Standard Arena Build
Open in WowheadTalent Notes
Nature's Guardian is ALWAYS played. Its healing effect has a low internal cooldown and can even proc during stuns, passively bolstering our survivability. We don't need Astral Shift since we already have Shamanistic Rage.
Windwalk Totem is played most of the time, especially in 3v3 with another melee. This ensures uptime against slippery targets like Mages, Hunters, and Druids. Earthgrab Totem is playable against double melee in 3v3 if you have an immobile caster like a Warlock on your team.
Call of the Elements is ALWAYS played. This talent is extremely busted, allowing us to reset the cooldown of MOST totems. This means we can Tremor back-to-back, Ground twice in a row, or give our team crazy mobility with Windwalk.
Ancestral Swiftness is ALWAYS played. We're not using this for an instant heal, but instead for an instant Hex or Elemental Blast without needing to rely on Maelstrom stacks.
Ancestral Guidance is played in the vast majority of games to pair with Ascendance. This converts damage into healing for our entire team, allowing us to stay hyper aggressive during burst windows.
Elemental Blast is ALWAYS played. We can use this with Maelstrom stacks for MASSIVE burst - this is one of our hardest hitting abilities.
