Restoration Druid Talents & Build – Raid for WoW Forever
Restoration Druids mainly heal over time. Wild Growth heals a target's whole group, Swiftmend instantly heals a target that has Rejuvenation or Regrowth, Gift of Nature increases all healing, and Gift of the Earthmother lowers the global cooldown of your key heals.
Talents, ranks and values come from the WoW Forever game files. Playstyle and stat tips are based on Classic experience; talents and details may differ in Forever.

Playstyle and rotation
Keep Rejuvenation on tanks and on targets taking steady damage. Use Wild Growth on cooldown on whichever group is taking damage. Regrowth heals quickly and leaves a HoT, while Healing Touch is the big, slow heal. Swiftmend and Nature's Swiftness are for emergencies, and Tranquility heals the whole group. With Rebirth you can resurrect a player in combat.
Stat priority
For Restoration Druid, the key stats are +healing, mana regen (MP5) and Intellect. Spell crit is worth it once your talents build on it. In PvP, Stamina matters. This priority comes from Classic; stat weights in WoW Forever may differ.
