How much of a pain is it to heal as a Druid/Warrior?

I am considering adding another healing class to my druid (already have scout & warden) if I ever see an expansion ticket happy hour. Other than the Awakening of the Wild buff (which would be the only reason I would do it if there is already a d/wd in the group), how good is a Druid/Warrior compared to D/S and D/WD? Do I need to use rage pots constantly to be effective?

I don't support 1 Server. I just like the Anagram - GOAT GRIP!

D/W is fine most endgame parties use a single d/w to heal everyone. D/wd is probably easier and D/S is easiest but most useless.

Nourish is a good skill to use on it as well (no rage cost, good to throw on tank)
If you really wanted to use healing wind (the only rage based heal) a single aoth cape is more than enough to power that for a bit, add in enraged for a little boost.

From my experience, I've used healing wind maybe twice in all the time I've had to heal on d/w

A real sysadmin knows how to change the time.
If you make the same mistake while trying to make up for the previous one, you are doing something wrong.

if you want to go d/w i would advise to get a 1h healing axe as you might run into a warrior party that will ask you to slash. as for healing, d/w has better tools then d/wd imo, shouldn't be an issue to keep ppl alive if you know what you are doing

Healing winds is for your party only (not the whole raid) and centered on you always.
Glory wand is like briar shield except u cant give it to others and it inc attack speed instead of def and the received healing inc is lower I think.
Only way Nourish would be better to give to tank than briar shield, is when the tank is the wd primary or secondary. briar shield does mother nature's fountain whenever you or the tank is struck every 8 sec... pretty sure your briar shield would do much higher healing than 10%...
unless you want to waste GCDs throwing around attacks that will iic ur wis by 3-15% or a chance to minimally inc in healing done by slash (I thought they fixed leaching attacks off of others? or was that only for rogues?), the rest of the elites are pretty useless. not to mention all of these extras (except slash) uses up nature power.

So I don't see how d/w has better tools for healing than d/wd...

This wasn't a question of d/w being a better healer than d/wd. They are asking how detrimental to healing the change would be for them as a healer.

sleze is probably going in to melee heavy parties and they want their awakening buff, not briar/mysterious grace. This way there is no need for a buff alt outside.

that's what I was pointing at when I said I did not see how d/w has better tools for healing than d/wd.

well druid wd only gets stronger heals vs druid with no secondary class as far as healing goes and it is relativly pointless where as d/w gets healing wind which tends to be more valuable coz it's more burst aoe heal. fact it is party is irrelevant since you can use a macro to swap groups fast. also, you do want to use slash once if you are in a warrior party since it increases the group's dps

not just increased healing, if u use briar shield on ur tank, that's another aoe heal every 8sec. there is healing ripple that heals 3 people at a time, there is spirit of life that heals every1 and does a full 100%+ healing over it's time period. there is also Gift Pulse, that heals 10% for every nature power u have immediately. and ofc briar shield actually inc ur pdef by 50%+ now at max.

Quoted from "pachat93"

you do want to use slash once if you are in a warrior party since it increases the group's dps

can u explain more? d/w elite on slash says that ur healing and rage regen will be inc not the whole party and I thought it was rogues that used to do more dmg based on the amount of bleeds on the boss. how would having another bleed on boss help inc warrior party dps?

for the dps explainationcurrently warrior/scout can do up to 20m per proc of tac attack during burn, you get 1 extra proc for every slash on your target. fast math you have 3 of those in party you just increase the damage in burn by 20 to 60m

for the healing explaination
although it looks good on paper, restoring everyone's hp to 100% is in practice the same as casting mother earth fountain or healing wind, but healing wind has a lower cooldown so it's better. same for life siprit, it's better to have the burst every 5 seconds then the regen. as for healing ripple personnally feel like it's not worth using since it cost natures power and the ripples are random thus unreliable, you have enough aoe heals already anyways with mother earth fountain and if d/w even more with healing wind.

Also allows for a patk buff to be inside the instance as going outside for buffs gets old fast. And every endgame party (on US severs) is currently patk based so it just makes sense to be d/w over d/wd for these endgame instances. For now

Healing Wind is usually pretty pointless because the healer is almost never in the party with all the important people. They're usually in the buff alt party, sometimes with the tank. Or with the less important dps.

it's the biggest pain in the arse to play. Every 2 mins you got some dumb *** melee dps that died on trash screaming "AOW AOW AOW AOW AOW AOW AOW FASPEE I NEED BUFFS AOW AOW AOW OMG I CANT DPS TRASH AOW AOW AOW AOW AOW AOW"

I regret ever picking up the stupid class and I cant stand to play it. I hate it with a passion and people annoy me to no end the entire time I play it.

What Faspee means to say is... There is no greater meaning to life than gracing the entire party with her presence and lovely buffs. ^.^

If you die on trash just wait until the boss and everyone can get buffed together. I promise you'll be alright without a few thousand patk on the trash.

That's what I tell them.

As for the difference between the two healing wise, it's not much. I find the only druid that you really have to get use to healing on is a D/R because you have no healing elites like the other druid combo's have. All the rest are literally the same in terms of "difficulty"

Thanks for the feedback all. WRT D/R, I'm a cheap bastard and won't go the distance to tier 2x 1h Hammers to make D/R worth it. I would consider just getting a fast 1-h Axe and use a slash/swap gear macro if I ever needed to help the w/s if/when I add Warrior.
