Enhancement Shaman leveling build (level 40)

This is a deep Enhancement leveling setup: Thundering Strikes and Flurry keep your swing speed high, Mental Dexterity turns Intellect on gear into Attack Power, and Mental Quickness adds useful spell/heal power from the same stat. Shamanistic Focus makes Shock usage affordable, Improved Ghost Wolf gives instant indoor travel and escape, Stormstrike drives your melee burst, Improved Stormstrike adds in-combat mana sustain, and 4/5 Maelstrom Weapon lets you weave cheaper, faster Lightning Bolts before taking Rage of the Farseer as your elite/tough-pull cooldown.

The gear favors mail, stamina, strength/AP, crit, and mana sustain. Rage of the Storm is chosen over the higher-DPS statless axe because its Strength, Stamina, slow speed, and Stormstrike bonus are ideal for solo Enhancement. Scoutmaster’s Eyepatch, Clacking Carapace Spaulders, Corpsefeeder’s Shedding, and other unknown-source pieces should be treated as world-obtainable upgrades. Crafted Golden Scale Cuirass, Dragonscale Gauntlets, Skirmisher’s Mail Boots, and Polished Driftwood Icon are practical profession targets. Darkspear Voodoo Seal and Defiler’s Talisman are excellent solo trinkets: mp5 reduces drinking, while the absorb gives a panic button.

Play by keeping Water Shield and Frostbrand Weapon active. Pull with Flame Shock or a Lightning Bolt if you have room, then melee with Stormstrike on cooldown. Use Earth Shock as your main instant spender, especially after Stormstrike, and cast Lightning Bolt when Maelstrom has made it cheap/fast or when mana is comfortable. Against three or more enemies, use Molten Blast and Chain Lightning carefully; they are strong but expensive. For dangerous mobs, open with Rage of the Farseer. If health drops, use Ancestral Guidance, then Nature’s Swiftness into Healing Wave.
