Druid is getting to the point where end game raids will become a large part of his time. I am planning on being a healer Druid but I still need to be able to solo things for small quests and farming. Any advice on must have and must not waste points on talents would be great. Going to work up a build for your dissection .

ok here is my attempt

Unspent talent points: 9


I am aiming to mainly be a healer with solo ability(hence the feral)...have thought about loading out the 9 in resto for full on healing but I am not sure at this point. Is Furor worth it?(100% to gen rage or energy on shapshift)

I used to do the shifting points, but I'm unsure on furor. I used to have it in my first build, but then I came to the following conclusion:

1- In cat form, I don't need it instantly. If I'm dps'ing - then I'm in cat form before the fight. Hence Energy is already there.
2- In bear form, I either shifted because I'm being beaten on (rage will regen on it's own) or I'm wanting to taunt aggro off a squishy. And I think taunt comes up without need of rage (at least single-target taunt). And you always have enrage to buy you a second or so. Of course, if you insta-heal the person being attacked and then shapeshift to pull off some aggro, you have some aggr already bought and it should be easier to get the peeler.

I spent a lot of my feral points in armor/hide increases and in extra aggro - because when I'm offtanking, they come in really handy. I'll post my 3rd revision of my talent build soon.

Thanks Dhrydan....that seems to make alot of sense, the reason I was thinking furor was for squishy offtank. Smart to hit an insta heal to gen some aggro. Cant wait to see your build. I chose imp rejuve over imp regrowth. Is it worth it to have both talents or would you use one DoT over the other. The problem I can see with regrowth is the casting time. Other healers will often see the problem and hit the target before regrowth is done winding up making it wasted mana (aside from the DoT effect if there is still damage)

I am currently working on my Druid, I want him to be a strong healer. I quite early in his Druid career   but I want to plan the talents distribution adequately. I have one question: Can I redistribute talents if I think I messed up? Im thinking about doing that already (lvl 15)

Huarache

You can always "respec" your character... there is a fee of course... 1gold the first time... 5gold the next and so on until it caps at 50 gold.

Lvl 15 might be a little early to respec. You've only gotten 6 talent points by that time and typically the first tier of each tree doesn't make or break a character. Usually the first big level for talent points is level 40 when a player can finally get the end tier talent of the tree.
