Druid Restoration here is for flag heals and arena HoTs. Peels, Travel Form exits and healer honor pieces sit below. Forms stay on the Druid hub. Talent ranks stay provisional (beta, 24 September 2026).

Keeping the flag alive under pressure

Flag roomHoT the carrier
ChaseRoot the pack
Night ElfMeld default

Restoration in BGs is Rejuvenation on the carrier, a root on the chase, then Travel Form off the node. You are not parsing Starfire. Hub for forms: Druid hub. Raid HoTs: Resto PvE. Cat pressure: Feral PvP.

Restoration spend under flag pressure

Named ranks stay provisional (beta, 24 September 2026). Milestone numbers live on the hub and the calculator.

BearOptional wall dip

Leveling in PvP: heal yourself with Rejuvenation, root packs, keep moving. Do not spec full Balance on this page.

At 60 the beta read is HoT throughput plus an optional Bear wall. Exact numbers stay off this page until Blizzard posts them.

Shadowmeld is a Night Elf racial for dropping combat on the flag. War Stomp is Tauren peel.

Healer honor through flag brackets

Restoration honor pieces want +healing and survivability. Early quest greens only plug holes.

Bracket start. Quest healer slots before rank pieces. Early healer PvP pieces.

Climb weeks. Push mid then high brackets on the live PvP book while you heal flags. Rank 14 offer.

After raids open. Take a raid healer drop only when +healing clearly wins. Raid carries.

Open Rank 14 →Restoration on a PvP realm, gadgets on the pack.

Gadgets that save the carrier

Flag rooms want Engineering peels and a weapon enchant. The live PvP Ultimate card is that pair. Open a card to preselect Restoration on a contested realm.
