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

While a clear best in slot list is always available in TBC Classic, the items contained might be extremely hard or expensive to get. Thus, we will try to give at least one alternative for most slots in the list, so that you can pick where and how to farm them.

The list will focus on gathering the best stats for Restoration Shaman, as described in our guide below.

If you are starting out as a freshly-leveled Restoration Shaman, our pre-raid best in slot list is meant to give you an idea of non-raid items you can chase as a solo / pug player in preparation for raids.

To check out our recommended Pre-Raid best in slot gear, head over to its list below. If your character is still progressing through the content of older tiers, then you may wish to consult their best in slot lists instead, but keep in mind these older lists do not include new dungeon and badge gear, which are often equivalent or even more powerful than old tier gear!

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.
