Keeping the flag alive under pressure
Restoration spend under flag pressure
Named ranks stay provisional (beta, 24 September 2026). Milestone numbers live on the hub and the calculator.
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

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