Restoration Druid PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — The War Within (11.0.7)

The stat priority for Restoration Druid in PvP is as follows:

1. Intellect;
2. Versatility;
3. Mastery;
4. Haste;
5. Critical Strike.

Intellect is the best stat in all situations. The most important secondary stat is Versatility. This increases the damage/healing you do and reduces the damage you take. Mastery ( Mastery: Harmony)is the next strongest secondary stat due to it increasing your healing for each heal over time effect is on the target.

In general, Restoration Druids want to get trinkets that either help with Mana recovery or increase your survivability. The stats you want to be increasing are Intellect or Versatility. The reason you want to increase Intellect is because it drastically increases your overall healing output. For more information about your spells in PvP, please refer to our dedicated page.

Cyrce's Circlet is a new ring introduced in Patch 11.0.7 that you can acquire by completing several activities on Siren Isle. The ring has 3 sockets, which can fit a different kind of gem each. There are four different gems available for each of the three sockets, for a total of 12 gems, so there is quite a bit of choice on what to socket.

Cyrce's Circle ring does not have any secondary stats and in PvP, Cyrce's Circlet Gems are heavily nerfed. It is not recommended to use it.

For more information on how to get the ring, as well as acquiring all of the different gems that you can possibly socket into it, check out our Cyrce's Circlet guide below!

As noted above, acquiring both your 2-set and 4-set bonus is crucial. It is also important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed by 50% in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances of winning. For Restoration Druids, this is your tier set:

• 2-set: Regrowth, Wild Growth, and Swiftmend healing increased by 10%.
• 4-set: Your healing is increased by 8% when consuming Soul of the Forest’s bonus and for 6 sec afterward.

4-set is not required for Restoration Druids, but getting 2-set is recommended.

Embellishments are bonuses that can be put on crafted gear. These effects can have a drastic impact on the game. You are only allowed to have 2 Embellishments are equipped at the same time. Here are the recommended Embellishments for Restoration Druids:

• Energy Redistribution Beacon. While above 80% health, your direct healing will redistribute up to 2% of your health to your target. This is great for increasing your overall healing output. Because this affect does stack, it is recommended to use 2 of them.
• Duskthread Lining. This Embellishment significantly increases your Versatility when you are above 80% health.

• Cloak: Enchant Cloak - Chant of Burrowing Rapidity
