Restoration Druid Healing Nerub-ar Palace Raid Guide — The War Within (11.0.7)

• Use Barkskin whenever you are targeted by Digestive Acid.

• Flourish ramps for Venomous Lash.
• Use Incarnation: Tree of Life on pull to have it back up for the first intermission.
• Save your third Tree of Life for the second intermission. That will mean using it 3 minutes after the previous one.
• Tranquility should be used between Flourishes in each normal phase to let you pop 2 Flourishes per phase.
• You can use Heart of the Wild (if you are specced into it) to regenerate Mana right after the intermission ends, since the boss will be doing basically nothing for 20 to 30 seconds.

• You can shift out of the roots if you accidentally get stuck in a web. Does not work on Mythic difficulty.
• You can drop Starlight Conduit and pick Typhoon to help control the adds. If this is not needed, then just keep Starlight Conduit since it will improve your DPS a bit.

• Use Barkskin after Goresplatter.
• Use Renewal to help clear Crimson Rain.

• Use Incarnation: Tree of Life on pull.
• Use Flourish on Crimson Rain. This happens every 30 seconds, so you just use Flourish on every second one or so. Pair it with Incarnation: Tree of Life whenever possible.
• Use Tranquility to plug in Crimson Rains that do not have Flourish.

• Ursol's Vortex can keep any small adds that spawn from the casters from reaching the boss. You can also spec into Typhoon, but this should not be needed.

• Use Renewal when you are overlapping the Cosmic Simulacrum DoT with any other mechanic.
• If targeted by Phase Blades, use Barkskin. You can also use Bear Form and then drop it immediately. Ursine Vigor will give you 15% Stamina for 4 seconds even if you are out of Bear Form.

• Your goal is to do Flourish for Shattering Sweep casts. Unfortunately they happen about every 1:40 or so.
• If you use Tranquility with Dreamstate immediately after Flourishing the first Shattering Sweep, you can use an additional Flourish before the second Shattering Sweep.

• Tiger Dash is an option to use on this boss to position for Phase Blades and Decimate.

• Use Barkskin for Infested Spawn casts especially if overlapping other mechanics.
• Renewal can be used on the Erosive Spray DoT to help top off.

• Flourish on Erosive Spray casts.
• Use first Incarnation: Tree of Life on pull. Alternatively, you can play Convoke the Spirits instead and use it together with Flourish on every intermission.
• If you use Tranquility with Dreamstate after your second Flourish, you will be able to line up Flourishes for further Erosive Spray.

• Ursol's Vortex can be used to keep the adds in place.
• Stampeding Roar can be used when the boss flies away to get your raid over to the boss more quickly.

• Use Barkskin as Experimental Dosage is expiring to keep your health up while the healing absorb is removed.

• The biggest damage happens when the boss moves to the new container. It will be close to on pull and then every 3 minutes or so.
• You can use Control of the Dream in a combination with Convoke the Spirits to get more cooldowns for Experimental Dosage casts. With this setup you can use Convoke the Spirits, Flourish, and Tranquility on the container, then Convoke and Flourish on the first debuffs and finally Convoke on the third debuffs. Then you rotate cooldowns on the other containers. The only exception will be the third Dosage on the second container, where you will have to skip Convoke.
• Use Flourish to cover random damage events roughly every minute to not desync the usage from full energy events.

• This is yet another boss with good Ursol's Vortex use case. You can drop it to control Blood Parasites.

• Renewal and Barkskin should be used liberally to stay healthy as you have less health on this boss than you usually do. There are not many high-damage dangerous hits, but there are a lot of mechanics to dodge, and it is better to be prepared.

• Use Flourish on cooldown in Phase 1. Nether Rift casts are 30 seconds apart, so they line up perfectly. Use Incarnation: Tree of Life on the third Nether Rift cast.
• Alternative CD usage: Use Incarnation: Tree of Life on pull, then in the intermissions. Flourish will be used on the second Rifts and in the intermissions. Tranquility in this case should be popped on the third rift.
• If you spec into Improved Ironbark and Regenerative Heartwood, you can use Ironbark on the second Queensbane and then in the intermission.

• Use Dash to get your portal out. You can Wild Charge back.

• Use Barkskin on any mechanic that does damage. There are too many of them to save it.
• Use Renewal when you get a DoT and some other mechanic is incoming.

• Use Incarnation: Tree of Life for the first Venomous Rain. The HoTs will go into the Burrowed Eruption. Pop Flourish later for the Eruption.
• Use your second Flourish on the next Burrowed Eruption and immediately follow it up with Tranquility.
• Further, Incarnation: Tree of Life and Flourish will be used basically on cooldown for various mechanics.

• Use Wild Charge to quickly reposition to your allies. Alternatively, you can spec into Tiger Dash.

• Use Barkskin for Frothy Toxin. It does damage upon expiration, but Barkskin will cover the entire DoT duration and explosion both.
• Pop Renewal if you are low health for the next mechanic. It is especially useful for Phase 2 during dispels. You will want to pop immediately after either dispel or grip, so that you do not die from the following mechanic.

• You can use Flourish for each Frothy Toxin, if you either pop the first a bit earlier or use Tranquility after the second one.
• Use Ironbark on tanks to help with healing the absorb. When specced into Regenerative Heartwood, it will do quite a lot of healing.
• Your second Incarnation: Tree of Life should cover intermission healing.
• Save fourth Flourish for dispels in the intermission. Start ramping as you run.
• Fifth Flourish for the second platform as debuffs go out. To achieve this, you will need to use Tranquility on the first platform for cooldown reduction.
• Phase 3 has too much variance in its duration and rather low damage, so the best idea most of the time will be to fit as many cooldowns as possible.

• Use Ursol's Vortex on adds in Phase 3 to prevent them from running into the boss.
• Pop Heart of the Wild, if you are specced into it, in the start of Phase 3 and cast Wrath. It will regenerate almost full Mana bar.
