Elemental Shaman Spell Summary
If you are new to Elemental, it is recommended you read this before
proceeding! In this section, we will discuss what abilities you have, what
they are used for within the specialization, and how they interact with
important cooldowns. If you have played this spec before or have already
achieved a level of comfort playing this spec in a practical environment,
it is recommended you skip this section and move on to the rest of the
guide.

Main Resource for Elemental Shaman
Maelstrom is the primary resource of Elemental Shamans. Maelstrom is
essentially a clone of the Rage resource Warriors use. It is generated by
casting spells and using specific abilities, while other abilities covert
Maelstrom into powerful damage. Maelstrom is generated and consumed fairly
slowly for Elemental, which makes the rotational priority very easy to
predict and contributes to a fluid state of play.
Note that this page simply lists all the different abilities, assuming
you are at max level. If you are leveling, check out our dedicated Shaman
Leveling page, which has detailed information on when you unlock all of these
abilities.

Once you reach max level, it can be somewhat overwhelming to completely
change the way you play by suddenly implementing a large number of addons in a
short space of time, especially if they have a heavy visual impact on your UI.
We recommend using some of the more basic addons recommended on our Addons Page
below while leveling so that you have more time to get used to them during the
easier phases of playing your class. You will want at least some of our Macros
as well!
