Opener

Earth ShockSearing TotemFlame Shock

Priority

1. 

   Earth Shock to pull from range. It also interrupts a cast.

2. 

   Searing Totem attacks the target on its own for 35 seconds and keeps a Fire totem down for Fire Nova.

3. 

   Flame Shock when you have mana to spare: a hit plus Fire damage over 12 seconds.

4. 

   Earth Shock only with a full mana bar. Your weapon with Rockbiter does most of your damage for free.

Tips

• Most of your damage at 20 comes from your weapon under Rockbiter Weapon. A better two-hander is your biggest upgrade.
• The shocks share one 6 second cooldown, so you never chain two shocks back to back.
• Save mana between pulls for Fire Nova on the next pack, it is your best tool against groups.

Enhancement at level 60

Training dummy

Two-handed weapon, 3.6 sec swing, Rockbiter Weapon and Windfury Totem, the Enhancement dungeon build.

• Flame Shock216 Mana · 5.6 sec cooldown
• Rage of the Farseer3 min cooldown

Opener

Rage of the FarseerStormstrikeFlame Shock

Priority

1. 

   Rage of the Farseer when you can stay on the target: 30% faster attacks for 25 seconds.

2. 

   Maelstrom Weapon at 5 stacks: Lightning Bolt is instant and free. Fire it before a new stack is wasted.

3. 

   Stormstrike on cooldown, every 6 seconds. It hits for 150% of your weapon and makes your next Lightning Bolt or Earth Shock 20% stronger.

4. 

   Flame Shock with spare mana: its damage over time runs next to your swings.

5. 

   Earth Shock right after Stormstrike, while its 20% bonus is on the target.

Tips

• Windfury Totem is a steady buff for your whole raid in Forever, so every melee group wants an Enhancement Shaman.
• Stormstrike first, then the Lightning Bolt or Earth Shock that eats its 20% bonus.
• Never sit on 5 Maelstrom stacks. Every swing after that is a stack you lose.

Elemental at level 60

Training dummy

Staff or one-hander and shield with spell power, a Mana Spring Totem and mana gear, the Elemental dungeon caster build with Lightning Mastery.

Action bar

• Flame Shock369 Mana · 5.6 sec cooldown
• Lightning Bolt200 Mana · 2 sec cast
• Lightning Mastery3 min cooldown

Opener

Lightning MasteryFlame ShockLightning BoltLightning Bolt

Priority

1. 

   Lightning Mastery at the start of the fight: for 15 seconds Lightning Bolt casts half a second faster.

2. 

   Flame Shock first and keep it up: a big hit plus Fire damage over 21 seconds while you cast.

3. 

   Lightning Bolt as your main spell. Lightning Overload fires a second bolt for free on up to 30% of your casts.

Tips

• Lava Burst is gone at launch. Call of Thunder takes its place in the tree and gives Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning 5% more crit chance.
• Every rank of Lightning Bolt hits harder at launch, the top rank about 80% more than in the beta. Train each one as it comes.
• Earth Shock stays for interrupts. It shares the cooldown with Flame Shock, so keep Flame Shock rolling first.
