MMORPG.com World of Warcraft Correspondent James Wood continues his look at the Druid with this overview of the nature-loving class's Restoration abilities.
The word "Restoration" is enough to describe the purpose of this section of the Druid's skills. It's mostly about healing your party members long enough for them to get the job done. Most Druids become familiar with this tree, especially when they happen to be one of the few heal-capable classes in the group.
For high end healing, learning which spells are best in which situations is key. Rejuvenation is the most mana efficient healing spell, followed closely by lifebloom. Regrowth and Healing tough are the hardest hitting heals, good for when people are taking heavy damage.
Tip: There is a combination of talents that allows regrowth to make healing touch obselete. You need 5/5 improved regrowth, the glyph of regrowth, 3/3 living seed, and 3/3 Nature's Grace. This combination makes regrowth spam superior to healing touch spam for both heals per second and heals per mana.
