      01 / Overview

      About the Spellhance Shaman build

      Spellhance is the spell-driven version of Enhancement Shaman. It uses the same 19/52/0 talent core as the standard Enhancement build (the point list is the same) and its identity comes from the weapon imbues, the glyphs and the gear: Windfury Weapon, Flame Shock and Lava Lash are its glyphs. Read the Enhancement page for the shared talents, and use this page when you want the glyph set that goes with a spell-heavy play style.
