Impressions Solicited: Spell Haste (4)

Runycat
The only druid who’s had any luck with spell haste in our raid set up is our Moonglow/Dreamstate healer. I can’t personally comment on the effectiveness, but if you’re rocking a ToL build, I’m not sure how viable stacking spell haste really is. One thing’s for sure–I’d never stack it as a crutch over other stats. In addition to the items out of ZA, there are a number of haste-stacked items out of BT as well, most notably: Shroud of the...

Thorgrim
Another good reason to look at spell haste is if you, like me, are druid-healing-challenged and have trouble maintaining even a 3 character triple stack; spell haste gives you a lot more room for error.

True, you would run out of mana fast Miyra, but the situation proposed in the email is not the average case. For runs like ZA where there are only two tanks, this allows you to squeeze off more raid heals in between keeping lifebloom up. One of my biggest annoyances with ZA is the spirit bolts that Hex Lord Macaroni dishes out to everyone. Usually tossing one rejuv on each person keeps them alive, but unless I start those early, I only get 6 or so off, relying on the other healers, and...

Miyra
While it is definitely true that the healing output afforded by having 5 GCD’s available for tanks is amazing, I don’t think it could be sustained for very long. You are looking at a minimum of 880 mana per cycle if you just used Lifebloom. At that rate you would burn through 10,000 mana in ~57 seconds. Even figuring in a full mana bar’s worth of innervate and chain potting you would be out of tricks in 2 and a half…maybe 3 minutes max.

Grats! I’ve been religously doing my fishing quest each day and have yet to get a baby croc! I’m sure Toothy is just as happy to be your pet as you are at having him. :)

@Tone: Ohhhhh! Okay! Yes, that must be the reference. I only vaguely remember the monster hugging on poor Bugs. But I’ll never forget the line. (Okay, I Googled it to get it exactly right. Same thing!) :-D

Tone
Re: Abominable Snowdruid Oh, I had just thought that your words were a reference to the Abominable Snowman from Bugs Bunny (”My own little bunny rabbit! I will name him George, and I will hug him, and pet him, and squeeze him….”). I was concerned for little Toothy’s safety, at the hands of an over-enthusiastic new owner! ;-)

Mooire
Grats!!! I’ve religiously been doing the fishing quest and have yet to get a Croc pet! They’re so cute with their big green eyes. :)

I worked for Microsoft (not in Windows or in IE) so I might be biased the other way but I believe the IE differences are not really that sinister. IE 6 is a pretty old browser, it was released in 2001. A lot of the CSS standards were relatively young at the time, and CSS support in other browsers wasn’t stellar either. IE 7.0 improved on CSS support from IE 6.0, it’s just that other modern browsers had more releases and improved more during the same period of time. Ironically...

It’s centered now, and there is a tree looking out from behind the central column. So GJ, have a cookie :)
