Restoration Druid — how the spec plays, what it brings to a group, and how it survives. This page teaches understanding, not a rotation script — for theorycraft, the class resources below are the standard references.

Officer notes for this spec are still being charted — the guidance below covers the Healer fundamentals.

What This Spec Is Trying to Do

General Healer guidance — spec notes are still being charted.

Keep the group alive through incoming damage — triaging what is urgent now and planning cooldowns for what is coming next.

Basic Priority

Broad Healer principles while this spec's notes are being charted.

  1. Keep your core upkeep effects running
  2. Answer urgent damage first, then planned damage events
  3. Hold major cooldowns for moments that would otherwise overwhelm the group
  4. Contribute damage only when the group is stable

Defensive Toolkit

The categories of personal survivability — every spec plays these differently.

  • A personal damage-reduction or immunity button
  • Self-healing to recover after raid damage
  • Mobility to leave dangerous areas
  • Utility that prevents damage before it lands — stops and dispels

Utility

The Druid class kit — spec access varies.

  • Interrupt and silence tools
  • Combat resurrection — Rebirth
  • Soothe — enrage removal
  • Stampeding Roar group mobility
  • Curse and poison cleansing
