Enhancement Shaman leveling guide
Enhancement is the Shaman who fights up close with two weapons. 
Windfury Weapon and 
Flametongue Weapon add extra hits, 
Stormstrike and 
Lava Lash hit hard, and 
Maelstrom Weapon turns your melee hits into an instant 
Lightning Bolt or 
Healing Wave. 
Feral Spirit calls two wolves that fight and heal you, and 
Shamanistic Rage takes care of your mana.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Very steady damage, with instant Lightning Bolts from Maelstrom Weapon.
- Maelstrom Weapon also gives instant heals, so you rarely need to stop.
- Shamanistic Rage and Feral Spirit make tough fights much easier.
- Groups of enemies are harder than for Elemental, and you need two good one-handed weapons.
