Level by Level Rotation, Talents, and Trainer Skills
Move the slider below to make the guide update to your level!
Level: 70
2.
Leveling Talent Tree & Build
Your first talent unlocks at Level 10.
These talents will allow you to be as good of ahealer as possible, and are optimal for group play. We recommend the use of adifferent specialization if you intend to solo level.
3.
Leveling Glyphs
In Wrath you will be able to unlock Glyphs that improve your abilitiesat the following levels:
- Level 15 unlocks your first Major and Minor Glyphs;
- Level 30 unlocks your second Major Glyph;
- Level 50 unlocks your second Minor Glyph;
- Level 70 unlocks your third Minor Glyph;
- Level 80 unlocks your third Major Glyph.
As a leveling Restoration Shaman you will want to eventually be using Glyph of Lesser Healing Wave and
Glyph of Earth Shield. As these glyphsrequire
Earth Shield to function, use
Glyph of Healing Wave and
Glyph of Healing Stream Totem in the early part of your leveling. The finalmajor glyph is only unlocked at Level 80, at which point you should swap to anend-game build.
For minor glyphs, Glyph of Water Shield,
Glyph of Renewed Life, and
Glyph of Water Walking are fine quality of life options.

Leveling Rotation
Unlike the other specializations, Restoration is meant to be played in a groupsetting, typically while leveling through dungeons. The rotation below is madewith that in mind and details your healing rotation at any given level, which youcan adjust with the level slider at the start of the guide.
