Restoration Druid

Stat Ranking

Typically as a healer, you just want whatever gives highest item level, but with the legendary you’ll most likely be using for raids (Vision of Unending Growth) you need to hit that 20%+ haste breakpoint as soon as you can.

Stat Outline

Intellect: Increases your spell power, which will boost your overall throughput.

Haste: Increases attack speed, spell casting speed and energy regeneration.

Mastery (Mastery: Harmony): Your healing is increased by a percentage for each of your Restoration healing over time effects on the target.

Crit: Chance for extra effectiveness on attacks and heals.

Versatility: Increases damage and healing done by a percentage and decreases damage taken by a percentage.

Races are a very minor thing and there aren’t many options for druids.

For Horde, you will most likely want to be Troll for the extra haste during your ramp, druid already has a lot of mobility built-in especially with the Night Fae ability so you shouldn’t really need the Highmountain Tauren racial for raids.

For Alliance races you will most often want to go Night Elf just for the utility it offers as the others aren’t that appealing.
