• #showtooltip
• /cast [@mouseover] Rejuvenation;Rejuvenation

2. Addons

2.1. Healer Stat Weights

HSW (Healer Stat Weights) is an addon that will give you personalised stat weights for the content you are doing. You will need to do a boss or complete a dungeon run for it to show anything, since the calculations are based on your healing, they are not simulated in the way DPS specialisations approach this problem. Keep in mind, that the weights you receive will not show you the value of stats for everything. Dungeons and even each different boss will have highly varying values, depending on talents, your playstyle and various other factors. It is recommended to use weights from one boss only on that one boss and have a separate weight for dungeons for the most accurate results.

HSW has an option to export weights to Pawn. Updating them regularly will make your gearing decisions much easier.

2.2. Raid Frames

To perform well as a Restoration Druid, you will need to see more HoTs on players in the group than the standard interface allows. There are multiple addons that will change your raid frames that you could use, pick any one of them:

• Grid 2
• VuhDo
• ElvUI
• BigDebuffs

In case you do not want to use a different raid frame addon, BigDebuffs expands the functionality of Blizzard raid frames.

To complement Grid2, ElvUI and BigDebuffs, you should either make mouseover macros as shown above or install Clique.

2.3. Boss Mods

Preparation for boss mechanics is extremely important as a Restoration Druid. You should have either BigWigs or Deadly Boss Mods installed.

2.4. WeakAuras

WeakAuras is without a doubt the most powerful addon that can perform almost any task. There are a lot of readily available WeakAuras on wago.io that will help you track procs, cooldowns, buffs, and debuffs.
