Guide

How Restoration plays.

In a group you heal from caster form: Rejuvenation stays on the tank all fight and on anyone lightly hurt, Regrowth handles bigger damage, and Swiftmend catches someone with your HoT who drops low. Solo you level like Balance: Moonfire, Insect Swarm, Starfire on healthy mobs and Wrath, healing yourself when you get low. Lines for spells you don't have yet are skipped, and the helper uses the right rank.

Who gets healed

  • The most hurt person first, counted with the heals already on their way.
  • The tank keeps your Rejuvenation all fight, gets Regrowth kept on below 95%, and Thorns before the pull.
  • Anyone with a curse or poison you can remove gets dispelled (switches per spell, all on).
  • You get Innervate at 40% mana or below.

Healing spells

  1. Swiftmend on someone at 50% or below who has your Rejuvenation or Regrowth.
  2. Nature's Swiftness when someone drops to 30%, then Healing Touch on them.
  3. Tranquility when 3 or more people are below 50% (a switch, on by default).
  4. Rejuvenation on someone at 50% or below with no HoT of yours, when Swiftmend is about ready to follow it.
  5. Wild Growth when 3 or more people are below 85%.
  6. Remove Curse, Abolish Poison (Cure Poison before you learn it).
  7. A free Regrowth on Clearcasting on someone below 90%, and Regrowth on anyone at 40% or below.
  8. Rejuvenation on the tank, Regrowth at 60%, Healing Touch at 50% when both HoTs are already on, Rejuvenation at 85%.

When it's quiet

  • Moonfire and Insect Swarm on fresh mobs, Starfire while the mob has 60% health or more, Wrath as the filler.
  • In a group, damage spells only go out at 70% mana or more, to save mana for heals.
  • Solo: Regrowth, then Healing Touch on yourself below 40% health, and Rejuvenation in a fight below 70%.
  • Hurricane on 5 or more mobs around you. It lands at your mouse.

Good to know

  • Every number above is a setting you can change.
  • The helper keeps Mark of the Wild, Thorns and Omen of Clarity up in caster form.
  • Growl, Bash, Entangling Roots, Hibernate, Prowl, Dash and Travel Form stay yours.
What it does for you

Built for Restoration.

01

Heal the right target

The healing engine watches your whole group and raid and picks who needs it now. Always with the right spell rank for the heal.

02

Dispels

Harmful effects come off your group as they land, when you switch Dispels on.

03

Damage when it's quiet

When nobody needs healing, your Restoration damage spells keep going.

04

Kicks and stuns

Interrupts on the casts that matter, and no wasted casts on mobs that are immune.

05

The right spell rank

Highest, smart or a fixed rank for every spell, so you never waste mana.

06

Immunity learning

It learns which mobs shrug off your spells and stops casting them there.
