Why it works
This is a 46 Restoration / 5 Enhancement healer: Restoration takes every major throughput and longevity tool—Improved Healing Wave, Mindfulness, Tidal Focus, Water Shield, Tidal Mastery, Restorative Totems, Mana Tide, Healing Way, Nature's Swiftness, Purification, and Riptide—then Enhancement adds Thundering Strikes for extra healing crit and better Ancestral Healing uptime on tanks.
The gear leans into sustained raid healing rather than short parse padding. Earthshatter pieces give high armor, Intellect, healing, and a lot of mp5, which is ideal for long dungeon pulls and raid bosses. Cloak of Clarity, Life Channeling Necklace, Ring of the Earthshatterer, Ring of the Martyr, Rejuvenating Gem, and Blessed Qiraji Augur Staff stack more passive mana return so you can keep casting instead of waiting for regen. Bracelets of Royal Redemption are chosen over mail bracers because the raw +healing is too efficient to pass up. Eye of the Dead is your major throughput trinket for heavy incoming damage, paired with Rejuvenating Gem for always-on healing and mp5. Totem of Life makes Lesser Healing Wave stronger for emergency spot healing.
Play around prevention and triage. Keep Water Shield up, put Spirit of the Alpha and Earth Shield on the tank at the opener, and use Riptide on cooldown on active damage targets, especially before Chain Heal. Use Chain Heal and Healing Rain for stacked group damage, Healing Wave when you have time and mana for efficient tank healing, and Lesser Healing Wave when someone may die before a longer cast lands. Save Nature's Swiftness for an emergency instant Healing Wave.
