3. Consumables for Restoration Shamans

3.1. Best Flasks and Potions for Restoration

Flask of Endless Fathoms Icon Flask of Endless Fathoms should be used for raids along with Battle Potion of Intellect Icon Battle Potion of Intellect. This last potion should be used just before pulling, so that you can also use Potion of Replenishment Icon Potion of Replenishment during the encounter itself.

Coastal Healing Potion Icon Coastal Healing Potion should be used alongside Healthstone Icon Healthstones for emergency healing. Coastal Mana Potion Icon Coastal Mana Potion can be used instead of Potion of Replenishment Icon Potion of Replenishment during the fight if you need instant Mana restoration.

3.2. Best Food for Restoration

You should eat from the Bountiful Captain's Feast Icon Bountiful Captain's Feast (or the cheaper Galley Banquet Icon Galley Banquet) when possible, and otherwise Critical Strike food (Honey-Glazed Haunches Icon Honey-Glazed Haunches or the cheaper Kul Tiramisu Icon Kul Tiramisu).

3.3. Augment Runes for Restoration

If you can afford it, you should use Battle-Scarred Augment Rune Icon Battle-Scarred 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.
