Rejuvenation – Usually does 20-30% of healing. Doesn’t require a whole lot of thought, but if you are careless with it all you’re going to get is a whole lot of overheal and run yourself down. Takes 12 seconds to complete the heal. (the bulk of the healing done by a targeted, single-target heal). In DB world an unblocking post possibly with a few 2x4s.
Wild Growth – Usually does 20-30% of healing. Requires next to no thought. It is random happenings, joyous and immediate. Arises from reading a posting on another's thread or researching a resource, a book recommendation followed up or a TED talk. Used by lurkers who appy the views on anothers thread to their own sitch. Takes 7 seconds to complete the heal and 7 years to undo a bad one.
Tranquility – Usually does 10-20% of healing. No thought required. In the breaks between posting.
Swiftmend (both components) – Usually does 10-20% of healing. Swiftmend often involves making a choice. Do I refill the tank who’s dipping low and end up with the ground effect only healing 1 person? Or do I SM someone who doesn’t really need it, but is standing in a group of people? Placement of the ground heal important, but so is the ability to use it reactively for an instant, large heal. Posting a view on a popular thread or to an unvisited poster?
Lifebloom – Healing really depends on fight and assignment. Can do 5% of total healing, can do 20%. Can be proactively and reactively swapped around to whoever needs to most. Needs to be refreshed often. Taking action in RL.
Wild Mushrooms – Again, healing depends on feeling. Isn’t used at all on some, can make up 20% of healing on others (really only on one other fight though). Need to be positioned properly, need to be charged fully, need to be used at the right time, and you can’t get out of range of them. One of the trickier spells to use. For DBers a Directed post means something only to the recipient.
Regrowth/Healing Touch – Usually makes up about 5-8% of healing. Requires decent reaction/timing. A long time between the post and the reaction.
Illuminated Healing – This can make up 50% of healing done. And it’s completely passive. Using time to heal and waiting too long before action. A light bulb moment or realisation. DUH,
Priest talents – Instant, only one of them requires a target (and the target really doesn’t matter because it likes to bounce to people really far away). Hit a button and watch your raid take half a million healing in 2 seconds. Confessional absolution
Circle of Healing / Light of Dawn – Sort of the equivalent of Wild Growth except they heal instantly so are less prone to overheal. They also trigger Illuminated Healing or Echo of Light for extra free healing. Group hugs and supportive posts
Prayer of Mending – Instant, super cheap, bounces around on its own! Subject to overpowered set bonuses. Poster heals self
Renewing Mist/Uplift – RM is just like Rejuv. And it generates secondary resource. And it spreads to extra targets by itself. Is the poster not doing enough on their own? Uplift for burst healing! Using the advice of a vet to move along faster.
Atonement – with a Guru, Master or Priest. Penance/Smite/Solace the boss for the whole thread and still outheal other healers with Atonement and Divine Aegis (especially on those who take more damage). Using a coach to move along faster.
Druids have their share of mindless healing That's us ordinary posters.
