Enhancement Shaman PvP Talents and Builds — Midnight Pre-Patch (12.0)

While the above table provides a generally accurate overview of the viability of talents, some finer points are discussed in the sections that follow, and we recommend you read those for a deeper understanding.

• Totemic Projection is critical for the use with Static Field Totem and repositioning enemies, mainly melee teams.
• Thunderous Paws, Winds of Al'Akir, and Gust of Wind gives mobility to reposition or get away.
• Planes Traveler gives a reduced cooldown for Astral Shift.
• Increased mobility to break out of roots through Spirit Walk.

• Doom Winds and Sundering sets Enhancement Shaman to do big burst
• Raging Maelstrom allows your spenders to benefit from ten stacks of Maelstrom Weapon, making spenders even more powerful.
• Elemental Assault allows for increased Maelstrom Weapon generation through Stormstrike. This makes the rotation of Enhancement Shaman feel more smooth.
• Increased mobility through Spirit Walk.

The Stormbringer specialization for Enhancement Shaman focuses on using Tempest to deal burst damage, along with Doom Winds.

• Tempest: Deals significant nature damage to your target.

Overall, the Stormbringer Hero talents for Enhancement Shaman are very offensive, and increases the overall Enhancement Shaman's damaging abilities.

You can choose 3 of the following PvP talents. Each of them has their uses, but some are better for certain strategies than others. The top three choices are the most useful but can be replaced with other PvP talents, depending on your team's goal.

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 Ebonbolt.

Static Field Totem has only around 5K HP, but 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.

Totem of Wrath is a default pick. This talent 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.

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

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