When we’re talking about Shaman as a melee damage dealer, the Enhancement tree is the best choice you have. This talent tree is well known for its Dual Wield, a talent that allows a Shaman to dual-wield one hand weapons. It also has Lava Lash and Flametounge, which you will use often. How to use it? Keep reading this WoW Shaman guide for more detailed tips.
Enhancement Talent Build
With the rule that make you to spend thirty one points in 1 particular tree before moving to other talent trees, it has became a little easier to “pick a specialization” with little distraction. In cases like this, obviously you’ll want to put all those 31 points in the Enhancement tree. Here’s the talent build:
– Elemental Weapons (2)
– Focused Strikes (3)
– Improved Shields (3)
– Elemental Devastation (3)
– Flurry (3)
– Ancestral Swiftness (2)
– Stormstrike (1)
– Static Shock (3)
– Searing Flames (3)
– Shamanistic Rage (1)
– Unleashed Rage (2)
– Maelstrom Weapon (3)
– Improved Lava Lash (2)
Make it 32 points with 1 point in Feral Spirit.
Add some points from the Elemental tree:
– Acuity (3)
– Concussion (2)
– Reverberation (2)
– Elemental Precision (2)
The best way to play as an Enhancement Shaman
Your totems are really useful in raids and heroics, so I recommend you to become a member of a raid party and make yourself useful. Furthermore, other skills (like Hex) are also valuable in certain circumstance, so don’t forget to equip Glyph of Hex on your Major Glyphs. Generally, this is the general setup:
Prime Glyphs
– Flametongue Weapon
– Lava Lash
– Stromstrike
Some important glyphs to be placed in your Major Glyphs
– Hex
– Lightning Shield
– Shamanistic Rage
Lastly, put Windfury Weapon on your main hand weapon and Flametongue Weapon on your off hand weapon.
Once the battle begins, your 1st concern should be to drop your totems first. The totems that you should drop first are Strength of Earth, Searing Totem, Healing Stream, and Windfury Totem. After that, activate your Shamanistic Rage. At this time, your battle preparation is completed; begin to burst some damage with Stormstrike, Unleash Elements, and Earth Shock.
When your Searing Flames has reached five stacks, use your Lava Lash. Normally this will provide you with a high damage output. Do the same with Maelstrom Weapon; when it has reached 5 stacks, use your Lightning Bolt.
And that’s how you use an Enhancement Shaman effectively. Of course, you don’t need to do all of those in every fight, I’m just putting an illustration on what you should do in a boss fight. Use all skills and abilities mentioned in this WoW Shaman Guide correctly and you’ll be welcomed in any raid party.
