WoW Dragonflight: A Quick Guide On Enhancement Shaman Build - Gears, Talents & Rotation
I’m bringing you an Enhancement Shaman guide for WoW Dragonflight 10.2, the Emerald Dream episode. We’ll start by covering gear, then stats, talents, and last but not least, the rotation. Make sure that you have plenty of WoW Dragonflight Gold, then just dive into this guide.
Gears
To start with gears, we’ll be looking for tier set pieces. The current tier set works as follows: for the 2-piece set bonus, every time we cast Primordial Wave, we summon one Fiery Spirit to help us with damage. For the 4-piece set bonus, every time we summon a Fiery Spirit, it reduces our Primordial Wave cooldown by 7 seconds. Doing the math, we can reduce our Primordial Wave cooldown to a total of 21 seconds. This enhances our rotation, increases damage, and makes it more fluid.
Talents
Then let's talk about talents. Talents are crucial in playing Enhancement Shaman in WoW Dragonflight, and I highly suggest that you get all of them:
Improved Raging and Overflowing Maelstrom: Makes our spenders hit harder, and allows us to store up to 10 stacks of Maelstrom Weapon.
Hailstorm: Enhances Frost Shock damage based on Maelstrom Weapon stacks consumed.
Ice Strike: Generates one stack of Maelstrom Weapon and makes our next Frost Shock hit 100% harder.
Molten Assault: Enables spreading Flame Shock dots to nearby enemies.
Hot Hands: Buff with 40% extra damage and 75% reduced cooldown time on Lava Lash.
Ashen Catalyst: Increases Lava Lash damage and reduces its cooldown based on Flame Shock ticks.
Lashing Flames: A 20-second debuff that increases Flame Shock damage on the target.
Witch Doctor’s Ancestry: reduces the cooldown of Feral Spirit for each Maelstrom Weapon stack generated.
Primal Maelstrom: makes each cast of Primordial Wave generate 10 stacks of Maelstrom Weapon immediately.
Splintered Elements: Buffs Primordial Wave to grant a haste buff for our next Lightning Bolt cast, scaling with the number of extra Lightning Bolts generated by each enemy affected by Flame Shock.
Rotation
At last is the rotation. The rotation starts with Primordial Wave and Wolves. Then, proceed to spread Flame Shock to at least 5 enemies, followed by casting Lightning Bolt for the Splintered Elements buff. With a 10-stack buff for Hailstorm, our next Frost Shock hits harder and affects more enemies. Continue with Ice Strike to enhance Frost Shock damage, then cast Frost Shock. Build Maelstrom Weapon stacks with Crash Lightning for its buff, making builders hit multiple targets. two
When reaching 8 to 10 stacks, spend on Chain Lightning due to the number of enemies and no priority. The rotation is open-ended beyond this point, and attention should be given to the priority list.
For a single-target rotation, Elemental Blast is used when sitting on 2 charges or when offensive abilities are active. Otherwise, spend on Lightning Bolt. Prioritize Storm Strike over Crash Lightning in one-mob encounters like bosses, as it deals with more damage. In encounters with a priority target, use Crash Lightning to buff uptime and spend single-target abilities on the priority target.

WOW Dragonflight: How About ...
This is a quick guide to the new mounts that you may expect to see in the upcoming patch 10.2.5 in WoW Dragonflight. By the end, you’ll have a good idea of where to get most of these mounts, or at least you’ll know what’s coming. Trading Post Mounts Let’s start with some Trading Post mounts. The reign of the Majestic Azure Peafowl looks like it’s going to be the capstone that you get when completing the Traveler’s Log. The Savage Blue Battle Turtle is a recolor of an old mount, pretty self-explanatory there. The reigns of the Fur-Endship Fox is very odd to pronounce. Anyway, it’s a fox skin with a special holiday flare, and safe to say that this will show up on the February Trading Post. The Noble Flying Carpet drops off of Daeton Swiftplume. Save gas, this is a good old-fashioned drop from a rare mob, although the location is unknown. The Heartseeker Mana Ray is a manor recolor that you can use your WoW Dragonflight Gold to buy it in the Love is in the Air Event when that's available. You're going to need Love Tokens earned from completing daily quest content while the event is active. But my favorite way to do it, at least last year, was to pick up the Lovely Charm Kit and destroy the outdoor version of Brackenheight Hollow, get the items that you need to perform multiple turn-ins for Love Tokens, buy the mount. The Compass Rose will be earned during the Hearthstone 10th-anniversary period, which should be in March. We’ll just find out more details soon. Also coming is the Fiery Hearthseed, which should be pretty familiar if you think back 10 years ago to the original Hearthsteed. It just happens to be showing up hero. Azerothian Archives Event The new Azerothian Archives event is coming in 10.2.4, and of course, it includes a few mounts. The Clayscale Hornstriders is listed as a drop, so I’m going to take a guess and say that as long as you keep participating in the event, which involves cracking open a bunch of loot boxes, you’ll eventually get this mount. Also on the vendor, we have the Explorer's Stonehide Packbeast. If the model here is of any indication, this thing is really big, like Brutosaur kind of big. It’s also very expensive to get, so expect to spend a lot of time over here in the Azer span completing this event to eventually get this mount and maybe the Hornstrider too. Finally, there are some additional recolors coming in this patch, including the Twilight Sky Prowler, the Brilliant Sunburst Peafowl, the Star Twilight Peafowl, and the Soaring Skyfox. As of right now, they don’t have sources. It’s kind of interesting though that these are recolors, and I should point out many items were recently added to a Black Market vendor that you can buy for gold until they go on the proper Black Market auction house later this year. In this case, these are recolors of what’s currently being posted on the Trading Post. So the idea of mount recolors might take a fresh approach. Like these could also be added at the same time as others in the Black Market Auction House, adding a gold sink and just more of everything to get from additional sources. This is all speculation though. It’s just kind of cool seeing more opportunities for cool stuff by doing a variety of activities. Those are the 12 mounts that we know of coming into this upcoming patch. Now there’s definitely one more in the form of the Lunar New Year mount, and there’s no telling if that’s going to be a brand new mount.Jan-03-2024

WOW Dragonflight: 5 Simple ...
I’ll be showing you 5 ways to easily make enough gold for a WoW Token, so that you do not have to pay money. If you can relate to struggling to pay for a WoW Token each month, or if you’re just looking for some easy income while you play the game. If you’re not too much of a gold farmer, let me give you 5 tips on how you can easily afford your WoW Token every single month. 5. Miscellaneous Items The first thing I want to highlight in this guide are a couple of miscellaneous items that sell for quite a bit. I’ll be highlighting the Big Red Raygun Toy, which you can find on the Alcaz Island in Dustwallow Marsh. It may also help to turn on War Mode so that there is less competition here, because sometimes people camp it. But basically, as I’ve shown there, you’ll get dismounted when coming near. So just make sure you have a Slow Fall or Glide if you’re a Demon Hunter or anything like that. Then just come on over and kill a little guard, then talk with Doctor Weevil. Now, he can drop the Big Red Raygun toy. Basically, end him and then loot, and you have a 3% chance at the toy. Next up on the list, we have the Hosen Peace Pipe. This is a miscellaneous item dropped by one mob, a rare spawn named Scritch. Just come on over here in Kun-Lai Summit, and he spawns in any of these little caves. He has about a 10% chance to drop the Hosen Peace Pipe, and that is worth about 10 to 20K, and it sells quite quickly. So make sure to give this one a try as well. 4. Vendor Flips Next on the list, we have a couple of vendor flips. Now, this one is the Frozen Orb vendor flip in the Northrend Dalaran. Just talk to the vendor, buy these Frozen Orbs, or check the auction house if they might be cheaper. Then, fly on over to this side over here. We’ll be talking to a vendor who basically gives you the chance to exchange one Frozen Orb for any of the Eternal materials. Now, just make sure to check the auction house, but this could be an absolute gold mine, and it’s literally infinite, which is why I love these vendor flips. So make sure to check this out as well. And I thought I’d mention this one as well in Pandaria. Same kind of thing, basically. You’ll bring Spirits of Harmony and exchange them for Pandaren materials. The main ones that you’ll be after in terms of profit will most likely be the Trillium Ore, which will be on the second page. That’s usually the best. But the Ghost Iron Ore or the Prismatic Scales can also be really nice. You can do this as many times as you like. So check your auction house. 3. Battle Pets At number 3, we have any sort of battle pets farming. Now, the one in the background is my absolute favorite to farm for battle pets. At the farm in particular, we are in the very top of Feralas in Kalimdor, and we are farming for the Emerald Whelpling as well as the Sprite Darter Hatchling. I will skin these mobs, and that is because they can give the Green Whelp Scales. Now, this is a pretty rare material because it only comes from a few mobs, this being one of them. So make sure to definitely have a skinner over here, and this will really increase the WoW Dragonflight Gold per hour. There are tons of different battle pet farms, such as various raids. You have things like all the other Whelplings like the Azure Whelpling, Bronze Whelpling, Dark Whelpling, Crimson Whelpling, and you also have the Firefly. 2. Transmog At number 2, we have transmog. The reason I’m only putting this at number 2 is because for the average person, making a WoW token per month can seem a little difficult. I don’t believe that transmog is the best route for a new player, just wanting to afford their token each month. I think that transmog farming is better for someone who is a kind of all-in with gold making, and that is their main enjoyable thing to do in WoW. Because you need to put in a lot of hours to build up your transmog auction house, you need over a thousand pieces of transmog in order to get very good sales. But for the average person making a WoW token a month, I don’t believe it’s the best just because of how much time you have to play, specifically farming for transmog, and that may not be some people’s cup of tea. But if you put the time in, transmog is definitely super rewarding. 1. Gathering Coming in at number 1, which should not be too much of a surprise to most of you out there, is gathering. Now, by gathering, I mean primarily Mining and Herbalism, but you could exchange Herbalism for Skinning. I always believe that Mining is the best, especially for old World content. So basically, you have to put in maybe like 7 to 10 hours a month of gathering alone, and you should easily have enough gold for your WoW Token. We have things like the Vashj'ir farm for Obsidian and the Azshara's Veil. Then we also have Wintergrasp for Titanium Ore, and we also have the Whiptail farm in Uldum, Storm Silver Ore in Kul Tiras. There are tons of great gathering farms with variety, and with the amount of time per month that you have to put in to make enough for a WoW Token. I highly believe it is the most efficient use of your time. So that wraps it up for my top 5 tips for making enough gold for a WoW Token each month. If you implement some of these tips, or even if you just do one or 2 of them, you shouldn’t have too much of a problem earning enough for your WoW.Jan-10-2024

WOW Dragonflight: A New Act ...
I’ve got a quick guide for everything you need to know about follower dungeons coming WoW Dragonflight 10.2.5. In patch 10.2.4, if you haven’t heard, Follower Dungeons are normal Dragonflight dungeons where you can queue for any role you want and have four other NPC companions help you throughout the dungeon and guide you through them. From everything I’ve seen and tested, it’s a fantastic addition to WoW, especially for new players, and really does a great job teaching you the new dungeons. You’d play one of your characters, and the others would turn into the NPCs. It would be great for gearing all of your fresh alts at the same time. I’d also like to be able to do this with heroic dungeons and maybe Mythic 0s for gearing. That would be fantastic. Let’s get into the guide. Prepare for enough WoW Dragonflight Gold if you want to do this more easily. How To Start To start a follower dungeon and loot into the guide, to queue for a follower dungeon or to get into one, you just have to open your group finder. On the bottom right of your screen, there’s a little eye icon. If you’re using the default UI, or it’s usually key-bound to 'I' as well. You open the group finder here, the same place as if you’ve done Heroic Dungeons, Time Walking Dungeons. On the left, you’ll see Dungeon Finder and Raid Finder. It’ll be under Dungeon Finder, and there’ll be a new little section called Follower Dungeons. Then you can select whatever role you want—Tank, Healer, or DPS—and then you can select whatever dungeon you want to do. You can select all of them if you’d like. Then you find a group. It doesn’t really matter what role you pick. It’s a really fast queue, only takes a few seconds to pop up, and for you to enter. You can also leave the queue with no penalty, and you can do that over and over again, which is really nice. As for loot for these dungeons, they drop at a normal level on all the Dragonflight dungeons. So it’s at Level 421 gear, an Explorer gear. But this is honestly a really great way to gear fresh Level 70s or alts really quickly on your own in your own free time, which is pretty fantastic. If you don’t have a group for Mythic 0s or jumping into mythics or anything like that, or you’re not geared enough to do raid finder, this will get your raid finder ready. If you do these, upgrade them into a couple of pieces here and there, you can jump into a raid finder for the newest raid. Dungeon Assistance Tool Once you get into a dungeon, they’re very straightforward, so not too difficult to navigate through. But if you’re new to the game or the dungeons themselves, Blizzard has added a new dungeon assistance tool that you can toggle on or off. If you turn this on, someone in your group can take charge and guide you through the dungeon. Even if you’re not the tank, if you’ve queued as the tank, DPS will tell you where to go and even start the pulls for you. If you’ve queued as a DPS or Healer, the tank will be the one to guide you throughout. They do a good job with pulling and pathing from what I’ve seen and will even mount up if you need to go a pretty far direction. Although they will sometimes stand there for a few seconds, and then remount randomly and go in a different direction. I think you just give them a second, and then they’ll refocus or go in the right direction. They also pull very small, typically, which isn’t a bad thing if you’re new or learning. Even if you have the assistance tool off and you’re not the tank, the tank will grab aggro from whatever you pulled. Tips On Follower Dungeons There’s more information about the Follower Dungeons. There is no timer in these dungeons, so you can stop at any point if you need to do something and come back when you can. Your followers will also talk throughout the dungeons. They'll even give you little tips to deal with certain mechanics or what you need to do to get to a different section. Like in Algeth'ar Academy, for instance, your follower NPCs will tell you to use the wind to jump across the platforms to go to the next section. For DPS and Healer, it’s pretty good. Honestly, it’s by no means great or insane, but you blow through the mobs pretty quick in terms of DPS. And even if you pull crazy like an insane amount, your healing companion does a great job keeping everyone alive. Honestly, no complaints in that area. As for interrupting and mechanics, the followers do a pretty good job with mechanics, even better than me at some points, which is pretty funny and embarrassing. But they interrupt sometimes. It’s by no means often, and it’s not a priority to them at all. The dungeons are pretty easy. But just wanted to let you know if they do plan on increasing the difficulty, like adding this into Heroic Dungeons or maybe Mythic zeros, then I’m assuming that part of that, maybe even DPS, would increase as well. If you’ve done Brackenhide Hollow before, there are little cages you have to open up. You have to open up a few of them to get to the next boss. They won’t do that for you at all. You have to be the one that does the objectives physically, do the objectives. So you’ll have to be the one that interacts and opens the cages. The same goes for any other similar objectives in any of the dungeons. It’s possible that this might change in the future, but I doubt it, since I think the goal of these follower dungeons is to learn the dungeons themselves, to learn about the objectives. So you can probably go out and do Mythic+ in the future, Mythic 0s, Heroic or something. That’s basically everything you need to know about follower dungeons, a pretty straightforward and easy new activity to do.Jan-14-2024

WOW Dragonflight: How To Ea ...
I will give you an ultimate Guardian Druid Mage Tower guide in WoW Dragonflight. You’re about to tackle the Highlord's return, where your mission is to defeat 2 bosses: Inquisitor Variss and Highlord Kruul. This battle is no walk in the park, as it’s split into 2 challenging phases. First, you’ll face Variss and his pesky minions. After taking him down, you’ll square off against the final boss, Highlord Kruul. Prepare for enough WOW Dragonflight Gold if you get into trouble in the boss fight. The real trick in this challenge is to stay on the platform while battling these tough bosses and their underlings. Don’t worry. you’re not alone. You’ve got allies like Velen and Kor'vas Bloodthorn. Velen's Holy Ward, which pops up every 30 seconds, is a total game-changer. It fully heals you, clears debuffs, and stuns enemies for 5 seconds. Kor'vas mainly deals damage, and in this intense battle, every little bit helps. It’s crucial to keep both NPCs alive to avoid having to start over. This challenge ranks among the game's toughest. You need to constantly watch your debuffs, move skillfully, and strike hard. Inquisitor Variss Phase 1 begins as soon as you step onto the platform. Your main objective is to defeat Inquisitor Variss and his summoned mobs. Be alert for his Aura of Decay, Drain Life, and Mind Rend. It’s critical to keep Aura of Decay stacks under 5 and interrupt Drain Life quickly, or he'll recover his health. You’ll also encounter the Tormenting Eye, Smoldering Infernal, and Nether Horror. The Tormenting Eye's Inquisitive Stare can knock you off the platform, so face it when it casts. Use Moonfire against it, as it’s immune to physical damage. The Smoldering Infernal's Smash attack can also throw you off, but it inflicts damage on itself with the Fel Resonation debuff, so focus on dodging its primary attack. Nether Horrors will go after Velen, but they’re weak and can be easily eliminated. Try using Holy Ward to interrupt Drain Life if needed. Don't waste your interrupts on Mind Rend. Always protect Velen. Deal with the smaller mobs before refocusing on Variss. With some practice, you’ll find Phase 1 becoming easier as you improve in dodging and managing debuffs. Highlord Kruul After Variss, you'll face Highlord Kruul. The Tormenting Eye won't appear anymore, but the other mobs will continue to challenge you. Kruul has 3 main abilities: Annihilate, Nether Stomp, and Twisted Reflection, with the latter requiring a quick interrupt since it significantly heals Cruel. Use Holy Ward to reset the stacks of Annihilate and minimize heavy damage. Keep the Nether Horrors away from Velen. Avoid Nether Stomp to ensure you stay on the platform. Although challenging, it’s unlikely that the Guardian Druid Mage Tower will be nerfed. Some classes and specializations might find it a bit more manageable. Conquer this challenge, and you'll earn a stylish transmog set for Guardian Druids. The highlight is the Fel WearBear Druid form, a symbol of your victory over one of the game's most demanding challenges. Completing all 7 Mage Tower encounters rewards you with the Soaring Spelltome mount, a rare and prestigious achievement. If you’re eager to unlock these rewards faster, check out our Timewalking and Mage Tower boost. Let our experienced pros handle the challenge for you while you kick back and enjoy the loot.Jan-15-2024
