Diagnosing Performance Issues for Restoration Druids
If you're struggling to keep your allies alive in Mythic+ or can't seem to compete with other healers in raid, then this section was created especially for you. In this section, we'll take a look at some common problems and major pitfalls that rookie and veteran Restoration Druids alike tend to make when healing.
Before we begin, I want to go through three things:
First, be sure to check out the entirety of this guide as it contains a wealth of information on what you already should be doing as a Restoration Druid.
Second, you are your best resource for diagnosing problems with your healing. While I can look at a log of your encounter or dungeon to assess issues, there are elements of your play and the play of your raid/party that logs can't capture.
Finally, be sure to log encounters, so you have a concrete way to look back and evaluate your performance. It might not be efficient to check logs after every pull, but there is significant value in analyzing your play after the raid night. It's free and relatively easy to set up. For more information see our Wowhead Warcraft Logs Guide.
Common Mistakes & Questions
What's the Best UI? How can I Improve my reaction time?
One of the most problematic issues for Restoration Druids and healers in general is UI. I've met countless struggling players wondering why their performance is subpar only to later see a screenshot of their UI where the vast majority of screen real estate is covered in obnoxious and useless addons. If you're not efficiently receiving the information the game is throwing at you, then how can you expect to respond expediently and effectively. While what works for me in regards to UI may not work for you; however, generally speaking, a clean and clear UI dramatically outperforms one that is convoluted or cluttered.
Raid Frames - Knowing what buff/debuffs are on allies, allows you to pre-empt damage and react appropriately. Diagnosing and triaging at a glance greatly speeds up reaction time and that can be the difference between saving your allies life or burning a battle rez on them.
Keybindings & Macros - Having comfortable and non-obscure keybindings will greatly improve your reaction time. Additionally, using mouseover macros or similar addons can improve your reaction time as well. If you have to go searching for the right keybinding or have to click a target before being able to use an ability on them, then you might be only wasting a few seconds; however, these seconds can add up to long periods of downtime that will have a noticeable effect on your healing.
Cooldown & Personal Buff/Debuff Management - If you don't know if an ability is off cooldown or that you're standing in particularly nasty fire, your performance is going to suffer. Consider using WeakAuras to move important information in an area that won't draw your attention away.
Tunneling - Healing already asks a great deal from the player compared to a damage dealer. Our focus is being pulled in multiple directions at any given time, and too often healers will tunnel on their raid frames and completely forget about their personal awareness. A dead healer doesn't do any healing, so make sure that you're looking up from your raid frames with a fair amount of frequency.
See the
Macro and Addon Section
for more information on recommended addons and how to develop a UI that works for you.
Why do I run out of mana way before the end of the encounter?
How to appropriately manage mana is a common issue for Restoration Druids, especially with players who used to exclusively DPS. As a damage dealer, most resource management comes down to trying not to cap on resources, effectively wasting damage. As a healer, there's a careful balance that you have to play around. Expend too much mana early, and you might find yourself OOM halfway through the fight. Spending too little mana means you could have potentially done more healing.
Evaluate Your Mana Curve - By mana curve, I mean, be aware of your mana usage over the course of a fight. In WarcraftLogs, go to the resources tab and evaluate your mana over the course of an encounter. Are you running on fumes with several minutes of the fight still left? Are you ending the fight with a surplus? How does your mana curve compare to other Restoration Druids? Being conscious of your mana is the first step to dealing with mana issues. Do note that you're likely to use more mana early on in a fight as players begin to learn the encounter. Hopefully, as you continue to progress, the amount of incoming damage will lessen, and you'll find some mana relief.
Damage Patterns & Spell Usage - Now that you're aware of how much mana you're expending and at what parts of the encounter you're expending it, you now need to ask yourself if you're using the right abilities for the damage patterns you're encountering. If players need to be topped immediately, you'll likely need to expend more mana on abilities that produce more throughput like
愈合
. You can help cushion this expenditure by utilizing cooldowns like
宁静
which are extremely mana efficient for the excessive amount of healing they provide. If players are in no immediate danger, you can use more efficient, yet slower heals to top players up. Consider letting your HoTs top players and spending those extra GCDs on mana-free damaging abilities. Knowing damage patterns and selecting the appropriate abilities to respond to that damage is critical to better mana efficiency.
激活
Usage - Utilizing your
激活
early and often is key to mana management. Too often players will wait to use
激活
till they're already low on mana. Optimizing the number of usages over the course of an encounter will save significantly more mana then waiting till it's already too late.
Balance Druid
激活
and Holy Priest
希望象征
- These extra mana tools provided by other players should be utilized by you or the other healers in your raid. Remember that healing is a team game, so share appropriately. Just make sure that someone in your raid is taking advantage of this amazing utility.
Potioning - Ensure that you're consuming a
灵魂神智药水
sometime during the fight when you can fully benefit from the mana. It can be tricky to complete the full 10s channel, but doing so is greatly rewarding even at the cost of downtime. Be sure to alert your other healers that you're drinking so they can be sure to take in the extra slack of being down a healer and toss you extra heals to ensure you get the full channel. If you can't find 10s worth of downtime, utilize an instant
灵魂法力药水
instead.
Drinking - This one is primarily for Mythic+, but utilizing food/drink to regenerate mana during combat drops can ensure that you're always prepared to provide your full healing throughput. You can continue drinking while your other allies are in combat, you just need that initial combat drop to start drinking.
Why do I feel like I'm constantly falling behind when healing as a Restoration Druid?
To maximize your potential as a Restoration Druid, you need to be proactively healing before the damage happens. If you're only reactively responding to the damage, then you're already behind. The power of a Restoration Druid is in their ability to apply HoTs prior to the damage. These HoTs will continue healing as soon as the damage occurs but also empower your other healing via Mastery. Beware of proactively healing too much, as it can be very detrimental to your mana efficiency. Try to limit your proactive healing to ensure that most of the healing is effective. Knowledge of the fights is critical to understanding this careful balance.
How can I make better use of my cooldowns and increase my uptime?
Always Be Casting - While your primary role in raid is to be healing and you're likely to be doing that proactively, there will be some downtime compared to tanks and damage dealers. However, always remain active. If there's no healing to be done and there won't be any incoming healing for some time, cast some damaging abilities. It is imperative that as a healer you're always contributing. Healer damage can be critical to securing a kill. While healing, ensure that each cast follows another unless you need to move.
生命绽放
and
百花齐放
Uptimes - Because these abilities don't have an actual cooldown, some Resto Druids tend to forget about them at various points throughout an encounter.
生命绽放
is an extremely efficient heal that can contribute a fair amount of healing all by itself. Combined with
光合作用
, a high
生命绽放
uptime is critical to maximizing our overall throughput. Similarly,
百花齐放
contributes a large amount of healing overall and that can be further enhanced with
春暖花开
. Be sure that
百花齐放
is always under a large group of injured targets to maximize its healing. Do not let either ability's uptime suffer as it will quickly show in your overall throughput. See the
Macro and Addon Section
for a WeakAura that can help.
Short Cooldown or Low Impact Cooldown Usage - Maximize the number of uses of short cooldown abilities such as
塞纳里奥结界
,
迅捷治愈
,
繁盛
, etc. and abilities that might have a longer cooldown but lower impact such as
狂暴
. However, do not waste the healing effect to get them on cooldown as soon as possible. Try to make their healing as effective as possible, but also don't prolong their usage where you could get multiple extra uses out of them over the course of the encounter.
Long Cooldown Usage - Similarly to short cooldowns, you'll want to maximize the number of uses of long cooldown abilities such as
宁静
(especially with
平常心
),
万灵之召
, and
化身:生命之树
. These cooldowns tend to have a higher impact, and you should work with your other healers to plan their usage accordingly to overcome large amounts of incoming damage. This planning sometimes involves using them when not fully effective, in conjunction with another healer's cooldown to get the maximum number of uses, or delaying them to cover for a particularly dangerous portion of the encounter. Remember that healing is a team game, so sometimes you may need to eat a throughput loss to help the team progress.
Why am I always dying as as Restoration Druid?
Restoration Druids come with a robust defensive toolkit. Utilize defensive cooldowns early and often to reduce the overall healing requirement and ensure that you're still alive to continue healing. Additionally, make sure you're dispelling priority debuffs and enrages to minimize the total healing requirement.
