Enhancement Shaman leveling guide

TBC AnniversaryLevel 60-70Melee DPS

Enhancement is the recommended way to level a Shaman from 60 to 70. You fight with two weapons, Stormstrike and Unleashed Rage add damage for you and your group, and Shamanistic Rage returns mana with every hit. Water Shield at level 62 keeps your mana up between fights, so downtime is very low. In TBC Anniversary Draenei can be Shamans too, so the spec is open to both factions.

Strengths and weaknesses

  • Strong melee damage with Windfury Weapon, Flurry and Stormstrike.
  • Water Shield and Shamanistic Rage make it the most mana-efficient Shaman spec.
  • Mail armor, your own heals and Shamanistic Rage make you hard to kill.
  • Needs two good one-handed weapons, and weak weapons slow you down.
