WoW Forever Restoration Shaman BiS at level 60
Summary
This is the site’s suggestion for Restoration Shaman at level 60, not an official list: we use our Restoration stat weights to score every item a Shaman can use with a required level of 60 or lower, and pick the best one for each slot. The beta does not reach this level yet (the current cap is 30): it is a forecast, and items and their sources may change.
Stat priority of the list, per point: Mana per 5 sec > Healing = Spell Power > Intellect. Percentage stats count too, per 1%: spell critical strike.

More on Restoration Shaman
Reasoning: Restoration heals with Healing Wave and Lesser Healing Wave: healing and spell power first, mana per 5 s with a heavy weight since shaman spirit regen is poor, and intellect for total mana. Crit is worth a bit thanks to Ancestral Healing. Shield or off-hand item, whichever adds up higher.
Heads up: the beta is capped at level 30 and the weights are indicative, tuned for level 60 with no simulations behind them. Sources come from the WoWSims Forever database and, for items that already existed in Classic, from the Classic 1.12 database (CMaNGOS Classic-DB, marked "Classic data": they may change in Forever); an item without a source may not be obtainable yet. Set bonuses and procs are not scored. Everything will change with each build.
Treat these lists as a starting point: your talents, enchants and play style may make another piece the better pick.
