In the BIS section, there is a linked picture that does not load when clicking on it.  

Might have been a temporary problem on the hosting website, because I had the same issue for a little bit and now its working just fine for me again, try to open the image direct with right click "Open link into new tab" and then refresh the page if you get a permission error or something.

The stat scaling numbers are completely wrong.  My guy has 210 versatility and 5.25%.  That means it is 40 points per 1% - not 85.  The other stat scaling numbers are wrong also...  Or what am I missing?

You're right, it is because I originally posted those values in BFA but the stat squishing / changes in Shadowlands changed the scaling, will fix it ASAP, thanks for pointing this out!

Try this out (with /cast if /use does not work):

/use [harm][@targettarget] Flame Shock

Legendaries page -

Elemental Conduit - you have the WoWDB link for the Torghast anima power version, not the runecarver memory

https://www.wowdb.com/items/187224-memory-of-the-elemental-conduit is what you want to be linking in the guide.

[Seksi 208]

Fortunately their effects are exactly the same 🙂 going to do the slight adjustment so that it links to https://www.wowdb.com/spells/356250-elemental-conduit, instead, as the link to the memory has no description of what it actually does, which is the most important thing to have in the tooltip of a guide, cheers!

The item level cap for Shadowlands Season 4 was increased to 304.  Legendary items were unaffected by the change (remaining at 291).  The guide should be updated to reflect that it is now more effective to have your legendary gear in the lowest stat slots. For restoration shaman, this means the wrists should be slotted for Unity and the hands for Primal Tide Core.

You can even get 311 items from the end mythic bosses 🙂

This is a minor optimization that depends on what your general item levels actually are since you might be missing a high level helmet, for example, in which case 291 legendary would help overall item level more, but I'll add a note on the guide on this, thanks!

In the section regarding changes in patch 10.0.7, "Go with the Flow" is pointing to the achievement of the same name instead of the intended class talent.

Its because of the internal tagging system, will bring it up with admins, thanks!

We are only showing talents which are regularly taken in Talents page atm, but you can find it on the Spells page if you want to know our opinion about it. There's just not much need for extra Haste in Shaman rotation in general, especially now that Tidebringer and Spiritwalker's Tidal Totem can give you plenty of cast time reduction when you need it most 🙂

Just some additions I would probably add to the M+ tips for utility spells.

Speccing into Thunderous Paws allows you to clear the Entangling affix instantly without needing to move. In the same vein it is also helpful in keys that have roots. In Freehold it has saved my life a lot of time. The same for Underrot and there are probably more examples.

Underrated talent in my opinion.

For sure, will include in guide later, thanks!

this recommended m+ build on the class side is terrible all around (especially for new or casual players). It doesn't take cleanse or pct or hex, or swirling currents, or purge or thunderous paws....all of which are great talents in m+ dungeons and provide much more value.

All of those are situational, the idea as a Shaman is that you adapt your class tree talents to the dungeons you are doing 🙂 there's plenty of great options, especially for certain dungeons and / or affixes, but the tree posted needs to be a generalist one and it would be too helpful to take every single point of situational utility in a single build, either!

Resto shaman PVE -> Resto shaman utility: "Restoration Shaman is the only healer that can interrupt"

I respectfully disagree

Damn that's an old blurb! It used to be true but hasn't been since Dragonflight talent revamps happened, will fix, thanks!

The comment on the resto shaman section for TWW saying a con is they dont bring any raid utility is false. They now bring windfury buff to groups/raidwide.
Just a heads up as this is specifically the TWW section and is incorrect.

It is being updated right now, you will see the new version tomorrow or so 🙂

Hey, just wanted to say that the talent export strings are false and throw an error.

At least the one for the chain heal build, as it was the only one I tried, so you might want to check the export strings again.

No big deal, I put the talents in manually, just wanted to inform you. 

Apart from that minor issue, great work and thank you very much for the guide, great help for me who just got into healing! 😋

Glad you have been enjoying it 🙂 great times for WoW and Restoration Shaman is about to make a big comeback in TWW! We are not amazing just yet but our Hero Talents are really good so it will get better once the new expansion hits.

On the talents unfortunately it is on Blizzard's side (heard rumors they pushed some changes today which might have fixed or further broken some things), even if you hit "Export" to string on the in-game UI the string you get was always giving out an error when importing 😞 so have to put talents in manually until it is fixed on their side!
