Leveling a Restoration Druid
We don't give Restoration its own leveling route: most players level as another Druid spec and switch at 60. Level with one of these, one talent point a level from 10, then respec into the build above:

Questions
What are the best Resto Druid talents in WoW Forever?
Our recommended Restoration Druid build is 10/0/41: Restoration to Wild Growth, Genesis from Balance. It is one of the Forever sim's preset builds. Nobody has played a level 60 yet, so treat it as a starting point until launch on 4 November.
Are WoW Forever's Restoration talents the same as Classic's?
No. Forever's Restoration tree has 16 talents, and 4 of them do not exist in Classic: Naturalist, Gift of the Earthmother, Living Spirit and Wild Growth. Another 7 have different ranks, positions or numbers. The tree is still seven rows deep, and each row still needs five points spent above it.
What is the Restoration 31-point talent in WoW Forever?
Wild Growth, which is new in Forever. Heals the target and their party for 280 over 7 sec. Party members must be within 43.5 yards of target. The amount healed is applied quickly at first, and slows down as Wild Growth reaches its full duration.
How should I level a Restoration Druid in WoW Forever?
Level as Balance Druid or Feral Druid, then respec to Restoration at 60. Few players level as Restoration, so we give the leveling routes on those pages: one talent point a level from 10, with no respec on the way.
How many talent points do you get in WoW Forever?
51 at level 60, one per level from level 10, as in Classic. The Legacy perk Talented starts them at level 5 instead, which matters for alts while levelling.
Where does this talent data come from?
From the WoW Forever beta client's own talent tables (build 1.60.1.70338), not from Classic. Every tooltip on this page is rendered from the client's spell data, and we checked them against the numbers the beta's own tooltips show. The trees can still change before launch.
