I play evoker, a strong healer class. M+ is quite challenging. I haven’t seen a resto shaman since launch. Is that a coincidence? Or are they really so weak and unable to cope with this game’s mechanics that they all rerolled?
I guild mate is resto and walks 14-15 atm. He needs to sit down here and there for mana and cds needs to be used ideally on rotation. Its manageable but a challenge (what it should be). Of course DDs with a brain are a must for things like life link totem and healing rain.
How can you come up with all those useless topics all the time? Didn’t you say you will quit…
I thought about tyring Rshaman so I wanted to ask.
Thanks for the extremely toxic reply, buddy.
Anytime brah.
“I wanted to play rshaman…”
asks how do resto shamans even heal m+
What answer do you expect, press buttons? Don’t be bad?
smacks jelincic with his vacuum cleaner
Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
He is asking how to heal in m+. Just a normal question
Thats a dumb question, a proper one would be do you f*** your m***** with the fingers that wrote the question?
Very mature
I am now in a guild with one and prevoker just seems to blow it out of the… water. Hur hur. Hoping for some buffs to the spec, the lack of mobility seemed to hurt them quite a bit.
Resto shamans wont get buffed because blizzard wants players to play new class.
I’ve never seen a healer other than myself in a m+ group

Look on raider io, shaman healer is sitting at 7.4% in +15 mythic, we are however doing better than monks who are at 3.7. Compare that to your bog standard druid healer who is at around 35% and then evokers 23%. World top 500 you only see resto shaman in there a 3 or 4 times. Blizz need to rebalance badly but they seem to be focusing on their new baby.

I never wrote they are strong. I just pointed out how a guild member does it. It’s menageable. Provided your DDs, don’t run away from your stationary heal effects, which happens far to often (even with evoker…). Do they need a buff? Yes. Can they do higher keys? Also yes. As a disc main you are probably in the spot I was the last 2 add-ons, where blizz forgot that disc player would like to do m+ content too, not only raid
The stats dont lie, Shaman healer has to do twice as much for half as much healing.

And I am not contradicting it. I say it again:
Needs definitely a buff, but you can still walk keys.
I know this experience because I mained disc from cata till shadowlands (and gave up on my fav class because blizz didn’t give a damn for m+ disc, only raid)

I was also negative about the restoration shaman, and it’s not even close to the OP healer, sure, but there’s ways to do stuff.
The thing with some of the OP healers is, that people can make more mistakes. But it is not a healer’s job to constantly cover people’s mistakes, right?
So I had a look at the wowhead guide, and chose to adjust it to what is working (for me at least). I am not sure if the wowhead guide is meant for “play like this, when you are well geared”, since e.g. there’s low haste when you start, you cast amazingly slow.
What worked for me is 
Tidal waves + Flash Flood
Master of the Elements + Focused inside
This gives you : 1. faster heals. 2. buffed heals
The moment you have enough haste you can (I believe) loose the Flash Flood and e.g. take (in my case) Torrentx2.
So yes it is challenging, but that is something I like in a game, you need to work hard for it and it doesn’t work with every group, but usually if it fails bad, it’s not on you, just a group that takes too much unneeded damage!
That is actually nice to hear. I also like healing with some brains required. Saw a good shammy in a raid the other day too. Maybe higher stats like haste will make them more viable.
Do you use cloudburst?

I always use cloudburst, I see indeed on wowhead they advise Living Stream, not for me 
.
I also use Totem Focus for this, so I have a high usage of CB
