What’s New for Restoration Druids in The War Within?
As we enter into another expansion, every spec is bound to receive some changes, and with Restoration Druid there is no exception. Instead of our heals focusing predominantly on Lifebloom, we shift back to our roots to reclaim Germination for more buff maintenance. Outside of this change, we have experienced massive revamps towards our class and spec talent trees, allowing for a bit more variance in our toolkit.
To start off with specifics, let’s focus our attention to the spec talent tree, as we have some talent nodes that have been changed.
One of the biggest takeaways from our Druid toolkit is the removal of Adaptive Swarm, and its node is now replaced with Call of the Elder Druid, originally as one of our PvP talent options. The foundations of Restoration Druid continue to manifest within our talent tree, especially from our talents, Reforestation, Grove Guardians, and Incarnation: Tree of Life, to maximize our healing. We have also been introduced with a new talent, Dream of Cenarius, acting as a ‘fistweaving’ talent while Heart of the Wild is active.
Restoration Druids now receive two new Hero talent trees. Our first tree, Keeper of the Grove, is our default Hero talent tree, as this is mainly comprised of buffing the effectiveness of our healing from Grove Guardians. The primary talents offered by this tree are Harmony of the Grove and Dream Surge to counteract massive pressure, while also receiving Treants of the Moon in the process to enhance our padding damage with Moonfire.
Wildstalker is another hero talent tree Restoration Druids can pick if they want to prioritize more cleave and dot damage, although this may be more exclusive in a 2v2 setting as opposed to the competitive 3v3 and Solo Shuffle brackets.
Overall, the outlook on this spec seems to be considered as an extremely powerful healer, with Grove Guardians being your primary source of delivering powerful healing on allies when needed. You’ll also receive more uptime on both your Grove Guardians and Incarnation: Tree of Life as opposed to previously in Dragonflight, making this spec feel way more fluid than before.
