Restoration Shaman BiS — Phase 2

Serpentshrine Cavern / Tempest Keep

Restoration Shaman is TBC's raid-healing multiplier: Chain Heal hits three targets per cast and Earth Shield frees a tank healer's globals, while Mana Tide bails out the whole group's healers. The phase lists below are Chain-Heal-first — bounce healing scales harder with +healing than any single-target spell. This Phase 2 snapshot aggregates 308 top healing parses from Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep; the highest-consensus pick is Totem of Healing Rains at 95% usage.

Chain Heal is the entire job — +healing scales every bounce, and MP5 is the sustain stat because resto shamans cast more heals per fight than anyone else in the raid.

Restoration Shaman PvE FAQ

Where does Restoration Shaman Phase 2 BiS come from?

From the gear worn by 308 top-ranked Restoration Shaman healing parses on Warcraft Logs during Phase 2 (Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep), aggregated per slot — what high parsers actually equip, not a spreadsheet ideal.

What are the highest-consensus Restoration Shaman items in Phase 2?

Totem of Healing Rains (95%), Girdle of Fallen Stars (79%), Aegis of the Vindicator (70%). When an item sits above ~70% among top parsers, treat it as the priority drop to chase.

Should I follow this list exactly for Phase 2?

Use it as a loot-priority guide, not a checklist — expand each slot's alternatives, because second-choice items are often within a few percent and drop from entirely different bosses in Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep.
