Shaman rotation in WoW Forever

3 Shaman fights in the trainer: Enhancement at level 20, Enhancement at level 60 and Elemental at level 60.

  • ManaMana is the long game. Keep your damage over time effects ticking, use your big cooldowns on time and fill the gaps with your cheapest spell.

Keep going with the Talent Calculator, your Talent Path and everything about the Shaman.

Enhancement at level 20

Training dummy

Two-handed weapon, 3.4 sec swing, Rockbiter Weapon, your Talent Path talents at 20.

Action bar

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.

Action bar

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. It hits with 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 group buff 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.

Action bar

Opener

Flame ShockLava BurstLightning Bolt

Priority

  1. Flame Shock first and keep it up: Lava Burst deals 20% more while it is on the target.

  2. Lava Burst on cooldown, your hardest single spell.

  3. Lightning Bolt between the two. Lightning Overload sometimes fires a second bolt for free.

Tips

  • Elemental is the slowest way to level early on. It comes alive from around 40 with Lava Burst.
  • In the beta the first five ranks of Lightning Bolt grow more evenly, so every new rank is an upgrade. Train each one as it comes.
  • Earth Shock stays for interrupts. It shares the cooldown with Flame Shock, which your Lava Burst needs.

Rotation questions

What is the best Shaman rotation in WoW Forever?

For example Enhancement at level 60: open with Rage of the Farseer, Stormstrike, Flame Shock, then mostly Lightning Bolt, Stormstrike, Flame Shock and Earth Shock. The trainer shows every button with the reason behind it.

How do you play a Shaman at level 20?

Enhancement at level 20: open with Earth Shock, Searing Totem, Flame Shock, then Earth Shock, Searing Totem and Flame Shock. The beta is open to level 30 now.

How does the Rotation Trainer work?

A training dummy with endless health. You play it yourself with the mouse, by tapping or on your own keys. With Autoplay the priority list presses the buttons and explains each one.

Can I play the rotation myself?

Yes, that is how the trainer starts. The glowing button is your first press, tips show the next one after that, and a comparison measures your damage against the priority list.

Which fights can I practise as a Shaman?

Enhancement at level 20, Enhancement at level 60 and Elemental at level 60.

What resource does the Shaman use?

Mana. The trainer shows live how it changes with every button.

Why a training dummy and not a boss?

The dummy never dies, so you practise the rotation without time pressure and see every step. Effects that need a kill stay dark here.

Is there a button for the end of a fight?

The Shaman has no execute button in these fights, the rotation stays the same to the end.

Are the numbers in the trainer exact?

Costs, cooldowns and effects of the buttons come from Forever. The damage is a rounded example, and level 60 is not open in the beta yet.

Which gear and talents does the trainer assume?

Enhancement at level 20: Two-handed weapon, 3.4 sec swing, Rockbiter Weapon, your Talent Path talents at 20. Enhancement at level 60: Two-handed weapon, 3.6 sec swing, Rockbiter Weapon and Windfury Totem, the Enhancement dungeon build.
