Restoration Shaman PATCH 11.0.5 UPDATE & Farseer 101

[@jamesbashford7000]

Awesome! So good to see farseer guides coming. I've been loving it! Thanks

[@Tezaritz]

Hi thanks Laren for your guide again ! They are so Helpful ! It's a bit strange, I mained resto shaman since early shadowlands, always had a blast with the toolkit. When I saw hero talent as Beta was going, I was convinced I would play Farseer, looked like my cup of tea, but I hopped into the totemic train for a while until +12 keys or so. Last 2 weeks I've been timing 13 as Farseer and I enjoy it much more ! I feel like I have more controls over life bars... Idk ! Tried going back to totemic but it just doesn't feel the same ! I'am happy to have given Farseer another try ! I'am sticking to it for now and having a blast ! Timed my first 14 this week !

King of shams!

Thank you so much, I was looking forward to this :) I definitely enjoy farseer more. I don't understand how totemic is played lol, I just get oom. I'm only doing 11 / 12s in pugs, and spot healing is i think more importnat in pugs, because of the lack of communication and coordination when it comes to ccs and interrupts. I do have a question, how much haste are you playing with ?

[@Endarios_87]

I'm trying to get into farseer but I feel instant healing rain with surging just feels so good also u need to unleash to bring out ur ancestors to do decent healing right, so timing that sometimes is hard and or feels clunky?

[@Waevform]

In case he doesn't answer, I've seen in some of his videos he's had about 13%. No idea what he has now. I happen to be around the same and it seems good.

[@lareneu]

I'm playing with around 13-15% haste at the moment, will probably up that to 17% ish at some point when I can min max my gear, but this seems more than fine for me so far

[@cshiro5875]

When 95% of healers use totemic it clearly looks like farseer should be buffed in some way for us casual players.

[@rageofheaven]

Eh, both of them are excellent, its just farseer takes a bit more work, but doesnt have mana issues.

[@madhudson1]

I love this build so much, but find myself hardly ever casting healing rain, so moved the point from downpour into torrent for the juices riptides

[@madhudson1]

do you think farseer benefits from haste more than totemic? Been trying to get my shaman to around 20% haste for farseer

[@lareneu]

Yes, farseer wants more haste to benefit more during your ancestors' damage windows

[@Hodevine]

Re: Untalenting Acid Rain: Both Dawnbreaker and Necrotic Wake have large portions of the dungeon where Acid Rain simply doesnt work. As such, both of those dungeons are great candidates to untalent Acid Rain imo

[@lareneu]

@@Hodevine Yep, totally in agreement here

[@AmorXcatalunya7]

how can i get to the place where you bought the glyphs of ascendant forms

[@lareneu]

Dalaran, there’s a portal in Krasus Landing

[@Gordonfreems]

Do you maintain healing rain 100% uptime even without acid rain?

[@lareneu]

No, not at all, I just use it for stacked group healing + to benefit from the HP bonus from Downpour

[@itummy18]

The OG.

[@mrchicorivera]

i remember hearing before that healing stream totem was bugged. Therefore it was better that cloudburst due to its ease of use the HST bugged gives extra healing. is there any truth to this?

[@Waevform]

That bug has to do with the Totemic hero talent Reactivity, which is making healing stream totem heal a second ally at 100% effectiveness instead of the intended 50%.

[@lareneu]

Yeah what was said above ^ the bug is still in place and hasn't been addressed

[@SlimyTaco]

what about the type of gear for each spec ? :)

[@lareneu]

Gear won't change much for either spec. Stat wise you're still going after critical strike and versatility and then get haste to comfort. As Farseer, same stuff, but a bit more haste will be more benefitial

[@Gordonfreems]

I tried farseer until 13s and I love it, but totemic feels sooo much easier to heal I think I have a skill issue Will try this no primordial wave build for sure, thanks!
