Welcome to our Restoration Druid healing guide for World of Warcraft WoD 6.0.3. Here, you will learn everything you need to know about playing a Restoration Druid in a raid environment, although most of the content also applies to normal and heroic dungeons.
This guide has been reviewed and approved by Sonie, a Restoration Druid who raids in Method, one of the best guilds in the world. You can follow him on Twitter.

Restoration Druids are an interesting healing class. They cannot be easily classified as either tank healer or raid healer. Rather, they perform a sort of hybrid role of blanketing the raid with HoTs while providing good assistance on the main tank.
Restoration Druids are also reliant on keeping up several refreshable buffs and HoTs.
Currently, Restoration Druids provide very solid healing overall and also bring several useful buffs and cooldowns to your raid, making them a very good choice.
In order to properly play a healing role, you will need more than just class-specific information. To better understand healing in general, we recommend that you read our healing guide.
To make it easy to navigate the guide, we have split it into 7 pages:
- Builds, Talents, and Glyphs: learn how to choose your talents and glyphs;
- Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities: master your rotation and your cooldowns;
- Buffs, Debuffs, and Useful Abilities: discover your arsenal of useful abilities;
- Statistics Priority: read up on the respective values of your statistics;
- Gems, Enchants, and Consumables: choose the best gems, enchantments, etc.;
- Macros and Addons: step up your game with useful macros and addons;
- Gearing Up and Best in Slot: find the best gear you can wear.
