Gift of the Naaru

Last wiki revision 2023-03-09

Gift of the Naaru is a racial ability of the draenei. It restores 20% of the target's total health over 5 seconds.

The Gift of the Naaru is a blessing bestowed by the divine naaru upon the draenei, and all draenei can tap into this blessing to heal injured allies. The gift manifests in the form of a glowing blue rune or "forehead signet" to signify that they are indeed touched by the Light.

's forehead signet is permanently visible, likely to signify his especially close connection to the naaru.

, a prominent member of the demon-worshipping Sargerei, instead bears a fel-green mockery of the naaru's holy symbol in order to signify her conviction to the Burning Legion.

  • 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).
  • Gift of the Naaru is a great panic 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.
  • The percent heal does not allow you to take advantage of this ability during the Valithria Dreamwalker encounter.
  • The Touch of the Naaru allows non-draenei characters to replicate the Gift of the Naaru's forehead signet effect.
  • The Accursed Tome of the Sargerei instead produces the fel-green sigil seen on Tyrant Velhari.
  • This ability was mentioned in the April Fools' Day patch 6.1.4 Evil Patch Notes: "Gift of the Naaru now actually gives other players a gift. However, as beings of pure light, they probably got you a rainbow, or something? You should make them a list."
