Enhancement Shaman PvP Rotation and Playstyle (Dragonflight / 10.0.7)

The Enhancement Shaman should focus on maximizing their damage as much as they can. Maximizing damage and using instant utility like Wind Shear, and Capacitor Totem will give windows where your team can do devastating damaging bursts.

Have a plan for who you will be mainly using your crowd control on. Although Enhancement Shaman do lack crowd control, they still have Hex and Capacitor Totem if someone stands near it.

If you are playing against a team that has the ability to fear your healer, you can use Tremor Totem. This is a great utility spell.

Set your focus target to the main enemy team member who will be likely using crowd control like Polymorph or Fear.This will allow you to know when to use Wind Shear and Grounding Totem to stop the crowd control.

Use Earth Shield on your teammate who will be focused, which is usually the Enhancemenet Shaman.

Use Windfury Weapon and Flametongue on your weapons before the gates open.

Sustained damage is damage you do when your burst cooldowns are not available.

1. Use and maintain Flame Shock on the enemy as you approach.
2. Use Stormstrike, generating Maelstrom Weapon.
   • Use Stormstrike when you get a Stormbringer proc.
   • Use Elemental Blast when having 10 Maelstrom Weapon stacks.
3. Use Lava Lash and Crash Lightning, if talented, as filler abilities.
4. Use Lightning Bolt if you have 10 Maelstrom Weapon stacks available, as the last option.
   • Often store your Maelstrom Weapon stacks to save for later use with Healing Surge.
   • Use Frost Shock on cooldown as a filler ability.
   • Keep Windfury Totem's buff active, if talented.
5. If you cannot connect to your target use, Frost Shock, Flame Shock, or Lightning Bolt.
6. Use utility like Healing Stream Totem, Windfury Totem, Earthbind Totem, Earthgrab Totem, or Earth Shield.
7. Use your burst rotation.

When you have the enemy healer in crowd control and you are trying to kill an enemy, you use your burst damage. If you can, stun the kill target with Capacitor Totem or have your team stun the target so they cannot move or use defensives.

1. Once at 10 stacks of Maelstrom Weapon.
2. Make sure Windfury Totem is nearby, if talented.
3. Use Feral Spirit.
4. Use Primordial Wave on the kill target.
5. Use Static Field Totem on the kill target.
6. Use Lava Lash with stacks of Ashen Catalyst, and Hot Hand if talented.
7. Use Lightning Bolt.
8. Use Stormstrike and Lava Lash until 10 stacks of Maelstrom Weapon.
9. Use Elemental Blast.
10. Use Sundering if you are using this talent.
11. Use Stormstrike as soon as you get a Stormbringer proc.
12. Use Crash Lightning and Frost Shock, as fillers.
13. Often store your Maelstrom Weapon stacks to save for later use with Healing Surge.

Astral Shift is the main and only defensive cooldown on a Enhancement Shaman. This cannot be used while stunned, and reduces damage taken by 40% for 12 seconds.

Healing Stream Totem should be used to provide low amounts of passive healing, further buffed by Swirling Currents. This is also increased through the 20% benefit if Earth Shield is on the target will provide significant side healing.

Healing Surge should only be used with 5 or more Maelstrom Weapon stacks to gain the benefit of the increased throughput. Try to only use Healing Surge on teammates with your Earth Shield, and after pressing Healing Stream Totem with the Swirling Currents buff active.

Spirit Walk will mostly be used to break root effects to keep on a target or to move to safety.

It is advised to use Macros to use abilities on enemies or allies without having to target them. For this reason, we have a page dedicated to them.
