About Our Reviewer

This guide has been reviewed and approved by Torty, a theorycrafter in the Dreamgrove Discord server, author of this Restoration Druid spreadsheet, and currently raiding in Pure.

1. Gems for Restoration Druids

You should use Masterful Argulite (or the cheaper Masterful Shadowruby) in all sockets.

2. Enchants for Restoration Druids

Slot	Enchantment
Neck	Enchant Neck - Mark of the Trained Soldier
Back	Enchant Cloak - Binding of Intellect Enchant Cloak - Word of Intellect (cheaper)
Rings	Enchant Ring - Binding of Haste Enchant Ring - Word of Haste (cheaper)

3. Consumables for Restoration Druids

Flask of the Whispered Pact should be used for raids along with Potion of Deadly Grace (if not using Feral Affinity), Potion of the Old War (if using Feral Affinity), or Potion of Prolonged Power, and Leytorrent Potion as your potions of choice. The DPS potions can optionally be used as a pre-pot at the beginning of the fight where healing is not very intense, while your Leytorrent Potion is a one time usage potion per fight where you can restore Mana at the cost of not being able to cast or move while the effect lasts.

You should eat Lavish Suramar Feast for the buff to your Intellect (or the cheaper Hearty Feast if you cannot afford the +500 food). Alternatively, you can eat Nightborne Delicacy Platter (or the cheaper Barracuda Mrglgagh) to buff your Mastery.

Astral Healing Potion can be used in place of Healthstones. Ancient Mana Potion can also be used once per fight as an instant Mana restore.

If you can afford it, you should also use augment runes (which work in both raids and Mythic+ dungeons). Defiled Augment Rune is the cheap rune with a one-time use. Lightforged Augment Rune costs 40,000 and requires exalted reputation with the Army of the Light faction.
