Resto shaman seeking help in pvp 2s

Hey all, as the title says, pretty much im looking to see if anyone would help me get to 1800 in 2s which seem pretty hard for me atm highest ive been is like 1755 and idk if its me or my teammates, I really need help improving on my resto sham, i know shamans arent the best in 2s but i figure 1800 would atleast be doable for me… Thanks in advance.

You should try and get the azerite pieces that have Pack Spirit traits on them, its pretty much what is carrying about 99% of Resto Shamans that are playing 2s atm. That would probably help, and make it a lot easier for you. You can get them from either grinding M+ or if you haven’t used your weekly caps, get them that way.

Since you don’t have them, I personally would not play Spirit Wolf, and would use Root totem instead - same as Spectral Recovery, I don’t think its worth to play either talent without those traits. I typically am running grounding/electrocute/voodoo mastery for the honor talents most games. Grounding is almost always viable with Maledicts in the game, even if the other team doesn’t have much to ground like versing MW/WW. Electrocute is pretty good for most things, but if its something where you don’t think you’ll be purging a lot like double DPS teams, then you might be able to play Spectral Recovery, or then use Ancestral Gift (I would probably lean more towards Ancestral Gift in that case). I like playing voodoo mastery against just about everything because if you can get yourself into a position where even versus Rdruid teams, if you’re purging their hots and forcing them out of form, you can even just use it as a cast to force them from being able to easily recover - and its also nice to be able to swap it to their partners frequently if you guys are swapping. Since most druids are running Feral Affinity, imo when they come in your DPS should be swapping to them and then root/hex their partner.

It is kind of hard to say what else you need to be doing, and personally I don’t think Shamans are strong right now, unless you have Pack Spirit traits, or really know how to utilize your offensive/defensive capabilities, and positioning is extremely important.

Besides that, I can try to help you on my DK, I think he is only around 1850-1900, but I don’t really play a whole lot - but when I am on and not doing some games, I can definitely try to offer some advice and just help in general.

GiantDwarf#1316 , send me a friend request and if you ever have any questions you can feel free to ask and I’ll try to help when I am at my PC. Also, if you have the capability to stream or record games, I can try to watch and take some notes. I have an exam I’m studying for on Tuesday, so I may not be on a whole lot before then, but after that I should have more free time to be on.

I gotcha, here is the TLDR version:

  • Get pack spirit traits
  • If you continue to fail; take the time to read the long version.

Thank you so much for your input i will try my best to get the gear u say, i do have 1 piece of the spirit wolf but i dont use it much since its ilvl 375!
but i will continue to grind for the rest of the pieces u speak of. thank you so much for your input, as far as streaming goes, what apps do u recommend i could use to record some games?
