Best Potency Conduits for Restoration DruidsRestoration-Specific Potency Conduits

Description

Raid Grade

Mythic+ Grade

Crecimiento imparable

Crecimiento salvaje's healing decreases over the duration of the HoT but this conduit helps to curb that decrease. While the initial hit doesn't change, your subsequent ticks will be much higher meaning this isn't a straight flat % healing increase to Crecimiento salvaje but it's still strong. As long as you're making good use of Crecimiento salvaje this will likely be your strongest conduit in most situations.

A+

Fragmento de armadura adaptable

This new 9.1 conduit is technically a Guardian-specific conduit, but that's never stopped us before with the similar Instintos bien afinados. In solo-healing content like Mythic+, you likely won't see a ton of value out of this one since you're the only healer, but in raid encounters with constant ticking damage you'll likely have a pretty solid uptime even just by standing in your other healers ground effects. Expect this to be your go-to 3rd conduit in most raid encounters.

A-

Destello de claridad

At early haste levels you can reasonably expect 2-3 Augurio de claridad procs per minute with 90%+ uptime on Flor de vida so this isn't a bad increase but it's not great either. If you run Lección del Titán Oscuro, then you can potentially double the number of procs making this conduit a bit more exciting. You don't consume Augurio de claridad procs during Estimular, so every Recrecimiento cast during this window with both buffs up will be buffed while this conduit is being used.

B-

A- with Lección del Titán Oscuro else B

Reciclaje floral

Because the healing increase is based on the remaining duration of the specific HoT that you're consuming, you may get a much larger increase by consuming a fresh Crecimiento salvaje or very little if by consuming an expiring Recrecimiento. If you're frequently munching fresh powerful HoTs to Alivio presto you'll get more mileage out of this conduit, but generally that behavior shouldn't be encouraged as it's very inefficient. If you absolutely need the extra healing now to save a life sure, but wasting a large portion of a HoT isn't great. There just tend to be better conduits for us.

C+

Listo para cualquier cosa

From a throughput standpoint this one is just poor. If Presteza de la Naturaleza gives you essentially two free Recrecimientos in a single instant GCD, then reducing the cooldown at rank 7 just gives you 32% worth of an additional Recrecimiento every minute. Yes that puts it rather simply, as greater access to the potentially lifesaving Presteza de la Naturaleza is good. However if the outcome of whether a player lives or dies is decided in a single GCD in PvE, there's probably something else going on that could have saved that ally. For the other uses, it tends to be more utility oriented and makes better sense as a finesse conduit rather than potency.

Kyrian

Lealtad extrema

This conduit for Almas gemelas offers cooldown reduction for the bond empowerment which is good: more activations generally equal more healing. In 9.1 this conduit is generally a must-have when utilizing Afinidad gemela and Mikanikos' trait Acelerador de ánima expansivo.

A+

Night Fae

Confluencia de elementos

This conduit offers a flat % healing and damage increase while channeling Convocar a los espíritus. The HoTs/DoTs casts do not snapshot this increased healing for the remainder of their duration so only the healing done in channel window is increased, but this includes any HoTs/DoTs we may have put out prior to the channel. It improves the burst of this tool so overall pretty solid.

Necrolord

Enjambre evolucionado

As a flat % HoT/DoT increase for Enjambre adaptable, this conduit is pretty strong but will vary based on how much additional HoT healing you're providing to the target of your Enjambre adaptable. In scenarios where Enjambre adaptable is good this conduit will also be good. Drastically improved when utilizing Enjambre desenfrenado or Infusión verdeante.

Venthyr

Sed infinita

The Sed infinita conduit for Frenesí voraz provides % critical strike chance scaling per stack stack to this cooldown ability. Overall the conduit is a pretty solid throughput increase, albeit not exactly the most exciting. Drastically improved when utilizing Indulgencia pecaminosa.

A-

Best Raiding and M+ Potency Conduits for Restoration DruidsFor the first available potency slot you'll want to almost universally select Crecimiento imparable.

Night Fae: second potency conduit Confluencia de elementos, then third being either Fragmento de armadura adaptable (Raid) or Destello de claridad (Mythic+).

Necrolord: second potency conduit Enjambre evolucionado, then third being either Fragmento de armadura adaptable (Raid) or Destello de claridad (Mythic+).

Venthyr: second potency conduit Sed infinita, then third being either Fragmento de armadura adaptable (Raid) or Destello de claridad (Mythic+).

Kyrian: second potency conduit Lealtad extrema when utilizing Afinidad gemela and Mikanikos' trait Acelerador de ánima expansivo or if it helps better align with cooldown usage/incoming damage. Third potency conduit would be either Fragmento de armadura adaptable (Raid) or Destello de claridad (Mythic+).

Best Endurance Conduits for Restoration Druids

Raid Grade

Mythic+ Grade

Instintos bien afinados

Despite being Guardian Druid specific, you can still utilize this conduit and it's fantastic. What is essentially a Guardián de la Naturaleza, the Regeneración frenética doesn't require Forma de oso or Afinidad con Guardián. Fantastic with few drawbacks. Pick this up when you can even despite the 9.1 cooldown nerf to this conduit.

S - Must Pick

Esfera de ánima condensada

Another new 9.1 Guardian-specific conduit. There were some tooltip issues early on but the final healing amount make this a strong candidate for our second endurance conduit slot.

A+

Resolución innata

Additional self healing via Recrecimiento or Regeneración frenética. Strong synergy with the other endurance conduit Instintos bien afinados.

Vigor osuno

Gives some additional oomph to our on-demand personal that is Forma de oso. If you're frequently shifting into Forma de oso as a defensive or need the extra health to soak a particular mechanic then this will be great but otherwise there are better options. Has strong synergy with Llamada del druida anciano and the Legendary Juramento del druida anciano.

B+

Duro como la corteza

A cooldown reduction on Piel de corteza can be good, but for a 1-min cooldown this is a few seconds at best. If you absolutely need greater access to our defensive to have an answer for a specific damage pattern, then it's good but otherwise Piel de corteza has a pretty short cooldown already.

Crin a capas

Despite being Guardian Druid specific, we can still utilize this conduit; however in order to have more than a single stack of Pelaje férreo we'll need to be in Llamada del druida anciano. Because of this prerequisite, it's very unlikely that we'll make use of this particular endurance conduit.

Raid verdict

Mythic+ Verdict

Nacido de lo salvaje

Azote poderoso and Enredo masivo have short enough cooldowns that you won't likely see that much a difference in cooldown; however, the real power of this conduit is the cooldown reduction for Llamada del druida anciano which at rank 7 is 48s off the originally 5-min cooldown for 4mins and 12s. If you frequently make use of Llamada del druida anciano for damage then this is the conduit for you.

Liderando la manada

If your raid isn't completely stacked up or you need a slightly longer Rugido de estampida then this is a decent conduit, but you can typically get away without it.

A-

Persecución incansable

If you frequently reposition utilizing Forma de viaje, especially in outdoor dungeons or areas, or Forma felina, especially via Carrerilla or Acometida de tigre, then consider this a strong conduit. While you could travel just as far by staying in your shapeshift this allows you to shift out sooner and start casting while still maintaining that speed buff.

B+

Nacido de nuevo

If you're frequently the one to battle rez in your raid or party then this helps get a fallen ally back into the fight with a movement speed boost to quickly reposition and the strongest Well Fed buff in the game. Not terribly impactful in most situations as you don't want to encourage dying in your raid or dungeon.

Thank you Jaydaa for another great Druid guide!

With regards to Flash of Clarity, what qualifies as "early haste levels?" I'm sitting at around 12%; will that give me 2-3 procs a minute or is that too low still.

Comentario de Winterstorm85

The Kyrian Covenant ability : Kindred Spirit does not need to be cast on someone else (and isn't made clear on the spell information). If this is cast on yourself it will give you Lone Spirit, which when you activate, will give you a 15% increased healing + the 350 mastery for 10 secs.
Where the Night Fae ability allows you to pump up existing HoTs over the 4 secs while you channel the ability, the Kyrian ability looks to be a bit more versatile as it can both pump up outgoing hots over the 10 secs or pump up Regrowths over the buff time if used just after HoTs are put out

Hello,

the other subtitles I understood, it was based on the American school grades system, I didn't understand this "S - Must Pick", what does it mean?

Comentario de BeckyFacelift

Do i need to change my loot spec to guardian to get the conduit drop?

Comentario de frebu

How in the world is the Born Anew well fed buff listed as "sub par", its literally beats the best primary stat food buff in the game by 8 points at ilvl 200 which makes it *checks notes* The best food buff in the game hands down.

Comentario de kmbean

I just check the Wild Growth conduit. Pre and post application of this conduit, my wild growth healed exactly the same amount on my log. Tick to tick. Has anyone checked the log? Is this conduit bugged right now?
