Restoration Druid Healing Amirdrassil Raid Guide — Season 4

Below, you can find class and spec-specific advice for every fight in Amirdrassil. If you are looking for a general overview of the Raid that is not spec-specific, check out our dedicated Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope guides.

On this page, you will find Restoration Druid specific information to deal with each boss in the Amirdrassil raid. These are not complete encounter guides but specific tips for doing the bosses as a Restoration Druid.

We assume that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Restoration Druid and how you can deal with each fight as best as possible.

The build provided here is a generic one, which will work on all bosses reasonably well.

• Plan your cooldowns for Uprooted Agony, where the raid will take heavy damage. This happens after each Intermission; the first one is going to be at roughly 2 minutes into the pull. The damage event will last roughly 20 seconds, making it an ideal target for Incarnation: Tree of Life and all your other cooldowns.
• Track Ember-Charred (ID 421038) debuff on players. They will be especially in danger once the Intermission ends and raid damage starts.

• Players targeted by Blistering Spear should be topped and have a few HoTs on them. Continue spot healing them as they are tethered.
• Make sure you heal players with Heart Stopper debuffs. They are large healing absorbs that will last 15 seconds.
• Utilize Stampeding Roar to help your group run to the marked positions for Marked for Torment.

• This fight generally splits the raid into 2 groups. This is ideal for our Mastery. Nothing really changes healing-wise, but you can use a bit more Mastery heavy gear, if you have access to it.
• The largest raid damage happens during Serpent's Fury. The damage lasts only 5 seconds, so plan accordingly. You will have to Flourish slightly before it happens so that you can Regrowth during.
• Spot heal players with Coiling Flames debuffs.
• Use Stampeding Roar to help your raid quickly soak the Flood of the Firelands circles and spread back out quickly.

The only notable change here is the presence of a Poison debuff. You will have to put one point into Improved Nature's Cure.

• Track Poisonous Javelin debuff. It is a poison, which you should dispel immediately.
• The damage mechanics you should use your cooldowns for are Barreling Charge, Emerald Winds, and Constricting Thicket. Keep in mind that you should not use Tranquility during Emerald Winds.

• Prioritize healing the Charred Treant. They should show up on your boss frames. You can use Flourish after using HoTs on them.
• Heal Scorching Brambles as well. After they are healed, and the boss starts casting Raging Inferno, your raid will take significant damage. You will struggle to both ramp for this damage and heal the roots, so it is advised to use Tranquility there.
• After 3 casts of Raging Inferno, the boss will cast Consuming Flame, which will last 16 seconds. This makes an ideal ramp window for all your cooldowns but Tranquility.
• Once the boss reaches 40%, the soft enrage part of the fight starts. Plan your cooldowns to have all of them available in the end.

• You cannot use Wild Charge or jump over Verdant Matrix lines and Impending Loom beams.
• Use cooldowns during Continuum or Viridian Rain.
• Keep healing players with multiple stacks of Verdant Matrix.

• BkGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA0ikElWkIhUQiIFhWkEAAAAAAAAAAAAoAIJCCSAkESiUIplIAAAAAgIAAIC

• It is extremely important that during the Intermission, you collect Ignited Essence. It will give you a massive healing boost; failing to do so will result in the boss dealing extra damage instead.
• Brand of Damnation will put a massive healing absorb on some players in the raid. This can be an ideal time to use Flourish.

• BkGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA0ikElWkIhUQiIFhWkEAAAAAAAAAAAAoAIJCCSAkESiUIplIAAAAAgIAAIC

• Only dispel Fiery Growth once the player is out of the raid.
• Mass Entanglement can be removed by simply shifting.
• Heal players afflicted by Suppressive Ember; it is a healing absorb.
• Ramp and use cooldowns for Flaming Germination.

• Most of the damage on this boss happens in Phase 1 and in the Intermission. Plan your cooldowns to maximise the usage in these 2 parts of the boss.
• In Phase 1 you can Flourish both Dream Rends, if you use Tranquility between them on one of the raid damage mechanics.
• Another option, especially if you push from Phase 1 to the Intermission very soon after the Dream Rend, is to use your first Flourish at some point before the first Dream Rend. Then you have Flourish back for the second Dream Rend. You will want to use Tranquility at some point, either at the start of the Intermission or on the first set of Blazes after the Dream Rend. That way you get a Flourish in the Intermission you otherwise wouldn't be able to.
• Do not try to maximise cooldown usage in Phase 2. It is generally the lowest damage-taken phase and can eat a significant amount of Mana for small gains. Healing any sort of adds here is really bad. Restoration Druids are probably the worst healing specialization in the game for this role.
• Use Incarnation: Tree of Life in Phase 2 in a way that does not block you from getting at least two uses of it in Phase 3 (on Mythic at least). Depending on the speed of your kill, it might be very tight unless you manage to get it in the very start of Phase 3. Drop one use in Phase 2 to achieve this.
