Restoration Druid Healer Season of Discovery Best in Slot
We recommend using the gear listed below for Phase 4 as your main goal in the current phase of Season of Discovery. Previous phase BiS lists have remained for new characters and to help fill out missing slots as you level.
These lists assume a stat priority of:
Spell Healing > Mp5 > Intellect > Spirit > Stamina
For more information on the stats that you should be looking for, check out the stats page listed below.
To help with presentation clarity, items that have Alliance and Horde versions with similar acquisition methods but different names will only have one of the versions listed in the tables below.

Damage Focused Gnomeregan (Phase 2) Restoration Druid Best in Slot
This list is made up of Gnomeregan raid drops, world drops, profession gear, quest rewards and dungeon drops.
As Restoration Druids are often finding themselves as damage dealers who press Wild Growth on cooldown, this is a gear list aimed at making your hybrid damage and healing capabilities as good as possible, focusing on Spell Damage and Healing gear, rather than pure Healing.

Healing Focused Gnomeregan (Phase 2) Restoration Druid Best in Slot
If you prefer to just heal, then there are a few strong Healing Power pieces available to assemble a full pure healing set based around the Hyperconductive Mender's Meditation Gnomeregan 3-piece set as detailed below.

Blackfathom Depths (Phase 1) Restoration Druid Best in Slot
This list is made up of Blackfathom Deeps raid drops, world drops, quest rewards and dungeon drops. While green of Healing or Intellect / Spirit bind on equip gear can also be good, most slots have stronger option, especially this early into the game when Mana pools are still low and Intellect is stronger than it would usually be.
