Totems, shocks and chain heals: a flexible hybrid that can heal, cast or fight in melee. In WoW Forever the Shaman has three talent trees (Elemental, Enhancement, Restoration); 17 of its 50 talents are new compared with Classic and 26 were changed. 5 race options can play it, including new ones: Dwarf, Windshaper Skyborne.
Go down Enhancement for Flurry, Stormstrike and Maelstrom Weapon, then spend the rest on Restoration for cheaper totems and faster self-heals.
