Enhancement Combat Rotation and Tactical Priority
Playing Enhancement Shaman effectively in WoW Forever Client 1.60.1 requires disciplined resource conservation and cooldown synchronization:

- Core Strike: Cast Stormstrike on cooldown to inflict physical damage and boost subsequent Nature damage by 20%.
- Shock Weaving: Follow Stormstrike immediately with Earth Shock (for interrupt/burst) or Flame Shock to capitalize on the 20% Nature debuff.
- Mana Conservation: Drop Mana Spring Totem and use Shamanistic Rage to replenish mana based on attack power during long encounters.
