Guide

How Restoration plays.

Healing Wave is your main heal, Lesser Healing Wave the fast one when someone drops low. Riptide keeps a heal ticking on the tank and sets up Chain Heal when several people are hurt. Nature's Swiftness turns a Healing Wave instant to stop a death.

Who gets healed

  • The most hurt person in your group, for most heals.
  • The tank: Healing Wave at 60%, Riptide kept on them at 90%.
  • Chain Heal when 3 or more people are below 80%, starting on someone who has your Riptide.
  • Cure Poison and Cure Disease on whoever needs it.

Healing spells

  1. Nature's Swiftness when someone drops to 30%, then an instant Healing Wave.
  2. Lesser Healing Wave on someone at 35%.
  3. Healing Wave on the tank at 60%.
  4. Riptide on the tank, then on anyone at 90% who doesn't have yours.
  5. Chain Heal with 3 or more hurt below 80%.
  6. Cure Poison and Cure Disease.
  7. Mana Tide Totem when your mana is at 80% or lower.
  8. Healing Wave on anyone at 70%.

When it's quiet

  • In a group with healing on, damage spells only at 70% mana or more and while everyone is above 80%.
  • Solo you play the Elemental leveling list: Searing Totem, Flame Shock, Fire Nova, Lightning Bolt from range, Earth Shock in melee.
  • Magma Totem with 3 or more mobs next to you.

Good to know

  • You heal yourself with Lesser Healing Wave below 35% health.
  • Your weapon imbue is kept up for you. Buff totems are yours to drop.
  • Earth Shock still interrupts casts.
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.
