Restoration Shaman

How the specialization plays

Strong stacked-group healing, Spirit Link Totem utility and mastery on low-health targets.

Action priorities

This is the baseline logic. Check exact conditions for selected talents and items against the archived profile below.

• Riptide helps prepare healing and Tidal Waves.
• Healing Wave saves mana; Healing Surge supports urgent healing.
• Place Healing Rain under a group that will stay there.
• Use Chain Heal when several suitable targets are injured.
• Assign Healing Tide and Spirit Link to dangerous group damage.

Multiple targets and group utility

• Spirit Link redistributes health within its radius: allies must actually be nearby.
• Wind Shear and Purge provide dungeon utility for a healer.

Mistakes that reduce performance

• Do not spam Chain Heal on a nearly healthy group.
• Do not place Healing Rain immediately before the raid moves.

Stats and gear decisions

Deep Healing is stronger on low-health targets. Compare mastery, crit and haste using actual damage and mana needs.

• Keep complete raid and dungeon loadouts. Change one factor at a time when comparing.
• Evaluate artifact, relics, set bonuses and legendary effects together; high item level does not replace checking their interactions.
