Enchants, Gems and Consumables for Restoration Shaman

This guide covers the best enchants, gems, and consumables you can use in Dragonflight.

To better understand why these specific enchants and gems are recommended, check out the detailed stats guide below.

2.

Best Gems for Restoration Shamans

Gems are crafted by Jewelcrafting, and you can use as many as you have sockets in your gear. You can guarantee sockets in your necklace with the Tiered Medallion Setting Icon Tiered Medallion Setting, also crafted by Jewelcrafters.

You will always want to have one Primalist Gem, ideally the maximum Quality Inscribed Illimited Diamond Icon Inscribed Illimited Diamond, but the baseline Inscribed Illimited Diamond Icon Inscribed Illimited Diamond is still worth using over any other gem.

Radiant Alexstraszite Icon Radiant Alexstraszite is the best gem to stack on the other slots, especially if you are using the Jewelcrafting-produced trinket Idol of the Lifebinder Icon Idol of the Lifebinder, which scales with the amount of Alexstraszite gems you are using.

Best Enchants for Restoration Shamans

Dragonflight reintroduced Leg enchants from Tailoring, which have cheap (Vibrant Spellthread Icon Vibrant Spellthread) and expensive (Temporal Spellthread Icon Temporal Spellthread) versions, and Belt enchants in the form of Shadowed Belt Clasp Icon Shadowed Belt Clasp, created by Blacksmithing.

The rest of the enchants are produced by the Enchanting profession and all gear enchants are affected by Quality, with the best version of each enchant, such as the three-star Enchant Bracer - Devotion of Leech Icon Enchant Bracer - Devotion of Leech, being stronger than lower versions, such as the one-star Enchant Bracer - Devotion of Leech Icon Enchant Bracer - Devotion of Leech.

Consumables for Restoration Shamans

4.1.

Best Phials and Potions for Restoration Shamans

Phials are the new Flasks and persist through death for 30 minutes. Potions are short-duration powerful effects. Alchemy crafts both and affected by Quality which increases their effects.

Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage Icon Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage is the best phial for raw throughput but also has a significant downside which might lead you into using Phial of Elemental Chaos Icon Phial of Elemental Chaos instead. Phial of Tepid Versatility Icon Phial of Tepid Versatility grants a lower throughput benefit but has a significant damage reduction component, which is excellent in a progress or high-key scenario where your survivability is critical.

Use Potion of Frozen Focus Icon Potion of Frozen Focus to regenerate Mana if you can afford the downtime. Otherwise Aerated Mana Potion Icon Aerated Mana Potion or Potion of Chilled Clarity Icon Potion of Chilled Clarity (with heavy Chain Heal Icon Chain Heal / Healing Surge Icon Healing Surge usage) are better. Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power Icon Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power or the cheaper Elemental Potion of Power Icon Elemental Potion of Power can be used for throughput if you are fine on Mana.

Residual Neural Channeling Agent Icon Residual Neural Channeling Agent and Delicate Suspension of Spores Icon Delicate Suspension of Spores can be used while dead and be the difference between victory and defeat in an encounter.

Dreamwalker's Healing Potion Icon Dreamwalker's Healing Potion does not share the same cooldown as Healthstone Icon Healthstones and should be used for emergency self-healing.

4.2.

Best Food for Restoration Shamans

Food is crafted by Cooking and has no Quality, which means all versions of a food item are equal.

Eat from the Dragonflight feasts, Hoard of Draconic Delicacies Icon Hoard of Draconic Delicacies or Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak Icon Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak, if possible. Otherwise, eat Deviously Deviled Eggs Icon Deviously Deviled Eggs, Fated Fortune Cookie Icon Fated Fortune Cookie, Revenge, Served Cold Icon Revenge, Served Cold, or the cheaper Filet of Fangs Icon Filet of Fangs.

4.3.

Other Consumables for Restoration Shamans

If you are not using Earthliving Weapon Icon Earthliving Weapon, use the Buzzing Rune Icon Buzzing Rune Fauna Rune, crafted by Inscription, on your weapon.

4.4.

Augment Runes for Restoration Shamans

Draconic Augment Rune Icon Draconic Augment Rune, or the infinite Dreambound Augment Rune Icon Dreambound Augment Rune, can be used for an additional stat boost during progression raiding or the toughest Mythic+ keys.
