For clarification: The target of this spell needs to have a Rejuvenation or a Regrowth Buff. This Buff is removed once Swiftmend hit's the target. Therefore you can get the most out of this spell if you apply it to a target who's HoT has nearly expired.
The amount healed does not depend on how many ticks of the HoT are lost, the full 12 seconds are used when determinating the amount of life healed by swiftmend.
Of course, this only applies to non-critical situations. ;-)

Comment by Sounder

How does Swiftmend choose which HoT to remove? After all, tanks with a Druid healing them typically have both on...

Comment by Txero33

You can Swiftmend the rejuv or regrowth of another druid.

As of patch 2.0.1, this talent will now include bonus healing from the talents Improved Rejuvenation and Empowered Rejuvenation.

16% of base mana for a tauren druid is a bit more of 300. The reduced cost of ToL affects this spell.

Can Swiftmend crit?

Comment by AuReacT

Does this have some sort of graphic effect ?

Comment by Sandos

Nice in critical situations, but 16% is quite a chunk of mana.

Build 8820, I just respec'd resto for an Utgarde Keep run and Swiftmend doesn't seem to work. It keeps saying invalid target even though my target has regrowth and/or rejuv. Tested on myself and party members.

Comment by Abomb

the best choice for this efect is to use regrowth which by my calculations will health for about 2k while the rejuvination will heal for around 1k or so

Glyph of Swiftmend

Makes this spell even better, not consuming the HoT's is amazing.

Comment by 302239

So, if you have Glyph of Regrowth, and double cast regrowth, the hot is now ticking for 20% more.

If you Swiftmend the hot, will Swiftmend hit for 20% because the hot was ticking for more?

Comment by 208860

A consumed Rejuvenation heals for more than a consumed Regrowth.

Comment by Featureless

This is similar to a Warlock's Conflagrate in a way. Which MAYBE means some conflag tactics can apply to this

DRUID DOWN NVM SWIFTMEND

Comment by dreadblood

When you decide your comment is redundant you can delete it from Wowhead (this option is available from your profile).

except when its purged.. leaves a big stain on your impeccible commenting record

Comment by themguyman

imo all druid healers should use the glyph it allows you to heal more w/o having to time it perfectly

Comment by dreadblood

Now makes a cool effect on the ground!

Comment by Faell

The Swiftmend spell icon is not currently available in the list of macro icons. Put the following in the top line of a macro if you want its icon.

#showtooltip Swiftmend

Comment by Magnatross

As of Mists of Pandaria:

-Efflorescence ticks are now named after Swiftmend, so the combat log will say "Swiftmend" instead of "Efflorescence", and if you have Floating Combat Text enabled (or an addon similar to that), then it will say "Swiftmend fades" after the AoE HoT expires instead of "Efflorescence fades".

-Swiftmend's AoE heal no longer appears to be linked with the amount of healing done by Swiftmend, and the tooltip now states a static number per tick instead of using percentages. However, it is possible that it is still % based, and the tooltip could just be showing the actual numbers that will occur instead of only telling us that it will heal for a percentage.

-The AoE HoT will no longer heal more if the direct Swiftmend crits, as you read in the last point, but it now has its own chance to crit. For example, an Efflo tick can crit heal 2 out of the 3 targets it healed that tick, even if the original Swiftmend was not critical.

If the HoT is still based on the direct heal, then it is a good idea to use it on an ally with a +X% healing received talent (for those moments of raid wide damage)so everyone can benefit more from it.

Comment by najooh

You can cast Swiftmend if your target have Genesis buff.

Comment by Pyrianis

As of Shadowlands Alpha (9.0):

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/23310980/shadowlands-class-updates#item3

Swiftmend will return to its historic functionality of consuming a heal-over-time effect on the target, but with a substantially reduced cooldown and cost.

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/feedback-druid-class-changes/490706/34

–Swiftmend will try to consume Regrowth, then Wild Growth, then Rejuvenation, so that its behavior is predictable.

Comment by Egeiro

A few notes about using Swiftmend:
1) You can only cast Swiftmend on a target if that target has an active HoT from Regrowth, Wild Growth, or Rejuvenation. You cannot use a HoT on yourself and then consume it by healing another target, nor can you consume an active HoT on a target and apply it to a different target or yourself.
2) Per Nivius' comment below, Swiftmend will always consume Regrowth if it's there, otherwise Wild Growth if it's there, otherwise Rejuvenation... Always in that order. Note that this is basically a "smart" process because it is consuming the HoT with the LEAST amount of healing-over-time remaining. (See #3 below.)
3) When Swiftmend "consumes" a HoT, it does NOT also heal for the remaining healing left on that HoT; it just gives the Swiftmend heal amount. So "consume" in this case means that the HoT is gone -- it is wasted; the target will never receive that healing.

In other words, if you just want to benefit from the quick heal that Swiftmend provides, just cast Regrowth and then Swiftmend -- you get the higher initial heal from Regrowth with less healing over time, and that small HoT is consumed, with less healing "consumed" (wasted), to give you the full amount of Swiftmend healing.

Comment by Shardsy

I have problem using Swiftmend in the pre-patch. Ever so often the button is greyed out and if I try to use it (key-bind) it says "You can't do that yet" (or something like that). (I do have Rejuvenation, Regrowth, or Wild Growth on the target). I haven't figured what makes it activate. Does anyone have an idea?
