Restoration Shaman PvP Best Arena Compositions (Dragonflight / 10.0.2)
Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Restoration Shaman (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Restoration Shaman PvP Guide.
2v2 Arena
In 2v2 Arena, you have many strong options. Strong pairing options
are usually classes with strong self healing like Death Knights or Demon
Hunters, where the Restoration Shaman plays defensively and avoids taking
damage, while Rogues and Warriors can also be good partners due to their
high pressure. For high pressure the Restoration Shaman wants to be
aggressive with their teammate using Stormkeeper,
Wind Shear,
Purge,
Lightning Bolt, and
Flame Shock /
Lava Burst to slay their
opponents.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
- Restoration Shaman + Arms Warrior
- Restoration Shaman + Havoc Demon Hunter
- Restoration Shaman + Unholy DK
- Restoration Shaman + Assassination Rogue
- Restoration Shaman + Windwalker Monk
3v3 Arena
Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena. If you are playing against a team
with a healer with multiple HoTs or buffs (Restoration Druid or Discipline
Priest), make sure you are using Purge/
Greater Purge as often
as you can. Make sure to maintain
Earth Shield on the teammate taking
the most damage. Rotate your
Healing Stream Totem with
Riptide
for a lot of instant healing. Use
Grounding Totem to ground interrupts
or big incoming damage. If you are being focused, use
Astral Shift and
have your teammates help keep you alive. Use
Ghost Wolf to stay mobile
and reposition as needed.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
- Restoration Shaman + Arms Warrior + Retribution Paladin
- Restoration Shaman + Arms Warrior + Frost DK / Unholy DK
- Restoration Shaman + Havoc Demon Hunter + Frost DK / Unholy DK
- Restoration Shaman + Shadow Priest + Affliction Warlock
- Restoration Shaman + Shadow Priest + Demonology Warlock
- Restoration Shaman + Windwalker Monk + Frost DK
