Resto Shaman PASSIVE Healing Build 2.0 for The War Within!

This is what I started playing in Season 4. It looks way better now after all the changes. Definitely playing this in TWW. I dunno why I just like spamming Riptide.

Decided on resto shaman after the recent hpal nerfs

Why is it called passive healing build
Is it because it takes more passive talents and fewer active ability talents?

Zuco! Since you have so many riptides in this build, do you think it would be beneficial to pick up Flow of the Tides to consume one of the riptides for a big chain heal during a heavy aoe damage phase? It looks like with the lowering of riptide CD from Offering of Beyond, plus the additional charges, we should have no issues keeping up Riptides once consumed.

Loved the OG build and pushed with a slightly modified version of it to 3.4k with it in S3 :)

Looking forward to try it out again in TWW, was a fun playstyle!

EDIT: After looking at the entire vid, I wonder if something like this that dips even more into Riptide wouldn't work better. dropping a few QoL talents. I understand giving power to our CDs but we have a lot and they are already quite strong baseline. The overall consistent throughput sounds like a better fit for a "passive" healing build imo.

this guy is great, very helpful <3

Hey dude, w h a t e v e r it takes to not get PW is valid for me!

this dude just uses click bait titles and plays like crap....

Excellent build, testing it out now.

I love this build....ran the old one for 90% of DF.....and never let me down....great video as usual

Hey Zuco, do you plan to go for title with your Rsham in S1?

Ah! So happy you made a new vid for next exp! Absolutely loved the Passive build you did in DF and I pretty much ran only that with big success.

For a passive healing build I think you take primal tidal core. I know you don't need it for the HOT but with torrent it is massive passive healing.

Your passive healing build got me into Shaman healing. I hated cloudburst bc i could never time it well. Once I got comfortable with my spells I was able to transition to CB pretty easily. Thank you for doing these different build styles!

Wouldn't Totemic be better for this? Surging totem for a 24 sec 30% stronger healing rain, Healing stream cleaves at 50% and lasts 3 secs longer, and earthliving lasts 3 secs longer. Wavespeaker and Primal core should make up for only 2 riptide charges.

I'd like to ask you a (stupid) question: do you think could be useful to cast Healing Stram Totem x2 instant? I mean, using them both on a fight that would require a lot of sustain?

So they realy went with 2 extra buttons for farseer? No thx.
Imma throw chain healing slinging totems around and never hard cast a healing rain ever again. Good luck y'all.

Cool build. Have you tried Routine Communication with Primal Tide Core? It seems like that would generate more ancestors, who would not last as long but would proc more Hydrobubbles and Offering From Beyond. The loop between Offering, Routine Communication, and Primal Tide Core could passively proc Deeply Rooted Elements more.

Casually talking about Resto shaman build while his elemental DPS charts from the last M+ are still up there with him at #1. This guy......can do no wrong! :D Great video, thank you much.

Your passive healing build is my go to now. Super mana efficient and the passive healing allows me to dps more. Ever since your OG passive healing video, I have completely removed chainheal from my rotation 😂

sorry for the bad english :) I use google translate.
May I ask what kind of Weakaura you use? :) I've been looking for something that isn't so cluttered for a long time. All the weakauras that I have tested so far have too much information at once for my taste. And I don't trust myself to assemble it myself.

Mr. Zuco! may i have ur opinion about stat priority? i see that u go (Intellect ofc above all) then Mastery > Versa = Haste > Crit. I see in guides and stuff that they go Crit first. The huge mastery boost is cause of the 150% i assume. Is this change because we get all the passive crit boosts from talents or smth else? I appriciate ur work! u help a lot of people! keep on doing great vids

Calling this build "PAssive" it's just click bait

ive been running this, primodial wave>healing wave is both 2 buttons that are never pressed otherwise so its cringe

hey zuco - what are you using for that spell queue?

So much for the stat squish lol.... we're critting for 2m again

this build brought me into 18's for M+ as a new healer when it came out. has been my favorite way to heal on shaman since mists of pandaria

Hello!
How does this go in the pre-patch? Does anybody know?

Will it work in raids in prepatch? Cheers

Sorry this is my opinion but this whole build does not make much sense to me. Whats this meant for raid or m+ or even pvp ??? Farseer without indulation is auto bad. You keep saying spam ripte all the time - we do this in every single resto shaman build no matter what. Reactive warding is BAD, mana tide questionable , improved earthliving is still bad. Ancestrall awakening 1/2 and no primal tidal core goes like against your whole idea of passive healing.
But anyway you know what is good ? These talent trees are so good for shammy that everyone can play whatever they want. And thats good.

Im a returning player, havent played in many years. Wanted to give resto shaman a try but they have so many buttons its really scaring me away from tying sadly.

I like ur build, very much. but why not the totemic hero talents ? is there not even more passive healing on it? with the instant healing rain and the "more" healing when u place ur other totems ?=)

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much!

I'll have to try this because was cooking with something like this but with pwave and if I don't gotta use pwave ide be welcome to it lol

thx love u 2

Will this still be viable going into war within?

Will it compare to the burst healing of totemic overall? Much more mana conservation with Farseer. My buddy and i are going to do one Farseer and the other totemic in normal raid on the 11th to see who fairs best. Thanks 🙏! Dont ever stop being Zuco💪

Hey Zuco, I really liked your guide and you earned a sub, can you tell me the damage/healing roughly that ancestors do on both their ST/AOE damage and ST/AOE healing based on your cast? is it on par with the damage/healing we do? or roughly how strong? Thanks in advance! :) Oh and also! does the integrated WoW UI have a way to share profiles? I'll be maining Rsham in tww and I really like your simple but effective UI and I'm finally going to make the jump off of elvui now that it's a fresh xpac, if possible I'd really appreciate it if you shared it! :)

What professions if any make sense for shaman going into tww?

ok so basicaly basic shaman heal played irght,l alway have healing rain down for the subsain, add healing stream to spot in it (substain) spread the riptide..ect (enter legion set up for riptide spect) use chain heal with the talent that reduce its cast time when needed. Gg. that not a spect. that basic right played resto shaman.

that not a build that just base resto shaman before cloudbust was a thing

Seriously great video thanks man.

This is just Shaman healing.

What else have people been doing?

I think i will try getting the hang on this one first. Was a long time Shaman healer, but stopped playing Shaman in ~WoD and transitioned into Fistweaver for 2 Addons. And yes, back then Resto was kinda the same, but with a lot less buffing interactions and especially with no CB Totem. SO trying it without first, even if its kinda more forgiving than before with less CD and 2 charges.

I used to main this build in DF and it was awesome! Thank you for sharing it.

Which stats does this build uses?

I respect the effort you put into this vid but its not passive healing at all? Casting healing raind, stream totem and riptide is the part of your 'passive healing' but thats also the case with totemic hero talents. In fact, totem is the true passive healer, it almost even beats a resto druid. Wkth Farseer, you have to bring 2 ancestors down with 2 button hits, and you havent started healing anyone yet because the ancestors cast heals when you cast heals but you didnt cast any yet. So you always have to have one of the 16 seconds ancestors up all the time ready to copy your heal when needed.
Totemic on the other hand, increases your stream totem by 3 or 4 seconds so you spam it less, healing rain is changing into surging totem which is an instant cast but healing rain is not. Then, when the group starts taking dmg you just insta cast your totems and auto cast chain heal on all; first chain heal after puttin surging totem down makes your chain heal hard cast earthliving on every player it heals and makes it so you chain heal doesnt fall off with healing after each jump. Everything else is the same as Farseer; cast riptide between each heal etc.
The only thing people keep saying about Totemic hero talents is that it focuses on chain heals and chain heal is too costly so you will go oom alot but the funny thing is that the chain heals are auto cast and for free by putting your totems down. The only time i cast chain is after putting surging totem down for earthliving and after that none. You can have 3 stream totems down with totemic projection, and with a totemic hero talents every stream totem heals a second target with 50% effectivness making it so 3 totems heal 3 people while each totems heals another with 50% power which actually jumps to the guys who already had a heal with 100% power.
So lets recap, the fight has started, you insta cast surging totem on tank, you cast a chain heal (1second), cast a stream totem and start riptiding ppl. In moments of burst dmg you cast a second or third stream totem, a tide totem, a mana totem. All of these totems also casted an auto free chain heal, which bounces off of you surging totems and heals again.
Farseer, you cast healing rain 1 second, you riptide almost everyone, cast stream totem. Moment of burst dmg, you summon one or two ancestors and you start casting healing surges or waves (1second+ casts) and riptides.
So if we are going to call a hero tree passive, it has to be totemic.

Not a fan of the builds on ice veins I'm going to try this tonight much more my style

how is it going today for this build ?
