Restoration Druid Stat Priority

Mastery > Versatility > Haste > Critical Strike

Our main focus for stats should be on Mastery, as this increases the amount of healing from our HoT effects. The more HoTs you have on a single target, the more healing they will do.

Next up, we have Versatility and Haste as our second most important stats. Aim to get at least 20% Versatility, opting for more as needed if you are having problems surviving. If your goal is to maximize healing output and if you have no issues surviving, you can play with more Haste. This stat reduces the global cooldown on our spells, reduces the cast time of our spells, and increases the amount of ticks on a HoT effect. Including a decent amount of this stat shouldn’t be looked down upon as it increases our HPS.

Lastly, Critical Strike is our worst stat and should be avoided.

Trinkets

Trinket 1: Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity
Trinket 2: Forged Gladiator’s Medallion
Alternative Trinket: Forged Gladiator’s Emblem

When it comes to trinkets, we will be selecting Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity. It has an extremely high proc chance, and since our sustained healing is even higher than before, it’s the best option.

You will then need a Forged Gladiator’s Medallion to break out of CC every 1 minute and 30 seconds.

An alternative trinket from Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity is Forged Gladiator’s Emblem, as this will assist us with surviving massive burst windows, especially when used with Frenzied Regeneration to increase its overall healing.

Best Restoration Druid Embellishments

Item 1: Energy Redistribution Beacon on any crafted piece.
Item 2: Energy Redistribution Beacon on any crafted piece.

Best Restoration Druid Gems

Core Gems: Cognitive Bloodstone + Versatile Onyx
Alternative Gem: Quick Onyx

In The War Within, you will use a Vicious Jeweler’s Setting to add sockets to your Helmet, Neck, Bracers, Belt and Rings. Two sockets can be added to the Neck and Rings.

With Mastery being your best secondary stat, you will want to both gem and enchant it wherever possible. For your new unique PvP-specific gem, we highly recommend the Cognitive Bloodstone, which acts almost identical to the Precognition Embellishment from Dragonflight.

If you want more Versatility, choose Versatile Onyx. Otherwise, choose Quick Onyx for additional Haste. Regardless of what gem you pick, your highest stat gained will be Mastery to increase the overall effectiveness of your healing spells.
