Regrowth is a druid healing spell. Regrowth is a fast spell to cast and heals for a decent amount, but this is balanced by poor mana efficiency. While the spell has a small HoT component it is mainly a direct heal.

Notes

The initial heal from Regrowth can crit just like other direct healing spells. A critical effect on the initial heal will not have any effect on the amount of healing done by the HoT.
The Heal over time effect can crit, based on critical strike.
Instant cast while under the effect of [Incarnation: Tree of Life].

Tips and tactics

The short casting time and fairly large initial heal makes Regrowth a useful emergency heal.

Trivia

Regrowth is one of Malfurion's abilities in Heroes of the Storm.
