Shammy Healer Central

OK just making the thread will work on it shortly will be mostly be copy and paste job and I'll explain it as i go along.
I'm not really experienced in healing but I'm sure issih will help.

OK the first topic is resto builds I've been following issihs build but it does not quite work for me so i used the following:

0-13-58 Raid Healer
Build 1
Build 2

Positives: Has every needed talent in the resto tree for raid healing
Negatives: Does not maximize the Healing Way talent. So why put even one point in Healing Way? With at least one point, you will eventually get and be able to maintain the +18% healing buff the talent provides should you for some reason be required to heal a single target. If you truly don't want the talent, you can put 1 point in Shamanistic Focus to reduce the cost of your Shock spells by 45% (see Build #2).

Build 1 is useful in nearly every situation in which a tank as you know the tank would probably need the most healing so ancestral healing is must because the more the better for the tank.
With 25% Armour contribution boost and + if you have stoneskin totem down that is a lot of Armour.
Why 1 point in healing way you say? It will be likely that your going to spam the tank in difficult situations so the more you can heal him/her the more efficient. I would have put 3 points in the talent but there's never enough talent points ^

The reason why i don't have elemental weapons in this build is that it doesn't really scale well as you get better all you are gaining is 78 extra sp for flametongue and like 14 more hp per second for earthliving and if you think about that ain't a great deal and can easily be made up.


Glyphs

At Level 70, you can have 2 major glyphs and 3 minor glyphs.
At Level 80, you can have 3 major glyphs and 3 minor glyphs.

The glyph recommendations below are for 25-man raid content.

Current Recommended Major Glyphs
1. Glyph of Chain Heal
2. Glyph of Earthliving Weapon
3. Glyph of Lesser Healing Wave or Glyph of Healing Wave

After Patch 3.1.0
1. Glyph of Earth Shield
2. Glyph of Chain Heal
3. Glyph of Healing Stream

If you are running out of mana, replace glyph #3 with Glyph of Water Mastery Grants an additional 30 mp5.

If you are healing 5-man or 10-man content, Glyph of Healing Wave can be highly effective.

Recommended Minor Glyphs
Choose Glyph of Water Shield and then any of the ones below. Besides Water Shield, the rest will not affect healing in instances.

Glyph of Water Breathing
Glyph of Water Walking
Glyph of Ghost Wolf
Glyph of Astral Recall
Glyph of Renewed Life

Selecting Gear

No Stat weights are currently available. Values will be posted when they are determined for Level 80.

Although no stat weights are currently available, many shaman will probably be stacking Intellect (at least for early content through 25-man Naxx)

1) Ancestral Knowledge (AK) now affects Intellect so each point of Intellect is really 1.1
2) Shaman now have talents that boost crits or proc on crits
3) Nature's Blessing converts up to 15% of your Intellect into Spellpower
4) Mana restored from Mana Tide is based on your maximum mana
5) Replenishment is based on your maximum mana

10 Intellect = 6 mp5 if you have a 5-minute fight with Mana Tide and 100% uptime from Replenishment.

10 Intellect also gives 3.3 crit rating and 1.8 spell power

Intellect gives mana from three different sources. Four if you include improved water shield procs.

1. Initial mana pool. +18mana.
2. Replenish. 0.225mp5
3. Mana tide. 4.32mana per use.

In five minute fight those number are:
1. 0.3mp5
2. 0.225mp5
3. 0.072mp5

Those combined give ~0.6mp5.
