Midnight PvP Talent Builds for Enhancement Shaman

Stormbringer - Enhancement Shaman Totemic - Enhancement Shaman

Stormbringer - Enhancement Shaman

Stormbringer is the Enhancement build that leans on Tempest Icon Tempest procs and consistent damage so your Sundering Icon Sundering, Primordial Storm Icon Primordial Storm and Lava Lash Icon Lava Lash hits matter every go. You maintain pressure with Stormstrike and Voltaic Blaze Icon Voltaic Blaze, then commit when Doom Winds Icon Doom Winds is up: Sundering stuns and cleaves, Lava Lash, and Tempest bursts the enemy.

. You’re still a hybrid pressure melee—interrupts, totems, and Hex Icon Hex — but Stormbringer makes your damage spikes not as predictable and punishing for the enemy.

Totemic - Enhancement Shaman

Totemic is the Enhancement build that leans on Surging Totem Icon Surging Totem synergy with other abilities, and acts as a burst cooldown. You get strong single-target and cleave from your totem abilities and a clear go window, so your Doom Winds Icon Doom Winds, Sundering Icon Sundering, and Lava Lash Icon Lava Lash hits are predictable and punishing. You're still a hybrid pressure melee but Totemic makes your damage spikes consistent and easier to coordinate with your team.

Mandatory PvP Talents

Grounding Totem Icon Grounding Totem summons an Air Totem with 5 health at the feet of the caster that will redirect all harmful spells cast on a nearby party or raid member to itself. Will not redirect area of effect spells. It lasts 3 seconds. This is a crucial talent for both you and your teammates. You should use this to "ground" crowd control like Polymorph Icon Polymorph or Cyclone Icon Cyclone or large spells like Chaos Bolt Icon Chaos Bolt.

Shamanism Icon Shamanism is a great Haste buff for your and your teammate to benefit from Heroism Icon Heroism/Bloodlust Icon Bloodlust.t.

  • Totem of Wrath Icon Totem of Wrath increases the critical damage by 15% of only spell casts or heals. Although this is highly dependent on how often your spells critically hit, if a critical strike happens, the damage is significant.
  • 3.2.

    Situational PvP Talents

    Static Field Totem Icon Static Field Totem can be an important factor when going for burst for a kill. This will allow you to get off your damage without being kited. This traps the enemy team within the circle. This can also be moved, dragging the enemy using Totemic Projection Icon Totemic Projection.

    Burrow Icon Burrow is an immunity defensive which can also deal moderate damage.

    3.3.

    Rarely selected PvP Talents

    Lightning Lasso Icon Lightning Lasso (available as a PvP talent) is a 5-second non-dispellable stun that does moderate damage each second. This is great for locking down an enemy to allow your team to burst or to crowd control a healer. Note that you will not be able to heal or do damag while channeling the stune, and you can be interrupted.

    Electrocute Icon Electrocute causes your enemy to suffer damage over 3 seconds when you successfully Purge Icon Purge a beneficial effect. If your team's strategy is to play aggressively, this can be an important talent to have.
