Dreamstate

Tomorrow I will be respec'ing back to resto to do 25 man naxx, EoE, and OS. I am feeling the need to experiment once again with the resto dreamstate build. I will be using a build similar to this Dreamstate Build.

This will be the second time I have spec'd the dreamstate build. I am curious how it will do. Right now I am, may I dare say one of the better healers in the guild. But I want to try some different builds to see if I can boost my numbers from what the are already. And so that's why I am trying the dreamstate build this weekend. Currently I am not having any mana issues which is the expressed norm for decently geared healers at this point in the game, hence the nerf to mana regen that is coming. So I am looking at this build first of all to see how it does and if it improves my effective healing. After the mana nerf I might revisit for mana efficiency even if it proves to be less effective than my current build.

The first time I tried the dreamstate build I was just hitting heroics hard and was looking to boost my bonus heals as well as my mana regen. I felt that this build wasn't for me at the time because wild growth was just to awesome to give up. In a heroic which seemed to be usually melee heavy I could easier pop off a wild growth on the tank then one on the ranged. It was a time when wild growth had no CD and AoE heals were for the win. It being the start of my healing career I was just having problems keeping the tank up without rolling all my hots on them. So to be able to wild growth the tank meant that the melee would actually get a heal. This however is a thing of the past. And I feel that I didn't give the Dreamstate build a good enough chance to really see what it's made of.

EoE is the only raid that I feel I will be having feeling the loss of wild growth. Because it seems like the raid takes more AoE damage in Phase two but I have faith that it shouldn't be a problem. Then in naxx I might not top the meters on thaddius but that's an easy fight on the healers. And I am already weak at the loatheb fight compared to the other top healers in the guild that I feel my wild growth loss won't be an issue here either.

In general though I am excited to try Dreamstate again. When I tried to research it, I came across very few posts about the Dreamstate build at 80. This makes this glad to try to generate some press on the Dreamstate build may it be positive or negative. Look for a follow up post after testing it out this weekend.
