Restoration Druid Healing Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — The War Within (11.0.5)
On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Restoration Druid, based on your stat priority. We also give budget alternatives. This page is updated for World of Warcraft — The War Within (11.0.5).
If you were looking for WotLK Classic content, please refer to our WotLK Classic Restoration Druid gems and enchants.
Foreword
In general, you should be using Haste enchants for pretty much all content. For the purpose of gaining more stats, we recommend using mixed stats gems since they provide slightly more than single stat ones.
Best Gems and Enchants for Restoration Druids
You will be able to use one Blasphemite gem. Its main purpose is to provide Intellect, the secondary effects are not that important. The three possible options are Culminating (Critical effect), Elusive (Movement Speed), and Insightful (maximum Mana). Critical effect only provides half the benefit for heals; maximum Mana is not useful because we have no Mana scaling at all. Therefore, we recommend using Elusive Blasphemite.
For the other gems, you should try to maximise the movement speed effect while not sacrificing too much. Because Crit is not good for either Mythic+ or raiding, you should only use 3 different types of gems. Masterful Emerald, Quick Onyx and Quick Sapphire are the ones to pick. After you have these 3 and Blasphemite, you can continue using Masterful Emerald.
Slot | Enchantment |
---|---|
Necklace | Magnificent Jeweler's Setting (adds up to 2 sockets to a Ring or Neck) |
Cloak | Enchant Cloak - Chant of Leeching Fangs |
Chest | Enchant Chest - Crystalline Radiance |
Bracers | Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Leech |
Legs | Sunset Spellthread |
Feet | Enchant Boots - Scout's March |
Rings | Enchant Ring - Radiant Haste |
Rings | Magnificent Jeweler's Setting (adds up to 2 sockets to a Ring or Neck) |
Weapon | Enchant Weapon - Authority of Fiery Resolve |
Weapon | Enchant Weapon - Stormrider's Fury |
Enchant Weapon - Stormrider's Fury is a better choice for higher throughput content, while Enchant Weapon - Authority of Fiery Resolve will perform better when damage is lower.
We recommend using Enchant Boots - Scout's March (enchant from Dragonflight) because it gives the same Speed as The War Within version ( Enchant Boots - Scout's March). The Stamina enchant gives a very pitiful amount of it. Movement speed will be more useful.
To better understand why these specific enchants and gems are advised, use our Stats page.
Consumables for Restoration Druids
Best Flasks and Potions for Restoration
Flask of Tempered Swiftness should be used for raids along with Algari Mana Potion as your potion of choice.
Flask of Alchemical Chaos — is slightly more random than Flask of Tempered Swiftness, but it is a net positive in stats and also leads to stronger Tempered Potion uses, so it is only recommended, when you are using Tempered Potions. If you are not using Tempered Potions, then you should use Flask of Tempered Swiftness.
For Healing Potions, you will mainly use Algari Healing Potion. Also, do not forget Healthstones for emergency healing.
Best Food for Restoration
You should eat large feast ( Feast of the Midnight Masquerade) if it is available. Otherwise, use a personal food Beledar's Bounty.
Other Consumables for Restoration
Make sure you apply Algari Mana Oil to your weapon.
Crystallized Augment Rune is the only other consumable worth mentioning. Use it whenever possible for extra stats.
