Stormlash Totem - Is a new raid DPS cooldown and plays a big part in every raid's burst phases. Ideally, your raid will have an assigned order to avoid overlapping your available Stormlash Totems. Its effect is very potent for Enhancement Shamans since it adds Nature damage to attacks and spells, which scales with Mastery.

Ancestral Guidance - This is the second big new raid cooldown, which is also part of the level 75 Talent choices. It is a major healing cooldown for the raid, converting 20% of all damage done into healing for the 3 most injured party or raid members. With this, you can support your healers in pushing through heavy incoming raid damage.

Ascendance - A new personal DPS cooldown transforming the Shaman for 15 seconds. While in the form of an Air Ascendant, melee attacks and Stormstrike deal Nature damage and can be used from up to 30 yards away.

Elemental Mastery - Is part of the level 60 Talents, increasing the player's Haste by 30% for 20 seconds on a short 1.5-minute cooldown

Ancestral Swiftness - Allows the next Nature spell with a base cast time of 10 seconds or less to be cast instantly. It also increases the player's spell Haste by 5% and melee Haste by 10% passively.

Unleashed Fury - Empowers Unleash Elements and adds more effects to it for each active weapon imbue. Unleashing Windfury Weapon allows auto attacks to trigger Static Shock. Unleashing Flametongue Weapon increases the enemy's damage taken from Lightning Bolt by 30%. Unleashing Earthliving Weapon further increases the effectiveness of the next single-target heal by 50%. Unleashing Frostbrand Weapon will reduce the target's movement speed by 50% for 4 seconds. Unleashing Rockbiter Weapon allows you to take 40% reduced damage from your target.

Primal Elementalist - Empowers Earth Elemental Totem and Fire Elemental Totem, making them 80% more powerful and turning them into pets under the player's direct control with additional abilities.

Elemental Blast - This is a 2-second cast time spell with a 12-second cooldown, which can get its cast time reduced by Maelstrom Weapon. It is a very hard-hitting ability that grants the user 3500 Agility, Critical Strike, Haste, or Mastery for 8 seconds after it is used.
