The healing build of Wowhead’s Restoration guide (its leveling build has the same points as the Elemental one): all 21 points in Restoration, down to Nature's Swiftness for an instant heal. Improved Healing Wave; Mindfulness and Water Shield for Mana; four points of Tidal Mastery for heal crit and Ancestral Healing, which turns those crits into armor on the target; Mana Tide Totem for the group; two points of Natural Grace, the renamed Healing Grace, for less threat; and a point of Healing Focus.
