Introduction
This guide was written by Heregellas.
Heregellas, or Alisza on his priest, is mostly playing disc/holy priest or resto druid during progress. He previously raided in From Scratch, and in Impact as an officer & raid leader before joining Method.
Restoration Druid is a versatile healer with access to damage, crowd control, mobility, and robust healing throughput that makes them great healers for Mythic+.
In raids, they will be able to provide a huge amount of healing during some specific regular windows with a proactive type of healing (what we call “a ramp”), and can completely carry the healing throughput on the whole raid during those.
What has changed
The new addition in The War Within is the set of Hero Talents; each spec will have access to another small special tree, shared with another spec, that will grant the player a new set of 10 points (+ the base one) that you’ll be able to take through leveling.
All 10 points will be granted to the player. The choices players can make will revolve around 4 of these points, being dual-talents nodes, in addition to the whole set of Hero Talents, since you’ll be able to choose between two of them.
For Restoration Druids, you’ll have access to the Keeper of the Grove set (shared with Balance), or the Wildstalker one (shared with Feral).
