Restoration Druid PvE Guide - TBC Classic

TBC Classic Restoration Druid Rotation

One of the unique things about healing is downranking heals. We mention some specific ranks of certain heals below as a starting point, but finding out which ranks work best will be up to you. The ranks you choose will change based on each boss depending on the situation and length of the encounter, as well your target and how much health they are missing.

Priority

1. Maintain 3 stacks of
   Lifebloom
   .
2. Maintain
   Rejuvenation
   .
3. Maintain
   Regrowth
   HoT.
4. Cast
   Regrowth
   to help with spikes in damage.
5. Cast
   Swiftmend
   for a solid instant burst heal.
6. Cast
   Nature's Swiftness
   with
   Healing Touch R13
   for a huge instant burst heal. You need to leave
   Tree of Life
   to do this.
7. If you need to, you can down rank
   Regrowth
   and use
   Regrowth R5
   or
   Regrowth R9
   . This shouldn't happen very often.

AoE

1. Even while raid healing, it is still worth it to maintain 3 stacks of
   Lifebloom
   on the main tank.
2. Maintain 3 stacks of
   Lifebloom
   .
3. Cast
   Regrowth
   .
4. Cast

TBC Classic Restoration Druid Aldor or Scryer

We recommend going Aldor as a Restoration Druid in TBC Classic. The Aldor shoulder enchant,
Greater Inscription of Faith
, is considerably stronger than the Scryer
Greater Inscription of the Oracle
. Scryer does provide an early weapon, the
Seer's Cane
, but it falls behind in the long run.
