Requirements

  • Learned Riptide; the source records its first rank at level 40. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
  • An actual point in the Riptide talent (Restoration) and its prerequisites; selecting a recommended spec alone does not grant it.

Known limitations

  • Research-supported design for beta 1.60.1.70009; no recorded in-client macro tests. English spell names require localization on other clients.
  • The first matching target branch wins; an out-of-range, line-of-sight, immune or otherwise invalid recipient does not fall through to another target.
  • Modifier keybindings can intercept the combination. Spell selection is manual; an unlearned or unavailable modifier action does not fall back to the default spell.
  • This is the actual Riptide talent. It does not choose Chain Heal, refresh the heal over time automatically, or detect whether the target already has it.

Notes

  • Spell IDs identify the sourced first-rank reference; unranked names request the learned rank selected by the client. A spellbook tab is not a specialization lock.
  • Talent and level records are provisional beta extraction, not proof of spell acquisition.
  • Spell and talent data attribution: Chris Baldwin / Talents Forever, CC BY 4.0. Icon artwork remains Blizzard property; research does not imply affiliation.
