How you play Restoration Druid

Put slow heals on people early, then fill the big holes with Regrowth.

Your buttons, most important first

Keep Lifebloom up all the time: on the tank, or on yourself in a raid. Efflorescence under the group.
Swiftmend on cooldown, then Rejuvenation: that Rejuvenation lands on 3 people.
Someone drops low: Regrowth. Use Nature's Swiftness first when it is ready.
Nobody needs healing? Wrath on the enemy.

More enemies: Before group damage: Rejuvenation on 5 people. Then Wild Growth and Regrowth, which is now cheap. Huge damage: Tranquility.

Biggest mistake: Casting Regrowth without 5 Rejuvenation out. It costs a lot of mana and you run dry.

Hero talents

Wildstalker (best this season): no new button. Swiftmend leaves a flower: that target gets more healing.

Keeper of the Grove: no new button. Little tree helpers come and heal with you.
