Rotation

In priority order: the first line that applies is the one you press. Hover a spell for what it does.

  1. Maintain totems that will benefit your group the most via Call of the Elements .
  2. Maintain Water Shield .
  3. Maintain Ancestral Healing on the tank if assigned and needed.
  4. Use Mana Tide Totem when everyone in your group will benefit the most from it.
  5. Use Nature's Swiftness with Healing Wave or Chain Heal for an instant emergency heal.
  6. Maintain Riptide on the tank and players taking constant damage.
  7. Cast Chain Heal for AoE healing. Prioritize targets with a Riptide buff.
  8. Cast Healing Wave or Lesser Healing Wave for single-target healing.

Races

Ranked by how many of a race's racials touch what this spec does, read out of the game's own wording and out of the weapon its gear list aims for. Those are lit; the number on the right is the count. It is a measure, not a verdict: nothing in the beta has been parsed yet, so anything stronger would be a guess.

Alliance Alliance

  1. 1 Dwarf Big Game Hunter Stoneform Find Treasure Earth Fury 1
