11.0.7 The War Within Season 1 Enhancement Shaman Guide (Updated 2/6/25)
There weren't many balance patch related changes,
I'll see you in a new post for Internal War Season 2.
Kirke's Eye
Stormbringer's Runescribed Amber
Deepsea Dweller's Runescribed Amber
Legendary Captain's Amber / Wind Rider's Runescribed Amber
This is how you use it.
Be sure to run a sim, and if your haste is low with Kirke's Eye, take a haste elixir.
+ Added a comment about the Flowing Spirit talent on 10/31
+ 11/7 Modified the explanation of the Thorim's Origin mechanism (Primal Tide and Ascended Storm)
+ 11/29 Added explanation
Please refer to the WoWhead rotation section for the basic mechanism.
Since the content is mostly text-based, use keywords to find the information you need.
I recommend searching with Ctrl + F.
Physical Key Stone (Dungeon) AoE
CcQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMzMDMjZYmZmhZZmZZZMDAAAAAAAAAgNA2MjhNyCMDDNYBAzykBmFzwYMmZmlZsMzMZjlxyYMAAzYA
You can give the points given to "World Splitter" and "Flame Shock" to "Chilling Strike" and "Twisting Winds".
Chilling Strike is quite helpful in single target situations.
And when adopting Chilling Strike, you must take the right Chilling Strike (melee attack, 15 second cooldown).
Hybrid Raid Single Target (.5 Same as before)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secondary Stats
Haste>Mastery>Crit=Vers
It is recommended to exceed at least 30% haste based on elixir doping,
After 30% haste and 60% mastery, it is recommended to run a sim.
Physical Enhancement (Key Stone Dungeon)
First of all, it's Physical Enhancement.
It is now the main spec, and the time has come when Physical Enhancement is strong after a long time.
Now Elemental Enhancement is weak and difficult compared to Physical Enhancement. I recommend doing Physical Enhancement.
Rotation
Single Target
Primal - Feral - (Lava Burst) - Lightning Bolt - Ascendance - Lava Beam - Stormstrike - Stormstrike
AoE
(Basic)
Primal - Feral - Chain Lightning - Crash Lightning - (Lava Burst) - Lightning Bolt - Ascendance - Lava Beam - Stormstrike - Stormstrike
(When you have Electrocute + a little distance to pull)
Primal - Feral - Electrocute - Chain Lightning - (Lava Burst) - Lightning Bolt - Ascendance - Lava Beam - Stormstrike - Stormstrike
Basically, start with Primal Tide and Feral Spirit.
You can adjust the order of Feral and Primal depending on the distance of the mob pull.
In the case of 6 targets, you can add Flame Shock to the (basic) cycle to hit 6 targets with Lightning Bolt after Primal Tide.
Set the Lightning Bolt target to the main target that needs to be focused.
(Lava Burst) is related to Maelstrom generation when using Lightning Bolt.
After Primal Tide, an additional strong Lightning Bolt is fired at the target with Flame Shock.
If you dump with high Maelstrom, you can deal very strong damage, so mix in Lava Burst according to the Maelstrom situation.
If the Feral Spirit cooldown comes during Ascendance, use Feral Spirit immediately.
Q. If I use Lightning Bolt and then Ascend, won't Chain Lightning be cast with Stormstrike due to the Thorim's Origin talent?
A. If Lightning Bolt hits multiple enemies with Primordial Wave while Thorim's Invocation is set to cast Chain Lightning,
it has been patched so that the alignment state is not changed.
(Original text:
- If Lightning Bolt hits multiple enemies with Primordial Wave while Thorim's Invocation is set to cast Chain Lightning, it will no longer switch to Lightning Bolt.
)
+ After Primal Tide, the enhanced Lightning Bolt will automatically align to Chain Lightning when it hits multiple targets.
Although it is not in the patch notes, it seems that the current mechanism will be maintained until further notice.
Q. How do you use Storm during Ascendance?
A. When Storm is activated, use Storm manually when it is high Maelstrom.
Storm does not affect the Thorim's Origin state. (Even if you use Storm when Chain Lightning is aligned, it is still Chain Lightning aligned)
+ If you hit multiple targets with Storm after using Ascendance in the Lightning Bolt aligned state, Thorim's Origin will be aligned with Chain Lightning.
It is a form of using the 2-minute cooldown Ascendance and the 1-minute cooldown Doom Winds together, and generating Maelstrom mainly with Lava Burst to use skills.
The difference from the past is that Ascendance has become a 2-minute cooldown, and Lava Burst can be maintained up to 2 stacks,
You only need to hit Stormstrike during Ascendance, except for consuming Storm with high Maelstrom.
Crash Lightning can be used as a filler like Chilling Strike, except in Primal Tide situations.
Since Lava Burst has become 2 stacks, there are far fewer times when you will use Crash Lightning and Chilling Strike than before.
New Talent: Electrified Shocks
Flame Shock is enhanced depending on the conditions.
When using Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, and Storm, Flame Shock -> Electrified Shocks, which is a skill that applies Flame Shock to 5 targets.
In situations where you have to use Primal Crash Lightning, the physical build has a slight DPS loss because Crash Lightning's damage is weak.
Primal - Electrified Shocks plays the role of the existing Flame Shock work.
The disadvantage is that it is triggered conditionally, so it is not always there,
It is a spell that only gives 1 Maelstrom, and there is a delay in the skill entering.
Since it gives 1 Maelstrom for sure, it is good to use when there are no fillers at all.
Talent Change: Static Discharge
The existing talent that Chain Lightning is instantly cast and damage is increased by 40% when Storm hits 2 or more targets has been changed.
The changed talent is that the next Lightning Bolt/Chain Lightning after casting Storm is instantly cast and activated one more time.
Considering Static Discharge, it has become important to dump with high Maelstrom for the next skill after Storm.
New Talent: Flowing Spirit (Added 10/31)
It is a talent that changes Feral Spirit to passive. When attacking, a wolf that lasts for 8 seconds appears with a certain probability.
It is in the same place as the Doctor's Lineage, which is the cooldown reduction of Feral Spirit.
A special feature is that it receives the Tier 4 set effect, so 2 wolves come out from the 4 set,
The type of wolf is determined according to the attack attribute.
If you take the physical tree and use Flowing Spirit, only the nature wolf that we need will come out a lot.
(Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, Storm damage increase)
+ (11/29)
Doctor's Lineage is better unless Doctor's Lineage is nerfed further.
Flowing Spirit is slightly pushed back due to the problem of Feral Spirit uptime + turnover.
Raid Enhancement (Totem/Hybrid)
Totem Single Target Enhancement
(Feral) - Surge Totem - Ascendance - Lava Beam - Sundering - Stormstrike - Stormstrike
The usage of Totem Enhancement is simple.
Place the Surging Totem, use cooldowns (Ascendance, Doom Winds), and use Lightning Bolt when Maelstrom is charged while hitting Lava Burst.
World Splitter can also be used every cooldown, and it is sometimes cooldown reset with the Burning Thunder talent.
Since the totem duration is 24 seconds and the cooldown is also 24 seconds, just keep placing the totem every cooldown
Use Totemic Recall to move the totem when the boss moves.
Q. Is Totem Enhancement not good in Mythic+?
A. It is a difficult environment to use in Mythic+. Lava Lash is required for AoE damage, so you have to divide the talents,
It is difficult to utilize Surging Totem because there are many variables. I don't want to recommend it.
Hybrid Single Target Enhancement
Primal - Feral - (Lava Burst) - Lightning Bolt - Ascendance - Lava Beam - Stormstrike - Stormstrike -(When there are 3 or 4 or more wolves) Elemental Blast - Stormstrike
Hybrid Enhancement, which was a hot topic in single target even before .5.
The usage is the same as Physical Enhancement, but the Elemental Blast skill has been added.
It is recommended to dump Elemental Blast with high Maelstrom in situations where there are many wolves.
The filler priority is Lava Burst > Chilling Strike > Crash Lightning > Frost Shock.
Things to keep in mind while playing Enhancement Shaman
1. Do not throw Capacitor Totem when entering the pull
The CC skills in WoW basically have a diminishing return system applied.
It is released after 18 seconds, and the same type of CC continues to eat diminishing returns, and becomes immune at a certain level.
In the case of Shaman, Capacitor is a stun, and if you use the Capacitor 2 talent, the next stun is almost certainly immune.
This Mythic+ dungeons are very fatal if interrupts are missed, and even if you interrupt with a crowd control skill, it will be cast immediately without a cooldown.
Please don't throw Capacitor when pulling.
Prioritize interrupts and crowd control with Capacitor and Thunderstorm at the timing when your team members' interrupts are empty.
2. Do not summon Earth Elemental every cooldown
Earth Elemental is a good survival skill from the Shaman's point of view.
However, Earth Elemental taunts the mobs in trash sections, not during bosses.
It can steal the tank's aggro and interfere with the tank's kiting or pulling.
Do not use Earth Elemental in trash sections unless there is an agreement or the tank is about to die.
3. Dump big skills after aggro is grabbed
Enhancement Shaman has many skills with powerful one-shots.
Lightning Bolt and Storm, which are activated by Primal Tide, raise the meter frighteningly at the moment of hitting.
The stronger you deal damage, the easier it is to take the tank's aggro, right?
It is mostly the dealer's fault that the tank's aggro is lost when entering the pull.
Spread Primal and Flame Shock, summon Feral Spirit, and deal damage while watching the tank grab aggro.
If aggro is lost, it will be difficult for the tank to survive.

Shadowbound Ritual Knife is also good.
Weapon - Crafted (Recommended) / Kaiveza's Infested Longbow / Vault of the Incarnates
Skardyn's Grace can be used by binding it with Ascendance with a macro.
For decorations, you can put the Darkmoon Ascendance and double the effect.
It is recommended to run a sim for other items.
For weapon enchants, I recommend 2x Abyssal Authority.
I tried combining several Brilliant Depths when it was 50,000 gold at the beginning of the season,
Abyssal Authority 2 was the most versatile.
If you mainly go to Mythic+, I recommend Brilliant Strength.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is it worth switching from Elemental to Enhancement?
A. The styles are different, so there is no right or wrong answer. Shaman who used to do it originally only did that, whether they got buffed or nerfed,
You can do whatever you want. Enhancement has also become easier, so it is not a job that has that much burden.
Q. Is it okay even if it gets nerfed? (10/31 Patch)
A. If you only look at "damage", I think it is Tier 0. Even if it gets nerfed, it is a really strong dealer.
+ It got an additional nerf on 11/28.
It has come down from the overwhelming Tier 0 damage of the past, but it is still a competitive dealer.
Q. How should I dump Maelstrom when Storm is up?
A. It is best to dump with the highest Maelstrom possible. Storm itself deals very strong damage + the Maelstrom stack is ridiculously strong.
Maxroll recommends dumping at 8 Maelstrom or higher.
+ Storm is activated when there are 40 Maelstrom or 3 stacks of Awakening Storm.
These two do not reset each other's stacks.
It is good to manage so that you do not fly Storm by tracking the stacks with WeakAuras, etc.
++ Storm Usage Mechanism Explanation
Storm enhances Lightning Bolt and is a good skill that deals AoE damage to multiple targets.
Since it is basically a strong skill, it is important to dump as much Maelstrom as possible to inflate the damage.
However, when using Storm, a Nature Wolf Spirit comes out due to the Hero talent Rolling Thunder.
The Nature Wolf Spirit is a wolf that increases Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning damage by 20%, which is a very strong effect.
Due to this effect, the situation of dumping as soon as Storm turns is bringing a stronger rotation.
->In a single target situation, it is true that dumping Storm with high Maelstrom is strong,
If there are 5~6 Maelstrom or more in a situation where Storm can be cast,It is better to dump it right away.
In AoE situations, it is unconditionally better to cast Storm with high Maelstrom.
Q. How does Storm activate when I hit Stormstrike during Ascendance? (Related to Thorim's Origin)
A. Thorim's Origin basically goes out based on the Lightning Bolt/Chain Lightning that was activated before using Stormstrike.
+ If you hit multiple targets with Storm after using Ascendance in the Lightning Bolt aligned state, it will be aligned with Chain Lightning.
With the 11.0.5 patch, if you have aligned with Chain Lightning during Ascendance, Storm will not be activated with Stormstrike.
Q. Should I use Feral Spirit that comes back during Ascendance?
A. Feral Spirit will unconditionally come back due to the high Maelstrom generation during Ascendance activation. It is recommended to use Feral Spirit as soon as it turns.
Q. What should I do when there is a remaining GCD when Stormstrike is not turning?
A. You can do Crash Lightning, Wolf Spirit, refresh Lightning Shield buff, etc. Lava Burst is 2 stacks, so there is not much chance that Stormstrike will not turn.
Q. When should I use Lightning Shield?
A. Just maintain the Lightning Shield buff in the case of multiple targets. Maintaining Lightning Shield has a bigger impact than you think in the case of multiple targets.
Q. What are the usage criteria for Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning?
A. Use Lightning Bolt in the case of single target, and Chain Lightning in the case of 2 targets.
However, when using Primal Tide, you must use Lightning Bolt after spreading Flame Shock.
(Lightning Bolt is activated on all targets with Flame Shock)
Q. I'm not dealing enough damage in big pulls
A. You can change targets and apply Lightning Rod using Ascendance Stormstrike, or save Storm Charge and dump it on big pulls.
Enhancement Shaman itself has a 5 target limit, so it is difficult to eat the damage share unless you hit Storm multiple times.
