Your spec as a healer Beta data

RestorationHeal-over-time healing, now with Wild Growth and Living Spirit.

Living Spirit
Gift of the Earthmother
Wild Growth

Talent build After launch

Level in Feral, then switch to Restoration for your healer role (dual spec opens at 40). First point at 10, milestones at 11, 16, 21, 31. Respec: at your class trainer in a major city.

The point-by-point build with one-click copy arrives once the Forever talent trees are live and tested. Blizzard hasn't published the full trees, and we won't guess them.

What to grind Beta data

Professions for a Druid

Herbalism + Skinning: Travel Form makes herb routes fast; skin what you kill in Cat Form.
Engineering: Some Engineering gadgets (SAF-T, EZ-Thro) now work in forms, per Blizzard.

Camping (new in Forever)

Cooking's campfire becomes a shared camp. Up to three nearby players can each add one profession-crafted Camp Feature; sit or craft at the camp for a minute to get its buffs. Some camp buffs don't stack with class buffs (Blizzard launch post).

Reputations and zone farming spots: after launch, once the new Forever zones and their factions are mapped on live realms.
