Notes

Testing indicates the following, some of which may not be accurate:

  • Swiftmend heals the target for the equal amount of 12 seconds of Rejuvenation, or 18 seconds of Regrowth
  • If in any case both Rejuvenation and Regrowth are present on the target, the HoT with the least time left will be consumed. (credit to the Official Druid forums)
  • +Healing gear is accounted for, at the same rate as the Rejuvenation (80%) or Regrowth.
  • A player can consume a Regrowth or Rejuvenation with Swiftmend casted by another druid. In this case it uses the base value of the HoT casters spell, but uses the +healing of the caster of Swiftmend.

For example, a Swiftmend on a rank 10 Rejuvenation will heal 756 (before talents) +80% of +healing.

Tips and tactics

  • This spell is amazingly useful for a restro druid. This is one of only two abilities (the other being Spell nature ravenform [Nature's Swiftness] available to a druid to deliver a quick heal on an ally. It can be used either to maintain a tank's hp when he is taking damage faster than HoT can sustain him, or as last minute save when an ally takes sudden or unsuspected damage.
  • It is preferable to wait until the HoT to be consumed has nearly run out prior to using swiftmend so as not to waste potential healing from HoT
  • In pvp (particularly battlegrounds) this is a great way to save someone when nature swiftness is not ready or you don't wish to expend it. Cast rejuvenate immediately followed by swiftmend will usually heal enough to by one time to stack HoT on the target.
  • also great for flag running in WSG. cast a rejuvenate immediately before changing to travel form and swiftmend right before it wears off will give a decent amount of healing without slowing ones escape by much.
  • during fights that tend towards spike damage it may be worthwhile to keep a HoT on individuals who do not need it (at full health or already have stacked lifebloom) so that swiftmend can be cast instantly if they suddenly sustain substantial damage.
