Races & Racials

Orc is the most popular race for Restoration Shaman at 62%, followed by Dwarf (12%) and Draenei (8%).

Orc at 62% usage is a clear favorite, largely thanks to Hardiness, which passively reduces stun duration by 20%, one of the strongest PvP racials in the game.

Dwarf players bring Stoneform, which removes poison, disease, curse, magic, and bleed effects while reducing physical damage taken.

Gear Strategy

The preferred secondary stats are Mastery and Versatility, with Haste as a third option. Since the item level of PvP gear scales in PvP, the real gearing decision comes down to picking the right items for these stats.

The full 4-piece tier set (Mantle of the Primal Core) is standard for Restoration Shaman. Both the 2-piece and 4-piece bonuses are active.

Top players are doubling up on Arcanoweave Lining for both embellishment slots.

The most popular bloodstone is Cognitive Heliotrope (92%), and the most common secondary gem is Flawless Versatile Amethyst (71%).
