Log sample
Overview
Preservation heals with the same empower mechanic Devastation uses for damage — holding casts like Spiritbloom and Dream Breath to charge them up. It rewards anticipating damage so you can start charging before the hit lands, and has powerful tools for covering scheduled raid damage.
How this spec operates
- Empowered heals (
Dream Breath, 
Spiritbloom) reward charging before damage lands. 
Echo duplicates your next big heal — always Echo before Spiritbloom or Dream Breath.
Reversion handles sustained damage — keep it on targets taking steady hits.
Rewind reverts recent raid damage — one of the strongest scheduled cooldowns in the game.- 25-yard range is a hard constraint — position centrally before ramps.
