Restoration Shaman 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:
- Intellect
- Spirit
- Haste (aim for specific breakpoints such as 7.15% for extra tick on
Earthliving Weapon) - Mastery (especially good in progression / underhealing raid setups)
- Critical Strike (above Mastery when using
Ancestral Awakening)
