Rebirth
Last wiki revision 2023-07-06
Rebirth is a druid resurrection spell. Unlike Revive it can be cast while in combat, and restores the target to 60% health.
- It is often referred to in game as "combat–rez", "battle–rez", or just "b–rez".
- It has a 10 minute cooldown. This is usually enough per need, especially since it's now restricted.
- Guardian druids can instant cast it in Bear Form while costing 30 Rage.
- Rebirth is one of the only two general-purpose resurrection spell that can be used in combat, along with Raise Ally. Other classes may have similar abilities:
- Shamans can bring themselves back to life using Reincarnation.
- In addition to its function as an on-the-fly combat resurrection spell, players that die while affected by a warlock's Soulstone may revive themselves.
- Patch 4.0.1 added a restriction on the number of resurrections that can occur during an encounter, whether by a druid's Rebirth, a warlock's Soulstone, or a death knight's Raise Ally. Players casting these spells after the limit has been reached will see the "You can no longer resurrect during combat" error message. See below for more information.
- Casting Rebirth on a player flagged for PvP will also flag you.
- Like all other spells with a cooldown of 10 minutes or more, it cannot be used in Arenas.
- Rebirth is an emergency ability that should only be used during combat. Use Revive to resurrect allies out of combat.
- Due to the long cooldown and the limited number of combat resurrections available per encounter, you should save Rebirth for critical players: tanks, healers or the group's highest-performing DPS. Coordinate with your leader, other druids, and the warlocks and shamans in the group to ensure your battle-rez is not wasted.
- Like Bloodlust/Heroism, groups will often wait until Rebirth is off cooldown before pulling a boss.
- Since the target is revived at the caster's location with little health, the druid should move to a safe area before casting and healers must be prepared to heal quickly. Glyph of Rebirth makes this less of an issue.
