Restoration Druid Healer Kit

Every healing spell Restoration Druid has, grouped by the job it does, plus what your cooldowns are and how long they take to come back. Current as of Midnight Season 2 (Curse of Ula'tek).

There is no rotation, no talent build and no stat priority here, on purpose. Those are judgement calls other sites make well, and this page only prints what is in Healper's own data for the spec. If a number is not here, it is because nothing measured it yet.

Your kit, by the job each spell does

These groupings are the ones Healper's analysis itself uses, read straight from the spec's data file - so what you see below is what the scoring is looking at. Durations shown are base durations, before haste and before a refresh extends one.

The layer you keep up

The spells this spec's analysis tracks as maintenance healing - the ones expected to be running rather than cast in response to something.

Cast before the damage lands

The subset Healper looks for ahead of a known damage event when it scores mechanic response.

Healing for damage that already landed

Direct heals and short-cooldown answers, as opposed to the maintenance layer above.

Major cooldowns

The long-cooldown tools. Their recharge times are in the table below.

Defensives for yourself

Damage reduction that only protects you.

Defensives for someone else

Damage reduction you place on another player.

Dispels

What this spec removes. Which debuffs it can actually reach is decided per dungeon at analysis time.

What you have, and how long it takes to come back

The cooldowns Healper tracks on a timeline for this spec. Recharge times are the base values from the spec's own data file, before any talent that shortens them.

What this spec is expected to answer damage with

When Healper checks whether you responded to a dungeon's known damage events, these are the 11 casts it counts as a response for Restoration Druid. Nothing here says which one to use - only that pressing one of them is what the analysis looks for.

Where top players' healing actually comes from
