TBC Classic Restoration Shaman Phase 5 / Tier 6 Gear and Best in Slot

Restoration Shaman Tier 6, the Skyshatter Raiment, is obtained from the following bosses:

• Helm — Archimonde in Hyjal Summit
• Chest — Illidan Stormrage in Black Temple
• Legs — The Illidari Council in Black Temple
• Shoulders — Mother Shahraz in Black Temple
• Gloves — Azgalor in Hyjal Summit

Its set bonuses are:

• 2 pieces — lowers the cost of Chain Heal by 10%. A very powerful effect due to the high amount of Chain Heals cast, this bonus allows you to be more reckless with your casts before you run out of Mana.
• 4 pieces — increases the healing of Chain Heal by 5%. This is a multiplicative bonus to Chain Heal and a large healing increase. When combined with the 2-set and a good amount of Spell Haste, you will be able to increase your throughput massively when compared to Tier 5 levels.

Leatherworking is a great profession, especially if you are your group's dedicated drummer, and Windhawk gear is a great boon to any new Restoration Shaman.

Enchanting is also great to unlock Spell Healing enchants on rings, and Jewelcrafting is a viable alternative for improved gems.

Finally, Engineering is also a fine choice, enabling explosives and strong helmets.

In order to make the best use possible out of long cooldown trinkets, such as Scarab Brooch, swap them into your gear set when they are off-cooldown and replace them with others during their cooldown.

While the list above contains the absolute best gear setup, you are unlikely to quickly gather all of it. We provide more options below, some which are very close to the best, and some which are just much easier to get!

Leatherworking is still a great profession, especially if you are your group's dedicated drummer, and Windhawk gear can fill in for any slots you were unlucky with.

Restoration Shaman Tier 5, the Cataclysm Raiment, is obtained from the following bosses:

• Helm — Lady Vashj in Serpentshrine Cavern
• Chest — Kael'thas Sunstrider in Tempest Keep
• Legs — Fathom-Lord Karathress in Serpentshrine Cavern
• Shoulders — Void Reaver in Tempest Keep
• Gloves — Leotheras the Blind in Serpentshrine Cavern

Its set bonuses are:

• 2 pieces — lowers the cost of Lesser Healing Wave by 5%. While not game changing, this is a pretty decent bonus which improves your Mana sustain, especially in heavy spot healing scenarios such as PvP.
• 4 pieces — causes critical heals from Healing Wave, Lesser Healing Wave, and Chain Heal to reduce the cast time of your next Healing Wave by 0.5 seconds, up to once per minute. This is a very weak bonus and you will barely be able to feel it in your gameplay, unfortunately.

Leatherworking is still a great profession, especially if you are your group's dedicated drummer, and Windhawk gear is only replaced by Tier 5 pieces or equivalent off-set items.

Restoration Shaman Tier 4, the Cyclone Raiment has gloves, chest, head, legs, and shoulders. Its set bonuses are:

• 2 pieces: A small Mp5 gain from Mana Spring Totem. Not very impactful.
• 4 pieces: Reduces the cooldown on Nature's Swiftness by 24 seconds. Also not very impactful, but can increase your emergency heal uptime.

Our recommendation for Tier 4 is using the head and shoulders of Tier 4 alongside Leatherworking's Windhawk Armor and the best off-set pieces available in the rest of the gear slots.
