Wild Growth, Improved Regrowth, Swiftmend, Bloom, Nature's Swiftness, Living Spirit, Gift of Nature and Tranquil Spirit with Genesis, Nature's Majesty and Nature's Splendor from Balance.

Rotation and priority

  1. Mark of the Wild, Thorns on the tank
  2. Rejuvenation and Regrowth on the tank before the pull
  3. Swiftmend when the tank drops, then reapply the consumed effect
  4. Wild Growth when three or more are hurt
  5. Healing Touch for steady damage; Nature's Swiftness plus Healing Touch for emergencies
  6. Rejuvenation on melee taking cleave; Tranquility as the panic button

Tips

  • Bloom rewards letting Rejuvenation run its full course: do not overwrite early.
  • Living Spirit makes Spirit a healing stat on top of regen.
  • Druids can drink in forms now; shift to Bear when the healer gets charged.
