Gift of the Naaru is a racial ability of the draenei. It heals a target over 15 seconds. The total amount healed depends on the character's level and is increased by either ~110% of the caster's attack power (22% per tick) or ~188.5% of the caster's spell power (~37.7% per tick), whichever bonus is higher.

Rank table Edit

The amount healed increases with each level. The amount at selected character levels is:

Level	1	5	10	15	20	25	30	35	40	45	50	55	60	65	70	75	80
Amount healed	50	110	185	260	335	410	485	560	635	710	785	860	935	1010	1085	1160	1235

Notes Edit

The amount healed (without spell power / attack power increase) is calculated by:

• Level * 15 + 35 = total amount,
• Level * 3 + 7 = amount per tick.

A blue sigil appears on the forehead of the caster for 15 seconds.

The amount healed is typically modest compared to most healer class abilities, but don't forget about it - this ability costs no resources, and does not trigger the global cooldown (though it is affected by it).

Talent improvement Edit

Gift of the Naaru is mostly neglected by talents in all builds; the choices come down to threat-reduction and +healing. Since the ability is a HoT it cannot crit, and talents that would enhance crit are useless. It also costs no mana, so it can't cost any less to cast.

Tricks and Tactics Edit

• Gift of the Naaru is a great "oh s***!" button for Draenei of any class. Since it has no cast time, it can be cast on the run or in a crunch. Priests, Paladins or Shamans can drop Gift, and then follow it up with a fast heal or two to get back on their feet.
• In raid/instance situations, when the entire group takes massive damage (such as Festergut's Pungent Blight), a Draenei can pop this to alleviate some of the stress on the healers.
• It can be cast on other players and although it is not the most powerful heal it can help when thrown into a regular healing rotation.
• Because it doesn't trigger the GCD, tanks (or pretty much anybody) can drop it on themselves to help out with the healing, and not lose too much other work.
• Shadow Priests can use this ability even with [Shadowform] on.
