Restoration - Max Survivability (8/11/52) by Ridzik
Viable for all brackets, but consider another spec if you being focused is not a problem.
Imp Watershield / Healing Grace / Nature's Blessing:
Obviously you only have six points to spend on those three, choose the two that fit best for you. I consider everything else mandatory, either because it sustains a decent amount of heal power or it helps your survivability.
Strenghts:
- best survivability spec
- cheap totems (cleanse only if you want to remove curses or a poison and a desease at once, spam PCT and DCT instead)
Weaknesses:
- no HW talents (only use HW with NS or if you want to healdrink)
- 5% less crit
Recommended glyphs: Lesser Healing Wave (major), Water Mastery (major), Water Shield (minor). Consider Earthliving Weapon, Healing Wave or Flame Shock glyph for your third major, choose what fits your playstyle best.
Recommended gems: yellow: resilience, red: spellpower/resilience, blue: stamina or stamina/resilience, meta: int/mana (Runspeed enchanted on Feet)
Recommended equip: 3 mail / 2 ringmail, crit/hit offpieces, battlemaster trinket (sp, hit or crit depending on what you lack most). I'm ok with 3% hit (cloak and ring only) but you might want more. Throw in a pve 1h/shield and maybe a pve ring instead of the hateful one and you are good to go. Aim for ~950 resilience and ~23% crit with this spec at this point of the season (early February).
Recommended profession: Engineering. It provides you with some options you really don't want to miss. Nitro boots for mobility, handmounted pyro rocket + lightning generator for 4-5k free instant burst once a minute, hyperspeed accelerators for more casting speed.
A) Spec into improved healing wave (over totemic focus) + healing wave glyph for healing your dps in burst on your dps situations?
B) Take one point out of Tidal Mastery, and one point out of improved shields and drop those into guardian totems?
Those are both more personal choices, this spec looks better than 0/20/51 by quite a bit. 6% damage reduction adds up over the course of a fight when you're getting wailed on/bursted.
A) the only use of healing wave is right before you healdrink, especially without healing way. LHW is more burst heal on a target with ES and overall more efficient.
B) yes you can, it's just not my personal preference.
B) Take one point out of Tidal Mastery, and one point out of improved shields and drop those into guardian totems?
It is not possible to take a point from Tidal Mastery because then you cannot get past the 7th tier in the resto tree. my guess would be taking 2 points from the improved shields.
Hi guys,Im playing with a rogue now at start of season 6.
