Restoration Druid PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Dragonflight 10.2)

The stat priority for Restoration Druid in PvP is as follows:

1. Intellect;
2. Versatility;
3. Mastery;
4. Haste;
5. Critical Strike.

Intellect is the best stat in all situations. The most important secondary stat is Versatility. This increases the damage/healing you do and reduces the damage you take. Mastery ( Mastery: Harmony)is the next strongest secondary stat due to it increasing your healing for each heal over time effect is on the target.

In general, Restoration Druids want to get trinkets that either help with Mana recovery or increase your survivability. The stats you want to be increasing are Intellect or Versatility. The reason you want to increase Intellect is because it drastically increases your overall healing output. For more information about your spells in PvP, please refer to our dedicated page.

As noted above, acquiring both your 2-set and 4-set bonus is crucial. It is also important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed by 50% in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances of winning. For Restoration Druids, this is your tier set:

• Druid Restoration 10.2 Class Set 2pc — You and your Grove Guardian's Nourishes now heal 2 additional allies within 40 yds at 40% effectiveness. This set bonus is a strong increase to your healing output.
• Druid Restoration 10.2 Class Set 4pc — Consuming Clearcasting now causes your Regrowth to also cast Nourish onto a nearby injured ally at 200% effectiveness, preferring those with your heal-over-time effects.

Embelishments are bonuses that can be put on crafted gear. These effects can have a drastic impact on the game. You are only allowed to have 2 Embellishments are equipped at the same time. Here are the recommended Embellishments for Balance Druids:

• Blue Silken Lining. This embellishment gives you a Mastery increase when you are above 90% health. Because you are not the kill target most of the time, this is a great embellishment to have and should be crafted on your Ring.
• Statuette of Foreseen Power. This embellishment makes it so that when an interrupt is used on you while you are not casting, you gain haste and are immune to all crowd control for 4 seconds. Ideally, this is crafted on your boots.

Here are the best enchants for a Restoration Druid:

• Cloak: Enchant Cloak - Homebound Speed

• Bracers: Enchant Bracer - Devotion of Speed
• Waist: Shadowed Belt Clasp
