When soloing, kill enemies with spells rather than healing. Bear Form and Cat Form cost a lot of Mana, so don't use them. Keep Mark of the Wild and Thorns up. Pull from range with Moonfire, then keep casting Wrath. When the enemy reaches you, put Rejuvenation on yourself and let Thorns and your damage over time wear it down. Save Omen of Clarity for a big Regrowth or Healing Touch to heal yourself for free.

Solo

• Restoring healthRestore health with Regrowth after a fight. It heals the most for its Mana.
• Emergency healingWhen your health drops in a fight, use Swiftmend on yourself while Rejuvenation or Regrowth is active.
• On the brinkWhen your health is nearly gone, use Nature's Swiftness and cast Healing Touch instantly.
• Rooting enemiesRoot a close enemy with Entangling Roots, step back and cast Wrath. Damage can break it, and you can only root one target at a time.
• Enemies in meleeWith Mana to spare, cast Nature's Grasp ahead of time. The enemy that hits you gets rooted.
• Sleeping enemiesIf another Beast or Dragonkin joins, put it to sleep with Hibernate. Any damage wakes it.
• Restoring ManaWhen your Mana runs low, cast Innervate on yourself.
• Casting under attackUse Barkskin when you're casting under attack. It reduces physical damage and stops casting delays.
• UnderwaterLearn Aquatic Form from the level 16 class quest and use it underwater.
• Traveling between enemiesUse Travel Form outdoors when enemies are far apart.
• PoisonRemove poisons with Abolish Poison.
• CursesRemove curses with Remove Curse.

Party

Heal your party and save your Mana.

• Tank buffAlways keep Thorns on your tank.
• Healing over timeKeep the heal over time of Rejuvenation and Regrowth running on your tank.
• Damage spikesHeal damage spikes with more Regrowth casts, or Healing Touch if health gets really low.
• Big healsStart casting Healing Touch before your tank's health runs out.
• Mana managementUse lower ranks of your heals when they fit the damage taken. When you can, stop casting so your Mana regenerates faster.
• Free healingSpend Omen of Clarity on a big Regrowth or Healing Touch.
• Emergency healingWhen a target with your Rejuvenation or Regrowth suddenly loses health, use Swiftmend.
• Saving a lifeIf Swiftmend is on cooldown or the heal can't wait for a heal over time, use Nature's Swiftness and cast Healing Touch instantly.
• Healing severalUse Wild Growth when several party members are hurt. It costs a lot of Mana, so don't use it for one person.
• Heavy party damageWhen area damage endangers your party, use Tranquility close to them and don't move.
• Restoring ManaIn long fights, cast Innervate on yourself when your Mana runs low.
• Casting delaysUse Barkskin if your casts keep getting delayed.
• Enemies on youWhen an enemy comes for you, use Nature's Grasp and move toward your tank.
• Sleeping enemiesIn a big pack, put one Beast or Dragonkin to sleep with Hibernate.
• PoisonRemove party members' poisons with Abolish Poison.
• CursesRemove party members' curses with Remove Curse.
• Combat resurrectionBring back party members who fall during a fight with Rebirth.
