I got about 10 Hearts of the Wild in 30 minutes, and a bunch of other herbs to sell at the AH for some money (Fadeleaf, Gromsblood, Blindweed, Swiftthistle) plus lots of Savage Frond and Un'goro Soil that also sold out for some coin. I did circuits through the northern and north eastern parts of the crater, killing all Tar beasts (The ones wiscalico named above) and all flower-type monsters (, , ). I got very good results from farming in Un'goro Crater. The point I'm trying to get across is that HotW variations of druid builds are not recommended if you're aiming for end-game raiding (this also answers one of OP's initial questions).Comment by Spitti3I farmed these for levelling up my JC at level 60, so Dire Maul was not an option. I'm sure it's easier to play fun specs if you're an officer, like your signature states that you are. Most serious guilds will not accept oddball specs (I'm not evaluating the fairness of this, just stating facts). An important aspect is managing to find a raidspot with a non-optimal build if you want to do anything other than the occasional MC pug. As you stated earlier in this thread druids have pretty bad talents overall, so the impact isn't as big as other classes' hybrid builds. But it's not such a compromise that it doesn't work at all. However the HotW build is truly capable of decent healing and tanking for all content, which is pretty cool.

The only thing you're really missing out on, are 9% mana reduction from Moonglow, and +10% Healing from Gift of Nature. * Nature's Swiftness is not, as someone suggested, a PvP talent. If all you do is spam HT rank 3/4 for an entire fight, you're (probably) not reaching your full potential. * Regarding the 'druids going oom'-discussion you can always push yourself harder.

The increased crit of Regrowth is, together with 5 pc T2, also pretty sick. The main advantage of full resto is Swiftmend. * When it comes to the good ol' 24/0/27 vs full resto discussion, they're both viable but use different playstyles. If you have Theorycraft you can see how much more mana/crit you'd get with HotW.

Heart of the wild spec wow
