New Abilities

Water Shield

Learned at Level: 26, five ranks up to level 58

Surrounds you with globes of rejuvenating water. When a spell, melee or ranged attack hits you, mana is restored and one globe is spent.

Earth Shield

Learned at Level: 40, three ranks at 40 / 48 / 60

Surrounds you with globes of protective earth that restore health when you are hit. Only one elemental shield can be active at a time.

Molten Blast

Six ranks, up to level 60

A direct Fire nuke, giving Elemental a Fire-school button to pair with Flame Shock. The Improved Molten Blast talent makes refreshing Flame Shock with it deal extra damage.

Calm Elements

Learned at Level: 52 Cost: 90 mana

Reduces the range at which an Elemental will attack you: the Elemental equivalent of a Druid's Soothe Animal.

Totemic Recall

Cooldown: 6 sec

Returns your totems to the earth and refunds part of the mana used to cast each one.

Race-Specific Spells

A few Shaman abilities are taught only to certain races. On OctoWoW each Shaman race carries its own signature spell, so which one you play shapes part of your kit.

Orc

★ Feral Spirit
Learned at 40, second rank at 60
Summons Spirit Wolves to fight for you. The second rank summons Greater Spirit Wolves.

Tauren

★ Ethereal Form
Take greatly reduced physical damage, but you are unable to cast spells for the duration.

Troll

★ Hex
Learned at 30
Transforms the enemy into a frog, preventing casting and reducing the damage they deal. Works on Beasts, Humanoids and Critters.

Changes to Baseline Spells

★ Lightning Shield
Cheaper at every rank (Rank 7: 370 → 310), and it runs on a duration with globes.

★ Flame Shock
Benefits from your melee Attack Power, so it scales for Enhancement.

★ Stormstrike
The extra attack deals a percentage of weapon damage, and the Nature damage bonus it applies is defined per rank.

★ Lightning Bolt
Costs less mana.

★ Two-Handed Axes and Maces
Baseline: every Shaman has it without spending a talent point.

★ Parry
Baseline for every Shaman, not an Enhancement talent.

Talent Changes

Elemental

★ Earthquake
Row 7, 1 Rank: new capstone (three ranks at 40 / 50 / 60)

Cover all your offensive Fire, Frost and Nature spells.

★ Elemental Mastery
Row 7 → Row 5: reworked
A duration buff increasing your Fire, Frost and Nature damage and reducing your offensive spell costs.

Triggers on a critical strike (from a spell or a melee attack), and then discounts your next two damage spells or abilities.

★ Elemental Devastation
Row 4 → Row 2: reworked
Grants flat spell and melee hit, and your melee crits grant additional spell hit.

★ Elemental Fury
Moved within Row 5, 1 Rank → 2 Ranks
Also increases your Frost, Fire and Nature spell damage outright, not only the critical strike bonus.

No longer the capstone, so you can reach it without going all the way down the tree.

★ Lightning Strike
Row 3, 1 Rank: new, takes Two-Handed Axes and Maces' slot
An instant strike for weapon damage plus Nature damage that also triggers an empowered version of your active shield, consuming charges.

Transfers part of the threat your totems generate onto you, so they stop being killed.

★ Calming Winds
Row 3, 3 Ranks: new

★ Flurry
The number of hasted swings scales with the talent.
