DPS Rotation & Cooldowns

This rotation offers a general priority list for Enhancement Shaman abilities, along with key cooldowns at the bottom. It's based on a standard build and is here to help while we work on a smarter, build-aware system. Updated for the latest patch in World of Warcraft: The War Within (11.1.5).

Single Target

Ensure Surging Totem is active before the encounter begins.

Maintain Flame Shock on the target and use Feral Spirit and Primordial Wave early. Activate Doom Winds with Legacy Of The Frost Witch active, and prioritize Primordial Storm at 10 Maelstrom Weapon stacks. Use Lava Lash during Hot Hand and Windstrike during Ascendance.

AoE

Ensure Surging Totem is active before engaging multiple targets.

Spread Flame Shock with Lava Lash and use Primordial Wave for AoE setup. Activate Doom Winds with Legacy Of The Frost Witch active, and prioritize Primordial Storm and Chain Lightning at 10 Maelstrom Weapon stacks. Maintain Crash Lightning buff and use Sundering for burst.

Cooldowns

Use Feral Spirit for consistent damage and resource generation. Activate Ascendance for burst phases, Primordial Wave to set up Primordial Storm, and Doom Winds for enhanced Windfury Weapon procs.
