Shamans are the spiritual advisors of the Horde. The shaman is a versatile and flexible class that fulfills many roles in an adventuring party. While other classes are pure fighters or spellcasters, the shaman enjoys a happy medium in-between. The shaman is an effective spellcaster, but can also fight extremely well with mace and staff. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

Shamans in WoW Classic are all about Totems. A Totem is a stationary, generally one-shottable due to very low health, independent object in the game world, which is placed by the shaman in exchange for Mana and a global cooldown. There are many Totems available to Shamans, and each has a unique, often niche, ability. You can have one Totem of each element placed at once - Water (such as Totem des heilenden Flusses), Earth (such as Totem der Erdstärke), Air (such as Totem des Windzorns) and Fire (such as Totem der Verbrennung). Besides Totems, Enhancement Schamane have some of the largest burst damage potential in the game when combining Sturmschlag with Waffe des Windzorns procs and Erdschock as a followup that hits the target at the same time, and can also single target heal when needed with Geringe Welle der Heilung, making them very flexible.

WoW Classic Enhancement Shaman DPS SpecializationsRestoration:

Mana Tide builds specialize not only in great mana efficiency, but also flexibility with both strong single target and AoE healing. There are a lot of strong talent choices in the Restoration tree, making it quite common to spend the vast majority of talent points there, rather than spreading them across multiple trees.

Enhancement:

Stormstrike builds can be incredibly bursty due to chain windfury procs, but are extremely passive, with only two primary abilities in the rotation, both on moderate cooldowns. Because of this, the Shaman is free to focus on maximizing totem buffs with a strategy called Totem Twisting. Because of their lower personal damage contribution, Enhancement Shaman are typically the go-to specialization for maintaining important raid debuffs such as Vernichter and Nachtlauer.

Elemental:

Elemental Mastery builds are designed to deal sustained damage, with several defensive talents to help PvE and PvP viability. For pure PvP gameplay, Nature's Swiftness enables one of the best hybrid damage and healing Shaman builds.

Have you tested Arconite Dragonling's Flame Buffet does it really work that way? I'd luv to know so I can add it to my Shaman Tank guide.

Kommentar von Uthanu

Hello Woah! thanks for the guide :D

I had a doubt. The text says that the best professions for the shaman are Herbalism + Alchemy and Engineering.

However, it is also said that the shaman must have Nightfall or Annihilator as a weapon in the end game. However, they are weapons that are only possible to manufacture with Lv. 300 profession.

In this case, why not choose Mining + Forging as professions?

Kommentar von Daftkrunk

It's a mentioned feature, but Nature's Swiftness + Ghost Wolf is a really nice combo to use in any situation where you need to move quickly outside.
