These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Restoration Shaman and how you can deal with each fight as best as possible.
Raid Talents for Restoration Shaman
In a raid setting, you want to prioritize raid healing talents, which often
means taking Chain Heal talents, such as
High Tide and
Tidebringer.
Support talents such as Wind Shear and
Gust of Wind will be
recommended on a boss-by-boss basis below, so make sure to check out our talent
import strings if you are struggling with a specific boss!
Be sure to make use of the 'Copy Export String' button to import the build directly into your game!
Gnarlroot
You can import our recommended talent tree for this Boss directly into the game by copying the following string:
- CgQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAjZmZWmx2YmZGLzGbGWAAAEACwGzYWGjtZmZmMbLMz0YGmZDbmZGMGmlxAAYA
Depending on how much crowd control is required on Tainted Lashers (and Tainted
Treants in Mythic) and how much boss damage there is, you may want to spec into
Thundershock or the regular
Thunderstorm, in order to help CC
or group up adds.
Tips
- Make sure you have as many healing cooldowns available as possible for
Uprooted Agony phases, as incoming damage is very high. Players with the
Ember-Charred debuff will be in particular danger;
- The number one priority in this fight is using
Controlled Burn to awaken Tainted Lashers to prevent being overwhelmed by them in P2.
Gust of Wind,
Ghost Wolf,
Spiritwalker's Grace, and
Wind Rush Totem are all helpful, and also while setting fire to the roots in the intermissions;
- Use
Capacitor Totem,
Earthbind Totem, and
Thunderstorm (if specced) to help control adds;
- Mythic: Make sure you interrupt Tainted Treant, control them as needed,
and spread out more due to
Pollen Burn, especially if you get it yourself!
For more information, please refer to our Gnarlroot guide.
Igira the Cruel
You can import our recommended talent tree for this Boss directly into the game by copying the following string:
- CgQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAjZmZWmx2YmZGLzGbGWAAAEACwGzYWGjtZmZmMbLMz0YGmZDbmZGMGmlxAAYA
Tips
Blistering Spear should be placed close to each other, but use a defensive if in close proximity of two or more other players also dropping these!
- If you are soaking
Marked for Torment in the intermissions, make sure to use
Wind Rush Totem and
Spiritwalker's Grace as you will need to continually move away from the swirlies on the ground;
- Use healing cooldowns to heal through
Umbral Destruction and
Heart Stopper's absorbs;
- Mythic: The same mechanics apply in Mythic, but in a much more deadlier fashion, as you will be dealing with two weapons every phase instead of one.
For more information, please refer to our Igira guide.
Volcoross
You can import our recommended talent tree for this Boss directly into the game by copying the following string:
- CgQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAjZmZWmx2YmZGLzGbGWAAAEACwGzYWGjtZmZmMbLMz0YGmZDbmZGMGmlxAAYA
Tips
- Avoid getting hit by the boss' tail slam (where the big shadow will appear), as it will one-shot you. Make sure you move away from it, as the slam will also send out magma blobs;
- Use
Wind Rush Totem to help your group position for soaking
Flood of the Firelands and away from it;
- Move away from people with
Coiling Flames and away from other people if you get it;
- Try having as many healing cooldowns as possible for the final part of the fight
where Boss casts
Serpent's Fury;
- Mythic:
Coiling Flames will now explode and need to be soaked when they are close to expiring, make sure to prioritize this mechanic!
For more information, please refer to our Volcoross guide.
Council of Dreams
You can import our recommended talent tree for this Boss directly into the game by copying the following string:
- CgQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAjZmZWmx2YmZGLzGbGWAAAEACwGzYWGjtZmZmMbLMz0YGmZDbmZGMGmlxAAYA
Tips
- Considering mass-removing
Poisonous Javelin with
Poison Cleansing Totem, but be careful of using it too fast, as the dispelled targets explode, hitting any other nearby players;
- Don't stand in front of the bear boss unless you are soaking
Barreling Charge, in which case you should use a defensive;
- Remember to
Polymorph Bomb the bear boss once he gets to 100 energy, as otherwise he will do raid damage until your group wipes. You can safely remove your duck form by soaking any flower patches in the ground, but be careful of doing it nearby other players, as that will convert them into ducks, instead!
- Mythic: The main mechanical difference is that two bosses use their 100 energy abilities simultaneously instead of one. Overall, you will still handle those mechanics equally, just making the fight more hectic.
Larodar, Keeper of the Flame
You can import our recommended talent tree for this Boss directly into the game by copying the following string:
- CgQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAjZmZWmx2YmZGLzGbGWAAAEACwGzYWGjtZmZmMbLMz0YGmZDbmZGMGmlxAAYA
Tips
- Prioritize healing the
Charred Treants as they appear on your boss frames, you can use area of effect healing as they are likely to be close enough to all be hit at once;
- After they are doused and killed, you should heal the
Charred Brambles as well, as that will provide a protection area for
Raging Inferno, You will still want to use healing cooldowns during this ability, regardless, as it does heavy damage;
- The largest raid damage will come after 3 casts of
Raging Inferno, as the Boss will cast
Consuming Flame to deal huge damage over 16 seconds. Make sure you are prepared with
Spirit Link Totem and other cooldowns;
- After the damage is over, the second phase begins. It is a soft enrage burn
phase, and you will want to
Bloodlust and use anything left before the raid is killed by the ramping damage;
- Mythic: Use defensives and go as far from the raid as you can when
targeted by
Ashen Devastation.
Wind Rush Totem can help everyone spread out quickly.
For more information, please refer to our Larodar guide.
Nymue, Weaver of the Cycle
You can import our recommended talent tree for this Boss directly into the game by copying the following string:
- CgQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAjZmZWmx2YmZGLzGbGWAAAEACwGzYWGjtZmZmMbLMz0YGmZDbmZGMGmlxAAYA
Tips
- Use defensives and healing cooldowns during
Continuum and
Viridian Rain, especially later into the fight;
- You cannot
Gust of Wind or otherwise jump over
Verdant Matrix lines and
Impending Loom beams, as that will still stun and give you debuff stacks!
- Mythic: Make sure
Ephemeral Floras are soaked as quickly as possible.
For more information, please refer to our Nymue guide.
Smolderon
You can import our recommended talent tree for this Boss directly into the game by copying the following string:
- CgQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAjZmZWmx2YmZGLzGbGWAAAEACwGzYWGjtZmZmMbLMz0YGmZDbmZGMGmlxAAYA
Tips
- Half the raid will spread and expel
Overheated flame waves, while the other half will have to soak
Brand of Damnation, alternating between each phase;
- Remember that you are the only one able to collect the
Ignited Essence orbs released by your
Emberscar's Mark debuff, doing so will give you a large healing buff!
- During the intermission dance, be prepared to use any of your mobility tricks,
including a Warlock's
Demonic Gateway,
Wind Rush Totem,
Gust of Wind, and
Spiritwalker's Grace.
Tindral Sageswift, Seer of the Flame
You can import our recommended talent tree for this Boss directly into the game by copying the following string:
- CgQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAjZmZWmx2YmZGLzGbGWAAAEACwGzYWGjtZmZmMbLMz0YGmZDbmZGMGmlxAAYA
This fight includes Dragon Riding, and the flying needed can be tight, especially in Mythic difficulty, so if you are having any difficulties, make sure to complete all the races and challenges, as these are good practice.
Tips
- Use healing cooldowns to deal with the high raid damage caused by
Mass Entanglement. While you can remove it with
Spirit Walk, doing so will spawn adds;
- Only dispel
Fiery Growth once the player is out of the raid;
Wind Rush Totem is helpful in several parts of the fight as movement can be tight, for example, while dodging swirlies after roots are destroyed, or for tanks to soak
Blazing Mushrooms;
- In phase 2, the number one priority is stomping all the mushrooms and healing
players afflicted by
Suppressive Ember.
For more information, please refer to our Tindral guide.

Heart of Amirdrassil and prevent instant defeat.
