Healing Touch

Healing Touch is a druid healing spell. It is the largest direct heal available to the class. It is costly but effective, making it good for delivering large amounts of healing to a target.

Talents

 * Moonglow reduces the mana cost by 9%.
 * Nature's Majesty increases the critical effect chance by 4%. Natural Perfection increases this by a further 3%.
 * Gift of Nature increases the healing done by 25%.
 * Empowered Touch increases the healing done by 10%.
 * Living Seed causes critical heals from Healing Touch to place a buff on the target, healing for 30% of the critical heal the next time the target takes damage.

Tips and Tactics

 * Using Nature's Swiftness (druid ability) with this spell results in a massive instant direct heal, which is very useful for emergency situations. Most druids have a macro that immediately casts Nature's Swiftness followed by Healing Touch. In this way you can take advantage of the spell's strength (a massive direct heal) while ignoring its weakness (long casting time).
 * If you think your target might die while you're casting this spell, cast Regrowth first to buy yourself a little time.
