The 6 phases WoW Classic cycles through are the following:

  1. Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair
  2. Honor System, World Bosses, Warsong Gulch, and Alterac Valley Battlegrounds
  3. Blackwing Lair and Darkmoon Faire
  4. Zul'Gurub, Arathi Battleground, and Nightmare Dragons
  5. AQ40 and updated Rank 14 rewards

World Buffs

World buffs have at least one hour of duration and are not related to any profession. Generally, these are buffs that you will try to get immediately before doing a raid. As some of them are applied to every nearby player of your faction, it can be a good idea for your realm's guilds to plan dates and times to activate them, so that all guilds can raid immediately after and reap the benefits of the buffs.

Best Consumables for Enhancement Shamans

Maximizing your performance in WoW Classic is all about consumables. There are a lot of them (usually they stack) and using them all can have a bigger impact than a full tier of gear upgrades.

Despite this, getting all of the consumables we will mention in this page is extremely expensive, and as such, we will provide a quick list of the best, cheapest and most reliable consumables first, ordered by the priority you should use and buy them in. Enhancement Shamans can easily struggle with Mana if they are Totem Twisting, therefore using Mana regeneration consumables is very important in this case.

  1. Major Mana Potion Icon Major Mana Potions, Demonic Rune Icon Demonic Runes and Dark Rune Icon Dark Runes (these will ease your Mana concerns);
  2. Nightfin Soup Icon Nightfin Soup (cheap for the amount of Mp5 they grant);
  3. Heavy Runecloth Bandage Icon Heavy Runecloth Bandage (very cheap, can easily save your life in an emergency);
  4. Elixir of the Mongoose Icon Elixir of the Mongoose (very powerful for its cost);
  5. Elixir of Giants Icon Elixir of Giants (weaker than mongoose, but cheaper);
  6. Smoked Desert Dumplings Icon Smoked Desert Dumplings (expensive, but strong);
  7. Greater Fire Protection Potion Icon Greater Fire Protection Potion / Fire Protection Potion Icon Fire Protection Potion for Fire damage bosses;
  8. Greater Nature Protection Potion Icon Greater Nature Protection Potion / Nature Protection Potion Icon Nature Protection Potion for Nature damage bosses;
  9. Greater Shadow Protection Potion Icon Greater Shadow Protection Potion / Shadow Protection Potion Icon Shadow Protection Potion for Shadow damage bosses;
  10. Greater Frost Protection Potion Icon Greater Frost Protection Potion / Frost Protection Potion Icon Frost Protection Potion for Frost damage bosses.

  • Ground Scorpok Assay Icon Ground Scorpok Assay increases your Agility by 25 for 1 hour. While using this item triggers a 1 hour cooldown on similar items (such as R.O.I.D.S. Icon R.O.I.D.S.), you can still stack the different buffs together by logging out, which will make the cooldown go down, but not the duration of the buff on your character.

Health and Mana Recovery Consumables for Enhancement Shamans

Potions all share a cooldown in Classic. You cannot use multiple potions at the same time, and when you use a potion, it will start the cooldown for all potions. That being said, it is still useful to have multiple potions in your bags for different situations. Being in combat does not affect your potion cooldown or availability.

6.3.

Fire Resistance Consumables for Enhancement Shamans

These will mostly be useful during early Molten Core progression, especially on Ragnaros.

6.4.

Nature Resistance Consumables for Enhancement Shamans

These will be useful for tackling the Dragons of Nightmare, certain Zul'Gurub bosses and in the AQ40 raids.

6.5.

Shadow Resistance Consumables for Enhancement Shamans

These will be useful on C'Thun, as the mind flay attacks from small tentacles can easily kill you before heals arrive, especially when in combination with other sources of random damage.

6.6.

Frost Resistance Consumables for Enhancement Shamans

These will be useful for Naxxramas, the final raid of WoW Classic.

6.7.
