Purification Purification

Shaman · Restoration · Row 6 of 7 · 5 ranks
Changed from Classic

Purification sits in row 6 of the Shaman Restoration tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 5 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.

Changed from Classic. This talent now works differently than in Classic, so read the ranks below before you spend any points.

What Purification does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: Increases the effectiveness of your healing spells by 2%.
  2. Rank 2: Increases the effectiveness of your healing spells by 4%.
  3. Rank 3: Increases the effectiveness of your healing spells by 6%.
  4. Rank 4: Increases the effectiveness of your healing spells by 8%.
  5. Rank 5: Increases the effectiveness of your healing spells by 10%.

How to reach Purification

Row 6 opens after you spend 25 points in the earlier Restoration rows. Level 35 is the earliest you can pick up Purification.

Is Purification worth the points?

Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
