This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to play in a PvP environment. The guide will cover everything from talent choices, PvP talents, gameplay and rotation, and useful racial bonuses. It is most applicable to Arena content, but most talents and racial bonuses will work in Rated Battlegrounds and skirmishes.

Enhancement Shaman in the Current Meta
Enhancement Shamans are extremely powerful in the pre-patch for
Dragonflight. This is due to Doom Winds and
Elemental Blast
, now being very powerful cooldowns. The improved sustained damage
through buffs to
Windfury Weapon increases Enhancement Shaman
to be meta in the current state of the game.
Notable 10.0.7 Changes
Astral Shift duration increased to 12 seconds (was 8 seconds)
Go With The Flow now reduces the cooldown of
Spirit Walk by 10/20 seconds (was 7.5/15 seconds).
Swirling Currents has been redesigned – Increases the healing done by
Healing Stream Totem and
Cloudburst Totem by 10%/20%.
- Several adjustments to talent positions.
Enhancement Shamans' Strengths
- Strong melee and ranged damage and burst
- Multiple interupts
- Significant caster distruption
- Strong healing
Grounding Totem and
Tremor Totem provide strong utility to the team
Enhancement Shamans' Weaknesses
- Predictable burst damage
- Limited crowd-control
- Single defensive cooldown
- Damage is dependent on uptime
