TBC Classic Restoration Druid Guide

Introduction

    Restoration Druids excel at single target healing and will often be assigned to watch over the tanks. The increased healing received buff from
    Tree of Life
    is a great addition to the tank group in raids.

TBC Classic Restoration Druid Rotation

    One of the unique things about healing is downranking heals. We mention some specific ranks of certain heals below as a starting point, but finding out which ranks work best will be up to you. The ranks you choose will change based on each boss depending on the situation and length of the encounter, as well your target and how much health they are missing.

Priority

  1. Maintain 3 stacks of
    Lifebloom
    .
  2. Maintain
    Rejuvenation
    .
  3. Maintain
    Regrowth
    HoT.
  4. Cast
    Regrowth
    to help with spikes in damage.
  5. Cast
    Swiftmend
    for a solid instant burst heal.
  6. Cast
    Nature's Swiftness
    with
    Healing Touch R13
    for a huge instant burst heal. You need to leave
    Tree of Life
    to do this.
  7. If you need to, you can down rank
    Regrowth
    and use
    Regrowth R5
    or
    Regrowth R9
    . This shouldn't happen very often.

AoE

  1. Even while raid healing, it is still worth it to maintain 3 stacks of
    Lifebloom
    on the main tank.
  2. Maintain 3 stacks of
    Lifebloom
    .
  3. Cast
    Regrowth

    with
    Healing Touch R13

    Tree of Life
    to do this.

TBC Classic Restoration Druid Aldor or Scryer

    We recommend going Aldor as a Restoration Druid in TBC Classic. The Aldor shoulder enchant,
    Greater Inscription of Faith
    , is considerably stronger than the Scryer
    Greater Inscription of the Oracle
    . Scryer does provide an early weapon, the
    Seer's Cane
    , but it falls behind in the long run.
