Smudgey's Guide to Druid Restoration Healing

#0 - March 29, 2008, 1:37 a.m.

This is my first attempt at a druid restoration PVE guide explaining how I play and what I do. I am open to suggestions and criticisms you may have as I may have made a few typos and using a technique that may not be the best. I am also keen to here on any other sections you may wish to see. I use a variety of links throughout the guide. This is mainly because I find that the links are useful and informative and I am not taking any credit for the sites.

Have fun,
Chris.

1.Spec
To start off your resto journey you will first have to consider what spec you should go. First of all I am going to assume that you are here for PvE (the title ;) ). I am not such a big PvP person myself I mainly do it in when I’m on WoW and waiting for a raid. Basically the spec im going to show you fits in with the style of play that I use. It is very much lifebloom orientated however it still gives you some grinding talents that I find useful.

I am open to suggestions with this build and if you reply to this thread with your own PvE talent builds and a little passage connecting it I will add to this section. Before judging the spec i recommend you read through the guide so you understand my style of playing relating to the spec.
