WoW Patch 11.1.7 Introduces a New Out-of-Combat Self-Healing Spell

by

Summary

  • World of Warcraft Patch 11.1.7 will introduce the spell Recuperate for health regen out of combat, replacing the need for food.
  • Recuperate heals 150% of max HP over 30 seconds.
  • Recuperate currently doesn’t restore mana or other resources.

In the upcoming update for World of Warcraft, a new spell called Recuperate is being introduced as part of Patch 11.1.7. This spell enables players to restore their health outside of combat without needing food. This handy self-healing ability will be accessible to all character classes.

In the realm of World of Warcraft, various classes possess unique abilities to self-heal during non-combat situations, such as a Paladin’s Flash of Light or a Warrior’s Second Wind talent. However, throughout its history, the most dependable method for characters to regain their health points outside of battle has been by consuming food – particularly since the removal of the First Aid secondary profession in Battle for Azeroth.

Instead of food, World of Warcraft is introducing a new self-healing method called Recuperate in Patch 11.1.7. This general spell will be available to all classes, enabling casters to heal for 150% of their maximum health points over 30 seconds while not engaged in combat. As demonstrated by WoW content creator MrGM on YouTube, when using Recuperate, the character sets up a campfire first and then enjoys a little snack.

Recuperate Skill to Recover HP Out of Combat in WoW

Players who have experienced “Star Wars: The Old Republic” might recognize this capability as something familiar. For over 14 years, each class in the game has possessed a distinctive skill for restoring health and resources, like the Sith Inquisitor’s Seethe or the Jedi Consular’s Meditation. These abilities come with unique animations, and can be further customized through specific racial traits or collectible items. A concept similar to this could potentially be adopted by “World of Warcraft”, mirroring its future cosmetic Hearthstone toys in terms of implementation.

Currently, the tooltip for Recuperate on the Public Test Realm seems to be misleading. Instead of channeling for 30 seconds and healing 50% of a character’s health throughout, the spell actually channels for only 10 seconds while gradually healing 50% of their health over this period. To recover more, players will need to recast it again in future builds of the PTR, which should be corrected before the patch goes live in the next few months.

As a gamer, let me share some insights about the recent update in our game. The Recuperate ability isn’t doling out any buffs right now, so food isn’t completely obsolete. It also doesn’t restore mana or any other resources at the moment, but who knows what might happen down the line? If it stays this way, Druids, Evokers, Monks, Paladins, Priests, Shamans, and Warlocks might still need to keep their water bottles filled – or maybe even hit up our friendly neighborhood Mage for a brew or two!
