Stoneclaw Totem now protects your other totems with a ~1000 health damage shield when used.Stoneskin Totem now increases Armor for the raid instead of reducing damage from melee hits on party members.Buff totem durations were also extended from 2 to 5 minutes. Buff totems and Bloodlust / Heroism have powerful raid wide effects now, but no longer stack with similar buffs, and you can only get one Bloodlust / Heroism effect every 10 minutes.Earth Shock no longer interrupts enemies ( Wind Shear does) but instead slows their melee attack speed for 8 seconds.Wrath of Air Totem and Flametongue Totem also had their functionality changed. Tranquil Air Totem and Windwall Totem were removed, and Strength of Earth Totem / Windfury Totem had their functionality changed and now apply raid wide, but do not stack with similar buffs from other classes.Cure Toxins is the new combined single target version. Cleansing Totem merges the function of Disease Cleansing Totem and Poison Cleansing Totem and is even more powerful, as it now ticks faster! It still only removes debuffs from your party, however.Fire Nova replaces Fire Nova Totem, and can be used with any Fire totem.You can still use the Enhancing Totems talent to make Enhancement's version the strongest, however. Most group buffs and totems, such as Unleashed Rage and Strength of Earth Totem are now raid wide but do not stack with similar effects, such as Abomination's Might and Horn of Winter.Shamanistic Focus now reduces the costs of Shock spells by 45% instead of requiring a melee Critical strike for a 60% Mana cost reduction on your next shock.Still, when combined with the new Improved Stormstrike talent, Mana issues should be an issue of the past. Shamanistic Rage, relative to its TBCC version, had its cooldown halved to 1 minute and can now be used while stunned but attacks which proc its effect only regenerate half the Mana it used to in TBCC. They also bring most physical damage group buffs by themselves and arguably the most important group buff in the game, which changes depending on your faction: Bloodlust / Heroism.įinally, good scaling with gear ensures expansion-wide viability and makes Enhancement a great melee class to play with in both PvE and PvP scenarios, where its utility really shines thanks to multiple disruptive tools, such as the new Wind Shear.Ĭhanges for Enhancement Shaman DPS in Wrath of the Lich King Thanks to this and the introduction of new skills Lava Lash and Fire Nova, they have a much more complex rotation in Wrath which rewards skillful gameplay.
