Restoration Druid in WoW TBC
Healer
You don't react to damage — you make sure it never mattered in the first place.
Difficulty
PvEA
PvPGood
Restoration is the original HoT healer: Rejuvenation, Regrowth and Lifebloom stack up ahead of damage instead of reacting to it, and Tranquility can flat-out save a wipe. Tree of Life form turns you into the steadiest, most efficient raid healer in the game.
Strengths
- ✓Excellent mana efficiency through HoT stacking
- ✓Tranquility is a powerful raid-wide cooldown
- ✓Innervate lets you fix another healer's mana crisis
Trade-offs
- ✗Weak burst single-target healing compared to Holy specs
- ✗Low personal damage output if asked to off-spec
- ✗HoT-heavy style takes practice to pre-plan well
