Restoration Shaman Talents & Best Builds
Mined from 95 distinct builds in the current top WarcraftLogs parses. The tables below show which hero talent the best Restoration players actually run on each boss and key.
Also searched as Resto Shaman.
This page ranks Restoration Shaman talent builds from top WarcraftLogs parses, per boss and per dungeon, and shows which hero talent each build uses. The data covers 120 parses and 95 distinct talent strings. The standout result: Totemic is the only hero talent used, appearing in 100% of parses across every raid boss and Mythic+ key level listed. That means every top parse in the sample runs Totemic, regardless of encounter or dungeon.
A practical note: the table lists the five most common talent builds for each encounter, so you can compare your own setup against what the best players bring. If you are not using Totemic, you are in a tiny minority—but usage share reflects popularity, not necessarily a performance advantage. Use the builds as a reference point, then test what feels best for your group.
