Oh, about 500 years ago I told you all that I’d be writing a post on doing Dailies as a Druid healer. I wasn’t lying. It just took some time to figure it out in my head. I have 2 70 Druids. One in BT level gear one barely in Kara level gear. I decided to use the Kara geared Druid healer to make this post, All but the Ogri’la part, since he’s not able to do their dailies. So, let’s start with the Easy ones. This is how I start my daily run anyway.

For a druid, you’ll probably want to be running a resto build with points in balance if you’re planning to do any dps at all. After all, you can’t heal them to death. Here are two specs I’ve used: 13/0/48, 19/0/42 Both can be used just fine in raids, and help out quite a bit in doing your Dailies. The more points you put in Balance the better for Dailies, but at the expense of healing… So be careful when choosing a build. Depending on your gear level compared to what you usually raid. So, you have the spec, you know what to do with it… I hope. Pull with Starfire, Wrath before the mob gets to you, moonfire, swarm, wrath spam is what I do. If there’s a better way to do it, let me know.

On to the Questing!!!

Fires Over Skettis. This quest is simple. Fly around dropping bombs on Kaliri eggs. Keep away from the birds flying around and you should be OK. I tend to fly under the birds path, so I can easily avoid them. This becomes difficult if you’re in the middle of skettis, since the casters will Shadowbolt you. In this case, I fly above the birds’ routes. Stop, target, throw, fly away. 20 down, you’re good to go.

Speaking of the birds. It is possible that you have the cooking Daily to make Kaliri Stew. You’ll have to kill those Giant birds until one drops a wing. What I tend to do is hover near the platform above the island in the lake. Kaliri will fly by at regular intervals, and when one aggro’s i head to the platform, root it, back off, moonfire, and wrath spam.  It usually takes me 2-5 kills before I get my wing. Do not forget to heal yourself. Those birds hit hard.

Along the way, you may come upon the Skyguard Prisoner, who gives the quest: Escape from Skettis. Now, this is a combat quest. Possibly a bit difficult for your Healer-type self… Nah. We’re good! It all depends on your server, but in my experience, since the addition of the SSO dailies, people do not do the Skettis Dailies nearly as often. So, you’ll probably be able to do this quest unmolested.

What I do when I find the prisoner is clear the platforms of wandering Skettis. This ensures that when I start the quest I won’t get any  surprises. Mana up and heal up, buff up and then grab the quest. Depending on the location you will have a couple ambushes to deal with in escorting the pisoner. Let the Prisoner tank one. Root the other, moonfire, and wrath spam. Rejuv and Lifebloom yourself when you get to about 50% health. Your target should go down first. Once it does, root and kill the other. Heal the prisoner if he’s under 25%, but he’ll regenerate health when not fighting all the way to full, so that shouldn’t be a big deal. You will have to do this twice, so don’t let yourself get too low on Mana. When all said and done, I had 50% mana left and was at full health with a rejuv ticking the last time I did this quest.

So, that’s part one. Next step will look at Nagrand and Hellfire, getting into the SSO dailies. Hopefully it will be up soon.
