Great guide!! Very detailed for a quick short guide

A lot of guides would recommend taking improved lightning shields as it's the most mana efficient per damage

"Weapon Progression:
Coming soon" :(

[BenjaminsToybox]

I love all the classic content these guys are creating. It really is holding me over until classic launches. I am making a shaman tank, one way or another. It’s already in my head as a personal challenge!

Money saving:
9. Don't buy useless skills. For example, to learn all skills for 30-40 levels range you need 50+ gold total. You can harmlessly skip secondary weapon enchantments (frostbrand, etc), rarely-used totems like disease cleansing and so on. If you don't you the skill - don't learn it, save for mount instead.

thank you for showing low and high level rotations. most guides just show maxed rotations

[grimawormtongue]

Why does a slow weapon benefit more from rockbiter? (1:30)
What about attack power gives more *DPS^ to a slower weapon? Each hit will be bigger commensurate with the weapon swing time, but why would that increase the DPS?

I think going for 3% melee and spell hit talent is better than going ele, also it gives 0.5s cast time reduction on healing wave for healing 5mans

[hcZofrin]

Could u maybe make a guide on what to buy at the class trainer cause I feel like I waist a ton of money on that

[joedarling]

Having LS up and flame shock becomes really mana intensive. I dont recommend both unless you dont mind drinking more often. Typically;(lighting bolt if you want to pull from a tight pack)flame shock, searing totem and melee them down. This is still quite quick and saves mana. I dont use storm strike unless Its pvp or I need to melt something down quick. But even then you need to use the crit chance debuff it applies to the enemy to really gain any benefit from it. So you should throw an earth shock on your target after storm striking them.

[AristeidisKypriotis]

A nice and brief guide for sure, but you definitely need to mention Earthbind totem kiting. It is huge when levelling and grinding, it saves you from a lot of downtime

[bastinelli]

Why do most guides recommend the shield talent ? Im only level 16 and can't afford the respec.

Great video, i will add something tho. I dont think rockbiter is the best option all the time. if you just leveled flametongue, and your rockbiter is a bunch of levels behind. use flamtongue.. same with weapons.. use the one you have avalilable which is the better. a dagger/shield can be way better damage if you have no great two handed weapon etc.

Im going to level with two handed from 1-25 ish. when i get into contested zoned, i will switch to onehanded+shield coz i will be playing on a PvP server. The added defence from a shield is clearly noticable, especially fighting rogues! You do more damage with a one handed alive than with a two handed dead :)

i thought i was tripping when i heard the oblivion soundtrack in the background lmao

Str totem talent I found helpful leveling

[SimakSantana]

I don’t know why every guide levels as enchantment, almost all of those talents have little use or small proc chance. I stack int and quest elemental. I can solo 3 guys at once and then still able to kill more mobs. As ench spec you would literally have to use as little spells as possible and also forced to cast healing wave after every mob. Enchantment is way overrated.

[Poxtor]

Havent melee leway in classic killed of earthbind kiteing, just like it has killed hamstring kiting ?

[skyslayer]

In classic do they have a 2nd spec option to switch specs?

[BoraMarkovic]

Whats the best race for shaman with the above guide?
