Gift of the Naaru Healing 4% every 1 seconds. Duration: 15 seconds

• Gift of the Naaru
• 40 yd  range
• Instant cast
• Heals the target for 20% of the caster's total health over 5 sec.

Gift of the Naaru is a racial ability of the draenei. It heals a target over 15 seconds for an amount equal to the caster's total health.

Notes

• A blue sigil appears on the forehead of the caster for 15 seconds.
• The amount healed is typically modest compared to most healer class abilities, but don't forget about it - this ability costs no resources, and does not trigger the global cooldown (though it is affected by it).

Tricks and Tactics

• Gift of the Naaru is a great emergency button for draenei of any class. Since it has no cast time, it can be cast on the run or in a crunch. Priests, Paladins, or Shamans can drop Gift, and then follow it up with a fast heal or two to get back on their feet.
• In raid/instance situations, when the entire group takes massive damage (such as Festergut's Pungent Blight), a draenei can pop this to alleviate some of the stress on the healers.
• It can be cast on other players and although it is not the most powerful heal it can help when thrown into a regular healing rotation.
• Because it doesn't trigger the GCD, tanks (or pretty much anybody) can drop it on themselves to help out with the healing, and not lose too much other work.
• This ability will cause shadow priests to drop [Shadowform] thus requiring a GCD to reapply it.

Patch changes

• Patch 6.0.2 (14-October-2014): Heals for the same amount, but now over 5 seconds, so quicker heal.
  
• Patch 4.0.6a (11-Feb-2011): There is a maximum limit to the amount healed when used on friendly NPCs with large amounts of health.
  
• Patch 3.1.0 (14-Apr-2009): The cast time has been removed; it is now an instant cast.
  
• / Patch 3.0.2 (14-Oct-2008): The amount healed is increased based on the caster's spell power or attack power, whichever is higher. In addition, the ability is now immune against pushback effects.
  
• Patch 2.1.0 (22-May-2007): It now works with [Cosmic Infuser], but not with the shaman talent Healing Focus.
  
• / Patch 2.0.1 (05-Dec-2006): Gift of the Naaru has been added to the game.
