So last night I was about 10 minutes late for the raid, which I told the raid leader I would be so my spot was taken for HToC 25. Well we don't tolerate DC's and such and one of our resto druids dc'd three times so they decided to replace her with me.
Now I've got plenty of experience healing I did it all in BC and I've healed a few key fights for us in t7/t8. I always try to keep up on my resto skills with the latest builds, talents and such. I've heard mixed things about Revitalize so I decided to test it out a few months ago but it was pushed to the wayside.
Well since I was healing last night I still had revitalize in my talent build, which is a pvp build btw, and I figured this is a great time to test it out!
So for three hours I compiled data with recount showing me how much regeneration it had.
I don't have the numbers in front of me but from what I can remember atm.
Anywhere from 2-5% of mana regeneration on any given raid members. Average was about 5000-10000 mana per person over the course of the 10 tries.
For DK's it was around 90% of the rune power regeneration. I spiked at about 1000 rp regen on the best and 600 on the lowest.
For warriors the rage regen was kinda low. Somewhere around like 200 per warrior. We only had three.
And for our non existant rogues but one feral druid! His energy regen was about 500 for the tries.
Now, I've looked at about 6 resto druids in the various top guilds. Exodus, Angry (all be cause of RP) and Premonition and noticed they all take it. But it seems that our resto druids don't.
I'm looking for feedback from you other raiding resto druids about revitalize. I personally think its an amazing talent and you can fit it into any possible build you want.
