Enhancement Shaman Spell Rotation

Maelstrom WeaponShaman spell rotation can be a bit tricky to figure out on your own. I’ve read enough posts in my time to have it figured out by now, but its not easy. To save everyone a little bit of work, I’d like to point out an excellent video posted and narrated by Redmist. Continue reading »

Enhancement Shaman Glyphs

Major Glyph 13Glyphs are all the rage these days. They’re a new way for players to modify spells and abilities. At level 70, players have 3 minor glyph slots and 2 major slots. The last major slot is awarded at level 80. With a limited number of slots and plenty of glyphs to chose from the choices can be complicated. After the break I’ll go over the recommended glyphs for enhancement shaman to maximum DPS. Plus, I’ll include some other options that might apply depending on your play style. Continue reading »

Windfury, Flametongue, and Weapon Speeds

There’s been a lot of discussion going around as to what weapon enchants and weapon speeds will maximize DPS for an enhancement shaman in Wrath of the Lich King. Should they be using Windfury Weapon on both weapons? What about a fast off-hand weapon with Flametongue? So many questions, so little time. I’ll answer these questions are more after the break.

  • From Earth Shock To Riptide

    12-13-2009 - Wow, 6 months since my last post.  Wondering what I’ve been up to?  Honestly, probably not, but I’m going to post about it anyway.  And as a bonus to the reader, I’ll cut right to the chase: I’m back to playing my shaman full time! I’ve been playing him full time now for almost four... Read more »

  • Wowhead Character Profiler

    06-26-2009 - I just saw a post from WoW.com that Wowhead just released their new character profiler site. It works similar to other character profiles in that it pulls data from the armory, but has the added convenience of integrating directly with wowhead.com. That’s the best of both worlds! The site includes some nifty... Read more »

  • Finding Shaman Pre-Naxx Gear

    06-15-2009 - I started doing some research on what gear is best for enhancement shaman. I found that there are plenty of pre-made lists out there for up-and-coming raiding shaman, but what I want to show is how to find the gear. To show you what to look for and how to look for it. One... Read more »

  • Shaman Class Q&A

    06-10-2009 - Blizzard has started a series of class-specific question and answer sessions where they take community questions and provide answers or feed back. First up: shaman! The goal of the Q&A was to “find out more about the design philosophy behind the class, the expectations for the class, and what may lie in store... Read more »

  • Enhancement Shaman Changes in 3.1

    04-14-2009 - Once again patch day is upon us. Patch 3.1 is a significant update to World of Warcraft. It adds a whole new instance (Ulduar), an option to dual-spec, the Argent Tournament with lots of daily quests to run (think Sunwell Isle), several UI improvements, and tons of class changes. The changes to the shaman... Read more »

  • Enhancement Shaman Leveling Build

    11-06-2008 - The basic enhancement shaman leveling build is 0/32/0. Its complete at level 41 and allows shamans to dual wield, which is more fun than it is effective early on. It also gives the shaman Stormstrike, which is a key enhancement ability. As with any leveling build there are a few options and a... Read more »
