Restoration Shaman Healing Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Shadowlands 9.0.2
On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Restoration Shaman, based on your stat priority. We also give budget alternatives. This page is updated for World of Warcraft — Shadowlands 9.0.2.
If you were looking for WoW Classic content, please refer to our Classic Restoration Shaman Healer enchants and consumables.
Foreword
In general, you should be using gems and enchants according to the stat weights shown to you by https://wowanalyzer.com, especially now that diminishing returns exist.
However, to simplify things, Critical Strike enchants and gems will, in a vacuum always be a good option for maximizing throughput as a Restoration Shaman. If you PvP or care about your survivability too (say, in Mythic Raiding), go with Versatility, instead!
Best Gems and Enchants for Restoration Shamans
Use Deadly Jewel Cluster (raw throughput) or
Versatile Jewel Cluster
(throughput + survivability) on the rest of your sockets. Cheaper options are
Versatile Jewel Doublet
and
Deadly Jewel Doublet.

Consumables for Restoration Shamans
Best Flasks and Potions for Restoration
Spectral Flask of Power is the flask of choice in Shadowlands. Use
Potion of Spiritual Clarity to regenerate Mana if you can afford the downtime.
Potion of Spectral Intellect or
Potion of Divine Awakening are strong
throughput options if you do not need the Mana, and
Spiritual Mana Potion
is the emergency / budget Mana recovery option.
Potion of Sacrificial Anima is worth it if you can afford the health loss
and use it to cast expensive spells, namely
Chain Heal, but in most situations
the other potions will do better.
Spiritual Healing Potion does not share the same cooldown as
Healthstones
or
Phial of Serenity, and should be used for extra emergency healing.
Best Food for Restoration
If possible, use the large feast ( Feast of Gluttonous Hedonism), otherwise,
use Critical Strike or Versatility food (
Spinefin Souffle and Fries or
Steak a la Mode).
Butterscotch Marinated Ribs and
Sweet Silvergill Sausages
are the cheap options.
Other Consumables for Restoration
You can also use Shadowcore Oil for extra DPS or
Embalmer's Oil
for extra healing, as well as
Heavy Desolate Armor Kit for extra survivability.
Tome of the Still Mind are also useful to carry around in order to swap
talents on the fly.
Augment Runes for Restoration
If you can afford it, you should use Veiled Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes
available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them
for when you need them.
