WotLK Classic Restoration Druid Spell Summary
On this page, we present you with all spells and procs that you need to understand as a Restoration Druid in WotLK Classic.
Wrath Classic Restoration Druid Abilities
While not all abilities in your spellbook have the same degree of importance, they all have their uses, which we will try to quickly explain in the following sections.
Restoration Druid Heals
- Tree of Life is your main shapeshift form, which reduces the Mana cost of heal-over-time spells by 20%, as well as granting a 6% healing taken buff to everyone around you.
- Lifebloom is an instant cast that heals the target over a period and stacks up to three times on the same target. When it ends or is dispelled, it bursts, instantly healing the target for a large amount and refunding 50% of the Mana used to cast it.
- Rejuvenation is a heal-over-time effect you can cast on yourself or allies to heal them every few seconds for a while.
- Wild Growth is a smart heal that hits the most damaged allies near the target you cast on with a powerful heal-over-time effect that diminishes in potency over time.
- Regrowth is a heal with a shorter cast time that does a burst of healing and puts a healing-over-time effect on the target.
- Swiftmend consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target (unless you have Glyph of Swiftmend) to do a large burst of healing.
- Nourish is a new, fast direct heal which heals for 20% more if one of your heal-over-time effects is on the target.
- Healing Touch is a powerful heal with a very long cast, which makes it only useful when used with Nature's Swiftness.
- Tranquility is a powerful healing cooldown that, while channeled, heals party members every 2 seconds for 8 seconds on a 8-minute cooldown.
- Nature's Swiftness is a Restoration talented ability that, when used, causes your next cast to be instant. This has a 3-minute cooldown.
