Introduction
Hey, it's Thaner, a healer main for the Method raid team. I've been playing WoW since late vanilla and raided ever since then. Outside of raiding, I love to play high-end mythic plus keys on whatever class is meta for the current season. My personal motto is to do dmg first, then heal!

Massive buffs that are mostly focused on helping us in 5 man content. Thanks to it resto shaman provides very strong damage output in healing downtime.
First Impressions
Going into Dragonflight, the restoration shaman looks quite similar to the one we got used to in Shadowlands. Our biggest strength is still stacked healing with the ability to spot/spread heal thanks to the Primordial Wave that we can talent into.
The return of a few abilities from previous expansions like Ancestral Guidance or Gust of Wind and rework to Unleash Life makes our spec way more fun but still not too complex.
