Config - 115 CoV Druid - Balanced Setup (DPS and Heals)

[Evelyn]

Entirely overhauled to be Balanced now.

Do you have any other versions for Druid’s? I’m looking for more dps and just spot heals.

Hey, crs399! I'm actually working on a balance set next. This was my bread and butter ini file until I leveled a cleric up to take over main healing in ToV. I'd say maybe give me a week or two to put a "work in progress" one up?

Sounds good thanks!

Evelyn updated 115 ToV Druid - Priority Healer with Balanced Setup with a new update entry:

Massive Update to overhaul unused/outdated spells and include more damage

If your tank is not taking a whole lot of damage, you'll find a great DPS boost now with this update. Got rid of lines that I realized had some outdated spells, eliminated outdated buffs to not buff stupid things inbetween pulls.

Sounds good thanks!

I think you'll see a huge improvement with this update. Rather than breaking it off into a separate ini, the heal setup remains generally the same but DPS was revamped. Did some tests all week, and seems pretty good on my front. Let me know.

Great I’ll load it up tonight!

Hi - did you try out the current ini with the latest update? It's using a balanced setup. Or are you finding that it's not balanced enough for you? I entirely overhauled it after crs399 made that comment.

By my observations, the druid will patch heal inbetween every so often if running her with a cleric but still put out some decent dps (at least for me), but if she is solo, she'll stick to heals.

OOO thank you , I didn't see it TBH in this thread as the lead post was primary healer and I didn't see it in the ini library .. I loaded it right up and giving it a go !

Thanks again

 

[crs399]

@Evelyn sorry for the late reply. I didn’t get a chance to really give a fair use until the last few days. It’s working very well decent Dps Without being too mana intensive and just the right amount of back up healing. Great job!

Corrected outdated heals

Thank you for the feedback received including via a PM.

I replaced thornspike with adrenaline deluge, removed references to a spell that was not being used, and I discovered I was referring to revitalization instead of rejuvenescence in some places. Corrected things in DPS, Heals, Conditional and spells, so just use the entire update ini.

Cond4=!${Me.Buff[Twincast Rk. II].ID} && !${Me.Buff[Improved Twincast].ID} && !${Me.Buff[Twincast].ID} && !${Me.Buff[Twincast Rk. III].ID}
I am confused as to why you have both Twincast Rk. ll and then Twincast Rk. lll in the same line

Hmm, actually that's not even the problem. I was using "and" operators instead of "or" operators. Thanks for pointing it out anyway. I fixed it. I am leaving it with "or" operators instead because this way you only need to change one line and that's the DPS line accordingly to your TC rank spell in case some people don't want to mess with the conditional line. Obviously, if you know what you're doing with your conditionals, you can just eliminate the twincasts you don't have, of course. It will work the same way in either case.

Thank you.

I used "and" operators instead of "or" operators by accident. It's updated now.

Evelyn updated 115 ToV Druid - Balanced Setup with a new update entry:

I changed the title to not confuse people to just be "Balanced Setup". The heals will adjust if your tank is taking a lot of damage (more heals) or just small damage (patch heals with DPS), as the way it should be with a Druid.

Dot Added, more cleanup with useless things that should not have been included

Thanks to two people's feedback that play real druids (where on earth have you all been before, lol) that messaged me.

Preincarnation was a waste of a spell slot since it's an AA. It's been tossed from the gems.
Replaced a conditional entirely referring to Ro as it's not needed.
Added Horde of Hyperboreads to the spell line-up.
Will make use of miniature horn of unity as well now.
Re-arranged/added/deleted things from various parts, so please just copy the entire revised ini here...

I was using Nature's Growth instead of the ToV spell: Sustaining Growth. It's been fixed now.

Evelyn updated 115 CoV Druid - Balanced Setup (DPS and Heals) with a new update entry:

Overhauled heals and made changes to burns/dps

1. I didn't like the fact that my druid was just casting any random group heal spell when just a single target was sufficient and vice-versa. The heals section is revamped and there are notes to adjust depending if the druid needs to heal sooner or later.
2. At the risk of losing some dps on trash mobs, I changed Nature's Fervid Wrath to only be used on GoMs, but he will burn with it on named. Additionally, this should save mana over the long haul for continuous action since it's such a mana...

Evelyn updated 115 CoV Druid - Balanced Setup (DPS and Heals) with a new update entry:

Updated for KA 12 and some more fixes/tweaks

Updated now for KA 12 with some fixes and tweaks:

1. Cleaned up the heals and conditionals a little more. Found some extra lines that didn't need to be there.
2. Will use one dot (horde of hyperboreads) on trash and use GoMs for NFW and Sunshock. This should balance the mana situation out more.
3. Will go full dots on named

Let me know if there are any issues with Sustaining Growth in particular.

@Evelyn
Keep getting this error when trying to turn the ini on any idea?

 

[Evelyn]

Hmm. Seems you had an issue with Condition 3. I updated it back to: Cond3=${Target.Named}

Not sure why it wasn't working before for you, but it should work fine now I think.

 

[crs399]

@Evelyn I reloaded the Ini but still spitting out the same errors. Keep going thru it I don’t see anything. Used this Ini before the ToV update with no issues is it something with KA12 maybe?

 

[crs399]

@Evelyn Nevermind. I did an update on the KA12 Macro and the INI seems to be working fine now

Evelyn updated 115 CoV Druid - Balanced Setup (DPS and Heals) with a new update entry:

Fixed two things

I must've copied the wrong copy I had to RG. I realized the DPS line for NFW was missing mob life percentage

I also changed aggro to use veil of the underbrush instead which is a fade ability.

i am using your ini and like it alot. but one question besides lowering the % that it cast heals how can i get it to do more dps. I run cleric/sham/druid in my group. I love the dps a druid can put out. so I want to use the cleric/sham as the groups main and sec healers. with the druid doing more dps and only healing only when really really needed.

NFW is your biggest damage spell, but it also consumes a ton of mana.

The way it's currently setup in the ini, NFW is only going to: a) get cast and re-applied on named no matter what and b) it will get applied on any mob if GoM procs

With that being said, a couple of options are:

1st option: Change:
DPS7=Nature's Fervid Wrath|99|Cond3

to:
DPS7=Nature's Fervid Wrath|99|once

And then you'll always rely on GoMs to keep re-applying thereafter on any mob.

or, 2nd option: Change it instead to:
DPS7=Nature's Fervid Wrath|99

It's a very mana-intensive spell, so just be forewarned about that.

Evelyn updated 115 CoV Druid - Balanced Setup (DPS and Heals) with a new update entry:

Another update to heals and conditionals

After some consideration and feedback. I changed the heals section to compensate for one or more people being dead in the group as well has having Lunalesce appropriately cast first for synergy.

You can still adjust the heal percentages as needed, but I thought it would be neat to include my changes as a safe measure. With that being said, if someone is not dead, it will not heal as much.

Viridavida will not be used be used either unless one or more group members are dead as well. Was trying to find a way around not casting this long-ass cast spell unless absolutely needed and it works fine for my scenarios/purpose.

Let me know your thoughts. Hope you enjoy the update.
