RESTO SHAMAN M+ GUIDE | The War Within

[@MadSkillzzTV]

Which one do you prefer: Farseer or Totemic? 🤔 If you are looking for the talent reminder WA - you can get it here: wago.io/wWtsZmhSR Also check out my *updated* Resto Shaman video covering some of the most popular talent builds and how to save MANA as totemic 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIe4imN_o6xmiNk

[@TheGoatLocker]

I think you should still run unleash life with totemic. Your surging totem damage goes from 5 targets to 7 = more damage in aoe in addition to more healing

[@coryp6868]

​@@TheGoatLocker There just aren't enough pulls this season that'll be more than 3-4 often enough to get value. I think totemics that run undulation can expect more mana efficient value

[@iBuyHousesFastOhio]

FARSEER!!!!!!!!

[@MadSkillzzTV]

@@TheGoatLocker You can't UL surging totem, it does not consume the buff 😢

[@saromaswien]

Totemic and Farseer are very nice for me. What do you want do play in the Raid? I think Farseer is the better option.

[@viktor821]

Great walkthrough, would definitely like an advanced farseer video in the future

[@codycurtin2295]

Your excitement for resto shaman the past few weeks actually had me switch mains at the last second. Im ready

[@CubeRhinoDev]

are you me?? this last few rsham focused videos have socially influenced me from a lifelong druid healer into the shaman gospel

[@codycurtin2295]

@@CubeRhinoDev we are one

[@OctoKrool]

You inspired me to play resto shaman for the first time since MOP and I'm loving totemic so much!

[@matthewpena3932]

This was great and I'm going to need to rewatch it about 6 more times.

[@andrewsimmons2711]

@19:42 💯 agree , the Haste priority is a big point in discussion.

[@deat123]

Hey Madskill, thanks for the great video and for creating such a detailed Resto Shaman Mythic+ guide! Your insights have been super helpful, and I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into breaking everything down. I’d love to understand more about the Farseer window with the 2 ancestor up as well. Thanks again for sharing your content and helping the community!

[@coltonmarshall-oc9iv]

Awesome video Mad, this was very helpful and throughly explained. I would like the advanced video too!

[@pakuchannel7413]

so i have two main heal, shaman and druid, im healed mythic raids and 20+ keys so far previous leagues. but im main shamy now. i like farseer and healing rain stile but that is just so much button so much,and after i thought ye give a trie to totemic, and yes this is my play stile in war within. is so much easyer for me, fever buttons and incredeble healing output. love it. thanks the video aniway and the tipps and tricks.

[@ImAnOcean]

and it's not like totemic doesn't have a shit ton of keybindings lol

[@FakeAccount-gb8ny]

I would love an advanced farseer video

[@andrewsimmons2711]

Same! I love how he articulates the details.

[@carteralves7709]

Went looking for a war within resto shaman guide last night after not having touched it for a few years. Was shocked you didn't have one out and the other peoples videos weren't very engaging. So glad I checked again today to find this. Great work

[@Waevform]

shocked, get it?

[@itsKyyyle]

Video was really good. Blizzard really did a nice job with rsham, loving the interaction with lava burst + master of the elements + riptide/tidal waves. Build variety is great in m+ and raid

[@kinzowolff773]

Bro, hell yes. Just got back into WoW after a long hiatus and was looking for a M+ guide for Resto Sham and saw you just posted one.

[@diogobaptista3525]

Please make the advance guide :) Amazing video btw, shaman FTW!!

[@andrewsimmons2711]

Excited to compare your notes with my experience! Been following a bit with the live content. Farseer here :) and flip between Resto and Ele

[@Snakeskii]

Coming back to shaman after playing Evoker in dragonflight. Wildly different play style than in Shadowlands. This video is super helpful and it's really going to help in building an offspec healing build. I really like the throw hots on everyone and dps playstyle Preservation has, so it seems like totemic is more the way for me to go. Thanks so much for doing all the work!

[@Soulofmana]

Great video. In particular, I appreciate the bit where you talk about potentially dropping Primordial Wave if you don't enjoy it, or don't use it. I've found myself not using it often, same for Unleash Weapon when I'm running Totemic, and feel even that change alone has helped relieve some of the bloat I feel on my end, and some choice paralysis in the heat of the moment.

[@cro4262]

I absolutely love your videos, mate. Would 100% watch an advanced version.

[@michaelchafe1353]

Great video, looking forward to the advanced guide aswell as the raid guide.!

[@Virsbopappan]

Now do advanced guide! Love your details about everything. And include gameplay for someone like me thats kinda new to healing! :’)

[@turmoiill]

Video was 40 mins long how advanced do yah need it bud 🤣

[@Mup4yTy]

Great Information ! Good luck with M+

[@jeppehansen2665]

Great vid - Thx alot. I would also like to see advanced guides. Love your work...

[@GrdDog]

TY so much this information is so helpful for me.

[@Falco_1409]

Great video as always! Would love an advaced farseerer video.

[@rfjohnson69]

Unleash life into pwave into ancestral swiftness into a healing wave. You get a pwave cleave plus dual surges, then can follow up with surge spam as needed

[@rfjohnson69]

My point here is the fact that pwave, as, and UL all lined up on a 30s window.

[@yarnododo]

Love the guide thank you! I would love to see an in-depth guide for Farseer. I’m sometimes struggling with what to press when. When do I use Ascendance or Any other combo. What cooldowns combo nice together ect. Thanks again and looking forward to seeing more.

[@Waevform]

The most flexible and powerful talent builds for me (regardless of hero talent selection) always include the talents that make Healing Tide Totem and Ascendance into 2 min CDs. You can control your throughput pacing really well bouncing between them, and I like to macro Ancestral Guidance into both of them so they automatically get that extra punch, I don't have to think about AG (even though macroing it isn't the most efficient use, surely), and it frees up a keybind. Those things alone boost my personal play a lot. But basically for Farseer you keep the party blanketed in Riptides and now you have an extra mini-CD with Primordial Wave. It seems weak but when you use Ancestral Swiftness and Unleash Life (and/or have Undulation) before that cleaving Healing Wave it's very efficient and has weird perks like affecting people regardless of range and i think sight too (someone correct me if i'm wrong pls). Another major part of Farseer is your Tidal Waves buff you get from Riptide stacks to 4 instead of just 2... and the tier set benefits Tidal Waves as well, so you want to always be spending all your Tidal Waves buff stacks.

[@mstfoz]

Thanks! Looking forward for more tips.

[@damari1980]

Looking forward to a raiding guide :)

[@yukashi5410]

FI-NA-LLY a guide you can trust and rely on. Thanks Senpai Madskillz

[@shokash]

Great stuff mate - really looking forward to the raid info!

[@nicowins]

Madskilmz you my nr 1 youtuber! Now i am ready to conquer and after 2-3 weeks same gode for my h pally

[@VictusPrime]

Both Totemic and Farseer are really solid. I find myself running Totemic more just for the ease and simplicity, but I can see myself going down the Farseer route when pushing keys.

[@allan293-f8c]

it is only me that running OOM in heroic dungeons on totemic? just spamming everything that I have so my party wont die. I was in Dawnbreaker, and it was awful to heal as a resto shammy. OOM, everytime casting, a lot of mana spent on heal and their bars were almost to 70-80% all the time. Couldn't do a single lava burst...

[@abeardedwoman]

I feel it. Once you get used to not hard casting healing rain going to farseer feels rough haha

[@danntheman865]

Its really hard atm with every immortal tank pulling countless packs and add in any melee dps that are also apparently immortal pulling extra shit, standing in everything and not possessing any form of defensive cooldown.

[@bogguslife]

@@allan293-f8cI don’t think I ever came close to running out of mana. Sometimes you have to recognize that your hots will top people and not burn mana. You have earth shield, healing rain, riptide, and healing stream totem doing a lot of the heavy lifting and each time you drop a totem u are getting a free chain heal. Can use healing wave instead of surge for more mana efficient spot healing when necessary. Using cds efficiently is typically the biggest thing though.

[@jennastarnes5377]

I havent experienced this prob at all, totemic has way better output imo and im not panic spending mana

[@CubeRhinoDev]

You had me sucked in for the farseer windows!! I will defnitely be experimenting with this, there is huge potential with this kind of stuff for skill expression and really pushing the envelope of what is possible in healing and healer dps keys. I would love a pvp guide for rsham if you have any exp! Going to attempt for the first season to go for some higher ranks and want to do it as shaman

[@austinheathman9656]

dude this video was a game changer for my healing on the shaman , one question tho . with totemic mana seems to be a issue , which i havnt had with my other healers . Skill issue ? or is it just how the build is .

[@robertquick7468]

Great detail, I learnt a lot from this one.

[@nickolasroper3237]

You gained a subscriber today. Ty!

[@jordanrundell9962]

Could you see swapping Primordial wave for mana spring totem in a totemic build, since mana spring can proc the free chain heal also? Great guide video Madd.

[@blupp1847]

nice guide. thank you :) How did you get rounded healing numbers? Is it an Addon?

[@Neardrage]

WE ARE COOKING - LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

[@Ndstructible]

I'm loving playing rest shaman. It's a lot of fun. Would love to hear what you think of the changes that blizz is making to holy paladin. Seems like the are addressing a lot of the issues it was having.

[@perkulant4629]

I think I’m planing on dropping downpour for earthen harmony if I miss it too much.

[@DavidFast71]

Advanced Farseer would be a good vid.

[@saucymerc413]

Dope video - Do you have a link for your weak auras?

[@ninaleoni_neshana]

Would love that too!

[@electguitarz]

I prefer the no chai heal farseer build with undulation. But, I’m def going to try the chain heal farseer build with unleash life tonight!

[@alexandreemond-ti8im]

did you like it ?

[@etiennegoujon5868]

Hey Mads, Another great video! With Farseer we have access to so many riptides, so do you think the node with ancestral reach could be swap and take the other one (qi forgot the name but the one that consume riptide and buff the Chain Hela by 30%)

[@laumo664]

I want the advanced Farseer Guide !!

[@hannah51238]

Yay! THank you

[@ItsbeansYT]

The other rsham in my guild swears by totemic, meanwhile I love farseer. Totemic was fun but i found myself ooming so quick, meanwhile as farseer i never drop below 90%

[@AmericanEulogy666]

I really found farseer underwhelming, Totemic is much simpler.

[@jennastarnes5377]

How does farseer have better mana control?

[@Waevform]

@@jennastarnes5377 for the most part Totemic can be costly because you're using chain heal and occasionally or accidentally use it without the buff that reduces it's cost. Farseer is casting a lot of riptide which is very mana efficient and unless it's a niche talent version of it, it's not using chain heal at all or near as much.

[@ItsbeansYT]

@@jennastarnes5377 The spell that healign rain gets replaced with in totemic costs around 10% of your base mana, with a 15 second cd its very easy to oom yourself

[@markl1902]

I started with totemic but I just kept running OOM, maybe had to drink 2-3x a dungeon, but it was really fun so was hesitant to do farseer. Finally started and I'm liking it too, it's much easier, I never run OOM and people live, but yea AOE not that great.

[@shrtrnd6706]

Personally I mostly PUG and don't push super high keys, I switch downpour for earthern harmony. A lot of times I don't get much value out of my healing rain anyway because people, especially in caster heavy groups, just don't stand in the healing rain anyway.

[@StephenKary]

Totemic shaman is the only healer I've ever had to look at my mana bar with lol

[@saltyspitoon792]

You should make a new video about coalescing water.

[@Zarisheal]

I think there can be something mix with totemic build + chain heal build in the same time.

[@ezeess7239]

hey mad, is the 3% damage increase really needed? Isn't there better options like purge or other talents instead?

[@joaovictorlucianodecarvalh5267]

please make a video of an advanced guide for m+

[@PeterJambor-g2n]

Reactive Shield is your best friend in nasty situations. Both in pvp and 5man.

[@adamvincent4111]

Do you have any tips with macros and general button layout? Im struggling a little with the amount of hotkeys needed for this

[@Darthsinduk]

OMG THE WA!!!!

[@NisirXX]

Thank you a lot bro, but what is the biggest single save on totem build? I feel like I can do nothing but soul link ?

[@Gabfish626]

Bulwark totem, stone totem and healing tide totem

[@_Garm_]

if i want to level up my shaman, which spec should i run first ? elemental in to resto.. or resto from the start ?

[@erikasdads71]

At the moment I'm 601 ilvl playing a surge healing talents without primordial wave. I'm hitting 2m when the surge crit and believe me the mana is not being a lot of problem unless u really chain pull something that was not supose to. Is like playing holy priest and druid at the same time having 3 riptides and healing only single with surge.

[@L3head5823]

Any chance to get your UI setup? many thanks

[@kaiwood3305]

How did you get those healing text by your party members? is that an addon?

[@russellanderson7914]

Is there any chance you have a link for your Shaman WA that's tracking your cds?

[@Lastwill20]

primordial wave is overrated, its not worth playing around even if you buff it with undulation or unleash life. if you even ever yo slightly dislike primordial wave dont play it . 40 % of a healing wave is just too nerfed its in the "better than nothing" category but its still absolut trash dont think about it too much even in the highest keys.

[@saltyspitoon792]

My build i keep tide bringer and also run coalescing water, acid rain.

[@saltyspitoon792]

I dont use primordial wave in totemic, but i was in farseer.

[@onuybbyubhu]

Is it better to go 2h wep over 1h and shield if you have option for both at same ilvl?

[@fabiogreco8242]

what addon you use ?

[@clintbeastwood1]

yo how come when i play healer i gotta focus on doing more damage? should i just play a dps?

[@evilmarius]

What is the weakaura that pops up and shows cooldowns on the screen?

[@Kwispy]

Personal opinions do you guys feel the totemic hero talents are better or the farseer. I can’t decide. I do hate using chain heal though but if it’s stronger I can look past it

[@jonathanr49]

I think you’re really missing out on the improved SLT by taking high ride which is essentially random, that’s the only change I would make to your build

[@jonathanr49]

Also want to add that they need to make earth shield a permanent ability and remove the stacks. Having to recast that constantly is so bad

[@bensdecoypoondummy1189]

It does feel pretty useless recasting the same 9 stacks on the same target. Would be a lot nicer to put it on amd forget ​@jonathanr49

[@inccoruptible13]

Is downpoor better than earthen harmony?

[@dominicy4868]

How're you managing mana? I'm enjoying resto shaman, but the biggest issue i continue running into is running low on mana. Healing Surge drains a lot of my mana, it feels like. I try to press chain heal as little as possible unless I've got High Tide and Tide Bringer up (AS too off CD), so I don't think it should be that, but I could be wrong

[@bensdecoypoondummy1189]

Healing surge also chunks mana, ive been struggling a bit too. The farseer build has helped, even with chain heals, as all your heals are fatter and you spam less of them to catch back up

[@Pjakt]

Not sure which farseer build to run for m+ tbh... nor delves

[@Chufan]

Why i can't use any skill during ghost wolf form? I see that you can cast earth shield during ghost wolf form at 39:05

[@rslcgrad1004]

Idk bro I’ve never seen a high rated rsham run healing stream ever. We struggle with burst healing still. Cloudburst is the only real viable option we have. That’s why good rshams are always so evident. They know exactly when and where to drop cloudburst and trigger it right as burst damage comes in. Cloudburst is just a skill based totem, but I don’t think hst will ever outperform it. Just my opinion, I’ve never hit rank 1 but I’m usually above 3k

[@MadSkillzzTV]

Did you check out the 24:17 section? I am basically running HST until I feel I need CBT :)

[@ImAnOcean]

the season hasn't even started properly, so far healing stream does the job. if there is more predictable burst damage coming in people will switch

[@Hellion22]

[@mrxanthios7045]

Man, I tried necrotic wake +6 at stitchflesh I was doing 1.2 hps and barely holding, then I see you doing 1.8 like a breeze, holy fuck my skill issues are real. I am a bit stuck, I am not sure if I am bashing myself too much, and I need better gear, I also am stuck at 610, with no clear upgrade path. I see people above 620, which apparently equates to a 8-9k intellect difference. Where can I find material regarding drop progression?

[@Argoroklol]

Do you really think 3% fire/frost damage increase is worth more than hex/lasso as interrupts or 25% more heal on surge on urself?

[@apicomplexa305]

I prefer 25% on surge an for pvp lasso . The mana source in raid for sure. I guess depending on the context you should change talents to optimize it

[@Daemeous]

Totemic Coordination doesn't actually affect the Chain Heal from Lively Totems, only the bounces (at least when I tested yesterday) reported the bug but man, that REALLY nerfs it.

[@fastydave]

Recall is shit. Your right to do so

[@MadSkillzzTV]

I forgot to go into detail but you can definitely spec away from recall, I tend to drop it anytime I need few points for extra utility. I feel in general the class tree can change greatly depending on the dungeon :)
