Liflebloom questionFollow

Correct, the final heal is threat for the tank; but Lifebloom is inefficient mana-wise in that regard, as the final heal is a fixed value that is unmodified by your +heal, and it can never crit. Lifebloom's real strength is in the stackable HoT, particularly when stacked with your trinket(s), as the extra +heal on the trinkets persists as long as you maintain the stack.

Don't go out just yet and blow yer cash or badges on on-use +heal trinkets with the intent of trinket rolling a stack of lifeblooms - this no longer works on the PTR. Here's the link to the O-Board thread:

Lifebloom indeed helps with the threat as the final healing part is added to the targets threat, making it great for adding threat to the tank and not so great for party members whose threat is getting close to the tank's threat.

Whereas I agree that stacking lifebloom and keeping the HoT part rolling gives nice continious healing stream, I do use the final healing part if i see the target needs the big heal in the end.

I am afraid Norellicus is not correct in stating that the final part is fixed (at the 600 healing).

Did some research to give get the numbers exact: Both the HoT part and the final heal part of lifebloom profit from the +healing albeit in different coefficients. The HoT part takes about 51% of the +healing and the final part almost 43%. This makes my lifebloom final effect (I am at around +1500 +healing unbuffed) usually heal for close to 1300. It seems even able to crit as I have seen regular final heals from my lifeblooms of around 1900.

Rolling lifebloom with insane amount of +healing was completely overpowered. Granted, not always easy to do, but could easily allow a crappy-gear druid to do isnane amount of healing, or an already-good druid to do even more. On the Sharhaz trash, due to one of their spells, I've heard of people rolling a 1900-per-tick lifebloom for over 20 minutes. There's no way you can claim that's fair and balanced.

Yes, it can. I've critted myself for about 1300 a bunch of times, just running around Org (fall damage FTL).
