was put myself just how i am now. Complete heal. I realized that to gain levels the best xp is by being in a group and healing group members while everyones on pot at dragonthalls because the fire nesses up my meditate. But group heal is exrenly usefull so i suggest that you train in a group and a group heal build will also benefit you at boss fights more then if your trying to attack the boss because thats not what druids are ment for.

Managed to borrow the book from a frd. Note this is from 605 focus to 705:
Natures Touch: 42 hp
Natures Breeze: 5 hp per tick
Natures Breathe: 12 hp
Vines: 22 dmg
Lighting Strike: 23 dmg
Wards: 18 to 22 (cant remember)

Will leave it to you all whether it is worth to get 300k book. Arent for me tho
