Shaman talent trees at level 90
Shaman has 3 specializations: Elemental, Enhancement, Restoration. This build uses Enhancement. Its hero choices are Stormbringer and Totemic. The hero selector changes only the hero branch. Your class and specialization picks stay in place.
Enhancement points and unlocks
| Specialization | Tree | Talents | Points at level 90 | First point | Point gates |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enhancement | Class | 46 | 34 | Level 10 | 8, 23 |
| Enhancement | Enhancement | 37 | 34 | Level 11 | 8, 20 |
| Enhancement | Totemic | 14 | 13 | Level 71 | None |
| Enhancement | Stormbringer | 14 | 13 | Level 71 | None |
Available points are the sum of points earned at or below your chosen level. Each purchased rank costs one point in its own tree. Automatically learned talents cost no points. Points in your class tree cannot pay for talents in Enhancement or either hero branch.
A enhancement leveling example
At level 24, shaman enhancement has8 class points and 7specialization points. Spending 8 class points above the first gate opens its next section, provided you complete the connected talents. Spending those points in Enhancementdoes not open the class gate. Your first Totemic point arrives at level71.
Reaching the deeper enhancement talents
Thorim's Invocation, Static Accumulation, Elemental Assaultrequire 20 points above the last Enhancement gate. Complete the connected path as well. To move points out of that path, refund these deeper talents first. A refund that leaves fewer than 20 points above the gate is blocked while a talent below it remains learned.
Comparing Deeply Rooted Elements and Ascendance
These Enhancement options share an octagonal node with 1 rank. Choose the effect you need, then learn the rank. Replacing one option keeps the same point cost.

Importing, exporting and sharing shaman builds
Paste a shaman loadout into the loadout box and choose Import loadout. It opens the matching specialization, including Elemental, Enhancement, Restoration. For this Enhancement plan, Export loadout includes your class picks, specialization picks and chosen Stormbringer or Totemic branch. Copy build link also keeps your level. Hover or focus a node to read it, click to learn, and right click to refund. On a phone, tap the node and use Learn rank or Remove rank.
Retail uses separate class, specialization and hero point pools. The older talent calculators linked above use three trees that share one pool, so their build strings are not interchangeable. Game updates can change talents and invalidate older loadouts. Check the build and data date before reusing a saved plan.
