The druids' reverence for nature allows them to bestow wondrous gifts upon their allies.[1]
Healing Touch is a level 26 Restoration druidhealing spell. It is the largest direct heal available to the class. It is costly but effective, making it good for delivering large amounts of healing to a target.
High cost but equally high healing makes this a good spell to use on a target that's taking heavy damage but isn't in danger of dying during the long cast time, such as a tank.
