AP drain lion pets and turrets if you need AP. You don't want to always use drain offensively, especially after changes. That and you should have 80 AP pots of both type in your inventory. Potion bar ftw.

Not sure if this also works here but the way how you cast your spells affected the AP gain on live. There's usually a buffer for server lag added at the end of each cast. If you don't button-smash, you can use this tiny buffer to get an extra tick, but like I said, don't know if ror has that going on.
Update: Yes, it works. With longer casts, you get the tick.
Below a really old video of mine showing that effect on live as shaman.

Yes it does. Waiting half a second between casts works. But you go through a lot of AP pots. However, unlike most healers you don’t need to flee/AP pot anywhere near as often, so it works out. It is rough though.
AP drain is often too much of a risk to utilize though. Unless you have an A+ target, you just burned 50ap. Be smart with it.
Oh, and resto burst is nearly mandatory. Auto detaunt is awesome, but I drop it for the AP...

Anyone tried the clarity proc ToK accessory set? Is it worth using other the resist 3 piece set?
