| I remember back in the day when I first made my | | | | want to grab from the enhancement tree is the skill |
| Orc Shaman. This was before the Burning Crusade | | | | called shamanistic focus, this skill will lower the mana |
| expansion, and I can remember leveling him as | | | | cost of all your shocks by 45%. Anything that lowers |
| restoration using a 1 handed mace and a shield. I | | | | your mana cost of core abilities as a raider is a must |
| have learned a lot since those days. With Wrath of | | | | to pick up for any class. You may also want to take |
| the Lich King out now, my shaman has seen a lot of | | | | ancestral knowledge for the 10% increase to intellect. |
| nerfs and buffs. Read below for my Shaman WotLK | | | | Here is your raiding dps rotation; |
| look into the 3 different raiding talent specializations. | | | | Flame Shock > Lightning Bolt > Chain Lightning |
| *special note: (if you are looking for leveling specs, | | | | > Lava Burst > Thunderstorm |
| these raiding specs will work, just add points as you | | | | Water Shield (Only when it wears off) |
| level.) | | | | #3 Needed Shaman WotLK Spec - Enhancement 16 |
| #1 Needed Shaman WotLK Spec - Restoration 0/16 | | | | 55/0 |
| 55 | | | | One of the more favored talent specs back in |
| When you first decide that raiding is going to be for | | | | Burning Crusade has now seem to taken a little fall in |
| you at level 80 as a Shaman the one most needed | | | | the raiding charts because of the way buffs now |
| spec that will pop out is going to be restoration. Most | | | | work in raids and wind fury totem not being as |
| if not all guilds need a good strong resto shaman in | | | | important for melee classes like it used to be. Still |
| wotlk for both 10 man and 25 man raids. You can | | | | enhance shamans are always welcome and if played |
| find the best raiding restoration specializations online, | | | | right can bring a strong dps/buff makeup to any raid. |
| just know that you will want 16 points in | | | | Always remember when raiding as an enhance |
| enhancement for the 3/3 improved shields and 3/3 | | | | shaman to have the max amount of hit raiding |
| elemental weapons. Also remember that intellect is | | | | percentage which at the moment is 17%. Maxing hit |
| one of the more important stats to go for, yes spell | | | | will raise your dps far faster and make you more |
| power is nice, but adding intellect will not only raise | | | | consistent that any other stat. One thing you will |
| your spell power if speced correctly but will also raise | | | | quickly notice is that the talent spec of Enhancement |
| your spell critical chance and the size of your mana | | | | is that which can not be modified much. Almost all |
| pool. | | | | talents will need to be speced into if a shaman wants |
| #2 Needed Shaman WotLK Spec - Elemental 57/14/0 | | | | to max out his dps potential. |
| This is just one spec that many elemental raiding | | | | I hope that my little WoW Shaman WotLK guide will |
| shamans choose, but unlike the resto shaman spec | | | | be of some use to the newer shamans out there. Do |
| this talent build can be tweaked and modified a little | | | | not forget that a lot of what raiding has become is |
| to your own liking. One of the major talents you will | | | | trial and error and learning from your mistakes. |
