Restoration Druid rotation assistant for World of Warcraft
HoTs pre-laid where the damage is going, Tranquility saved for where it is worst.
Rice Rotations reads your Restoration Druid from the game picture, decides which ability comes next, and presses the key for it from a second PC or a virtual machine. It runs on World of Warcraft Midnight retail and on Mists of Pandaria Classic, and the profile is included in the same subscription as the other thirty-nine specializations.
How the Restoration Druid profile plays
Restoration is a HoT blanket with triage on top. Rice keeps Lifebloom on the right target, Rejuvenation spread where it is about to matter, Efflorescence down, and uses Swiftmend and Regrowth as the reactive layer instead of hard casting into a target that is already covered.
Healing is triage under time pressure. Rice watches the health of the group on screen, keeps your filler and your efficient heals flowing, saves the strong cooldown for the damage event instead of dumping it early, and covers dispels so a bad debuff does not sit for four seconds while you are moving.
The profile reacts to the pull instead of replaying a fixed list: interrupts fire on casts that matter, dispels go out when a debuff lands, and cooldowns are held for the burst window rather than used the moment they come up. Dozens of Restoration Druid settings decide how aggressive or how conservative that behaviour is, so a raid night and a Mythic+ push can use different profiles of the same spec.
Cooldowns and burst windows
Tranquility and Flourish are saved for the damage event instead of dumped on the first health dip, Convoke is spent where it heals rather than on cooldown, and Innervate goes out when mana actually needs it.
What the Restoration Druid rotation handles
- Lifebloom, Rejuvenation and Efflorescence upkeep
- Swiftmend and Regrowth as the reactive layer
- Tranquility and Flourish held for real damage events
- Nature’s Cure dispels, Barkskin and Ironbark where they are needed
Raid, Mythic+ and the rest
Raid healing plays the ramp: HoTs go out before the damage, not after it. In Mythic+ it stays reactive, keeps the tank covered through big physical hits, and does not waste the long cooldowns on a pack that is nearly dead.
Raid nights, Mythic+ keystones, delves, world content and levelling alts. Rice Rotations is built and tuned for PvE, so there are no arena or battleground profiles. The desktop client is Windows only.
Setup and safety
Nothing is attached to the game: there is no injection, no memory reading and no unlocker. Rice runs on a second PC or a virtual machine, reads your gaming PC as a video stream and sends keystrokes back, so the machine running World of Warcraft only ever sees keyboard input arriving.
- Built and tuned for PvE. No arena or battleground profiles.
- Midnight retail is supported.
- Classic is Mists of Pandaria only, so no Era, no Wrath, no other ruleset.
Restoration Druid questions
- Can a rotation assistant really heal?
- It handles the maintenance and the reactive layer, which is most of the button pressing. You still make the calls on positioning, cooldown usage on a pull and who needs a personal.
- Does it dispel?
- Yes. Nature’s Cure goes out when a dispellable debuff lands instead of sitting for several seconds while you are moving.
