These guides are based on simulation data, tools, and theorycrafting from original Cataclysm. We'll be sure to update them when modern sims are finished. Rotations are likely to get optimized via sims, but it should already give you a very strong starting point.

Introduction

    Unleashed Rage
    to raids. All Shamans have access to some other important raid buffs such as
    Windfury Totem
    for 10% Attack Speed,
    Wrath of Air Totem
    for 5% Spell Haste,
    Strength of Earth Totem
    for Strength and Agility, and of course
    Bloodlust
