On this page, you will find a number of useful macros and addons to make your life easier when playing your Restoration Druid in World of Warcraft — The War Within (11.0.5).
If you were looking for WotLK Classic content, please refer to our TBC Druid addons and macros.
Macros
Generic Macros for Druids
Rebirth
- #showtooltip Rebirth
- /cast [@mouseover,help]Rebirth;Rebirth
This macro casts Rebirth on your mouseover target if they are a friendly player. Otherwise, it casts Rebirth on your current target.
Shapeshift forms
- #showtooltip Bear Form
- /cast [noform:1] Bear Form
- #showtooltip Cat Form
- /cast [noform:2] Cat Form
- #showtooltip Travel Form
- /cast [noform:3] Travel Form
- #showtooltip Incarnation: Tree of Life
- /cast !Incarnation: Tree of Life
These macros will shift you into a corresponding form. Spamming the button will not put you out of the forms.
Canceling forms
- /cancelform
This macro will shift you out of any current form.
Specific Macros for Restoration Druids
Convoke the Spirits macro
If you want to use Nature's Swiftness with Convoke the Spirits, you will often find yourself canceling the Convoke cast due to spell queue or Nature's Swiftness is used during the cast. To avoid this, use the following macro:
- #showtooltip Convoke the Spirits
- /cast [nochanneling] Nature's Swiftness
- /cast Convoke the Spirits
- /cqs
Mouseover Macros
Unless you are using a specific addon that will perform the same function, for all your healing and utility spells, we advise you to use Mouseover macros such as:
- #showtooltip
- /cast [@mouseover] Rejuvenation;Rejuvenation
Addons
Raid Frames
To perform well as a Restoration Druid, you will need to see more HoTs on players in the group than the standard interface allows. Multiple addons will change your raid frames that you could use; pick any one of them:
In case you do not want to use a different raid frame addon, BigDebuffs expands the functionality of Blizzard raid frames.
To complement Grid2, ElvUI, and BigDebuffs, you should either make a mouseover macros as shown above or install Clicked. Another similar option is Clique.
Vuhdo and Cell have built-in click-casting, so you do not need extra addons.
Boss Mods
Preparation for boss mechanics is critical as a Restoration Druid. You should have either BigWigs or Deadly Boss Mods installed.
WeakAuras
WeakAuras is without a doubt the most powerful addon that can perform almost any task. There are a lot of readily available WeakAuras on wago.io that will help you track procs, cooldowns, buffs, and debuffs.
Efflorescence is a buff, so some old WeakAuras will not work. There are some publicly available; here is one example: Efflorescence WeakAura.
