Restoration Druid Guide
Updated 7 months, 1 week ago for patch 10.1 by Preston. View the change log.
Welcome to my Restoration Druid guide! I've been raiding as a Restoration Druid for over 18-years, since the days of Rank 4 Healing Touch and Decursive mashing! I enjoy Druid's heal over time centric style while also having access to every role in the game on one character. This guide will be most useful for new and intermediate players that are playing in pick-up groups (PUGs) or in less organized groups.
Constructive feedback and questions are greatly appreciated! Feel free to leave comments at the bottom of any guide page, contact me, or tweet @PrestonDvorak.

However, it can still be useful to know what your options are and how to best make use of them. Read more...

Healing doesn't have a rotation of spells to go through like a DPS spec does, however, there are often certain types of situations that arise where you can respond in a certain fashion. I've detailed some of the most common situations below, as well as how to heal them. In the heat of battle, you may not always be able to stick to these things exactly, but with a little practice they should become second nature. Read more...
