Healing Way
Shaman · Restoration · Row 5 of 7 · 3 ranks
Changed from Classic
Healing Way sits in row 5 of the Shaman Restoration tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 3 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.
Changed from Classic. This talent now works differently than in Classic, so read the ranks below before you spend any points.
What Healing Way does at each rank
A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.
- Rank 1: Increases the amount healed by your Healing Wave spell by 8%.
- Rank 2: Increases the amount healed by your Healing Wave spell by 17%.
- Rank 3: Increases the amount healed by your Healing Wave spell by 25%.
How to reach Healing Way
Row 5 opens after you spend 20 points in the earlier Restoration rows. Level 30 is the earliest you can pick up Healing Way.
Is Healing Way worth the points?
Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build, or when you need it maxed to open the talents below. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
What it unlocks
Once Healing Way is maxed, it opens this talent deeper in the tree: Riptide.
