WoW Classic Season of Mastery Restoration Shaman Guide

Introduction

    Restoration Shamans excel at raid-wide healing thanks to the power of
    Chain Heal
    . The utility provided by
    Mana Tide Totem
    and the rest of their totems is a great addition to a healer and caster groups in raids.

WoW Classic Season of Mastery Restoration Shaman Rotation

    One of the unique things about healing is downranking heals. We mention some specific ranks of certain heals below as a starting point, but finding out which ranks work best will be up to you. The ranks you choose will change based on each boss depending on the situation and length of the encounter, as well your target and how much health they are missing.

Single Target

  1. Maintain totems that will benefit your group the most.
  2. Use
    Mana Tide Totem
    when everyone in your group will benefit the most from it.
  3. Cast
    Chain Heal
    . This is your spam heal.
  4. Use
    Nature's Swiftness
    with
    Healing Wave
    for a big instant heal.
  5. Cast
    Healing Wave
    if you need to burst heal someone.
  6. Cast
    Lesser Healing Wave
    if you need to heal someone faster than a
    Chain Heal
    cast (2.5 sec).
  7. If you need to start conserving mana, you can start downranking and use spells such as
    Chain Heal R1
    .

AoE

  1. Same as single target.

Totem Twisting

  1. An intimidating name for a simple process. All this process involves is casting
    Grace of Air Totem
    immediately after casting
    Windfury Totem
    . Since
    Windfury Totem
    applies its buff right after you cast it, you are able to cheat the system in a sense and get benefits from 2 air totems at the same time.
  2. Refreshing
    Windfury Totem
    when the buff runs out is a must for this to be effective. Which means every 10 seconds, you will be casting
    Windfury Totem
    , followed by
    Grace of Air Totem
    . Must be specced into
    Totemic Focus
    since this is very mana intensive.
