Restoration — mobile healing and control
Arena optionArena starting point
Restoration uses healing over time and movement to create time for the team. The important choice is when it is safe to leave healing for Cyclone, a form change or a drink. Do not assume a Tree of Life raid build and an arena mobility build have the same priorities.
Talent Priorities
These are the key talent choices behind the build. The complete level-70 allocations are listed below. Open the TBC talent guide ↗
Restoration

Stat Priority
Primary Stats
- Resilience and stamina: survive the enemy setup before optimizing throughput.
- Healing power and mana resources: judge upgrades against your match length and healing needs.
Secondary Stats
- Spirit, MP5 and intellect have different value by class, talents and available drinking windows.
- Haste is useful only if the resulting gear still lets you survive and sustain.
Gear Priority
Weapons
- Compare weapons for your active role and the season available on your realm.
Armor
- Build a coherent PvP set before trading away survival for a single PvE upgrade.
- Honor and arena purchases should solve your largest weakness: survival, reliable control or pressure.
Accessories
- Keep the appropriate PvP crowd-control trinket available.
- Choose the second trinket for your matchup and set; no universal resilience threshold makes every PvE item safe.
Consumables
Arena
- Prepare permitted class-created resources, reagents and bandages before queueing.
- Use arena-eligible water for drinking; create a safe out-of-combat window.
- Normal potions and flasks are not part of a rated arena loadout. Keep battleground consumable plans separate.
Playstyle Guide
Decisions
- Prepare healing before your teammate moves into pressure or before you expose yourself for control.
- Use Cyclone with a purpose: deny healing, interrupt pressure or stop a defensive window. Your team cannot damage a Cycloned target.
- Shift out of roots and slows when useful, but account for mana and the vulnerability of the next form.
Review
- Find one Cyclone attempt that cost healing uptime. Choose a safer position or a later cast window.
Key Matchups
Look for these opportunities
- Prepare healing before moving out for a Cyclone that your partner can use.
- Use a successful peel to reach cover and recover resources instead of immediately returning to open ground.
Struggles Against
- Purges and swaps can remove prepared healing or catch you exposed.
- Chasing control too far can separate you from the teammate who needs healing.
General Druid Tips
One decision to review
Find one Cyclone attempt that cost healing uptime. Choose a safer position or a later cast window.
