Short answer.

No.

Long answer.

No, why do ask as that seems to be a very weird question. What are you trying to do?

More information please.

I think you are trying to do something with this talent. It is a PvP talent that is honestly quite outdated and one of the few truly craptastic talents in the tree.

The restobear is a bad idea. Hilarious but bad. Restocat is just as bad but not as funny.


Just remembre the laws of druid:

1)Cat durids is for 4 fite
2)Bare durids 4 tank
3)Moonkin 4 moon stuff
4)Tree durid is 4 heel

It's only outdated if you're not using D1 or T1-T2 sets. I pvp with my t2 helm all the time!

I decided to try this talent for a bit, just to see if it would make my daily solo Anzu kill a bit less stressfull. Nope, it's not even worth it for solo play.

I disagree with you on this one. Feral spec'ed druids can heal. Though its obvious that they will never match restoration druids, and I doubt i will ever heal in a raid situation without respecing, when i heal five man instances, I do just fine. I often have 3k more mana then priest, and almost never run out of it. My only problem is dealing with burst damage. The extra healing from nurturing instinct helps with that (i'm assuming its about 200 or so spellpower on healing spells at 260 agility, but I don't know if it helps enough for me to keep it. Anyway, because it is so ignored, I've been experimenting with makeing it more viable.

One thing I know from experience is, for doing five mans, Bears heal just fine, if you measure success in completing the instance efficiently. further, being able to fill all three slots in a five man, allows me to get into parties very quickly which is always a plus for trying to gear up. When I get into more hardcore stuff like endgame content, well, then I agree I will have to spec the branch for the job.

I am missing the earlier iterations of the game though, were all armor didn't look the same, and druids didn't seem to be cornered to spec for only one narrow purpose. but that's a topic for a different post.

Your mana pool is soley dependant upon your intellect. So if you have more than a priest, it's probably because you have more int gear on, besides, I know a lot of priests who have more mana than I do as boomkin.

Bears heal just fine, that is correct. I wouldn't say heroics or raids, but normal instances while leveling, yes. However, not in agi gear! You'll run out of mana after 4 regrowths. You need to wear the same thing you would if you were resto, so this talent won't help you.

You mean regular five mans I am guessing and not heroics.

I could heal regular five mans in resto gear while leveling also and I didn't take NI.

In the early days all druids were resto and spec'd for healing. If they didn't they had a lucky situation and still spec'd for a narrow purpose. Even if it was in multi trees it was likely a BG based thing other wise just about the same as now.

Pre BC at least everyone said you had to spec resto, but feral's were still there, and again, we did fine.

"Pre BC" is very vague, really. There was a time when Resto was the only viable spec, then Feral and Balance became decent, but still very lackluster in comparison with pretty much any other class. The specs were fine for leveling and stuff, but for raids you pretty much had to be Resto.

From the launch of the game to when BC launched, the closer you get to BC the more "just fine" Feral was, but it certainly never has been as good as it is now. (Where "now" is a rather wide period of time covering most of post-BC)

You know that little smiley, the one with the academic hat on and holding the scroll?
If I could do that I would.

But I admit I cheated and remembered it's in the Resources section.

My first character in wow was within a couple of months after the game came out. Feral was very fun back then because you could surprise people constantly. Also, since the top tier feral wasn't appetizing, talenting involved more then a race to the top and there was more then just two effective ways to do it. Also, the only other ferals were very methodical. That's all.

However I dropped NI as per Horsemouth's suggestion. However, doesn't anyone else see a talent that seems very bad, that no one will ever touch, and see how to make it work, to use it with something or in some combination that invents a new way to do things? That was the original charm of feral druids, to take something almost no one thought was good, and make it good. Anyway, who knows; It may just be the way that blizzard moved on the druids, or maybe i just didn't notice that it was always that way, but it seems like the forums are reflecting a class that is becoming more about what not to use or not to do. That's all.

If they changed NI to affect the heal received by imp LotP, then it might be worthwhile for solo and pvp, but as it is now it's pretty much crap.

If you wan't a rarely taken talent for feral, go with genesis in the balance tree. I believe it affects our bleed effects as well. I have to say that you get more bang for you buck with other talents though.

Edit: I stand corrected. I haven't tested the genesis talent, i just read a post someplace and believed it :)

Genesis doesn't affect bleeds. If it did it would be a huge feral DPS talent.

NI isn't really crap for PvP.

If i look at 2vs2-Arena:
- Your 700+heal can save yours and your partners ***. (it did for me)
- Take an addon like outfitter to equip a healer-weapon for caster-form and you are at 1200 +heal.
Pretty nice in arena when it gets rough.
- If u play feral+healer u wont need to go out of catform, because with +20% healing on you in catform,
your healer can hold you up against almost any other class.


Every high-rating druid has it. You just need to know how to use your heals effectively in pvp!

Its not about taking NI and trying to make it a decent talent and worth two points. Its about gimping yourself somewhere else for a situation you will seldom see. PvP is probably the only place where I could see this talent being worth anything.

If you are wanting to heal with a feral spec from time to time, thats fine. But chances are that you will not be doing it in your feral gear. Because like others have stated, your mana pool will be squat. Thus making this talent completely usless for a feral trying to heal the occasional 5-man with his resto-set which has no agility.

If you are in end-game content, reguardless of spec, then there are just much better places to spend two talents points.
