WoW Wrath Classic: Restoration Druid PVE Guide (WotLK)

gamerant.com:

Restoration Druids still excel at single target healing and heals-over-time in Classic Wrath of the Lich King. They've earned a nice spot on our WotLK PvE Healing Tier List thanks to their efficiency, utility, and some reworks that allow them to perform AOE heals. Due to this, there'll be more in demand for raid spots in compositions. The spec is also an absolute blast to play, too. The spec also sees some very welcome quality of life changes that makes you wonder how you ever lived without them.

This guide will focus specifically on level 80 content and abilities. It will be updated throughout the Wrath of the Lich King expansion as more content rolls out.

Wild Growth — The new capstone talent for Restoration Druids. It's a heal-over-time that can be cast on up to five players. It finally gives Resto Druids an AOE heal, and one at instant speed to boot, too.

Nourish — A powerful single target heal that is buffed by the amount of HOTs you have on that target.

Tree of Life — A rework to Tree of Life allows you to cast just about every important spell while in Tree form.

Lifebloom — It now costs more mana, but also gives you half the mana back if you let it complete its duration.

Rebirth — Now a 10-minute cooldown.

Revive — You can now resurrect out of combat. This is not a drill, people.

There are two Resto Druid talent builds in Wrath of the Lich King Classic. They are based on the amount of Haste rating you're able to acquire, allowing you to lower the local cooldown to one second. This is important because you want to maximize the amount of Rejuvenation Healing Over Time effects (HOTs) that are cast on the raid.

Resto Druid Talent Tree for 735 Haste

If you're at a max of 735 Haste, which is the likely outcome for phase one, then
