Enhancement Shaman PvP Talents and Builds — Midnight Season 1
Choosing the right PvP and PvE talents is a prerequisite to proper performance in PvP. This guide goes through the various talent choices available to you as an Enhancement Shaman and gives you the best combinations you can take.
This page is part of our Enhancement Shaman PvP Guide.
Midnight PvP Talent Builds for Enhancement Shaman
Stormbringer - Enhancement Shaman
Stormbringer is the Enhancement build that leans on
Tempest procs and consistent
damage so your
Sundering,
Primordial Storm and
Lava Lash hits
matter every go. You maintain pressure with Stormstrike and
Voltaic Blaze, then commit when
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 — but Stormbringer makes your damage spikes not as predictable and
punishing for the enemy.
Be sure to make use of the 'Copy Export String' button to import the best build directly into your game!
Totemic - Enhancement Shaman
Totemic is the Enhancement build that leans on
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,
Sundering,
and
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 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 or
Cyclone or large
spells like
Chaos Bolt.
Shamanism is a great Haste buff for your and your teammate to benefit from
Heroism/
Bloodlust.t.
Situational PvP Talents
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.
Burrow is an immunity defensive which can also deal moderate damage.
Rarely selected PvP Talents
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 causes your enemy to suffer damage over 3 seconds
when you successfully
Purge a beneficial effect. If your team's
strategy is to play aggressively, this can be an important talent to have.
