Races & Racials

Orc is the most popular race for Restoration Shaman at 50%, followed by Dark Iron Dwarf (14%) and Highmountain Tauren (10%).

Orc at 50% 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.

Dark Iron Dwarf players bring Fireblood, which removes poison, disease, curse, magic, and bleed effects while boosting primary stat.

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 (90%), and the most common secondary gem is Flawless Versatile Amethyst (39%).
