Restoration Druids in Raiding
Healing raids for Resto Druids is about proactively applying a blanket or safety net of HoTs to prepare for incoming damage. Once the damage has hit we use our short cooldown abilities to react to that damage while allowing our HoTs to continually heal and stabilize the raid. If healing falls behind or we need to significantly increase our throughput, we have a number of sizeable cooldowns to rely on. To perform optimally, we require a certain foresight regarding how and when the damage is likely to occur. Knowledge and understanding of the encounter is imperative to achieving this goal.
Restoration Druid Raid Strengths
High Mobility - Resto Druids can reposition quickly while still retaining a large portion of their overall throughput. If an encounter requires players to be on the move for a large portion of the fight, then Restoration Druids tend to excel.
Flexible Healing - Because we heal primarily through HoTs, we can heal a large number of people for a considerable amount or we can focus a large number of HoTs on a single player for some truly inspiring single target healing.
Constant Sustained AoE Raid Healing - While we can be quite flexible, we truly excel above and beyond when the damage pattern is raid wide and sustained.
Multiple Strong Healing Cooldowns - Between

),
, and
, Restoration Druids have a lot of answers for bursty incoming damage that causes healers to fall significantly behind if not managed correctly.
is arguably the strongest raid cooldown in Battle for Azeroth, especially when taking prolonged damage.
Strong Defensive Cooldowns - Restoration Druids have a strong personal defensive toolkit including the on-demand
. Additionally, we have an exceptional and readily available external defensive cooldown of
.
Battle Resurrection - Restoration Druids are the only healer and only one of three classes that can provide a battle resurrection.
Restoration Druid Raid Weaknesses
Mana Management - Restoration Druids tend to have a more difficult time with mana management than other healers. While trying to pre-empt incoming damage, Restoration Druids can sometime over pre-HoT, resulting in healing that is less than effective and generally a waste of mana. Combine that with generally high mana costs and this can be quite the issue for rookie healers. Striking a good balance between mana efficiency and preparing for incoming damage will be key to success.
Requires Preparation - In order to not be caught off guard by high incoming damage, Restoration Druids need to adequately prepare for damage by applying HoTs in advance. This proactive healing style requires excellent encounter knowledge. It is possible to recover from a lack of preparation, but you'll likely expend additional mana and cooldowns to do so.
Damage - While we can provide damage during downtime, the damage is minor at best.
Unpredictable Spot Healing - While our healing can be quite flexible, we struggle the most with random spot healing that needs to be healed quickly. Because we rely on HoTs, time is a key factor to getting the most out of our healing and being able to predict the damage is key to giving us that time. While we have a few tools like
to bridge the gap, this damage pattern is a Resto Druid's kryptonite.

General Raid Tips
Do your fight research beforehand. Watch videos, watch streams, go over logs, all to recognize damage patterns. Resto Druid is all about proactively pre-HoTing before incoming damage and then reacting with
and other abilities.
Plan out your CDs ahead of time when possible. Try not to overlap large healing CDs (
,
,
,
, etc.) with your other healers, unless absolutely necessary to progress further in the encounter.
Reduce your damage taken and the overall encounter healing requirement by maximizing the effectiveness of your defensives.

While your role in a raid is primarily healing, don't be afraid to cast

If you also do not clear all the

Keep this in mind when you're considering your mana usage, the longer the fight goes on the higher the healing requirement will be.

Notable Eternal Palace Gear
Azshara's Eternal Palace is a full raid tier, with many new items to acquire in every slot, several of which also have special effects that may influence your gearing or gameplay as discussed below. Make sure to visit the
Restoration Druid Gear Guide
for the full Gear list.
Special Effects
Name
Boss
Notes
Stacks a buff at 5 rppm that will unleash damage or healing based on the number of buff stacks if you reach 10% health or mana. Ideally you'd like to avoid hitting those health and mana thresholds entirely, but if you do you'll be given a nice bonus amount of healing and damage. This can be exceptional especially at low mana values to gain a decent amount of healing when you're healing on fumes.
Storm of the Eternal item that once every 2 minutes will unleash damage to a random target. It's not healing and it's not huge amounts of damage, but it doesn't take away from the stat budget so why not. This will happen for everyone wearing a Storm of the Eternal item all at once.
Storm of the Eternal item that once every 2 minutes will proc a critical strike buff split between your allies. This will happen for everyone wearing a Storm of the Eternal item all at once.The more people wearing this item the stronger the critical strike buff. This one does affect your raw throughput and is therefore the more important of the two items.
Azerite Traits
Class S:
- Exceptional when you can maximize the trait. To get the full benefit out of the trait the other members of your raid need to be wearing the trait as well which is easier in raids. Additionally, deaths proc additional stats, but ideally you'll just prefer not to die in most situations.
Class A:
- Because the proc is dependent on the healing requirement, you'll see higher uptime during periods of higher incoming damage. The downside of this type of proc is that it can be wasted if you meet the threshold prior to large amounts of incoming damage. Decent in concept but could use some tuning. The 5% arcane damage healing will be well utilized in
.
Class B:
- Unless you're spending a large amount of your time dealing damage, most of the benefit will be the moderate shield you receive upon dropping below 50% health. Not exceptional for a primary trait.
Trinkets
Trinket
Drop Location
Notes
(Queen's Court) in
With the buff prior to release and the healing being applied to each of the 3 targets instead of split between them, this trinket is extremely good in the current iteration. Can potentially lose a lot of value if you're forced to move without injured targets.
in
Overbudget on-use trinket that grants significant amounts of intellect based on the amount of time spent channeling. With proper timing this will be the premiere trinket for players in
. Since all specs use it, this will be highly competitive to obtain.
in
At 3 rppm proc rate and a 2min buff duration, it's fairly easy to get the full value out of this trinket proc. One big quality of life factor that helps improve this trinket dramatically is that the extra healing cannot overheal, meaning it's all effective healing.
The alchemy trinket of Battle for Azeroth. In Season 3 you'll be able to craft this alchemy trinket up to ilvl 440 with a socket but it will require significant raid time in
to upgrade the abyssal focus found in Nazjatar. While the proc is only 1 rppm, the additional 40% mana and healing from potions equates to 4434 additional mana from
, 10,000 additional mana from
, and 55,000+ additional health from
. Because you're only allowed to use one mana and one health potion a fight, the value of the 40% potion increase diminishes over longer fights. Very strong especially early in
when high ilvl Mythic trinkets are more scarce.
in
At 1.5 rppm, this trinket is a decent option for most casters, but will require you to move to the void tears to open a portal for the buff. If positioning is key for a particular fight this trinket will reduce in value. Because the void tears last for 30s, you can play around this window to get the buff exactly when you want mitigating some of the RNG.
in
At 3 rppm, this trinket is underbudget healing wise when you consider the absorb alone. The versatility buff while the absorb persists likely contributes to this trinket's value, but a 10k absorb in a raid encounter is likely to get consumed quickly.
