Talent Builds
The first build is a standard damage build best played in duels or 2v2 arenas with a healer or another powerful burst caster such as a Destruction Warlock or a Frost Mage. It focuses 5 points into Thundering Strikes to offer the maximum amount of critical chance but beware the fact that if you place your Flame Shock properly, it will not affect your Lava Burst but it will empower your other abilities. Elemental Weapons is a must-have in order to improve your Flametongue Weapon alongside Shamanistic Focus which further reduces your mana issues by reducing the costs of shock spells.
The downside of this build (which can be mitigated with high-end gear) is the fact that you do not have any points spent on Elemental Precision so you will not gain the extra hit rating but you will have both points spent on Booming Echoes.
This build is a variation of the first build that has two points in Elemental Precision for additional hit rating. However, it does not have any points spent on Thundering Strikes, resulting in less critical chance. However, where this build shines is through the use of Water Shield, which is empowered by Improved Shields.
This build is more targeted for battlegrounds, spending points in Restoration in order to reach Healing Focus which provides a reduction for pushback effects while also benefiting from the Totemic Focus effect. The idea behind this build is that you will provide less damage but will fit your role as a hybrid by providing “off-healing” for your teammates.
