WoW Insider's on a Daily Quest to bring you interesting, informative and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.
Patch 4.0.6 has been out long enough for players to get used to the changes -- and also to receive its fair share of hotfixes and tweaks. While my stabbing ways went pretty much unaffected by the new patch and class adjustments, others found themselves once more in the position of having to learn everything all over again. Today we decided to take a look around the blogosphere at a few posts regarding healing and the new patch:
- Cannot Be Tamed has a summary of the changes and some resto druid specs for 4.0.6.
- Life in Group 5 goes over the changes to spells and trinkets from a resto shaman point of view.
- The Stories of O has a guide to changes made to Chakra for holy priests in 4.0.6.
- Kurn's Corner has some thoughts and number crunching for the holy paladins out there.
Is there a story out there we ought to link or a blog we should be following? Just leave us a comment, and you may see it here tomorrow! Be sure to check out our WoW Resources Guide for more WoW-related sites. Filed under: The Daily Quest

I still haven't gotten my druid's healing set to a place where I'm comfortable doing a regular more than once in a blue moon. Maybe one day...
New post on Corath's Blog! (http://corath.wordpress.com) I recently got into listening to podcasts, so I wrote up my thoughts on my three favourite ones.

Enjoy!

Weren't the changes mentioned in Kurn's Corner reverted Monday or Tuesday?

Yep, I've got follow-up posts on the blog about that and will be updating the post linked here to reflect that. :)

I'm pretty much done with healing on my druid. I understand they wanted to make healing more difficult, and that's ok. But I was expecting it to become more difficult due to complexity (like cat DPS) rather than more difficult due to weakness of the tools we've been given. It's been pretty much reduced to building a stack of Lifebloom on the tank and then trying to stay ahead of damage by spamming Nourish/Healing Touch, and that's just not much fun.

Thanks for the link!
@brammage - Druid healing tools are just fine. Nourish/HT spam is not the right way to do it.

I agree, Nourish/HT spam is terrible. But with all HoTs applied and the tank's health still plummeting, what else are you going to do?
