Restoration on 10-man, 20-man and 40-man
Restoration is the HoT
Druid for Forever instances. You pre-hot tanks and blanket the raid on damage windows. Mana on long
Hyjal Summit pulls is the real risk. Hub for forms: Druid hub. Flag and arena heals: Resto PvP. Caster DPS: Balance PvE.
Restoration spend for raid throughput
Point-by-point talent names stay provisional (beta, 24 September 2026). Shared milestone math lives on the calculator and the Druid hub. This page only covers how Restoration plays in groups.
Early levels: Rejuvenation and Regrowth while questing. Stay in Restoration. Travel Form is between pulls.
Mid levels: blanket HoTs on dungeon packs. A tiny Balance dip for Innervate-style mana tools shows up in community trees. Call it optional and provisional.
At 60: finish Restoration, then the Forever gold row. Do not invent a Classic 51-point total. Recheck when Blizzard posts the
Druid kit.
Spirit and mp5 into the 9 December raids
Restoration wants Spirit, mp5 and spell healing on leather or cloth hybrids. Week 1 quest blues, then
dungeons sets, then raid.
Week 1. Swap healing pieces every 5 levels. Week-1 healer gear.
Weeks 2 to 3. 1 full
dungeons clear for quests, then open world. Pre-raid healer set.
From 9 December. Walk
Barrow Deeps,
Hyjal Summit and Onyxia. Replace slots from lockouts. Raid carries.
