There is not much choice here, you will not have enough targets for Abundance
to work and
Nourish takes too long to cast.

You will mainly be taking Wild Charge to speed up going through the
tower. The other options are not particularly impressive. You can pick
Renewal
instead if you decide to go slower.

Feral Affinity has the best synergy with Anima Powers and
provides the highest damage potential.

Mighty Bash can be a strong choice for solo play to control certain
caster NPCs, because Restoration Druids do not have an interrupt otherwise.
For group play, you should use
Heart of the Wild. Roots from
Mass Entanglement
provide only a fraction of damage normal
Entangling Roots will give.
The talent is still decent if you want to do more AoE damage via Root Anima powers,
but otherwise it is very unimpressive.

Pick Soul of the Forest on this row for increased burst
healing. Neither of the other two options really do anything useful in Torghast.

Both Inner Peace and
Spring Blossoms are not going to do
anything for solo play. Pick
Overgrowth to save time on healing yourself.
Spring Blossoms should only be used in 4- or 5-man group runs.

Germination can offer an extra healing cushion when doing any solo content
and Torghast is not an exception. Consider using
Photosynthesis when
playing in groups of 4 or 5 players.
Best Restoration Druid Anima Powers
Torghast is a rogue-like dungeon crawl where you gain additional powers to help you tackle the challenges inside the tower. Here we will go over some of the Anima Powers to keep a look out for.
Not all powers will be listed, just those that have been tested or those that seem like they would synergize well with the class. Those not listed have either little information surrounding them or are too poor to use. If you are interesting in a full list, please refer to the buttons below.
Keep in mind that this is a very loose and subjective tier-list of items and that different playstyles will prefer different powers and some powers activate others.

B-Tier Anima Powers for Restoration Druid
C-Tier Anima Powers for Restoration Druid
Elethium Powers
Elethium Powers are strong buffs that come with drawbacks that can range from healing losses to loss of some character control. The ones with the healing reduction passives only reduce your healing if they specifically state "Nature healing", all of the rest will not reduce your healing at all and are thus safe to pick. Make sure you do not pick damage reductions on Nature and Physical schools, because those are important to your clear speeds.
Restoration Druid Playstyle for Torghast, Tower of the Damned
Restoration Druid is a decent spec to do Torghast as. All enemies will have less Health to compensate for you being a healer. Below we will list a few tips that might help you decide on which powers to pick and which to skip.
- As a Restoration Druid, you are not overly concerned with survivability, but you might lack damage to beat certain elites. One of the best tactics is to take it slow early and kill every enemy you can find to maximize your Anima Powers for later levels. It might not seem necessary, but it will help you later.
- Overall, almost every power in Torghast will increase your damage in one way or another. Do not be afraid to pick some defensive powers here and there.
- If you have bad gear or decide to take it very safe, you can wait for
Convoke the Spirits cooldown before pulling anything that looks dangerous. Pick powers for Convoke whenever possible and try to separate enemies from each other using
Entangling Roots.
- Do not pick too many
Curious Bramblepatch Anima powers. While it is nice to kill enemies without them touching you, this does not work on last boss of the layer. One or two are fine to kill particularly annoying enemies in big packs, but more of those will slow you down by a lot.
