Restoration Druid Mists of Pandaria: Remix Guide — The War Within Pre-Patch

Welcome to our MoP Remix Guide for Restoration Druid! This page contains everything you need to know about getting the most out of your Restoration Druid in the Patch 10.2.7 special feature, Mists of Pandaria: Remix.

This page is focused only on Restoration Druid in MoP Remix. If you want to know more about MoP Remix in general, such as its rewards, check out our dedicated page below.

Below, you will find our recommended leveling build and talent pickup order for your Restoration Druid in MoP Remix. There are various ways of leveling in MoP Remix, and we offer some builds for the most relevant ways.

Note that this Leveling section is specific to MoP Remix. For our Dragonflight Leveling Guide for Restoration Druid, please check our dedicated Leveling page.

Gems are one of the unique ways to augment your character in MoP Remix, offering offensive, defensive, and utility benefits. On this page, we list the best gems for each type. To learn more about Gems in MoP Remix in general, check out our dedicated page below.

• Meta Gem: Ward of Salvation, Tireless Spirit, Funeral Pyre, or Locus of Power.
• The best meta gem will come down to whether you prefer buffing your allies, increasing your own stats, or gaining extra utility to make healing easier. It is recommended that you play around with each and find out which one you enjoy using the most.
• Cogwheel Gem: Blink
• Blink will be the best Cogwheel Gem. The other choices are not particularly useful for Restoration Druid.
• Prismatic Gems:

  You will gain a lot of amount of stats as you start unlocking gem slots, and there is no single best stat to stack. You probably want Haste and Crit while you are leveling. You can later swap to Mastery, if you need healing, but that is unlikely to happen.

• Tinker Gems:
  • Righteous Frenzy
  • Sunstrider's Flourish
  • Ankh of Reincarnation
  • Brilliance
  • Vampiric Aura
  • Searing Light
  • Freedom
  • Warmth
  • Deliverance

  These Tinker Gems will mostly provide you with healing increases or buff other players in your group. If you instead want to do more damage you could opt for gems such as Enkindle, Windweaver, Lightning Rod and any of the other damaging dealing gems.

To keep things simple while leveling and learning the spec, use the slider to select your level, and watch as the leveling rotation grows with each level!

Move the slider below to make the guide update to your level!

When using our slider, note that some talents may appear sooner than you expect them to in the rotation. This is because we have two recommended builds above, each taking talents at slightly different times, and sometimes entirely different talents.

1. Adaptive Swarm should be used on cooldown for healing and damage.
2. Convoke the Spirits is a great spell to damage an enemy and heal your group quickly, if you are specced into it.
3. Rake a single target DoT that you can only cast from Cat Form.
4. Moonfire is a great damage over time spell that you should use against any enemy you are fighting.
5. Sunfire deals damage to a target, similar to Moonfire. It will also apply a damage over time effect to all enemies within 8 yards once you are specced into Improved Sunfire.
6. Ferocious Bite deals damage based on the amount of combo points spent. The damage is increased further for each Energy point used beyond 25, up to 25 extra.
7. Use Rip instead of Ferocious Bite if you expect the enemy to live long enough for the DoT to do all the damage.
8. Cat Form. You move 30% faster in Cat Form. This also unlocks Shred, a single target attack only usable in Cat Form and awards 1 Combo Point.
