		<description>Redo this analysis for 2.4 and I think you&#039;ll find BoK is better than imp. wisdom for 2 reasons:

1) for well geared priests / druids you just plain get more total regen + you get stam too.
2) for less well geared priests / druids, well, there is so much of a boost to regen in 2.4 that I would consider the stam boost from BoK as more valuable than a small amount of extra regen.</description>

		<description>The second graph above takes into account the increase to Spirit which affects the mana return from an Innervate every 6 minutes. The +Healing from 1/4 the Spirit value isn&#039;t considered, but even at 600 Spirit, you&#039;d only be deriving 15 +Healing from the addition of BoK.</description>

		<description>When you take into account that spirit gives bonus healing to tree and the spirit increase, is BoW still worth it over BoK?</description>

		<description>@Ves: Well, because the point being that it&#039;s rare to pull aggro on a boss fight so Salvation doesn&#039;t really matter in that case. On the other hand, if I get in trouble a Paladin can heal me for extra. Really in those cases, I only care if I have my Wisdom and my Kings, but I do see your point. =)</description>

		<description>Bell copied this article into my guild forum too. I commented about:
&gt;&gt;Boss Fights: Wisdom, Kings, Light 
but she didn&#039;t see it or didn&#039;t have a reply. So, do you?

I can&#039;t think any way Blessing of Light is useful for a tree druid. It will increase the heals FROM the paladin TO the druid. It does not increase the druid&#039;s heals. If it&#039;s a paladin tank, they won&#039;t heal the healer. If it&#039;s a paladin healer, paladins can&#039;t group heal at all so probably you won&#039;t get a heal from them because they are focusing on their target. So, why do you ask for Light? My opinion is Salvation is absolutely better for a tree druid.</description>

		<description>@Nebelmond: Haha. Glad you enjoy the math posts! It can be really hard to think of things to number crunch (that aren&#039;t so abstract as to be impossible).

@Graylo: I understand that most DPSers often need to prioritize Salvation over any other Blessings. Luckily, we healers only rarely have aggro issues. I wouldn&#039;t have thought about Moonkin using Might, but that&#039;s an interesting point. Maybe you could determine the MP5 contribution of the additional AP based on your swing timer. That would be really interesting!

@Treibh: You make good points on all those threat-based encounters. Unfortunately, the only one I&#039;ve seen has been Maulgar, and threat is certainly a problem with the Fel Pups. We generally station one Warlock with our tank/Mage healers and one with the DPS healers for just such an occassion. But thank you for this list; it will be helpful when we DO attempt those bosses. =)

@Zackoria: Interesting point about having too much MP5. I wish I knew what that were like!

@Bellwether: You are very welcome, Bell. Thank you for sending it in. Questions like these are a great source of blog topics so I don&#039;t have to wrack my brain (or put up a piece of Featured Artwork)!</description>

		<description>Aw. I got a mention. ^^ Thanks for answering my question so long ago; I passed it on to my Guild Leader and he&#039;s never had to ask me again. Just one little thing to help runs go a bit more smoothly. Pally buffs can get really confusing!</description>

		<description>This can allso depend alot on your own Mp5. Ushually during allmost any raid i prefur kings or salv over wisdom since i never run out of mana anyway (i have WAY too much Mp5 &gt;.&lt;). Alot of these kinds of choices are allways situational depending on your healing technique, your own Mp5, what fight or fights you are encountering and how many pallys are in the raid.

BTW kudos on the charts, i allways love the breakdowns. Thanks! ^_^</description>

		<description>As usual I agree - great post! I think you should expand on your * regarding boss fights though. For resto druids there are actually a decent number of boss encounters in 25-man raiding that have one or more of:

1. A requirement to heal through a threat reset
2. Adds that spawn that you are in danger of aggroing (i.e. may not easily be picked up)
3. A tricky threat-sensitive pull

I&#039;ve only got experience through the front half of the T6 zones, but I prefer salv second after wisdom for at least Maulgar, Hydross, Morogrim, Vashj, Al&#039;ar, and Akama. You&#039;re pretty much wanting salv second for all of Hyjal except Archimonde with the bosses following the trash. Sure, an intervene from a tank might save you - from an add anyway - but I&#039;d rather not have to rely on that.

Normally we have 3 or 4 paladins in our raids so it doesn&#039;t matter, but we&#039;ve run with 2 before and I think it is worth knowing which buffs you&#039;ll want for which fights.</description>

		<description>This haw always been a fairly easy choice for me. I just have to ask one question. Do I need mana? 

As a moonkin I proritize the pally buffs this way.
Raid/boss: Salvation, Wisdom, Kings, Might, Light.
Instance/Trash: Salvation, Kings, Wisdom, Light, Might

Salv is always my first choice since threat is always an issue otherwise. Second I would take wisdom in a raid because I am usually almost out of mana at the end. In instances I take kings because the fights arn&#039;t long enough for mana to be an issue. Lastly, In raids I lke Might over Light for the rare occation that I use the Moonkin Melee for Mana mechanic.</description>
