HoT's in Bear, Cat and Travel FormFollow

#1 Nov 29 2007 at 5:26 PM Rating: Decent
A friend of mine seems to think this is possible, I read the "READ THIS FIRST" and found nothing that answered the question. So, can druids heal themselves with Rejuve or Regrowth while in bear, cat or travel form? Thanks in advance!

hehe, absolutely not. Can you say OP? The only thing a bear can do is use Frenzied Regeneration which turns your excess rage into an effective HoT. This leads some people to believe it's possible. (the effect is visually identical to Rejuvenation and Regrowth)But rest assured that it is not possible. There are macros I would imagine that allow one to shift heal and shift back quickly but that's it.

If your asking if the HoT continues after you've shifted then yes(I generally heal myself with regrowth between fights because the HoT ticks for a little while after), but you can't cast them while in a form. If you hit the hotkey it shifts you out and casts it.

Using those named spells? No.
In cat or travel form? No.

He is almost surely thinking of the bear-only spell "Frenzied Regeneration" which you get at level 36. It converts rage into HP as a handy little HoT.

"Converts up to 10 rage per second into health for 10 seconds. Each point of rage is converted into 10 health."

At level 46 version the spell converts each point of rage into 15 health, level 56 into 20 health, and level 65 into 25 health.

I know the HoT continues after shapeshifting, but didn't know about the Frenzied Regeneration. Thanks guys for the quick reply!

*EDIT*

So my friend isn't convinced....because he says that they keep applying it cuz he has to keep purging it off them. Then he talks about the macro's and if they ignore the GCD. So are there any other tricks you guys can do while in Bear form? Anything to shut him up would be great...he swears they can do it...I dunno, he just doesnt believe me...lol. I'm just tired of him QQ'ing about it...

if you click the rejuv spell while in a form, you will instantly start casting it,
even before you visually appear as in caster form, and I guess this can be
used to make a macro to shift back,

_however_

casting any such spell will trigger the global cooldown of 1.5 seconds, and
leave you unable to shift into forms under that duration.

If it's not in fact frenzied regen he is talking about (which has a 3 minute
cooldown), macros can be used to instantly shift out->use pots/items/HS->shift back
making it look like they are used in forms, since they don't trigger GCD,
and also post-2.3 drums can be used while shapeshifted.
Other than that my guess he is either imagining things, or not paying close
enough attention.

Maybe there's a druid behind him healing the bear? We like to travel in packs.

Im pressing rejuv while in bear form..right.. NOW. And I automaticly go into casterform just like the 2.3 patchnotes said i would, when pressing a spell while in animal form. Your friend that plays a druid, does so while being high :D

You can cast. It only takes you to caster form before the cast starts. I think that he meant that before 2.3 you had to go to caster form and THEN cast the rejuv. Now, you press the rejuv button and it cancels the form automatically.

Yes, I do believe he probably means it switches forms automatically for you now. I really like this change. So far it's helped with both arena's and raiding, more so for the pvp aspect of the game. Switching from cat to bear to charge/bash something was never easier! And I run with another druid in 2v2 *while maybe not the BEST setup, we have fun with it*, so throwing an innervate or quick heal on him got a lot easier, too.
