Whoever’s in charge of the Restoration Druid talent tree in TWW needs to stop working on talent trees altogether. Do they even play Restoration Druid, or do they hate the spec? The tree is full of unnecessary stuff. Some of these should just be basic Druid abilities, not talents. We’ve lost Adaptive Swarm, and the pathing makes us take talents that don’t even fit our spec. Why are we being pushed into playstyles we might not want just to get certain talents? And why do we have to choose between Photosynthesis and Flourish?
Our utility is so bad compared to something like Restoration Shaman, and Skull Bash has to be one of the clunkiest interrupts in the game. From what I’ve read, interrupts are going to be super important, but if we want Skull Bash, we have to waste three talent points—at least two of which feel like a waste to me.
Im not saying Resto druid wont be a viable healer. They will but this talent tree has all but killed everything that felt good about being a Resto druid in Dragon Flight.

Resto druid will be played in TWW because of MoTW.
everything else about Rdruid feels worse. Class tree is trash… half abilities should be baseline. Its not even a class tree. Its fancy way of not letting you get utility.
Pretty sure AI could have designed better R druid changes for TWW.
Swarm was one most interesting spells druid had. Please bring it back.
Flourish and photo competing is rediculous.
Why did we not bake s3/s4 tier set into hero talents somehow? Wasnt the whole idea of these types of talent trees to preserve good ideas.
Overall I know I wont be returning to druid in TWW… not because I don’t want too but because the dev involved in this class is clueless…
Overall druid class is being propped up by OP raid buff. It in overall awful state and numbers tuning wont make it better.

Yeah druid tree is probably the worse of all classes. I hope they find a way to improve it during the new xpac. I dont know but as for healing i enjoy a lot more evoker and monk. And i have a shaman ready too cuz healing looks great for TWW. I put my druid aside for now

Have you tried doing Delves without an interrupt on Beta…
No interrupt = 
They don’t want you coming back as a Druid. Typical Blizzard—rather than balancing things out, they just push Druids to the back of the line. It’s not about balance; it’s about shaking up the pecking order so the next healer class can have their time at the top. Resto Druid was strong in Dragonflight, so if they’re irrelevant now… well, that’s just how it is.
