Resto Stats
- Primary:Â Int & Resilience
- Secondary:Â PvP Power > Spirit* > Int > Mastery
- Weaker:Â Haste & Crit, Hit
PvP Power, point for point,  might be nearly as good as Int, but since gems with it have 2x the value as gems with Int you should gem for PvP Power. (EG: 160 Int Vs 320 PvP Power.)
Spirit depends on your mana usage. If you’re fine then get more PvP power.
Haste and Crit aren’t bad stats, it’s just that the others are generally better. Hit is bad unless you’re DPSing for some reason.
Reforge Haste, Crit, and Hit  to Spirit or Mastery
Gems for the Resto Shaman
You will want to match socket bonuses, unless the bonus is for a weak stat, like Hit. It might be worthwhile to put the purple (Mysterious) gems in your red slots and the green (Vivid) gems in the yellow and blue slots.

Restoration Enchantments
Short on gold? If you want to buy the best enchants, fund all of your alts, donate to the guild, etc., but don’t have the cash, then see what the Tycoon Addon can do about about fixing your poverty.
Helm enchants are gone in Mists of Pandaria, shoulder enchants are handled by the Inscription profession.
The Chest piece is the only Resilience enchant, there are no PvP Power enchants.

Restoration Shaman PvP Videos
There are three videos here. The first covers Resto PvP basics, the next your build and glyphs, the last goes into more advanced topics. If you need more gold to pay for expenses, then go here.
Resto Shamman PvP Basics
An overview of the Shaman and what they can do. Does not cover builds or gear. While it’s not a Mists of Pandaria video you should still be able to get some useful “how to” info from it.
Resto 4.3 PvP Guide, part
As above, this is not a M of P video, but you should be able to get some decent tips. Some macros are covered.

How to Get your Shama to the Level Cap, ASAP
Looking to get your Shaman to max level? How about all  those other alts you want to level though those 90 levels?
With the thousands of quests to 90 and a bazillion mobs to kill (not to mention other players, but they don’t count here) the task of sorting out which quests are best and which series of quests will get you to 90 the fastest is important, not to mention knowing exactly where to go and what to do, which is why we highly recommend Zygor’s Guide.
Zygor’s is an in-game guide and it nearly automates the whole leveling process: you just pick your starting point, at any level, and the guide tracks which quest you’re on, tracks the quest objectives, and automatically advances and updates as you complete your tasks and quests. In addition, a waypoint arrow is set automatically, so you never have to wonder where the goal of your quest is located. All of the important quest info is included in the guide so you never have to wonder what to do. You’ll find that it’s vastly superior to the in-game questing help.
Playing with Heirlooms and/or Recruit a friend? Gaining a few levels in the dungeons or in PvP? Zygor has your back. The guide knows what level you are and will correctly suggest where to go next and will let you dump all of your obsolete quests. You will probably never need to look at your quest log again.
Grab your copy here and get to 90 as fast as possible, or read our review, first.
Hello!
Love this guide helped me so much in improving in pvp arena. I was just wondering what addons you use and wich once you would recomend. I would like to know the name of the one where the cast bar of the set focus comes up when (mage) is casting frost bolt. sometime i get so focused on other thing i forget to look but if it comes upp like this it would help alot.
/resto shaman trying to improve
Well, thanks for the nice words even though we both know it’s a pretty poor guide right now.
As for addons, I don’t use many. I’m experimenting with LUI right now, and it might actually do what you’re looking for. Curse has a lot of Shaman addons, so I’d suggest experimenting until you find one you like. Don’t forget that they’ll have to be updated when 5.2 hits.
If you can afford $4 a month you could try Skill-capped.com. They have a ton of Resto info, but you do have to be a member for most of it. Also, here’s a YouTube that might be worthwhile.
