WoW Forever Resto Shaman PvE: Build, BiS, Best Race

Q: What is Resto Shaman BiS in WoW Forever?

Before 9 December, BiS is the dungeon healer set: Spirit, mp5 and +healing, and caster pieces count because healing power includes 1/3 of bonus spell damage. From 9 December, Barrow Deeps (10), Hyjal Summit (20) and Onyxia's Lair (40) drops replace it slot by slot. Blizzard has not published the raid loot tables yet.

Q: What is the best Resto Shaman build in WoW Forever?

Full Restoration down to Riptide, the 31-point gold, with Water Shield at 11 and Mana Tide Totem at 16 on the way, and Spirit on gear for mana back in combat. Chain Heal on stacked melee, Healing Wave on the tank. A few Elemental points for mana tools show up in community trees and stay optional. Point-by-point spends stay provisional while the beta runs.

Q: What is the best race for a Resto Shaman in WoW Forever?

Tauren for Endurance on 20-man and 40-man. Dwarf is the new Alliance Shaman, with Stoneform and 1% crit on spells while a mace is equipped. Skyborne Windshapers are Horde Shamans and need the Skyborne Heroic Pack.

Q: Chain Heal or Healing Wave on Hyjal?

Chain Heal on stacked melee. Healing Wave on the tank. Riptide first on the Chain Heal target makes that Chain Heal 25% stronger.

Q: Alchemy for Restoration raids?

Alchemy + Enchanting is the Ultimate Restoration PvE pair on the live offer.

Q: Is 10-man different from 40-man for Restoration?

Same spec. 10-man Barrow Deeps is fewer Chain Heal targets. 40-man Onyxia is assignment healing. Gear still scales with +healing.

Shaman hub. This mega does not reprint Call of the Elements.

Restoration spend for raid throughput

Blizzard published the Shaman kit on 7 October 2026. Talents keep 3 trees of 7 rows with 1-point gold talents at 11, 16, 21 and 31 points, and Restoration’s are named. Water Shield is the new 11-point gold: 3 globes that return mana when you are hit or land a critical heal. Mana Tide Totem moves down to 16 points. Riptide at 31 points heals at once and then over 15 seconds on a 6-second cooldown, and makes Chain Heal 25% stronger on that target. Restorative Totems now doubles its Healing Stream Totem bonus, and Healing Way now raises Healing Wave healing. Point-by-point spends and exact Spirit-to-mana rates stay provisional while the beta runs.

Leveling hours and the 2 speeds

Restoration still quests with shocks, then heals instances. Since the 1 October beta build dungeon quests pay 50% less bonus XP, so the route stays quest-led in the open world. 1 booster is $299 in about 14 days. 2 boosters in shifts is $420 in about 7 days. A human Pro plays your Shaman in our own gaming hubs, on a PC dedicated to your account and a residential IP address in your city, so it looks exactly like you playing from home. Preselect Tauren or Dwarf. Route. Skip the grind.
