Fire Elemental Totem

The Fire elemental puts out impressive amounts of damage for the 15-20 seconds it takes for it to blow its mana bar away. It can only deal fire damage, and does so through several abilities; Melee, a Fire Shield acting like the infernals AE fire damage, Fire Nova (AE) and Fire Blast (ranged fire nuke). The elemental summoning totems act as an anchor for the elementals. They can’t go too far away from their totem, although the radius they will move to assist you in is pretty big. They have no pet bar.The totems themselves have a fair bit of HP, around 3000.

Earth Elemental Totem

The earth elemental summoned by this totem has one main purpose, and that is to act as a damage sponge. It does poor damage, but has a great AE taunt. It doesn’t have a very high amount of health though, about 4-5k. As with the fire elemental, it is leashed to its totem.

Wrath of Air Totem

This, coupled with bloodlust/heroism and the Wrath totem (If you spec into it) provides shamans with some really nice ways to boost caster damage.

Bloodlust / Heroism

This spell is exactly the same for horde and alliance paladins, apart from the name. Think of using this in an arena.. or in a 5man, when you’re having trouble taking down a boss.. It’s a shame the cooldown is so long though.

Water Shield

Many enhancement specced shammies really like this one for soloing, but it serves as a nice little mana booster for 5 mans and raids where you’re going to be taking ae damage as well.
