Cataclysm Classic Restoration Shaman Gear and Best in Slot

The table below lists the best gear combinations for each phase in Cataclysm Classic. Click the button that correlates with the specific phase you are interested in seeing a BiS gear list for. The gear lists will mostly follow the stat priority detailed on our Stats guide, which is resumed below:

1. Intellect
2. Spirit
3. Haste (aim for specific breakpoints such as 7.15% for extra tick on Earthliving Weapon)
4. Mastery (especially good in progression / underhealing raid setups)
5. Critical Strike (above Mastery when using Ancestral Awakening)

For more information on the best available gems and enchants, check out our Enchants and Gems Guide.

Although we provide recommended reforging in the lists below, we also recommend installing the Reforgelite Classic addon to easily calculate your optimal reforging with any gear setup.
