WoW Forever Enhancement Shaman Rotation
Tooltips: Wowhead Forever DB, exact matches only (build 70532, 28 Oct).
Wowhead wrote this while the beta was capped at 30, so the level 60 picture is their projection [Unconfirmed]. Tested level 60 data: Not yet published, updated at launch.
Enhancement in Forever leans heavily on spells. You keep Magma Totem and Flame Shock rolling, press Stormstrike whenever it's ready, and turn 5 stacks of Maelstrom Weapon into an instant Lightning Bolt. Your other totems matter too: Strength of Earth and Windfury Totem buff every melee player in the group, so keep them up.
Single-target priority
| Step | Do this |
|---|---|
| 1 | Keep Magma Totem down. |
| 2 | Keep Flame Shock on the target. |
| 3 | Stormstrike. |
| 4 | Lightning Bolt at 5 Maelstrom Weapon stacks. Don't sit on 5, or new stacks are wasted. |
| 5 | Earth Shock. |
| 6 | Fire Nova as a filler, if your mana allows. |
AoE priority
| Step | Do this |
|---|---|
| 1 | Keep Magma Totem down where it hits the most targets. |
| 2 | Fire Nova on cooldown (Elemental talents cut its cooldown and raise its damage). |
| 3 | Flame Shock on as many targets as you can. |
| 4 | Stormstrike. |
| 5 | Lightning Bolt at 5 Maelstrom Weapon stacks. |
| 6 | Earth Shock. |
Cooldown
Enhancement has one cooldown: the new capstone talent, Rage of the Farseer. Line it up with any on-use trinkets and procs. If a boss fight has a damage buff phase, save it for that; otherwise use it to push the boss into its next phase faster.
Stats in one line
Wowhead's Enhancement order for 60: melee hit to 8%, expertise to 6.5%, then Strength and Intellect, Spell Piercing, haste, crit and spell damage. Full details on the Shaman stat priority page.
Your rotation depends on the talents you take. Check them in the Shaman talent calculator.
