Druide Restoration guide
How to play Restoration in WoW: Forever: what to press, which stats to chase, the talent build level by level, and the gear and dungeons to aim for.
Vue d'ensemble
Restoration is the druid's healing spec. You keep heals over time rolling and use Swiftmend and Nature's Swiftness for spikes. In Forever, Swiftmend comes early and no longer eats your heal over time, which makes it much easier to use.
Good at
- Strong heals over time
- Swiftmend and Nature's Swiftness for spikes
- Can heal while moving
- Battle res with Rebirth
Watch out for
- Armure en cuir
- Slow solo leveling
- Healing Touch is slow to cast in a pinch
How to play it
In order of priority for levels 20 to 30, on one target:
- RejuvenationKeep it on the tank. Improved Rejuvenation makes it heal more.
- RegrowthA quick heal plus a heal over time. It is cheaper in Forever.
- SwiftmendInstant heal on a target with Rejuvenation or Regrowth. It leaves the heal over time on.
- Healing TouchBig heal for steady damage. Naturalist makes it faster.
- Nature's SwiftnessMakes your next Nature spell instant. Pair it with Healing Touch to save someone.
Several targets
- TranquilityBig group heal from level 30 when everyone is hurt.
