Restoration Shaman Best in Slot — WotLK, Phase 3 — Trial of the Crusader
Phase 3 (Trial of the Crusader 25 Heroic / Argent Crusade Tribute Chest — Alliance itemization; Horde runs faction-mirrored items of equal value) Best in Slot from the Icy Veins WotLK Classic Restoration Shaman Healer gear guide. Alliance itemization used throughout (Icy Veins splits Phase 3 by faction on some class pages) — Horde equivalents come from the same Argent Crusade Tribute Chest / bosses at identical item level, just different names/appearance. Rings/Trinkets: the source lists 2-3 ranked options in one row (you equip two) — split here into two named slots, top pick in slot 1; combined source text kept for both. Enchants/gems reused from the matching wotlk/p4 spec profile (same stat priorities apply across phases).
