Elemental Weapons Elemental Weapons

Shaman · Enhancement · Row 3 of 7 · 3 ranks
Moved position

Elemental Weapons sits in row 3 of the Shaman Enhancement tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 3 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.

What Elemental Weapons does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: Increases the melee attack power bonus of your Rockbiter Weapon by 7%, your Windfury Weapon effect by 13% and increases the damage caused by your Flametongue Weapon and Frostbrand Weapon by 5%.
  2. Rank 2: Increases the melee attack power bonus of your Rockbiter Weapon by 13%, your Windfury Weapon effect by 27% and increases the damage caused by your Flametongue Weapon and Frostbrand Weapon by 10%.
  3. Rank 3: Increases the melee attack power bonus of your Rockbiter Weapon by 20%, your Windfury Weapon effect by 40% and increases the damage caused by your Flametongue Weapon and Frostbrand Weapon by 15%.

How to reach Elemental Weapons

Row 3 opens after you spend 10 points in the earlier Enhancement rows. Level 20 is the earliest you can pick up Elemental Weapons.

Is Elemental Weapons worth the points?

Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
