How to gear for resto?

Post by Shabang »

Could someone link me to a resto shaman with BiS for pvp? Is it full pvp gear or what? And wep/shield?

Some decent PvE pieces:

Hammer of Sanctification (Available from donation or Scarlet Citadel cache)
Shattered Sun Pendant of Restoration (If you have both Shattered Sun Offensive and Scryers exalted)
Blessed Band of Karabor (Tanaris Mall vendor, Badges of justice)
Vial of the Sunwell (trinket vendor)
Sun-touched Chain Leggings (Donor Mall BT/MH vendor or Scarlet Citadel cache)

PvP builds here : https://www.smolderforge.com/forums/vie ... f=4&t=8383

Gems :
Yellow = 11heal/5 intellect
Blue/Red = 11heal/2 mp5

This is how my shaman looks, but perhaps someone has better setup.

Yeah, the rest is PvP. I'm not sure if it's the best setup but works just fine for me.

Btw, try using macros like this:

#showtooltip spellname
/equip idolname
/use spellname

You can use multiple idols like this.

Thanks for this, Buc. This probably has the most mp5 to heal ratio and haste without sacrificing too much survivability. <3 Well done, M8!

IMO resilience is too low and that neck tho it has a nice proc, it lowers the stats so much. Relic swapping macros are very important..

Yes, that neck's glaring weakness is the absence of intellect. The mp5 and proc help curb that some, but it still could sorely use a bit. Oh well. As for the resilience being low, I'll have to disagree.

334 resilience is suitable for a Rsham in BGs, especially since lesser heal gives that resilience boost for a handful of seconds. Plus, it's not difficult to bind a gearset to itemrack when you see that you'll need 465 resilience (or heck, 492 if you think you need it.) though I go with 465 for my oh shit swap, because as mentioned, the relic effect. Also, if you consider what a pvp neck gives for int, it's not a gigantic loss. you only lose a couple hundred mana. That's not even a single lesser heal... and it doesn't lower your crit below 20%. I've tried handfuls of gear setups, and as I said before, this definitely has the best mp5 along with +heal that I've seen so far.
