@Animalfarm: Korryna has said that he’s going to look into updating this article with the new talents, but I’m afraid I can only leave you with “SOON” as an ETA.

Are you planning to update this post with the new talent trees? I want to level a Tauren Druid Balance/Resto and this article helps a lot! Thanks.

@Bullrock: I believe if you check the Guides section, you'll find what you're looking for with the post!

Hello,
This is a very nice guide, I wish I fell on it earlier when I was leveling my Druid (first character on WoW) as pure Restoration, until it got frustrating at level 53, that’s when I switched to balance and then to feral at 70. I still want to go back to Restoration in Wotlk, and I want to level up using Restoration to be able to heal in instances, but I need some solo viability when I’m doing quests, I hope there is a way to be able to do damage and still be able to heal effectively in instances until I get to level 80.Looking forward to your reply
Regards,
Bullrock

@Wynn: Hahaha … yes, I think you won’t have much trouble. You MIGHT run into an issue getting CC for those runs though. Hopefully enough DKs take enough Frost to be useful in that regard.

@Wise Fox: I’m really glad that you’ve found this guide useful. It could definitely use an update with the talent tree revamp!

And most of what I said there has been made redundant by the new patch, I'm going to slink off to the wrath spamming thread now... Wise Foxs last blog post..The Mall on Friday Night

This is the guide that I more or less follow for my resto druid and it has served me well. admittedly I'm missing some of the balance abilities I can't quite fit into the build (starfires that stun and uninterrupted wrath is nice but for a pve lving build I can't justify it). Very handy guide for lving resto and it makes a very valid point that most people pass off or ignore "lving a resto gives you a feel for healing if you lv as anything else and then get chucked into a healing situation your not going to be that well prepared". Its all well and good knowing it in theory, but really knowing it...that's something else Wise Foxs last blog post..The Mall on Friday Night

58-70 all Dungeons!
71-80 all Dungeons!

People love healers and with all the death knights running around I am going to be very busy.

@Nojo: It's really going to depend on how much soloing you intend to do. For me, I always level with a partner, so I'll probably spec pretty deep Resto with just a few of the early Balance DPS talents to help me. Assuming you're doing a 50/50 split, though, you might consider something like this with the remaining 9 points before you hit 80 spent in Vengeance, Insect Swarm, and Improved Insect Swarm.

Any ideas on leveling in Wrath? I did Feral to 70, but I would like to heal in the leveling instances.
