Elemental was reshuffled: Elemental Mastery is now the last talent in the tree, and Lava Burst and Lightning Overload are new. Enhancement gains Improved Stormstrike, Maelstrom Weapon and Rage of the Farseer, its final talent. Restoration gains Water Shield and ends at Riptide. Shamans are on both factions: Dwarf shamans are new for the Alliance, and Skyborne shamans are Horde only.
