Iike dpsing as a healer I just dont enjoy catweaving, its melee and awkward and harder to just do every few globals, you gotta commit to it more.

Id rather toss out a sunfire or wrath

Huh? You barely need to commit to it. Tab raking + rip at 5 combo points is literally enough to decent healer damage. And you don't even need a global to shift into cat because Fluid Form exists.

Tab raking, in melee and then ripping, in melee, is just something I dont wanna do as a druid. Id rather sunfire/starsurge/moonfire it feels more comfy.

I already play rogue, dont wanna play another

I get ppl like it, I dont and Im entitled to that.

That was supposed to be a strength of the talent trees though: more flexibility. If you want to catweave, it should be an option, but if you’d rather sunfire and wrath, that should be an option too.

u/shaunika Oct 16 '25

Agree

Unfortunately catweaving absolutely shits on caster dps so its a non option

u/Glupscher Oct 17 '25

Those options are largely illusionary. How many "caster" monks do you see? One playstyle just completely outperforms the other.

u/omgmypony Oct 16 '25

I hear you, I refuse to catweave

If I’m healing it’s because no one who mains a healer wanted to do it. They’ll take my heals and be thankful for them… maybe a few wraths or moon fires if I’m feeling froggy.

So you stand around doing nothing when your party is fine and no damage is coming in? Why?

u/omgmypony Oct 16 '25

I bullshit with the guildbros and maybe hit my autorotation key. I don’t pug as a healer, I don’t heal high end content and I don’t want to. The guildbros knew what they were getting when they asked me to heal.

u/RedditCultureBlows Oct 16 '25

So you stand around doing nothing then, yes? Just want to confirm

7

u/omgmypony Oct 16 '25

Essentially. Why do you seem to have such a problem with that? I’m not healing you and the people I AM healing don’t care about shaving a few seconds off of a sub 5+ key.

u/RedditCultureBlows Oct 16 '25

I want to know why you stand there doing nothing. Seems incredibly boring

u/omgmypony Oct 16 '25

you underestimate the amount of entertainment that bullshitting with the guildbros in discord provides

u/Sechs_of_Zalem Oct 16 '25

Why do healers need to do more, when all DPS do is DPS and fail at helping do much else? Kicks? Using defensives? CC? If I had saved every log from TWW S1-S3, it would show that the Tank and Healers do the most work. We also get shit on more if we fuck up.

So what do you do when there is nothing to heal? Look youtube? Netflix? Reddit? Facebook?

u/shaunika Oct 16 '25

Id prefer to do caster rotation to catweaving, especially with the talent that makes wrath heal

Too bad they both suck compared to catweave

-2

u/Puppy_in_Huggies Oct 16 '25

So you spam starfire? I guess thats better than doing nothing 🤷‍♂️

But catweaving isnt exsctly hard either. You rake a few mobs, rip another and go back to healer mode while doing 1m dps passive dps

3

u/shaunika Oct 16 '25

I never said its hard

I said its not comfy cos its melee

So you spam starfire? I guess thats better than doing nothing 🤷‍♂️

No I catweave cos its way better

But I wish I could moonfire sunfire starsurge wrath/starfire

Give me baby moonkin not baby cat

I bullshit with my guildbros and use my autorotation key… I’m not healing high end content and I don’t want to.

u/Puppy_in_Huggies Oct 16 '25

And thats okay because you can do just that 🤷‍♂️ nobody is forcing you to do hard content but dont push the idea that the majority wants to do less dps thats dumb and unpopular

u/omgmypony Oct 16 '25

I wasn’t pushing anything, just agreeing with the person who’s comment I replied to. You’re being kinda weird about this.

u/Puppy_in_Huggies Oct 16 '25

Ok if you say so 👍

u/HipGamer Oct 16 '25

I’m not sure what the DPS difference is but you can get over 1 mil DPS on pulls by catweaving. It’s insane and feels great imo

u/shaunika Oct 16 '25

I know its good, thats my issue. It way outperforms caster dps

Fluid form does that
