Restoration Shaman BiS — Phase 5

Sunwell Plateau

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 5 snapshot aggregates 237 top healing parses from Sunwell Plateau; the highest-consensus pick is Skyshatter Boots at 89% 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.

Skyshatter Boots (89%), Totem of Healing Rains (88%), Skyshatter Belt (84%). 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 5?

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 Sunwell Plateau.
