From here on, switch your armor to Mail. Keep Windfury Weapon on a slow two-hander. Drop Searing Totem and Strength of Earth Totem just before a fight and pull with rank 1 Lightning Bolt or Flame Shock. In melee, use Stormstrike and follow with Earth Shock. Shocks share a cooldown, so if you pulled with Flame Shock, wait for it to finish first. When mana runs short, drop the Shocks and keep using Stormstrike.

Solo

• Saving manaPull one enemy at a time, and when mana runs short, stop using Shocks and fight with auto attacks.
• InterruptingInterrupt spellcasting enemies with Earth Shock. It has a 20 yard range.
• HealingUse Lesser Healing Wave in an emergency mid-fight and Healing Wave after the fight. Healing Wave heals more for the same mana.
• Several enemiesUse Fire Nova when enemies gather within 10 yards of your Fire totem. It wastes mana on a single enemy.
• Large groupsIn long fights against several enemies, change your Fire totem to Magma Totem. It only hits enemies within 8 yards and costs a lot of mana.
• Extra enemiesIf more enemies join, drop Stoneclaw Totem. Enemies within 8 yards attack the totem while you kill one first.
• Physical damageAgainst hard hitters, drop Stoneskin Totem to reduce the physical damage you take.
• EscapingTo kite or get away, drop Earthbind Totem. With Earthbound, it roots nearby enemies for 5 sec as soon as you drop it.
• SlowingSlow fleeing or chasing enemies for 8 sec with Frost Shock. It shares a cooldown with your other Shocks.
• Enemy buffsRemove beneficial magic from enemies with Purge.
• Fear and sleepAgainst enemies that use fear, charm or sleep, drop Tremor Totem in advance.
• Poison and diseaseRemove poisons with Cure Poison and diseases with Cure Disease.
• TravelingUse Ghost Wolf between enemies. Improved Ghost Wolf shortens its cast time and lets you use it indoors.
• Moving onBefore moving on, use Totemic Recall to get back 25% of the mana spent on your totems.
• Staying putIf you keep hunting within 30 yards, keep Mana Spring Totem down. It stops working once you move away.
• Blocking spellsAgainst dangerous casters, drop Grounding Totem. The totem takes a harmful spell aimed at you.
• When you dieIf you die, use Reincarnation to get back up on the spot. Check for nearby enemies first.

Party

Deal damage with your two-hander and support the party with totems. Watch your mana and threat on every pull.

• Single targetOnce the tank has the enemy, use Stormstrike and follow with Earth Shock right away. Stop using Shocks when mana is short.
• ThreatIf your threat gets close to the tank's, use Frost Shock instead of Earth Shock.
• InterruptsInterrupt casters with Earth Shock once the tank has them. It causes a lot of threat, so don't use it first.
• Several enemiesUse Fire Nova once the tank has gathered the enemies. Stop if your threat climbs or your mana runs low.
• Party buffsWith melee in the party, use Strength of Earth Totem as your Earth totem.
• Melee party buffWith several melee in the party, use Windfury Totem as your Air totem. You don't benefit from it while Windfury Weapon is on your main hand.
• Totem overlapFlametongue Totem works alongside your Windfury Weapon, but not with Windfury Totem. If Windfury Totem is down, use a different Fire totem.
• Party manaWith spellcasters in the party, use Mana Spring Totem as your Water totem.
• PeelingIf an enemy goes for the healer, drop Stoneclaw Totem within 8 yards so it attacks the totem.
• Fear and sleepAgainst enemies that use fear, charm or sleep, change your Earth totem to Tremor Totem.
• Enemy buffsRemove beneficial magic from enemies with Purge.
• Poison and diseaseIf poison or disease is frequent, change your Water totem to Poison Cleansing Totem or Disease Cleansing Totem. Otherwise use Cure Poison and Cure Disease.
• Blocking spellsAgainst dangerous casters, change your Air totem to Grounding Totem.
• Backup healingHelp out with Lesser Healing Wave if your healer is in trouble.
• ResurrectionAfter the fight, bring fallen party members back with Ancestral Spirit.
