LEVELING GUIDE

WoW Forever Enhancement Shaman Leveling Guide

Enhancement is the default choice for every shaman's early levels. Spell base damage has been cut hard, but Enhancement's strong auto attacks barely rely on spells, and gives free attack power. Keep upgrading your weapon and keep pulls in check, and you will level without trouble.
