Fact

Changes: • Wild Growth: party HoT, short cooldown, front-loaded; 285 over 7s at rank shown; 43-yd party range • Swiftmend no longer consumes the HoT; moved earlier in tree; still requires active HoT • Gift of the Earthmother: -0.5s GCD on Rejuvenation, Swiftmend, Wild Growth (1s GCD) • HoT crits make crit gear more valuable • Reflection lets more spirit regen continue in combat Strengths: • Party HoT healing and very fast Rejuv->Swiftmend burst • Healing gear now has spell damage for questing • Good fit for 10-player content Weaknesses: • No Lifebloom, no Tree of Life form; players feel resto got fewer upgrades (Opinion)
