Hi guys
Im bringing up resto shammy, although in the first low keys im running at 170ilvl i have noticed the dps is the lowest compared to what i used to do with all my other healers (monk/pal/discipline). Chain lighting i find it underwhelming, such long cast for low dps (compared to spinning crane,mind sear,consacrate) , so i just basically weave lava bursts and flames shocks in between .
Any hints from more experienced players?
Thanks a lot
Lava burst weaving will easy give over 1-1.2k dps. Throw in chain lighting into packs in lower healing periods.
Tbh even up to 11 keys which in only just touching on you hardly need to concentrate on dps. Macro in flame shock to riptide and lava surge into heal to save 2 key binds and make it flow Easier too.
Shammy has one of the easiest dps rotations of healers to get out without losing much hps
Resto shaman has insanely high single target damage (second only to hpala).
In AoE situations apply flame shock to multiple enemies for instant lavabursts and use chain lightning as a filler.
Just throw flameshocks when you can (I do use LiB/CL when I can’t use the rest).
That being said, I mostly rely on flameshock and lava burst procs, mostly I’m too busy healing, not sure how other healings do that, but when my party is taking dmg, I focus on the heals)
If you just throw a few flame shock and cast lava burst on instant procs, you should already be ahead of disc in terms of dps lol
I don’t know much about other healers though
Lava burst does 300 damage less than a triple chain lightning. So ye, don’t bother pressing Chain Lightning just use Lava Burst and keep Flame shock up on as much chars as you can.
I’d only use Chain in a full pack and always use the free lava burst in between chains.
In less than 3 I’d always lava. But yes if you want to make it really simple and focus only on one- lava.
Rather use a GCD on chain than wait if lava is on CD though. Not that it matters below 15s really.
Chain lightning has to be thé most underwhelming button to press in the entire game yes it even beats Primal Strike!
I’ve got it macrod into chain heal. So I don’t even see it on the screen. It’s only good as elemental during storekeeper where you feel like a Jedi
Or stormkeeper lol. Store keeper. Hahah.
“Cast a chain of tomatoes at your enemy”
Chain Lightning is completely useless on restoration shaman. It does little to no damage, only hits 3 targets (should be 5), the cast time makes me wanna sleep and priority damage is more favorable. Spread your Flameshocks on cooldown and use Primordial Wave offensively if you can. This way you generate alot of Lava Surge procs for priority damage.
Basically what others said. Fs and lb is the way to go.
