PvE Restoration Shaman Pre-Raid BiS & Best in Slot
bobodingo • Updated June 2, 2025
With TBC Classic being released over the course of five different phases, this list will be updated with each release to include the most up-to-date gearing choices.
For the sake of simplicity and accessibility for all players interested, I included PvP and items that are bound to be very expensive as honorable mentions and not as one of the main choices.
Armor
- Head: Whitemend Hood or Cowl of Naaru Blessings (50 Badges of Justice)
- Honorable Mention: Fathom-Helm of the Deeps – This will likely take a while to show up on any server’s Auction House, and will likely carry a hefty price tag when it does
- Neck: Natasha’s Guardian Cord or Necklace of Resplendent Hope or Necklace of Eternal Hope
- Shoulders: Primal Mooncloth Shoulders
- Cloak: White Remedy Cape or Cloak of the Everliving or Bishop’s Cloak (25 Badges of Justice)
- Honorable Mention: Lifegiving Cloak – This will likely take a while to show up on any server’s Auction House, and will likely carry a hefty price tag when it does
- Chest: Primal Mooncloth Robe
- Wrist: Windhawk Bracers or Bindings of the Timewalker (Requires Exalted with Keepers of Time)
- Hands: Gloves of the Living Touch or Prismatic Mittens of Mending
- Waist: Primal Mooncloth Belt or Windhawk Belt
- Legs: Whitemend Pants
- Boots: Wavefury Boots or Jeweled Boots of Sanctification
- Honorable Mention: Marshal’s Kodohide Boots (Alliance) or General’s Kodohide Boots (Horde) Both pairs require 17,850 Honor and 40 Eye of the Storm tokens
- Ring: Cosmic Lifeband or Band of the Crystalline Void
- Ring: Ancestral Band (Requires Revered with Thrallmar) or Ring of Convalescence (Requires Revered with Honor Hold)
- Trinket: Essence of the Martyr (41 Badges of Justice)
- Trinket: Scarab of the Infinite Cycle or Lower City Prayerbook
- Shield: Light-Bearer’s Faith Shield (33 Badges of Justice)
- Held–in–Off–Hand: Tears of Heaven
- Totem: Totem of Spontaneous Regrowth or Totem of the Plains
Weapons
- Main–Hand: Shockwave Truncheon or Gavel of Pure Light (Requires Exalted with The Sha’tar)
- Honorable Mentions: Hand of Eternity (If you CAN afford this, I would recommend this over the two listed above) and The Ancient Scepter of Sue-Min
- Two–Handed: Epoch-Mender
Armor
- Head: Cyclone Headdress or Whitemend Hood
- Neck: Emberspur Talisman or Teeth of Gruul
- Honorable Mention: Archaic Charm of Presence

- Wrists: Windhawk Bracers or Bindings of the Timewalker
- Hands: Gloves of Centering or Mitts of the Treemender or Cyclone Gloves
- Waist: Primal Mooncloth Belt or Windhawk Belt or Belt of Gale Force
- Technically, Belt of Gale Force would be behind the other two belts, but if you didn’t pick up Tailoring or Leatherworking, it’s a great option with Cord of Nature’s Sustenance coming just behind it
- Legs: Heart-Flame Leggings or Whitemend Pants or Earthsoul Leggings
- Honorable Mention: Cyclone Kilt (Ideally, for the 2-piece set bonus) and Gilded Trousers of Benediction (These will likely be extremely expensive)

Weapons
- One–Hand: Light’s Justice or Shard of the Virtuous
- Two–Hand: Crystalheart Pulse-Staff or Nightstaff of the Everliving
Armor

- Legs: Sunhawk Leggings or Cataclysm Legguards
- Note: If you happen to have Gilded Trousers of Benediction drop for you, those are optimal for Phase 2
- Feet: Orca-Hide Boots or Soul-Strider Boots
- Note: If you are fortunate enough to receive Gold-Leaf Wildboots from Doom Lord Kazzak, it should be noted that these are optimal for Phase 2
