Restoration/Enhancement (0/17/54) by Pex

I don't see low tier elemental being an option, going a little bit into enhance provides instant Ghost Wolf and a bit more healing.

I see no issue with dropping points in Elemental for more Restoration.

To quote a amazing resto shaman:
Why tide when I can drink?

5/5 guardian nature is just waste.

I'll agree I would only put 3 points into it and use the other 2 for imp ES.

This is a horrible spec. No one use it.

No Shamanistic Focus.
No Imp Shields.
No ancestral Awakening???

5/5 Nature's Guardian is a waste due to the cooldown.
Elemental weapons is a freakin waste.
You never use Healing Wave in Arena, therefore healing way is useless.
^^Imp healing wave.

All in all this should be deleted.

To be honest, when I made that post describing my guess on which spec would be good in arena, this was it. Throughout season 5, I never once actually used my own spec that I put here, it was something that I came up with before arenas were released.

Hopefully this thread will be updated soon (http://www.arenajunkies.com/showthread.php?t=83394) with my current spec and something that should be a lot more current.

Response to the current posts: I think mana tide is worth it, with it costing 4 points and the difference it can makes in games, the only reason not to get it is to free points up for toughness.
5/5 nature's guardian is definitely a waste, I never once put 5 points in it after I found out there was a cooldown on it. In TBC nature's guardian had no cooldown and it was very strong, I was simply unaware of it's change.
I still feel improved healing wave is stronger than totemic focus, healing wave is more mana efficient than lhw when earth shield isnt up, it's also useful for a large heal before a drink. Healing way on the other hand is not worth any points.
