This build revolves around Keeper of the Grove to buff your healing massively during your Grove Guardians, thanks to Power of Nature, Bounteous Bloom & Harmony of the Grove.

Master Shapeshifter will allow you to grab some mana during downtimes, outside of your ramp windows.

This will act as a “safe build” for M+, especially good if you want to focus more on healing during some specific dungeons in high keys.

The extra tankiness provided by Protective Growth without any CD attached to it will be a nice addition to help you tank some big hits. You can take Ursoc’s Spirit in the Class Tree if really needed, instead of Primal Fury.

This build is a bit more specific; it’s a very offensive build, revolving around Convoke the Spirits instead of the usual Tree of Life. On the Hero Set, you can choose Implant instead of Twin Sprouts for certain dungeons, to buff your healing quite heavily during Convoke via the extra Swiftmends you’ll proc.

Wildstalker will be the Hero Set for this set-up, bringing a lot of passive additional dps/hps via Thriving Growth, putting the emphasis on your catweaving abilities to proc everything accordingly.

Class Talents

This new arrangement of our tree in TWW is very handy now, especially when it comes to take a lot of utility talents in M+; Skull Bash, Incapacitating Roar, Typhoon and Ursol’s Vortex are all quite easy nodes to access without sacrificing too much this time, maximizing the value of the Class Tree.

Spec Talents

One of the new addition here, which will mostly be useful in M+, is the Call of the Elder Druid & Dream of Cenarius combo, allowing you to proc an additional small HotW every minute, and being able to heal while actively DPS-ing. While it’s still during some weird windows (Dream of Cenarius working ONLY during HotW), it’ll still allow you more freedom during specific set-ups to DPS a bit more, as long as the healing required is not that intense.

Hero Talents

Keeper of the Grove

This set revolves completely around the Grove Guardians, and as such, around your Tree of Life too (thanks to Cenarius’ Guidance).

Its goal is to buff your ramp windows, thanks to talents as Power of Nature, or Harmony of the Grove, by unleashing all your treants during it to benefit of the maximal throughput it can provide.

Wildstalker

This set is a more versatile-one, increasing your DPS & HPS thanks to Thriving Growth on both friends and foes.

It will require you to actively control your healing set-ups & your catweaving windows to benefit entirely of its talents, making this set a bit more friendly in a M+ environment rather than in raid, where you would, most of the time, only be able to use the passive HPS increase.
