Restoration Druids in RaidingPrimary Raiding BuildUldirFolhas do OutonoSonho do Despertar

Talents:

Primarily focuses on sustained healing through Rejuvenescer and Folhas do Outono. The build cuts out as many extraneous HoTs allowing to Folhas do Outono to boost the healing of Rejuvenescer, but with the nerf to the healing component and increased Rejuvenescer duration you aren't quite as constrained in terms of talent choice.

Sonho do Despertar provides a nice boost to your overall Dádiva de Ysera healing especially during high damage periods.

Arquivo dos Titãs is a nice stat bonus and activates Sequência de Recriação.

Stat priority will shift to a more Haste/Crit focused one for pieces of similar item level.

Do note that this build allows you to pickup a large number of cooldowns: Florescer, Encarnação: Árvore da Vida, and 2-minute Tranquilidade via Paz Interior. Using these frequently and during periods of high incoming damage will be key to optimizing your healing.

Folhas do OutonoArquivo dos TitãsFolhas do OutonoArquivo dos TitãsRaiding Azerite section of this guideTier 1 Class S+:

Arquivo dos Titãs - Found on Uldir Azerite Armor. The stacking primary stat buff encourages a fast-paced stay-in-combat environment. Excels especially in longer raid encounters. With the September 18th 20% buff to Arquivo dos Titãs, this is the best trait currently available for Restoration Druids and gives greater talent flexibility in comparison to Folhas do Outono.

Folhas do Outono - An excellent trait for raiding Restoration Druids. Makes up about 2-4% of your healing per trait depending on the raid encounter. In raids it's much more likely that a target will only have Rejuvenescer on them so you'll see a much greater uptime of this trait. Please note: has significant anti-synergy with many talents

Sonho do Despertar - Frequency increase provides a 25% increase to Dádiva de Ysera healing. The additional healing per Rejuvenescer is moderate but helpful. The trait doesn't increase the frequency beyond every 4s, so additional Sonho do Despertar traits provide much less value.

Raid Strengths for Restoration Druids

High Mobility - Restoration Druids can reposition quickly while still retaining a large portion of their overall throughput. If an encounter requires players to be on the move for a large portion of the fight, then Restoration Druids tend to excel.

Flexible Healing - Because we heal primarily through HoTs, we can heal a large number of people for a considerable amount or we can focus a large number of HoTs on a single player for some truly inspiring single target healing.

Constant Sustained AoE Raid Healing - While we can be quite flexible, we truly excel above and beyond when the damage pattern is raid wide and sustained.

Multiple Strong Healing Cooldowns - Between Tranquilidade (especially with Paz Interior), Encarnação: Árvore da Vida, and Florescer, Restoration Druids have a lot of answers for bursty incoming damage that causes healers to fall significantly behind if not managed correctly. Tranquilidade is arguably the strongest raid cooldown in Battle for Azeroth, especially when taking prolonged damage.

Strong Defensive Cooldowns - Restoration Druids have a strong personal defensive toolkit including the on-demand Forma de Urso. Additionally, we have an exceptional and readily available external defensive cooldown of Cascaferro.

Battle Resurrection - Restoration Druids are the only healer and only one of three classes that can provide a battle resurrection.

Raid Weaknesses for Restoration Druids

Mana Management - Restoration Druids tend to have a more difficult time with mana management than other healers. While trying to pre-empt incoming damage, Restoration Druids can sometime over pre-HoT, resulting in healing that is less than effective and generally a waste of mana. Combine that with generally high mana costs and this can be quite the issue for rookie healers. Striking a good balance between mana efficiency and preparing for incoming damage will be key to success.

Requires Preparation - In order to not be caught off guard by high incoming damage, Restoration Druids need to adequately prepare for damage by applying HoTs in advance. This proactive healing style requires excellent encounter knowledge. It is possible to recover from a lack of preparation, but you'll likely expend additional mana and cooldowns to do so.

Damage - While we can provide damage during downtime, the damage is minor at best.

Unpredictable Spot Healing - While our healing can be quite flexible, we struggle the most with random spot healing that needs to be healed quickly. Because we rely on HoTs, time is a key factor to getting the most out of our healing and being able to predict the damage is key to giving us that time. While we have a few tools like Recomposição Rápida to bridge the gap, this damage pattern is a Restoration Druid's achilles heel.

General Raid Tips

Do your fight research beforehand. Watch videos, watch streams, go over logs, all to recognize damage patterns. Restoration Druid is all about proactively pre-HoTing before incoming damage and then reacting with Crescimento Silvestre and other abilities.

Plan out your CDs ahead of time when possible. Try not to overlap large healing CDs (Tranquilidade, Reviver, Hino Divino, Totem de Maré Curativa, etc.) with your other healers, unless absolutely necessary to progress further in the encounter.

Reduce your damage taken and the overall encounter healing requirement by maximizing the effectiveness of your defensives. Forma de Urso and Regeneração Frenética is a very unique survivability combination that provides excellent damage reduction and throughput. Don't forget to utilize Pele de Árvore with such a short CD.

While your role in a raid is primarily healing, don't be afraid to cast Fogo Lunar, Fogo Solar, and Ira in your downtime. It might not seem like much but healer DPS can mean the difference between a kill and a wipe in progression.

UldirRecommendations

Heal players afflicted with Descarga de Plasma as they'll be taking moderate damage. Be prepared to heal those hit by the Estática Sanguínea cone if they failed to avoid it.

Tranquilidade and other CDs will be used for Taloc's Clava do Escorno ability which has high AoE damage that falls off the further you are away from the point of impact. Be sure to be 30 yards away to avoid the knockback or don't Tranquilidade early if you have any concerns about being interrupted.

Mythic

Artérias Endurecidas and Coração Aumentado explosions will be another period of high burst damage that you'll likely want to use CDs and prepare for in advance.

You can Arremetida or Arremetida do Tigre to more quickly spread out for Artérias Endurecidas ensuring you don't get hit by more than one of these explosions.

After ensuring you don't have Artérias Endurecidas, you can quickly Investida Selvagem to the tank afflicted with Coração Aumentado.

If you think you'll be taking excessive damage from either ability, then be sure to utilize Forma de Urso and Pele de Árvore to ensure you survive.

Recommendations

Feixe Defensivo de Uldir, Túnel de Vento, and to a lesser extent Chama Purificadora require you to be positioned correctly in order to avoid high damage or even death. As a Restoration Druid, use your mobility and full toolkit of mobility skills (Arremetida, Arremetida do Tigre, and/or Investida Selvagem) to avoid mechanics and keep your healing high.

Tranquilidade and other CDs will be used for players passing through Matriz de Defesa as that will be the bulk of the damage throughout the encounter. The pacing of how many and how quickly players cross the Matriz de Defesa will be dictated by your raid leader.

Mythic

Healers when passing through the Matriz de Defesa spawn a Contágio Viral that will afflict random players with Vírus Endêmico. Dispel this debuff once the player has moved 10yds away from other allies otherwise it will inflict Epidemia Contagiosa. Waiting for the player to call the dispel tends to work out the best rather than just gauging it yourself.

Recommendations

Heal players afflicted with Miasma Fétido as they'll be taking moderate damage. When Miasma Fétido expires, it'll mutate into Paroxismo Pútrido which deals even higher amounts of damage over 6s. Keep players healthy to ensure you're prepared for the increased damage of Paroxismo Pútrido.

Tranquilidade and other CDs will be used for the Pisada de Onda de Choque ability which inflicts high AoE damage and knocks players back. Don't use Tranquilidade till after the knockback has gone out.

Do not forget your tanks as they'll both be taking high damage throughout the encounter especially from Terror Avassalador.

Keep in mind that after Devoradora Fétida reaches 50% health, he gains Frenesi Fétido. This means the final part of the fight will be the most difficult to heal. Save CDs if necessary.

Contributing some DPS during this encounter can be helpful especially with tight checks on killing adds at higher difficulties.

Mythic

Miasma Fétido and Paroxismo Pútrido can spread to players around the afflicted target. This is especially dangerous after the Pisada de Onda de Choque. Utilize your mobility toolkit to allow for constant throughput and allowing other players to pass by you with ease.

If you have more than one stack of Paroxismo Pútrido, then be sure to utilize Forma de Urso and Pele de Árvore to ensure you survive.

Recommendations

Utilize your mobility toolkit to allow for constant throughput, avoid Escuridão Ascendente, spread for Raio Ocular, and drop Trapaça Turbulenta at the far reaches of the room when possible.

Tufão and Vórtice de Ursol are exceptional for keeping the Guerreiro Silitídeos grouped up for optimal damage and away from players.

Shapeshift the Guerreiro Silitídeo's Mandíbula Serrilhada to avoid the 50% slow and additional damage.

Mythic

Both phase 1 and 2 will happen from 100% to 40%, meaning you'll have to deal with Escuridão Ascendente, Raio Ocular, Trapaça Turbulenta, Guerreiro Silitídeo, and Tececaos Nerubiano all at the same time. Generally this doesn't have too much effect on Restoration Druids.

Recommendations

Heal players afflicted with Vetor Ômega as they'll be taking high damage until Vetor Ômega jumps. This is your #1 priority. Combined with Imunossupressão, Contágio and high stacks Infecção Duradoura, these are the players you'll most likely lose if you're not paying attention.

Tranquilidade and other CDs will be used for Vectis's Contágio combined with the Amálgama da Peste's Imunossupressão ability which is a high AoE damage ability with a large healing absorb. Keeping topped up and without the healing absorb is imperative to managing Vetor Ômega.

During Intermission phases, you'll need to keep players healthy in order to soak Bomba Pestilenta. Don't be afraid to soak some yourself with Forma de Urso, Pele de Árvore, and Regeneração Frenética.

During Intermission phases, utilize your mobility toolkit to allow for constant throughput and avoid Gêiser de Sangue lines radiating from Vectis.

Keep Eflorescência under as many groups in your raid as possible to help heal off Imunossupressão.

Abilities will hit harder as the fight progresses due to the ever increasing number of Infecção Duradoura. Make sure you have CDs and some mana for the later parts of the encounter.
Finding time to down a Poção do Reabastecimento can be difficult. I highly recommend nabbing a drink just as Vectis casts Liquefazer but before Bomba Pestilentas go out. Trust me you'll need the extra mana in later difficulties.

Mythic

In addition to another Vetor Ômega, Contágio will cause additional effects based on the number of Infecção Duradoura stacks you currently have. Keeping stacks low is imperative.

Recommendations

Heal players soaking the Fonte das Trevas as they'll be taking moderate to heavy damage. Don't be afraid to soak some yourself with Forma de Urso, Pele de Árvore, and Regeneração Frenética.

Tranquilidade and other CDs will be used for Zul's Revelação das Trevas in Phase 1 and Desejo de Morte dispels in Phase 2. Both abilities deal high AoE damage that falls off the further you are away from the point of impact.

DO NOT INSTANTLY DISPEL Desejo de Morte. Wait for players to be near the edge of the platform to minimize the incoming AoE damage.

In Phase 2, tanks will take large amounts of damage from stacks of Rompendo Sangue. Watch them carefully.

In Phase 2, there will be constant ticking damage from stacks of Sangue Corrompido, so be prepared to heal it.

Tufão and Vórtice de Ursol are exceptional for keeping the Crorg Sedento de Sangues grouped up for optimal damage.

Mythic

Fonte das Trevas applies stacks of Sangue Corrompido. Be especially vigilant with soakers.

Adds will need to be killed in a certain order thanks to Recomposição Sanguínea and Carne em Decomposição. Overall this won't have a major impact on healing.

Recommendations

Due to Esfera do Oblívios and Arma Viva (Mythic Only), the entire raid must be spread out. Try to be close to the center of the room to ensure you have range on the entire raid.

Most abilities will apply Aniquilação causing them to take minor damage and have their max health lowered. Players with high stacks of Aniquilação are priority to keep topped as they're more likely to die. Tell them to collect Fragmento da Existência to reduce their overall stacks.

Tranquilidade and other CDs will be used for Mythrax, o Destripador's Despertar de Xalzaix ability which inflicts high unavoidable AoE damage. Additionally, you can use CDs when multiple players trigger Oblívio Estrondoso or on Mythic when Xalzaix casts multiple Ecos do Caos.

Tufão is exceptional for knocking players out of Esfera do Oblívios without dealing damage to them.

Visão da Loucura cast Açoite Mental Mindflays that don't deal a lot of damage but reduce a players movement speed below 50% making it difficult to dodge mechanics. This can be dispelled if necessary.

Mythic

Xalzaix is in play on Mythic causing additional raid damage via Arma Viva and Ecos do Caos. Be prepared to handle these.

Feixe de Obliteração and Impacto de Obliteração destroy any Fragmento da Existência they contact. As such Aniquilação will be generally higher overall. Be sure to gather the orbs quickly and be prepared to heal players with significantly higher stacks in the later part of the fight.

Recommendations

Be sure to pick up the Barganha Negra buff provided by the Jovem Sombrio, but avoid getting two stacks as you'll become mind controlled.

You can quickly hop up to upper platforms to help with Matriz de Poder transports by utilizing Investida Selvagem and a nearby player or Evocar Estátua de Serpente de Jade.

Tranquilidade and other CDs will be used for Impacto da Recriação or high stacks of Sangue Pútrido. Watch for the Horror Balbuciante's Balbucio Entorpecente to avoid being interrupted midcast of Tranquilidade.

Avoid using Tranquilidade during Colapso as you'll likely be knocked back and have Tranquilidade interrupted.

Nearly all healing spells can be cast while turned away from G'huun, so in Phase 3 you can stay completely turned around to never be caught off guard by the Olhar de G'huun. Just be sure to still avoid the Corrupção Virulenta orbs spawned from Corrupção Explosiva.

I'm really hoping the 30, 45, and 60 tier talents for this raid build were just filled in for the sake of filling in, and are not your actual suggestions....However, I notice that on the Mythic+ guide you left them blank...so if this is serious...

For the most part the utility talents are user's choice, but I'm really curious as to why would you have a raid build include Tufão...You're suggesting a knock-back ability in a raid setting? I can understand the utility of keeping an add away from you, and giving you a chance to relocate...but there are less dangerous ways to accomplish that.
