6. Weapon Enchants

Best enchants for weapon:

Enchant Weapon - Mighty Spellpower - Spell - WotLK Classic (wowhead.com) or Formula: Enchant Staff - Greater Spellpower - Item - WotLK Classic (wowhead.com)

7. Rotation

Since the restore druid is able to heal the entire raid, here is entire raid heal rotation.

Before pull use Potion of Wild Magic - Item - WotLK Classic (wowhead.com).

After it use Regrowth and Lifebloom on the tank. Keep Lifebloom on the tank at all times.

AoE healing Combo: Wild Growth -> 5x Regrowth

You can use Rejuvenation instead of Regrowth if raid isn’t taking too much damage.

Tranquility can be used after a massive AoE or combined with Barkskin when needed.

Use Rejuvenation on people who have taken damage. Also use Rejuvenation on those who are about to take damage (there will always be). Rejuvenation is your chance to get almost dead comrade out of any situation with "Swiftmend"
