WoW Guide Class Guide for Enhancement Shaman in WoW Cataclysm
In WoW: Cataclysm, the Reinforcer Shaman is also in the service of the raid and primarily supports the melee fighters with his totems and abilities. He combines the power of two Thrashers with the fury of lightning, thunder, and fire to kick some serious butt. Our class guide for Enhancement Shaman!
Finally! WoW Cataclysm is here! And with it, the new zones, challenging instances, and five more levels for your hero to climb. A good opportunity for us to provide you with all the important information about the shaman who casts shocks and lightning in an updated guide. We’ll show you which skills are especially strong in the new raids, what basics beginners should pay attention to, and let you in on the secrets of reforging and the new glyph system. Finally, we’ll take a look at the first steps in the new areas and show you which skills you can use to easily reach level 85. Shamans who prefer to heal can find our WoW Restoration Shaman Guide here. An overview of all WoW guides can be found here.
The Cataclysm is Here – What’s New?
The new skills
With the WoW expansion Cataclysm , your warrior can finally level up to the new maximum level of 85. In this way, you will learn three new skills from the teacher that we have only been able to marvel at in the magic book and on the beta server:
Unleash Elements – Level 81:
Instant – 15 second cooldown Focuses and unleashes
the elemental power bound within the Shaman’s weapons. The concentrated effect is the same as the unleashed enchantment. The details of the unleash effects are recorded in the tooltips of the respective weapon enchantments.
Unleash Wind with Windfury Weapon and unleash Flame with Flametongue Weapon.
Conclusion: Unleash Wind is a really good effect for your Klopper. Especially since the ability can be cast while moving. The Unleash Flames effect is a bit weaker for you, since only your Flame Shock benefits from the buff. Either way: Unleash Elements is an integral part of your play style.
Spiritwalker’s Favor – Level 85:
Instant – 2 min cooldown
A call for spiritual guidance allows the shaman to move while casting spells with cast time. This spell can be cast while other spells are being cast. Lasts 10 seconds.
Bottom Line: The Enhancer Shaman has less trouble moving around in combat, since he primarily uses instant attacks and only has to be careful with his range. Might be a good way to throw in extra flashes or heals here and there while you’re forced to move.
