    WoW Forever Shaman talents at a glance

    Shamans have 50 talents, four more than in Classic: 12 new and 30 changed. Eight Classic talents are gone, five of them from Enhancement, including Weapon Mastery and Two-Handed Axes and Maces.

    The 31-point talents are Elemental Mastery for Elemental, the new Rage of the Farseer for Enhancement and the new Riptide for Restoration. The 16-point talents are Earthbound, Stormstrike and Mana Tide Totem.

    Beta build 1.60.1.70425 rebuilt the Elemental tree. Lava Burst moved down from row 7 to row 5, Elemental Mastery returned as the 31-point talent, Call of Thunder left the tree, and Trial by Fire replaced Improved Fire Nova. Eight Elemental talents changed position, and in Restoration, Tidal Focus and Totemic Focus swapped rows.

    Elemental

    A WoW Forever Elemental Shaman spends most points in this tree. Earthbound, the 16-point talent, makes Earthbind Totem immobilize nearby targets when cast. Lava Burst in row 5 deals extra damage to targets with your Flame Shock, and Lightning Overload next to it gives Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning a chance to cast a second half-damage copy. Elemental Mastery needs Lava Burst and, for 15 sec, cuts the cast time of Lightning Bolt and Lava Burst by 0.5 sec and removes the cooldown of Chain Lightning. Trial by Fire strengthens Fire Nova and Magma Totem.

    Enhancement

    A WoW Forever Enhancement Shaman spends most points in this tree. Enhancement turns Intellect into damage: Mental Dexterity adds Attack Power and Mental Quickness adds spell damage and healing from Intellect. Maelstrom Weapon makes melee hits speed up and cheapen your next Lightning Bolt, Improved Stormstrike restores mana and can reset Stormstrike when you dodge or parry, Shamanistic Focus lowers Shock costs, and Rage of the Farseer raises attack speed by 30% for 25 seconds.

    Restoration

    A WoW Forever Restoration Shaman spends most points in this tree. Mindfulness lets part of your mana regeneration continue while casting, Water Shield restores mana when you are hit or land a critical heal, and Riptide is a direct heal with a heal over time that strengthens Chain Heal on that target.
