Welcome to our PVE Restoration Druid guide for WoW WotLK. This guide will show you what you need to know to play the Druid class as Restoration.

Talents

This is the popular Resto Druid Build. This build has 4 points available to spend as you please. Some good ideas are Nature’s Grace, Empowered Touch, Natural Perfection or Tranquil Spirit.

Glyphs

Major Glyphs

• Swiftmend
• Wild Growth
• Nourish or Rapid Rejuvenation  or Regrowth

Minor Glyphs

• Unburdened Rebirth
• Glyph of the Wild
• Glyph of Thorns

2. Spell Power
3. Spirit (15% becomes spell power thanks to Improved Tree of Life )

Rotation

• Begin by putting Regrowth and Lifebloom  on the tank. Keep Lifebloom on the tank at all times.
• AoE healing Combo:  Wild Growth -> 5x Regrowth
• You can use Rejuvenation instead of Regrowth if the party isn’t taking too much damage.
• Tranquility  can be used after a massive AoE or combined with Barkskin when needed.
