Pflege. It's telling that even in a raid with single target healing checks, this still wasn't close to viable. Competing against Hainwächter makes it even worse comparatively.

Macht des Erzdruiden. Our third tier is extremely competitive which leaves Macht des Erzdruiden looking fairly poor by comparison. It could fit in as an easier to play version of some talents around it if it were slightly stronger.

Stärken. Stärken has a lot of anti-synergy with other resto druid abilities that prevent you really making a case for it anywhere. If you extend the Stärkend HoT with Gedeihen or a similar effect it'll just stop working. You can't get very creative with it.

Were Tier Sets a Success?

2pc: Verjüngung, Blühendes Leben, Wildwuchs, Erblühen and Gelassenheit have a 10% increased crit chance.
4pc: Efflo crits increase the healing of your next Wildwuchs by 5%, stacking up to 5 times. Blühendes Leben crits reduce the cooldown of Schnelligkeit der Natur by 2s.

2pc: Verjüngung and Blühendes Leben healing increased by 10%. Nachwachsen heal over time increased by 50%.
4pc: Gedeihen increases your HoT tick rate by 40% for an additional 16 seconds after it ends.

Verjüngung

2pc: You and your Hainwächter Pflege now heal 2 additional allies at 40% effectiveness.
4pc: Consuming Clearcasting now causes Nachwachsen to also cast Pflege on a nearby ally at 200% effectiveness.

A deeper look at mana economy across the board.

A more powerful Gedeihen button to improve ramp payoff.

A smaller focus on Hainwächter. They're great in small doses, not big ones.

A look at tertiaries to reduce the amount of power they provide considering their rarity and ability to warp your gearing.
