Druid at level 60: Restoration healing
At 60 most druids in raids heal with Restoration: heals over time,
Swiftmend and Rebirth, and in Forever
Omen of Clarity from the Balance tree for free spells. This is a starting point: Forever has no raid results yet, so treat the build as preliminary. Leveling first? See the Feral leveling guide.

Key talents.
Naturalist is new in Forever and shortens Healing Touch and Wild Growth.
Reflection keeps mana coming while you cast.
Tranquil Spirit and
Improved Rejuvenation make your core heals cheaper and stronger,
Nature’s Swiftness gives an instant big heal, and
Gift of Nature and
Improved Regrowth raise healing.
Swiftmend consumes a heal over time for an instant heal.
Nature’s Focus protects casts from pushback. From Balance,
Natural Weapons opens
Omen of Clarity, which makes some spells free.
Healing priorities
- Rejuvenation on the tank and on people who will take damage.
- Regrowth for quick healing with a heal over time on top.
- Healing Touch at the right rank for big heals;
Nature’s Swiftness plus Healing Touch in emergencies.
Swiftmend to turn a heal over time into an instant heal.- Rebirth on a dead healer or tank, Remove Curse and Abolish Poison when asked.
Stats
Healing power and Intellect first, then Spirit and mana regeneration (
Reflection makes Spirit work while casting), then Stamina.
In the group
Druids usually keep heals over time on the tanks and help with group healing. Keep Mark of the Wild up and save Rebirth for the moment it changes the fight.
The build is checked against the Forever client files (build 1.60.1.70790); priorities and stats follow the original game and will be revised with Forever raid results.
