Enhancement

Shock Melee

Because the melee damage output is so high, we shaman can basically just run up to stuff and start whacking it without having to cast spells or drop totems – but it helps to get a shock spell in first. I find that attaching an auto-attack to this button comes in quite useful for such occasions, and for PvP too, as it frees your mouse up for running and for selecting enemies.

You can also add this to Flame Shock or Frost Shock.

Easy In…

I used to bind my totem call to the UI for convenience, when my shaman still needed the extra push through damage and spell power. Adding an auto-attack to this meant one button could save me a click on the UI and a right-click on my enemy, but then we’re granted new calls come 40 and 50…

/click MultiCastSummonSpellButton

‘MultiCastSummonSpellButton’ is the complex name for that which sits on the smaller, special action bar just below the chat panel. The function will cast whichever spell sits in that leftmost box, meaning it can cast a Call of Spirits, Elements or Ancestors. Note that if you want to port this ability over to warriors, druids or other classes which use this bar, their buttons have quite different names.

… Easy Out

Sometimes we can forget to refresh those all-important shields between fights, be they Lightning Orbs or a Water Shield. This can be annoying, as the spell knocks another cooldown off the range of spells you want to start killing whatever lays in front of you. In order to make your buttons tidier and more convenient, you can set your Totemic Recall to a convenient spot and have that button re-apply your chosen shield too, meaning it can even be cast while running with the mouse!
