Tier Sets
Midnight Season 2 Restoration Shaman Tier Set Bonuses:
- (2) Set Bonus: Chain Heal and Healing Wave have a chance to create a Healing Rain at the target’s Location for 8s.
- (4) Set Bonus: Every 1sec, 1 ally inside of Healing Rain gains a watery shield that absorbs 9,688 damage for 10s.
Tier Set Discussion:
This tier set screams Totemic!
Whilst the absorb amount seems small, getting it every second for 24s (Surging Totem duration) results in a lot of passive HPS.
It’s very easy to play around, just place down your Healing Rain (Surging Totem) and press your Chain Heal and Healing Wave buttons to spawn an extra Healing Rain (which has a separate cooldown to your regular Healing Rain).

Trinkets
There are a number of trinkets that are looking good for Restoration Shaman in Midnight Season 2.
Soulcoiler Ritual Vessel - On-use that grants a decently sized Absorb to your party/raid members, that during the absorb reduced damage taken by 50%, also has an extra affect that when someone dies the cooldown gets reduced and you spawn a shield. Very strong numbers on the trinket and just a overall good Progression/Mythic+ Trinket.
Wavecaller's Seastone - Passive trinket thats somewhat Similar to last tiers “Alnseer” Procs give you intellect going from 0 to 6 stacks, then goes down from 6 to 0. Strong trinket with High uptime, equip and forget kind of trinket!
Freightrunner's Flask - On-use that give you a good chunk of Crit, Shaman loves crit because not only do we crit for more then usual (215% instead of 200%) we also regain mana on crit from the “Resurgence” Talent, so a good trinket that we can macro into HTT/Ascendance for easy usage.
Ruby Whelp Shell - Passive trinket from M+, Sadly there are not too many good options for passive trinkets this tier, so you are becoming a Dragon Trainer! Make sure to “train” the trinket daily for 7 days to prefer the Stat proc.
Embellishments
Crafting is a bit tricky on Resto Shaman this Patch, because we really want to use a 1H+Shield.
Last patch we could just craft a 2H weapon, but now we need to craft a 1H with Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt as our first craft and grab the best shield we can.
Our second craft will be a Arcanoweave Lining piece, Preferably on a low stat piece (Wrists/Cloak).
Once we have gotten Mythic-Tier weapon and Shield we move the second Embellishment slot to the other low stat piece (leaving us with both Wrists/Cloak with Arcanoweave Lining).
Bonus Rolls (Nebulous Voidcores)
The Midnight Season 2 Bonus Rolls (Nebulous Voidcore) will be available from week 2 of the season as an alternative reward from your Great Vault. More sources for the bonus rolls will become available later into the Season.
Nebulous Voidcore Bonus Rolls let you target specific loot from a Raid Boss or Mythic+ Dungeon; once an item is received via Bonus Loot, that item is removed from the Bonus Loot Pool.
Below are the High Priority bonus roll target items and where they drop from:
| Source / Drop | Difficulty | Target Item |
