'''Heal''' is a priest healing ability, learned at level 16. It covers the niche of a cheap and affordable heal that can be cast virtually forever. The downside is that it is not particularly powerful, and priests relying on this heal alone usually falls short. For a more powerful and more expensive healing spell, use [[Greater Heal]]. If speed is also a concern, [[Flash Heal]] is also an option. While both alternative spells are undeniably better, Heal is still a basic cornerstone of any healing priest's spell selection due to the heavy manacost of the alternatives.

With the death of the [[Lich King]], most of the Horde and Alliance forces in the zone have returned to their respective capitals, leaving behind token forces to protect their holdings. While the majority of Scourge forces have vanished from the tundra, the [[kvaldir]] have increased their presence in the region, and the [[naga]] have returned in force, supported by agents of the [[Twilight Hammer]]. Several factions of [[Scourge]] remnants still cling to their holdings, seeking a way to bolster their forces.

The Cataclysm has wrought several important changes in the region. The shore side Tuskarr capital of [[Kaskala ]] was washed away, forcing the Tuskarr to evacuate, although several of them remain to attempt salvage operations. The [[ley line|ley lines]] of Coldara that were realigned by [[Malygos]] during the [[Nexus War]] have been further damaged by the Cataclysm, and the Kirin Tor have joined forces with the newly peaceful [[blue dragonflight]] to halt the damage. The devastation of the Cataclysm heavily damaged the blue dragon fortress of [[Nexus]], forcing the majority of the blue dragons to withdraw.

The [[Horde]] established the settlement of [[Warsong Hold]] under the command of the son of [[Grom]], [[Garrosh Hellscream]]. The Horde created a pact with the local and culturally similar tuskarr, who are under siege from the [[Kvaldir]], a clan of [[Vrykul]]. [[Garrosh]] and his forces have also discovered the enigmatic [[taunka]], an ancient offshoot of the [[tauren]] race thought to be lost forever.

When the corrupted black aspect Deathwing erupted back into the world, the forces he unleashed shattered all of Azeroth. Northrend has not escaped the devastation, and even the sacred Dragonblight has been touched.
 
−  
−
Areas affected:
 
−  
−
*Warsong Hold is down to a skeleton crew, and they are beseiged by kvaldir, who have entrenched themselves in Mightstone Quarry.
 
−
*The Plains of Nasam have become the [[Nasam Mire]], a blighted swamp filled with Scourge ruins and mindless undead.
 
−
*At Riplash Strand, the kvaldir have moved inland, but the naga are back and up to no good.
 
−
*Naga are laying siege to Valiance Keep, with support from the [[Twilight Hammer]]. Farshire has become a Twilight Hammer camp, and they are summoning elementals to attack Valiance Keep.
 
−
*[[Kaskala]] was destroyed by the Cataclysm. Tuskarr there are salvaging what they can and attempting to hold off hostile naga and murlocs. Submerged quests are accessed similar to quests in [[Vashj'ir]]. FacelessOnes can be found in the deepest areas.
 
−
*The Wailing Ziggurat has become an Alliance stronghold with flight path and more quests.
 
−
*The [[Temple_City_of_En'kilah|Temple-City of En'kilah]] has partially sunk underground due to the Cataclysm. The Scourge have withdrawn, and the nerubians have moved in. Darkfallen and the Cult of the Damned retain control of [[Naxxanar]] and seek to repel them. Something is stirring underneath the city...
 
−
*The [[Geyser Fields]] near [[Fizzcrank Airship]] and [[Taunka'le Village]] have collapsed, exposing a massive sinkhole called the [[Pit of Zothma]] and releasing nerubians and other horros onto the surface.
 
−
*[[Talramas]] is still a Scourge stronghold, ruled by [[Lichlord Chillwinter]]. But the Twilight Hammer seem to have a presence here as well...
 
−
*The [[Nexus War]] is over - blue dragons and the Kirin Tor have an uneasy alliance, and are seeking to repair the damage done by Malygos' realignment of the world's [[ley line|ley lines]]. The Cataclysm has caused them further damage, which threatens all of Northrend.
 
−
*Amber Ledge is under attack by the Twilight Hammer, who are trying to worsen the damage to Azeroth's ley lines.
 
−
*[[Coldarra]] is menaced by hostile blue dragons driven insane by the Cataclysm, as well as enraged elementals and mana spirits. Transitus Shield has been expanded into a stronghold, [[Cobalt Hold]].
 
−
*The blue dragonflight has retreated from the Nexus. The Oculus is no longer an instance and has become an outdoor quest area. The Eye of Eternity raid has been removed.
 
−
*The [[Riplash Ruins]] were pushed furthur above the surface by the Cataclysm, exposing the lower regions, where nerubian architecture can be seen. The naga have retaken the ruins with the aid of Faceless Ones. '''The inner ruins form a high level dungeon instance, the Riplash Ruins'''. Naga there seek to awaken an evil power deep within. Quests in capital cities will involve transporting players to Warsong Hold and Valliance Keep, where they can quickly access the high level dungeon.

==Geography==
 
−
The Borean Tundra is wide, flat, and cold. The landscape varies greatly. Hard but farmable soil in the south lead to nourishing steam pools in the middle. Along the west edge, nasty cliffs rise up and then shear off into the Westrift. The north is home to grasslands and an area of steep hills. The east is snow-covered and the most brutal this area has to offer.
 
−  
−
At its northeast edge the tundra runs into the mountain range of [[Wintergrasp]], a vast frozen region that effectively shields it from the [[Dragonblight]] and [[Icecrown]]. The only way to reach these areas overland is across the mountains bordering the Dragonblight or through the [[Sholazar Basin]], neither which are easy. An army would be suicidal to attempt either. Not many plants can survive up here. Without any cover the wind is fierce enough to tear flesh, and people can barely hear themselves when they shout. A few trees manage to hang on, evergreens, but the small twisted kind rather than the tall proud ones out east. Wolves and rabbits and foxes and even bears, roam this area. However, most of the life is in the water. The zone is separated from the [[Dragonblight]] by the [[Borea River]].
 
−  
−
To the northwest, one can see the high plateau of Coldarra. It is high enough to be blanketed in snow year round. Lately, rumblings have shaken the earth around the lone island. Geologists are concerned with the appearance of rifts in the crust and worry that a massive earthquake could tear Coldarra apart. This would have massive repercussions on the stability of Borean Tundra and possibly Northrend itself.
 
−  
−
Warsong Hold has a zeppelin tower connecting it to [[Durotar]], and [[Valiance Keep]] has a dock connecting it to [[Stormwind City]].

One simple touch can mend so much.[1]

Heal is a priest healing ability, learned at level 16. It covers the niche of a cheap and affordable heal that can be cast virtually forever. The downside is that it is not particularly powerful, and priests relying on this heal alone usually falls short. For a more powerful and more expensive healing spell, use Spell holy heal [Greater Heal]. If speed is also a concern, Spell holy flashheal [Flash Heal] is also an option. While both alternative spells are undeniably better, Heal is still a basic cornerstone of any healing priest's spell selection due to the heavy manacost of the alternatives.

60 1117 to 1297
70 1838 to 2136
80 2809 to 3263
85 3136 to 3644

Heal has a spell power coefficient of 30.2%. This is notably less than most other healing spells.

Notes

  • Spell holy heal [Greater Heal] is usually a good choice if you need to "catch up" on healing, while Heal is a good choice if you need to conserve mana. Balancing these two spells is important if you want to last for the entire fight, without losing anyone.
