Restoration Shaman Healing Best Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Midnight Season 1

This guide covers the best enchants, gems, and consumables you can currently use.

To better understand why these specific enchants and gems are recommended, check out the detailed stats guide below.

Gems are crafted by Jewelcrafting, and you can use as many as you have sockets in your gear. While guaranteed sockets on every ring and amulet are a thing of the past, some items do come with sockets, such as Amulet of the Abyssal Hymn, and all Jewelcrafted gear comes with one guaranteed socket.

You can also randomly get sockets on head, wrist, and waist gear, or socket them yourself with an item acquired from the turning in 6x Great Vault non-gear tokens.

You will always want to have one Diamond gem, ideally a maximum Quality Indecipherable Eversong Diamond if it is your only gem socket, or a Telluric Eversong Diamond once you have multiple. Afterwards, make sure to have at least one gem of each type in the other sockets to max out the Movement Speed effect, ideally one Flawless Versatile Garnet, Flawless Deadly Lapis, Flawless Deadly Peridot, and Flawless Deadly Amethyst.

Fill in any remaining sockets with Flawless Versatile Garnet.

Most enchants are produced by the Enchanting profession, and all gear enchants are affected by Quality, with the best version of each enchant being stronger than lower quality versions.

We will be listing only the best versions of each enchant, but lower versions can be used to save gold.

You will usually want to be using a Flask and Food when doing group PvE content. Weapon oils are not useful for Restoration for the most part due to Earthliving Weapon, and Void-Touched Augment Rune give a small benefit but are very expensive, making them mostly worthwhile in PvE progression scenarios.

You will generally want to be using Flask of the Shattered Sun in raids, as Critical Strike is a favored stat for all talent builds, while swapping to Flask of Thalassian Resistance in Mythic+ for its defensive benefits.

You should be eating from the Silvermoon Parade or Harandar Celebration feasts whenever possible, but can also use Royal Roast in solo and small group scenarios.

Hearty versions of all foods can be created by the Cooking profession by combining 5 to 10 (feast) regular foods and, once eaten, provide their benefit for a full hour, even if you die midway through.

In addition to stat food, you can also consume some crafting-profession teas which slightly increase your movement speed. This effect stacks with regular buff food, and while Shaman has good mobility, these teas are cheap to acquire and provide ~4% movement speed. You can buy the cheapest on the auction house or craft them yourself:

• Sanguithorn Tea
• Azeroot Tea
• Argentleaf Tea

Void-Touched Augment Rune grant a decent amount of Intellect and come from many sources, including NPC crafting orders for the various professions.

As they tend to be very expensive for the stats granted, use only in high-stakes situations!

Thalassian Phoenix Oil is the best temporary oil, but you will usually be using the Earthliving Weapon talent instead.
