Azeroth Survivors Shaman Build
Shaman’s clear score is close to Paladin’s, but the published difficulty band is Hard. Pick one plan — lightning, wolves, or totems — and ignore the other two. The quoted capstone line is the English string from client 0.112.5. The plan under it is a community reading, not a counted sample of our own runs. Open the gear page and the planner when the capstone is chosen.
B tier · beginner #6 · clear score #7 (116)
Survivability: Low index 135 on that board. Difficulty: Hard index 15. Range: Ranged.
Starter: Lightning Bolt. Lightning Bolt is the starter. Elemental Mastery starts you on Chain Lightning instead.
F spell: Ghost Wolf, 15s. Races: Troll, Orc, Tauren.
Hit points are not printed. Older posts disagree, including Paladin figures of 245 and 160, and this desk will not pick one.
Source: capstone quotes from client 0.112.5 (aac727ed), English string table in wenilla_bg.wasm, read 2026-10-23. Clear score, card order, and clocks remain community. Not a playtest.

Elemental Mastery
Capstone. You start every run with Chain Lightning, and a second Chain Lightning casts itself every 3 sec.
Quoted from the 0.112.5 English string table. A “v” in curly braces is the client’s placeholder. This page does not fill it in. The notes below are still community.
Bounces. More enemies means more jumps.
- Cards: Chain Lightning, haste, area, the no-falloff milestone.
- Talent order: No-falloff jumps, then the capstone, then free recasts.
- Gear and jewelry: Haste and area. Extra targets on a weapon add jumps.
- Zones: Late zones where packs are dense. Weak if you are still clearing tiny early waves.
Feral Spirit
Capstone. Two spirit wolves fight beside you, and their bites carry Windfury: a {v}% chance to strike twice more at once.
Quoted from the 0.112.5 English string table. A “v” in curly braces is the client’s placeholder. This page does not fill it in. The notes below are still community.
A pet route with a melee buff.
- Cards: Wolf cards and pet damage. Skip totem ranks.
- Talent order: Wolves before a second lightning school.
- Gear and jewelry: Pet damage and a health piece. You are not a Warrior.
- Zones: Mid zones if Chain Lightning is not online yet.
Totemic Wrath
Capstone. You start every run with Magma Totem, and a second Searing Totem drops on its own every 14 sec.

Drop totems and kite around them.
- Cards: Magma Totem, Searing Totem, the double-totem milestone.
- Talent order: Double totem, then the capstone.
- Gear and jewelry: Area. Totems do not help if you drag the pack off them.
- Zones: Open zones with room to circle.
Milestones worth the points
- Chain Lightning jumps to three more enemies with no falloff.
- Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning can strike again for free.
- Every few spells are followed by a free Chain Lightning.
- Every totem you set also sets a second one beside it.
Spell book
Per-rank damage is not a single number in the 0.112.5 tooltips we read. Many of them still say “v” in curly braces. The table is the spell’s job, plus the icon when the client record names one. Rank the spell your capstone names, and leave the others.
| Spell | Role | Rank numbers |
|---|---|---|
 Lightning Bolt | Default starter | Not a single value in the 0.112.5 string |
 Chain Lightning | Elemental Mastery opener | Not a single value in the 0.112.5 string |
 Earth Shock | Single-target shock | Not a single value in the 0.112.5 string |
 Frost Shock | Slow | Not a single value in the 0.112.5 string |
 Searing Totem | Totemic Wrath echo | Not a single value in the 0.112.5 string |
 Magma Totem | Totemic Wrath starter | Not a single value in the 0.112.5 string |
Card priority
- Early: One school only, plus Ghost Wolf if you are getting pinned.
- Mid: The milestone that removes falloff, or the double totem. Not both.
- Before the boss: Chain Lightning is pack damage. Keep a shock for the boss.
Bosses and mistakes
Ghost Wolf is a 15-second movement tool. Totems do not move with you.
A little bit of every tree. Shaman’s published plans are mutually exclusive. Do not spread cards across lightning, totems, and wolves in the same run.
What 0.110.0 changed
No Shaman number change is stored for 0.110.0. The survivability label “Low” sits on the same index Hunter calls “Medium”; that mismatch is in the source board. Patch notes.
