Tooltips: Wowhead Forever DB, exact matches only (build 70532, 28 Oct).

Level as Enhancement

Wowhead calls Enhancement the default leveling spec for every shaman. Spell base damage was cut a lot, so strong auto attacks carry you, and Rockbiter Weapon's free attack power makes the early levels easy. Keep upgrading your weapon.

Weapon imbues

Use Windfury Weapon with a slow two-hander, or Flametongue Weapon with a fast one-hander and shield. Stormstrike and Windfury Weapon arrive by 30, but their mana costs are high, so don't overuse Stormstrike; save it to fish for Improved Stormstrike procs.

Questing loop

Pull with a shock or Lightning Bolt, then auto attack. Keep Lightning Shield up between pulls. Your heals turn spare mana into health on hard solo pulls.

Dungeons and AoE

Drop Searing Totem and use Fire Nova until you risk threat or run out of mana. Points in Restoration help if you want more Fire Nova and backup healing.

Totem quests

Earth at 4, Fire at 10, Water at 20 (a long, travel-heavy chain, so train Ghost Wolf first) and Air at 30, which also opens The Tempest's Weapons, rewarding Rage of the Storm.

Legacy points

Wowhead advises against Maelstrom Weapon until you can fill all 5 ranks.

Beta caps at 30; no tested route or talent order beyond. Level 30–60 route: Not yet published, updated at launch.
