RestoDruid.info – updates & fixes 24/1
Jan 24th
Thank you everyone for your kind comments so far! I have a few fixes and changes: Site header banner – being a bit of a nubcake, I threw the header banner into the conveniently placed “topad” div, which I was later told is a bad thing because many browsers and users block this common ad
Introducing RestoDruid.info
Jan 23rd
I’ve finally finished my guide. I started this in August last year, but couldn’t do very much while Cataclysm information was still up in the air; it was too hard to write advice when it was unclear how healing would even work. And, of course, then came Cataclysm release, Christmas, floods, stress, and bronchitis. But being holed up at home, cut off from civilisation and rugged up in my jimjams gave me time to really work on it. And now it’s done. [...]
How to keep Lifebloom on two targets (video)
Dec 15th
I can roll Lifebloom on two people for an entire fight. Did you know that you could do this?
I touched on this briefly in my last article, but there’s still a lot of confusion and people saying, “But I thought you could only put Lifebloom on one person now?”
Allow me to explain! [...]
85 Dungeons: thoughts and tips on healing them
Dec 13th
I’ve ventured into a few 5 mans now. Wow, they’re tough, aren’t they? At first I was a bit annoyed, because some of them seemed to be a bit unforgiving; having to heal the tank but also bring the group up, without any real potent group heal.. it seemed like treading water at best, and floundering at worst. Regrowth is good for saving someone, but costs so much. Nourish is too slow for an emergency heal, Rejuv is slow to tick and costs a lot, Wild Growth and Efflorescence are weak – I really feel as though we are missing something from our raid healing toolbox.
It’s tough, but I’m enjoying rising to the challenge, I have to say.
So – here are a few tips for healing 5 mans as a resto druid. [...]
Cataclysm guides: Gimme gimme!
Dec 3rd
I’ve created a placeholder page for my Cataclysm guide.
As I mentioned in a post a little while ago, I don’t want people to come here, click on my Cataclysm Guide, and find a blank page or a “coming soon” sign. I’m going to use the space for other resto guide links, so that if I can’t provide the info myself for a few weeks, the least I can do is direct people to information elsewhere.
So once again – if you have a guide, send it in – now is the best time to do it, because in a few short days, Cataclysm will be here and people will need the info! [...]
Understanding Troll colouring

There’s still a lot of confusion over how the Troll feral forms come to be certain colours. [...]
Cataclysm guide update
Nov 15th
I’ve been working hard on my Cataclysm guide. It’s much, much bigger than my original – it has pages and pages of content. Because it’s so much bigger, it is taking a long time to put together (and I haven’t had much time IRL lately, so I’ve only been able to do small sections at a time). And all that time I have been fretting that it’s not going to be ready in time for Cataclysm. I wanted it to be ready to go so that as soon as people needed help – my guide would be there with what they needed to know.
But I’ve decided that I’m not going to break my neck to get it out immediately after release, for a few reasons:[...]
Thinking of going druid in Cataclysm?
Jun 4th
That’s possibly a dumb question for most of my audience, since most of you are already druids. But! Maybe you’re not a druid, or maybe you are but you have a friend who wants to be a druid in the expansion? So if you’re an existing druid planning on going Worgen or Troll, or if

Resto druid guide up!
Apr 27th
For a little while now I’ve been working on a Resto healing guide of my own. For ages I didn’t bother, since there were other guides up, and I didn’t think it was worth the effort to reinvent the wheel. But I realised that if I want my site to be any kind of resource,
My name is Emma and I live in Australia. I’ve been gaming on and off since I was about 11. I won’t tell you exactly how long ago that was, let’s just say long enough.
