Nice! I can't wait to give this a try. About time Druids got some kinda of damage cd

Comment by Bonellia

This spell looks it has its ideal cooldown. No violation and not any imbalanced effects would be observed in PvP also. I hope they keep this cool down as 3 minutes.

Comment by Jasott

There is 1 tiny tiny problem with this ability.... when a healer queued restoration druid makes it into the top 5 in recount in a 10 man, or top 10 in a 25 man due to their heals (especially the uber, instant less than 100 life to full life, heals) on tanks that are constantly taking damage. If a resto takes this ability they might as well as queue as a dps in raid finder.

Comment by junkseer

It is a 30 second buff, with a 3 minute cooldown. my impression is, it would be ideal for helping out on burn phases, or these last moments when the boss is close to dieing but the raid lost some people and more dps is needed. Besides, druid single target healing is quite fine, but it's not the only thing we do, so we will only be able to utilise this talent if the raid isn't taking much damage, except for the tanks.
So, what we are seeing from level 90 talents so far, is the idea of customisation coming to life, same as in other tiers. You choose whichever ability suits your playstyle better, be it an extremely powerful 6 minute cooldown effectively turning you into a character with a different specialisation for the duration, a powerful 3 minute cooldown, allowing you to improve your performance in the current role while having a bit of added damage/healing, or a once per 30 second passive that works a bit like resto druid mastery, only in this case, your heaing benefits from damage and, likewise, your damaging spells get a boost whencast after a healing one.

Comment by junkseer

The only question remains, what effect this will have on Tranquility, and how good this talent will be for burn phases/dps when used together with ToL regrowth spam or something similar

Comment by Nikeyeia

This is a good choice. Both Hybridization AND Spec-specific bonuses. That's everything we want.
This could turn out to be very good for some encounters. Converting a boomkin into an atonement-priest for the healing-heavy phase, for example.

Comment by dwarfmasterr

Ok, if you look at this from a level 90 resto druid point of view, you can probably pull off around what... 100-200k heals right?
It increases healing done by 30%, so let's say you would normally do 200k with a heal, well you would do 260k with this. Then 50% of that is done to nearby enemies as damage. So 130k right there. If you cast all your haste buffs and cooldowns, you could have healers doing around 75k dps every 3 minutes or so.

Comment by Deedman

Not sure about wording (single-target damage spells and abilities) but would this potentially work in feral forms with melee damage?

If so, I see this being my choice of talents at level 90. I can't see myself shifting out of form during a tanking session to throw some heals, so that means both Dream of Cenarius and Heart of the Wild are a bit lacklustre. Possibly healing another melee dps or potentially myself seems much more powerful in that case.

Comment by coprinus

This skill would, by chance, affect druid mangles while in Berserk? While it hits 3 targets with heavy damage, it is still considered a single target spell.While there are at least 3 targets, the berserk dps is awesome. It means that this talent will turn our bear berserks in a healing CD too? =D

Comment by Gershuun

This cooldown is off the GCD and at the time of this post, a 3 minute cooldown that conveniently lines up with Celestial Alignment, Berserk, and Incarnation: Tree of Life

Also for those wondering this ability also works exceptionally well with Guardian Druid's Berserk Mangle spamming, healing three times per Mangle, providing a ton of extra healing.

Comment by Fouiller

With patch 5.1 will come the Brawler's Guild, which (please correct me if I'm wrong) is a way to test your strength 1v1 in a tough pve battle. I play a guardian dru and can see this ability coming in very handy as one more tool to use to stay alive while ~~slashing my opponents in the face~~ smoting their ruin upon the mountain-side. Yes plz.

Comment by HobDawgh

Breaks CC, as polymorph, when healing.

Comment by Axebeard

I'm not convinced and I'm going to need to test it a bit more, but it seems like Nature's Vigil during its duration may cause heals from the Dew of Eternal Morning on the Timeless Isle to cause damage to a nearby target.

Comment by Ogion

Doesn't work properly for restor on Malkorok. Your heal is still increased by 12%, but you won't get 25% bonus heal. So HoTW is better for rdruid on this boss.

Comment by sparlock42

Accidentally discovered you can damage enemies of the opposing faction in guarded areas with this without the guards caring by healing yourself near them.

I saw a restoration druid destroy all of Gurubashi Arena by using this and healing the level 85 quest giver Stone Guard Towhide in WoD prepatch. What a world we live in.
