Restoration is the Healer specialization of the Shaman in WoW: Forever. This page summarizes its talent tree as it appears in the beta client (build 1.60.1.69913); the role is the one stated by the Icy Veins guide for the specialization.
The class's three trees, with the talents the Icy Veins guide recommends at level 20 in colour and all the others in grey. The small number on the left of each row is the points you must have spent in the tree to reach it. Point counts are shown when the guide states them; otherwise only the talents are named. This section is fixed: it does not move and does not depend on the calculator.
Icy Veins describes effects rather than talent names; they were matched in the tree from their official text.
Icy Veins: reduces Healing Wave cast time.
Icy Veins: 50% mana regeneration while casting.
Optional: lower threat (alternative to Improved Reincarnation).
Optional: shorter Reincarnation cooldown and more maximum health.
Icy Veins: better mana economy.
In order of importance, according to Icy Veins.
Icy Veins: aim for healing and/or Mana sustain so you heal more, and for longer.
What the Icy Veins guide lists for this specialization.
No source publishes a best-in-slot list or enchants for this specialization yet: the Icy Veins Forever guides only cover level 20 for now and do not detail them. The dungeon items below are ranked by rule from the stat priority and are not a best-in-slot list. This section will be filled when a source publishes them, with nothing invented on our side.

These are the deepest talents in the tree: they require 30 points already spent in the specialization. Official game text, at maximum rank.
Heals a friendly target for 480, an additional 445 over 15 sec, and increases the effectiveness of your Chain Heal casts directly on that target by 25%.
Talents you take only once, with their tier (official text at maximum rank).
The caster is surrounded by 3 globes of water. When a spell, melee, or ranged attack hits the caster or when one of the caster's healing spells gets a critical result, 2% of maximum mana is restored to the caster, expending one water globe. Only one globe will activate every few seconds. Lasts 10 min. Only one Elemental Shield can be active on the Shaman at any one time.
Summons a Mana Tide Totem with 5 health at the feet of the caster for 12 sec that restores 88 mana every 3 seconds to group members within 30 yards.
When activated, your next Nature spell with a casting time less than 10 sec. becomes an instant cast spell.
Each line is a tier of the tree; in brackets, the talent's maximum rank.
| Tier | The tree tier by tier |
|---|---|
| 1 | Improved Healing Wave (5) · Totemic Focus (5) |
| 2 | Mindfulness (3) · Natural Grace (3) · Tidal Focus (5) · Improved Reincarnation (2) |
