MASSIVE WIN For Resto Shaman 

Totemic shaman makes me wish Shammies could customize their totem like Locks can with their demons now. Imagine if you could go to the barber & pick any of the totem looks in the game.

Shaman looks like the go to healer for M+. As a Holy Priest main I'm a little worried for keys as Holy Priest, especially with the new dungeons having so many curses and bleeds on top of the 7 mechanics each trash pack has.

earthen harmony is not a new talent and it gave more damage reduction before rework.

I don't know why they will not make healing rain instant cast. Or take Unleash life off the GCD. Downpour proc needs to last longer. I really wish rock shield did not have stacks that had to be reapplied constantly. Otherwise, I'm really liking TWW shaman.

Feels like the thumbnail is hinting some lore

A lot of shamans have been running a riptide/prim wave build in DF keys that’s much less mana hungry and will benefit the new undulation proc for farseer so I’m excited to see how that will feel because I only ever see totemic playtesting

Thumbnail game on point as always

as someone who always return to resto after testing a "better" m+ spec, I'm so happy to just stay shaman. Totemic looks awesome.

Shout out to gust of wind for resto

Best healer vids on RU-vid. Thank you jak. Couldn't pick my main without you!

Jak!! Love the thumbnail man!!

what do u use to track and rebuff Earth Shield on 2 targets??

big problem with class tree is you have to take fringe utility to get nature's guardian, you just dont need tremor or hex that oten

what tree do you play on beta currently ? i am not sure to pick up healing stream totem or cloudburst totem for m+

Haven’t played wow and watched any of your vids in at least a year! Looking good man!

Any examples of a talent build for Totemic?

Shaman summons Uncs to heal... I like it.

I feel like shaman got buffs from this but it doesn’t feel like the rework I assumed it was going to be. A lot of old talents revamped and talent tree pathing changed to make more talents available but that doesn’t mean they’re better. Resto shaman is definitely better than before in both raid and m+ but I feel like everyone wanted one of the other covenant abilities to come back and all we got is a two passive buffs and a new defensive. Better but underwhelming in the fun department imo

Great video, thank you for making these type of videos.

Jak - what is the build you were using for Totemic Rshammy in M+?

Im not sure if you knew this but the DR on earth shield existed pre rework as well but it was 6% instead of 5% so slightly nerfed

6:12 How do Totem's Chain Heals benefit from Tidal Waves? Tidal Waves only reduce the cast time but totemic chain heals are instant.

That hey at the beginning was such a jump scare

The reason i love the shaman is it feels like a healer more than say a Mistweaver monk. If i wanted to play dps i would play dps but i want to heal. When I am on my Mistweaver monk I just dont have the same feeling as holy priest druid or shaman. I dont mind doing some damage but its not in my job title so leaving it to dots and a few cast allows me to use the healing spells more and feels more like a healer. My dps throughput coming from me buffing my dps and tank to do more damage is my jam :)

Absolute W for Resto and it's hero talents. I cannot tell you how happy I am that they made the ancestor proc off undulation as well because I do not like playing unleash life and I would never touch farseer if that were to be the case. And while I do like totemic tremendously more, I will at least give farseer a fair shake now.

Siempre en mi equipo. Grande Jak! El mejor.

Shaman Jak is something I didn’t know I needed in my life

Hey Jak, how do you rate resto shaman as a raid healer? ‘I’m thinking of switching to mistwalker for TWW. Resto shaman just feels flat and a bit dull. This video has me thinking I might should stay with it.

That ascended form is soooo nasty in 2024.

Hey Jak and Sham mains, I was wondering (wanna try to play Rsham next expansion) what is the reflexion between casying Healing Wave and Healing Surge ? HW for mana efficencie and HS for more bursty heal ? Thank you in advance :)

My main Issue with resto shaman has always been the button bloat they have, I feel like they had way too many spells and abilities. I just hope that It won't be such a mess bloat wise In the war within, played this spec for so long and It's honestly my biggest oof with It.

Does an additional auto attack even matter. What things does it benefit?

Hey AutomaticJak I had a few questions about talents you didn't cover (and I don't know if they are even in the beta or not) Reactive Warding: How does this talent feel? Does it provide significant healing if you apply a new Earth Shield to someone? New Downpour gives allies +10% max HP, does this stack with the shaman talent Ancestral vigor? (or was AV removed?) If so then does that mean shamans are giving everyone in the group +20% max hp all the time? Undulation is not a new talent but has had some wonky properties...for the entirety of Dragonflight. Have they updated it all or are there any changes to it. #1.) In DF this talent is not tracked in your buff bar, requiring weakauras to see it. #2.) In DF Undulation does not interact with Primordial Wave in an intuitive way. (if you want Undulation to buff your Primordial wave duplicated Healing waves then you have to cast Healing Wave at 2/3 stacks of Undulation) Lastly. Shaman has had some opaque interactions between Cloudburst Totem, Ancestral Guidance and Ascendance. Does healing from Totemic's healing rain or other hero class talents feed into Ascendance, AG and CB Totem? Similarly, do Farseer grandparents feed into your cooldowns as well? Appreciate the info as always, and please have a great day.

We lost Stormkeeper though. Sadge.

farseer would feel better if the spirits worked like resto druid's treant's. They should give us 1-2 charges of farseer spirits with the current undulation/unleash life having a chance to proc an extra spirit, or make them reduce the cooldown on the charges.. and the spirit should automatically start casting SOMETHING when they appear, instead of just standing there waiting for the shaman to cast. They should also change give a node in the hero talent tree to make your next healing rain instant cast when a farseer spirit is used, to offset that feeling that totemic healing rain is more superior..

I think Manatide totem will be a gimme as totemic for the extra chain heal. I think Totemic resto shaman is going to extremely strong to the point of season one nerf.

Your facials are very similiar to Astarion in bg3, i love it. 😂

We're gonna be META!

Shaman have had the earth shield DR in dragonflight for a while and could use on themselves too

16:59 what is "fadam"?

that fucking thumbnail goes HARD.

can‘t you go into a follower dungeon and get magefood there? doing this on live all the time on my healers. hope they add a warlock in those as well to get healthstones like that too lol

you already had the earth shield dr, its not new

That thumbnail ❤

Totally unrelated but I wish they had done a stat squish this expansion

I’m trying to find a healer class that has fun dps aswell. I’m between shaman and Druid. And I think dwarfs are cooler so probably where I’m going lol

Do you think that rshaman will be meta healer? Im doubting about shaman or holy paladin. Congrats for your career. Great content always.

what on earth is fotm for one of your alts?

I'm SO happy now. The only thing that worries me is that I see you with almost 0% mana in every fight in M+...

goated thumbnail

tww looking really good so far, so many nice class changes that i want to have 5 mains. LOL

what curse i havent find alot of em

I have been played wow since just before Zul Gurub maybe 19 years ago.. For the first time in DF I became a main healer and for the first time got all my portals from M+. I started in season 2 with Priest (Mostly Disc) and alt'd Resto Shaman for the first time since BC in season three and four. I have also made a Monk and Druid in Remix to see if I like aspects of their gameplay. As the alpha and beta testing started I was set on Voidweaver Disc Priest. I am now set on Resto Shaman whether its Totemic or Farseer. So looking forward to it. :D

The 2 point nodes make the bottom half of the tree bad and unintuive

do we still oom fast? D: i see your mana is always at danger levels D:

Earthen Harmony is nerfed going from DF to TWW isn't it? Wouldn't class it as an extra defensive. Still there, just worse.

While there are a lot of strengths kit wise, resto shamans will struggle to do any dps. Blizz removed the one offensive cd resto had (stormkeeper), and nerfed master of the elements. Flame shock spread is very meaningless when your lava burst can only damage one target.I would gladly take 20% dmg or healing flexibility over more flame shocks which literally only tickle. Acid rain upkeep will be nicer at least with the new totem.

resto shaman massive W rizz on ohio. on god totem shaman been rizzin in m+, utility is skibidi, on god. hope they don't get fanom-taxed too hard in raid tho and they can still do hps-maxxing edit: for real, for real.

Whats the meta healer going to be for tww plz tell me so I can level fotm sir

1 mil is 25% of healer's hp... Legion's end game numbers will get rock'd in second tier...:D Master of the element's full dps side of the talent is disappointing... min-maxing dps with it was nice thing to play around. Flame Shock spread is good and useful, but the sacrifice was not necessary.

That thumbnail is unhinged lol

I wish they would have added fun to the gameplay instead of more things to counter every mechanic in the game.

Looks like Totemic is way to go

WOW. nice thumbnail!

hunters got screwed with their raid buff by the sound of it

Whatever you are paying the thumbnail guy, double it 😂🤣

wtb an editor like benny fuck me dead these thumbnails are WICKED

Why is the thumbnail scaring me ??

I see shamans weak point - Blizzard has detected a fun spec, nerf hammer deployed!

you know you can heal when you heal more than equinox LOL

Shhhhhh...if we get too excited, they will nerf it hard before TWW starts! lol

First to a video? And for resto shaman?! Winning!

I don't know how anyone is excited about stone bulwark, seems pretty bad

you lost me when you said you was concerned about sharman getting another defensive and mentioned bloat. i mean... they had 1 before... compare that to, i dont know, everything else expect maybe hunter???? if you cared about that, complain about others having to much, not shaman getting one extra defensive lol

Terrible for PvP an utterly useless stationary caster with 2 and3 minute cds... The class spec and talents are trash

huge win for the spec, I just hope that all dudu and priest mains stick to their classes and don't reroll to shamans. you had your fun now let us dominate the scene

HAHA this thumbnail get out

Master of elements was better before. Lame.

Blizz please nerf shaman they are too strong

Dude you're coping so hard if you really think that a personal defensive tied to a totem is a great thing. I agree it's better than nothing, but no criticism against it? Weird take. Shamans deserve better but this is peak Blizzard ig.

I wish they just deleted chain heal. it's been 18 GD years. Also, the hero talent trees aren't talent trees at all. 8/11 or so 'talents' you automatically get with no variation or other option. so how is this considered a talent tree? I just feel like this whole expansion class-wise is shallow, sloppy and lazily designed to the point I don't want to play the game let alone the class.
