Restoration Druid BiS — Phase 2

Serpentshrine Cavern / Tempest Keep

Restoration Druid is TBC's tank-HoT machine: triple-stacked Lifeblooms rolling on two tanks, Rejuvenation blanketing the raid, Swiftmend saves in between. Tree of Life turns your gear into the group's throughput — the phase lists below stack the +healing and spirit that aura wants. This Phase 2 snapshot aggregates 310 top healing parses from Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep; the highest-consensus pick is Idol of the Emerald Queen at 67% usage.

Restoration Druid stat priority (Phase 2 PvE)

  1. Bonus Healing
  2. >Spirit
  3. >Intellect
  4. >MP5
  5. >Haste

Lifebloom stacks tick off +healing with absurd coefficient efficiency, and the Tree of Life aura converts your spirit into the whole party's healing — two reasons resto druids gear differently from every other healer.

Restoration Druid PvE FAQ

Where does Restoration Druid Phase 2 BiS come from?

From the gear worn by 310 top-ranked Restoration Druid healing parses on Warcraft Logs during Phase 2 (Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep), aggregated per slot — what high parsers actually equip, not a spreadsheet ideal.

What are the highest-consensus Restoration Druid items in Phase 2?

Idol of the Emerald Queen (67%), Grove-Bands of Remulos (65%), Nordrassil Life-Mantle (55%). When an item sits above ~70% among top parsers, treat it as the priority drop to chase.

Should I follow this list exactly for Phase 2?

Use it as a loot-priority guide, not a checklist — expand each slot's alternatives, because second-choice items are often within a few percent and drop from entirely different bosses in Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep.
