Restoration Shaman PvP Best Arena Compositions — The War Within (11.0.5)

In 2v2 Arena, you have many strong options. Strong pairing options are usually classes with strong self healing, like Death Knights or Demon Hunters, where the Restoration Shaman plays defensively and avoids taking damage, while Rogues and Warriors can also be good partners due to their high pressure. For high pressure, the Restoration Shaman wants to be aggressive with their teammate using Wind Shear, Purge, Lava Burst, and Flame Shock / Lightning Lasso to slay their opponents.

Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:

• Restoration Shaman + Havoc Demon Hunter
• Restoration Shaman + Arms Warrior
• Restoration Shaman + Retribution Paladin
• Restoration Shaman + Outlaw Rogue
• Restoration Shaman + Shadow Priest
• Restoration Shaman + Assassination Rogue

Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena. If you are playing against a team with a healer with multiple HoTs or buffs (Restoration Druid or Discipline Priest), make sure you are using Purge/ Greater Purge as often as you can. Make sure to maintain Earth Shield on the teammate taking the most damage. Rotate your Healing Stream Totem with Riptide for a lot of instant healing. Use Grounding Totem to ground interrupts or big incoming damage. If you are being focused, use Astral Shift and have your teammates help keep you alive. Use Ghost Wolf to stay mobile and reposition as needed.

Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:

• Restoration Shaman + Arms Warrior + Retribution Paladin
