Spellbook & Downrank Calculator

Downranking is the cornerstone of high-level Vanilla and Forever raiding. By utilizing lower ranks of spells with high +Healing or +Spell Power gear, players maximize HPM (Healing Per Mana) and DPM (Damage Per Mana) without running out of mana on 5-minute boss encounters.

Class:
Healing Touch
Druid • NatureHealing Spell

Healing Touch

Rank 4 is the gold standard of Classic healing: learned at level 20, it suffers 0% sub-20 penalty and achieves premier HPM efficiency when paired with +Healing gear. Rank 11 provides unmitigated emergency throughput.

Blizzard Downranking Formula Applied

1. The 3.5-Second Rule:
Base Coeff = min(1.0, CastTime / 3.5)
Rank 4 (3s) = 85.71% base coefficient
2. Sub-Level 20 Penalty Formula:
Penalty Coeff = min(1.0, (SpellLevel + 6) / 20)
Level 20 >= 20: 100% (Zero Downranking Penalty)
3. Final Effective Gain:
417.5 base + (+450 SP × 85.7%) = 804 Total Output
