How the Restoration Shaman guide is built

Where the data comes from

This Restoration Shaman Mythic+ guide is built from real keystone run logs uploaded to Warcraft Logs across the current dungeon pool, enriched with character data from the official Blizzard API. The talents, gear, item levels, and stat priorities shown here reflect how Restoration Shaman players actually perform inside the dungeons, while the pick rate shows how often the spec appears in those logs. Extreme outlier parses are capped so a few unusual runs cannot skew the numbers.

How tiers are assigned

The Mythic+ tier shown for Restoration Shaman comes from two factors. Performance compares its average healing against the highest healing spec among Mythic+ healers, and popularity compares its Mythic+ pick rate against an even share across all healing specs. Strong healing with real representation earns S or A, while weaker throughput or low usage moves it down through B and C to D.

This Restoration Shaman Mythic+ placement is a snapshot of the current tier and shifts with patches, class tuning, affixes, and sample size. Healing throughput does not capture damage, crowd control, or utility, so use the guide as a starting point and adapt to your key.
