Rabble Rabble, Bitches.

It's about time the Warriors stood up for our mighty morphin' tree friends. Have you seen the 2.4 nerfbat? Hitting Druids in the face again.

Sure, we can see this from a completely selfish point of view, and whine about how much harder this will make things on us...but Bellwether over at 4haelz is more than a little distraught over the whole thing...and when my healer is upset, I'm upset. The tanks feel me on this one.

In case you've missed what's up:
Tharfor - EU

'Lifebloom: the healing coefficient has been reduced.'

It easy to see why people would view this change as a nerf, but the truth is that the coefficient was already artificially inflated.

Resto druids are still very strong at what they do. I notice when I'm raiding with mine that I don't do very well on the healing meters, but that's just because of the way that druid healing works.

So easy to see, in fact, that Stevie Wonder himself could write my response. "Resto druids are still very strong at what they do"? And what is that now, exactly? You've turned them into a glorified renew. Way to go.

Your e-peen is what is artificially inflated.

And don't even get me started on what this does to PvP, with the change to the Gladiator 4-piece bonus. I mean, PvE is one thing, to be sure, but what's up with killing us all off in Arena? You did away with the "plate wall" (Pally/Warr) when you gave Warlocks the nigh-unkillable 300 resilience sl/sl build, and now when we've finally found a way to succeed (and by succeed we mean ride a healer to the 1600s), you're doing it again.

The only reason, good sir, that you:

...don't do very well on the healing meters...

Is that you are terribad.

I hope your next 500 arena matches are Pally/Warlock.

P.S. I swear to Arthas, if I have to get BACK on my holy Pally to heal my guild's Kara runs because you kicked my favorite healers in the teeth, I can and will eat your first born. Fair warning.
