These builds path through both the Granizada and Latigazo de lava packages, focusing on either Llamas lacerantes or the Granizada combo for AoE. It has powerful cleave that costs very little single target, strong funnel tools in Catalizador cinéreo and Elementos astillados, and explosive burst with Oleada primigenia.

Guía ancestral, alongside all of our control tools are considered "always picked" - those being Tormenta de truenos (+ Choque de truenos), Tótem capacitador and Corte de viento. Hendimiento however is more build specific, as it sometimes comes at the cost of damage. Edge case tools such as Tótem de tremor or Limpiar espíritu aren't always worth taking, but are included in all of the above lists for dungeons that involve these effects. A section below will be added over the course of the season to explain each thing to look out for.

Below are individual, detailed tips for dealing with pain points in each dungeon in the Season 3 pool, alongside specific utility recommendations to get the most out of the spec. The entire utility suite isn't always included in the recommended build, but edge cases as options are explained in the respective sections.

Enhancement Shaman Dungeon Tips

DotI: Galakrond's Fall

spell=378075	spell=370	spell=383017

There are a lot of priority targets worth funneling into throughout this dungeon that have higher offset health than the pack around it. Consider prioritizing Destripador de Época, Tiempo fusionado, Anomalía de la línea temporal and Dragón resucitado in any pulls these are present both because of their high health pools and because of how dangerous their abilities are.
Purgar should be taken to interrupt the cast of Tempotajo from Cercenatiempo del Infinito, and the shield generated from Enervar cast by Parásito de la línea temporal if interrupted too late.
Tormenta de truenos, Hendimiento and Tótem capacitador will also interrupt these casts to bypass the interrupt immunity if multiple channel at once.

Zarpas atronadoras and Camino de espíritu both dispel and cancel the cast of Cronofusión from Cronomante del Infinito if used.
Camino de espíritu is needed to remove Necroescarcha on Añublo de Galakrond.
Tótem Piel de piedra is mostly useful due to the high tank damage from Dragón resucitado when it gains stacks, and can also reduce the instant tick damage from Ruptura temporal cast by Destripador de Época. It also reduces the Bleed damage from any Descarga de piedra casts that go through from Creación de Iridikron.
Tótem de Carga de viento is useful to get back to the soak following the Destrozo de eón leap on Chronikar, and to help the group adjust around the Manifested Timeways platform during Fragmentos de tiempo.
Cambio astral has specific uses where it's extremely valuable to use for certain abilities on each boss:

If targeted by Cronoborrado on Manifested Timeways, especially if you're holding the debuff instead of getting dispelled first. Make sure to stand still in the fast zone as yours is timing out second to avoid getting hit!
If targeted by Expulsión corrosiva on Añublo de Galakrond to reduce the impact, or if you have it transferred to you mid fight.
If targeted by Explosión de extinción on Iridikron - use it just as the cast completes to reduce its damage and overlap the DoT and Tromba partepiedras group soak that follows it.

Guía ancestral can be used throughout as there's some extremely high group damage, especially in the second boss area. It's also extremely useful to stabilize during Dragón resucitado pulls as there's a lot of adds to leverage. It should also be used during the Terraluvión shield on Iridikron for some extra smarthealing to cover the group damage.

DotI: Murozond's Rise

spell=378075	spell=370	spell=383017

On the first platform before Tyr, the three minibosses (Valow, vigilante vetusto, Lerai, doncella vetusta and Spurlok, centinela vetusta) all have enemies around them - use these to funnel on the much higher health named enemies rather than focusing on AoE.
When funneling these, make sure to still focus target Magus Crepuscular del Infinito to interrupt Salva corrosiva with Corte de viento (or Tormenta de truenos if multiple cast at once).

Choque de llamas spread and Estallido de relámpagos work on inactive NPCs during the Time-lost Battlefield encounter. Use this to your advantage for extra funnel and Elementos astillados Haste, alongside bringing them lower before they're activated by ¡POR LA ALIANZA!.
Purgar should be taken to remove the Ayuda del milenio buff applied to enemies by Moldeatiempo del Infinito.
Tótem Piel de piedra is mostly for tank damage, especially if doing larger pulls where Tajo desgarrador from Vanguardia de Tyr can stack high. Also useful on Time-lost Battlefield to reduce the impact of Golpes mortales.
Zarpas atronadoras and Camino de espíritu can both remove the debuff from Quemadura infinita cast by Maga de falla infinita.

Both of these are also mandatory tools if targeted by Filotormenta during Time-lost Battlefield where short bursts of speed are needed.

Tótem de Carga de viento is useful on all 4 encounters:

Tyr - During Succionar piedra de juramento to collect the orbs.
Time-lost Battlefield - Helping the player targeted by Filotormenta.
Mocri - Both kiting the Rostros familiares adds, and moving to the correct mirror during ¡Más problemas!
Cronolord Deios - During the group move when Corrupción de los Infinitos is cast.

Similarly, Cambio astral has some specific dangerous things at some points that need some defensives to counter:

Tyr - Golpe divisorio, especially if you're also still holding a Chispa de Tyr debuff. Remember to stand on the edge and still soak when doing this to avoid hitting your group.
Time-lost Battlefield - if ever targeted by Flechas dentadas, or if the boss gets high stacks of Battle Senses.
On packs that contain Maleante temporal paired with an Vigía infinita / Destripador Infinito, use it when Cisma del Infinito overlaps with Furia infinita. This is due to the Healer potentially being forced to move during the very high group damage caused by each spell during said overlap. Also consider Guía ancestral at this point as well.

Waycrest Manor

spell=51886	spell=260878	spell=370	spell=383017

Almost every pull in here has a target that's more dangerous than everything else, and in most cases have offset health as well. In these packs your job is to funnel into these and kill them as a priority. These include Witches (Hechizaalmas Aterracorazón / Tejerruna Aterracorazón), Urdespina del aquelarre and Engullidor pálido.
This also extends to the mini-bosses with much higher health in Matriarca Bryndle and Matriarca Alma, although they aren't that dangerous by themselves.

Quick damage tips for bosses are:

Goliat de almas - We're really good at priority damage on Espinas de alma, but unfortunately the shapeshift tech has been fixed. As we have no way to use defensives while stunned, in some cases it's worth pre-casting Cambio astral. If you're worried about their kill time, you can sit on Oleada primigenia to burn them down quickly.
Raal el Glotón - Choque de llamas and Oleada primigenia the Sirviente debilitado spawns, but don't focus them. Use Oleada primigenia to deal damage from ranged while hitting the boss.
Lady Waycrest - You can still keep Choque de llamas active on Lady Waycrest in phase 1 for some extra Catalizador cinéreo and Elementos astillados activations, which are still worth it despite the reduced damage taken.
Gorak Tul - Try to plan your Oleada primigenia spends after Esclavista toquemuerte spawns for extra value, these should align quite well with the T31 4-piece.

You're able to solo interrupt the Salva ruinosa from Matriarca Alma. You can also interrupt Conmoción atroz from Lady Waycrest during phase one with Corte de viento if you stand right by the edge of the platform.
Espíritu de lobo is taken here for Goliat de almas. While the shapeshift tech is fixed, being in Lobo fantasmal for the 20% damage reduction if targeted by Espinas de alma is really helpful to give your group some breathing room to kill them.
Limpiar espíritu is useful throughout - Señal rúnica from Tejerruna Aterracorazón, Marca pérfida from Matriarca Alma, and finally Señal rúnica inestable on Heartsbane Triad. Try to dispel yourself so you can move freely without worrying about overlapping with other melee players.
Purgar is worth taking just in case Defensa vivaz goes through from Capitán aojado so you can still deal damage to your priority target.
Tótem Piel de piedra is both for tank damage and for some specific areas in the dungeon:

Heartsbane Triad - helps dealing with the impact damage and followup Bleed on targets from Ortigas dentadas.
Goliat de almas - reduces the damage from Espinas de alma while breaking allies out. Also helps the tank if they're going to high stacks.
Reduces both the impact damage and follow-up Bleed from Pallid Gorgers' Salto devastador.

Tótem de Carga de viento is useful for the triple dodge of Ablandar on Raal el Glotón. Also helpful for dodging the Cadencia discordante waves on Lady Waycrest.

Atal'Dazar

spell=51886

spell=370

spell=8143

spell=383017

There's a lot of different popular routes in Atal'Dazar, but regardless you will always have some high priority, offset HP targets in some pulls. Pulls without these also rely on even DPS to bring them down together, so knowing when to shift is important. If the pack contains a Coloso Dazar'ai, Guardia de honor reanimado or Vociferador de cielos hambriento use these as priority anchor targets.
Some quick boss tips are:
Rezan - make sure to have Tótem de tremor here so you can maintain uptime on every other Rostro aterrador. Still stay active casting if you're fixated by Perseguir once you get out of range, and use Tótem Piel de piedra to assist the tank with Dientes serrados.
Vol'kaal - aim to apply Choque de llamas to all 3 Reanimation Totems so you can make use of Oleada primigenia. Also use it as the final ability to burn them so they're killed evenly.
Sacerdotisa Alun'za - if you aren't CCing them, aim to have Oleada primigenia for every Espíritu de oro spawn to burn them down quickly and gain extra value.
Yazma - Desgarre de alma triggers every 40~ seconds, making Hendimiento a great stop and burst damage if taken. Oleada primigenia is also extremely good (paired with Guía ancestral if your group is struggling), but you need to massage the cooldown timer a bit with Espíritu feral to have it up consistently, or just sacrifice some boss damage uses. Use Cambio astral if targeted by Dolor atroz, especially if the debuff overlaps with Desgarre de alma.

Wait for both Portaescudos de Zul to cast Baluarte juju if multiple are present before using AoE stops. Tótem capacitador needs some pre-planning, while Hendimiento will stop these (and avoid DRs!). Tormenta de truenos does not stop this from casting.
With some good timing when you see a cast, you can cast Tormenta de truenos during the Asalto despiadado charge from Gigante Dazar'ai to protect your ranged baiting. This also applies to groups of Sáurido tóxico groups casting Salto vapuleador.
You can (and should) solo interrupt Fuerza jurásica from Dinomántica Kish'o in the central pack with Corte de viento.
Limpiar espíritu is optional, but can be helpful if casts of Maleficio inestable go off from a Médica bruja Zanchuli, just let them get out of the group before dispelling.
Purgar is taken to remove Garras doradas from Sacerdotisa Alun'za, or to remove Almas reunidas from Coloso Dazar'ai after other enemies die nearby.
Tótem de tremor can be used on every other Rostro aterrador on Rezan, and can also be used if your group is getting overwhelmed by Vociferador de cielos hambriento pulls and you think a Chirrido aterrorizador may go off.
Tótem Piel de piedra is useful for the tank on Rezan to reduce the damage of the Dientes serrados Bleed, and also if doing the middle pack to help the group survive Paliza salvaje from Monzumi.

Darkheart Thicket

spell=383013

spell=51886

spell=8143

spell=383017

A lot of very popular pulls within Arboleda Corazón Oscuro involve some extremely dangerous priority mobs that we are especially good at focusing down. While there's often a lot of trash pulled with them, it's more beneficial to focus these while cleaving from them in the first pull with Oso pardo con piel supurante, and all pulls containing a Vigilante Corazón Infecto.
Some quick individual boss tips for damage are:
Archidruida Glaidalis - You're able to get one Oleada primigenia off on the pull, but every cast after save the follow up Descarga de relámpagos for each Ocaso cast. Spread or manually apply Choque de llamas to keep the Abominación de la Pesadilla waves in check.
Corazón de Roble - if you spread directly from the Raíces estranguladoras, Choque de llamas will spread to even inactive roots, allowing you to use Oleada primigenia to gain some extra cleave, and Cadena de relámpagos will always bounce to them even when inactive. You can also step into a root and clear it to become "active" with Camino de espíritu.
Dresaron - While funnel looks appealing here by triggering Hatespawn Whelplings, spread from the boss is a very short range and hard to get them underneath to use it. Latigazo de lava also does too much damage to them to spread from the adds, making it difficult to get the payoff, so don't overthink it.

Tótem de Carga de viento is useful for countering the pushback from Corriente inferior on Corazón de Roble to keep uptime. Guía ancestral is also good to use here to help out the healer as the group damage can get overwhelming.
Tótem de limpieza contraveneno is used in the first trash section to remove the Toxina de la Pesadilla cast by Envenenador Almaespanto and the second trash area to remove Lanza venenosa from Dríade Corazón infecto, especially as multiple spears can get thrown out and cleared with one totem in larger pulls.
Limpiar espíritu is optional, but can be useful if any casts of Maldición de aislamiento get off from a Invocador Corazón Ruin in the final trash area. This is somewhat likely to happen as Inferno aterrador is a much higher priority interrupt.
Tótem de tremor is extremely helpful if you're pulling a large number of Nightmare Dwellers and you run out of stops, as it counters the follow-up Ojo atormentador fear. It also counters the Paranoia inducida if someone is caught out of position on Sombra de Xavius.

We're also extremely good for layering CC to handle the pull of all 5 here. Cycle and co-ordinate Tótem capacitador, Tormenta de truenos (and Hendimiento if taken) then follow up with Tótem de tremor to keep things under control for as long as possible.

Tótem Piel de piedra is useful for the large number of Bleeds especially in the first area with Frenzied Nightclaws' Destripe frenético and the Salto doloroso from Archidruida Glaidalis.

Black Rook Hold

spell=260878

spell=383017

Black Rook Hold is filled with high health offset priority targets in almost every pull, so generally use these as anchor targets unless you need to kill something dangerous to help the group. Ones to look out for are Lady Velandras Cresta Cuervo, Hiladora del torreón, Campeón infausto (though prioritise the Arcanista resucitado in these packs first), Comandante Shemdah'sohn, Señor de las espadas guardia de cólera and Dominador Flemavil.
Some boss tips are as follows:
Amalgama de almas - Apply Choque de llamas to different souls across the room before firing off Oleada primigenia to get maximum value, and hold some CC in case they get too close. Make sure to have Cambio astral for the Ráfaga de almas. Tótem Pillaterra does work to root one of the Alma inquieta to extend the phase, but isn't permanent so not ideal.
Illysanna Cresta Cuervo - Aim to have Oleada primigenia for the start of the intermission (requires a small amount of holding) and interrupt then burn down the Arcanista resucitado quickly. After that, hit the boss and cleave down the Vanguardia infausto slowly.
Lord Kur'talos Cresta Cuervo - Use all cooldowns to get through the first phase ASAP, don't spend anything in the wind-up before getting buffed in phase 2. Cambio astral the opening Salva de descarga de las Sombras, and aim to use every Oleada primigenia you trigger to hit both the boss and the Enjambre punzante to kill it quickly.

In the first area, watch out for Sacrificar alma from Protector fantasmal, we can leverage our funnel to burn these down extremely quickly to leverage the damage taken debuff.
Stops are at a premium in the second area, so make sure to plan your uses of Tótem capacitador and Tormenta de truenos to keep Baile de cuchillos from Explorador resucitado locked down. Any spare uses should be used to stop Explorador resucitado from Risen Archers.

This also extends to the third area, where you should stagger your AoE stops to prevent Wyrmtongue Scavengers from completing "Beber" poción antigua casts to avoid some ensuing chaos. Note in this area as well, Tormenta de truenos does not interrupt Asalto brutal from the Señor de las espadas guardia de cólera.

We're the only class able to consistently solo interrupt the Frenesí vil from a single Dominador Flemavil with Corte de viento, so make sure to focus target one when moving through the gauntlet.
Use Tótem de Carga de viento to move through the staircases faster, and also in the final area of trash to make it much easier to quickly evade Picado del cuervo from Risen Lancers. All of our stops (including Tormenta de truenos) also interrupt these if a lot are casting at once.
Tótem Piel de piedra helps with some of the larger pulls, and also works on the Pisotón sacudetierra from Atizarrabias el Odioso, which can overlap almost every one to help the group. It can also soften the damage from Guja brutal cast on ranged players on Illysanna Cresta Cuervo.
Espíritu de lobo simply helps with some of the area navigation, and can also be used for its defensive value on Amalgama de almas, Illysanna Cresta Cuervo and Lord Kur'talos Cresta Cuervo on the group AoE hits if you're struggling.

The Everbloom

spell=383013

spell=260878

spell=383017

El Vergel Eterno has a lot of "useless" trash in pulls that don't really do much, ther'es just a lot of them. We're much better suited leaning heavily into our funnel playstyle to even out packs, so while it may not be best for overalls on meters, it is best for timing the key. A couple of important notes are:
Any pack with Dreadpetals involved should have you using anything else as an anchor - preferrably Aguijón Rocaspina if present (these are very dangerous to ranged), Naturalista del Vergel Eterno or Rabioso fusionado.
If a Abominación retorcida is present this is your number one anchor target - they come with much higher health and have a painful group damage cast.
Hapless Assistants are just extra tank damage, instead make sure to focus any Mages present as they have lethal single target casts and cannot be crowd controlled.

Alongside that, there's some optimization for boss damage as well:

Cortezamustia - This is our dream funnel boss, especially if the tank also pulls Dreadpetals onto it. Don't focus any of the adds that spawn from Aqueous Globules, just keep Estallido de relámpagos active and use all of that extra Elementos astillados Haste and Arma vorágine to blow the boss up in the Corteza quebradiza expose phase.
Ancient Protectors - Make sure to keep Choque de llamas up on the caster at range while sending your priority damage into your main target (usually Modelador de tierra Telu). Maintain Estallido de relámpagos on Dulhu, but just cleave it down passively until the first is dead. Remember we can also interrupt the Revitalizar from range with Corte de viento, but due to the short cooldown we're generally better keeping the direct damage casts locked down.
Yalnu - Make sure to have Oleada primigenia ready for each Anciano floreciente spawn, these need to die quickly to get the buff active again, and our cooldowns are cheap to spend here. Use Cambio astral before the Arremetida colosal if you're unstable as it's pretty lethal.

Tormenta de truenos is still able to be cast if you're stunned by Vides asfixiantes cast by Naturalista del Vergel Eterno so long as you're near the caster. It can also be used if timed very precisely to intercept the Remolino elástico from Rabioso fusionado and prevent them from dashing out.
Tótem de limpieza contraveneno is taken to deal with the Ráfaga venenosa from Aguijón Rocaspina, as this does a lot of damage following a pretty nasty charge to ranged players.
Guía ancestral is useful in larger pulls, especially those containing an Abominación retorcida to counter Erupción nociva. It's also worth using if your healer falls behind on Ancient Protectors.
Use Tótem de Carga de viento during either of the Frost phases on Archimaga Sol to comfortably get out of the Fusión glacial ring. It's ideally better for the Arcane pairing to get to a good distance before the Compresión espacial pull. Also use it during Génesis on Yalnu to stomp the flowers before they spawn Feral Lashers.
Espíritu de lobo is almost exclusively for the Arremetida colosal on Yalnu if you're struggling to avoid the one shot when the Anciano floreciente is active. It also has some uses when dodging on Archimaga Sol, especially during Tormenta de descarga de ceniza.
Tótem Piel de piedra is here to assist with tank damage, as they can take extreme damage in larger Horripétalo pulls. It also softens the initial impact from the Remolino elástico cast by Rabioso fusionado.

Throne of the Tides

spell=383013

spell=378075

spell=383017

Trono de las Mareas bucks the trend somewhat of having priority targets by virtue of everything being dangerous. That said, there are some offset health enemies that have value being focused to kill groups evenly - just bear in mind if your group is struggling with stops killing off a low health enemy, especially a caster or Bocadragón sañoso to reduce the burden is sometimes worth it. Things to watch out for are Centinela Naz'jar, Devastador Naz'jar, Vigía ignoto and Avizor corrupto.
Some tips for bosses are:
Lady Naz'jar - Aim to have Oleada primigenia ready for the intermission, interrupt one Bruja de escarcha Naz'jar early and help the tank gather them before going all out. Consider Guía ancestral if the group is unstable here too. For Tempestad enfocada, you will always take a maximum of two ticks: one high and one low damage - bank some Arma vorágine and heal yourself after the first tick comes in. Save Cambio astral for Explosión de choque.
Comandante Ulthok - Cambio astral for the Ola de choque degenerativa and use Guía ancestral for the follow-up DoT. Cadena de relámpagos and Granizada both work to knock back the Moco burbujeante.
Dominamentes Ghur'sha - Only commit Cambio astral if the healer is falling behind. ALWAYS save Oleada primigenia for the Tótem de aluvión tormentoso spawns to burn them down quickly. Tótem de tremor works on the Visión terrorífica fear, but the damage is pretty dangerous so just use line of sight.
Ozumat - Try to save Oleada primigenia for each add wave to kill all of the Fango together on one spot. Save Camino de espíritu if you're caught in a bad spot when dropping a Tromba tintórea, and use Cambio astral if you're ever forced into the Oscuridad tintórea.

Use Guía ancestral when Profundidades aplastantes goes out to help the healer remove it. If you are targeted, switch to using Arma vorágine for healing if the healer is struggling to get rid of it.
Use Tótem de Carga de viento following the Tentáculos constrictores pull from Vigía ignoto to get out of the follow-up Machaque de las Sombras. Make sure to focus interrupt Tortura mental from Vidente ignoto with Corte de viento during this.

Zarpas atronadoras and Camino de espíritu can also dispel and cancel Mind Flay if you're targeted by Faceless Seer.

Tótem de limpieza contraveneno is to help keep the Lanza envenenada casts from Cazador Gilgoblin packs under control, as these can go out on multiple people and deals a lot of damage.
Careful with your cleave during Avizor corrupto, and try your best to leverage the funnel from Corrupción inestable spawns to kill it as a priority instead of focusing on AoE to avoid lethal Marejada casts.
Tótem Piel de piedra is to assist the tanks, and most importantly to reduce the Bleed damage from Mandíbulas de cuchilla when the Vicious Snap Dragons fixate the group. This is extremely helpful in the large pack upstairs.

For general information about individual talents in each of these builds, you can use the talent build guide:

Dealing with Weekly Affixes as an Enhancement Shaman

Each week has a rotation of affixes applied to dungeons, with the first added at Keystone Level 7, and the second added at Keystone Level 14. Below are tips and specific talent choices to deal with each of the weekly affixes, separated into between the level each affix activates, and tabs for each individual effect:

‎ LEVEL 7‎

All of the affixes below activate at Keystone Level 7 and above, and focus on effects that trigger periodically while in combat.

Afflicted

Throughout the dungeon while in combat up to two Afflicted Souls will spawn and attempt a 10 second cast - Grito quejumbroso. If successful, it will reduce the groups Haste by 100% for 10 seconds. These have a 15 second ICD between spawns, but don't always spawn on this cycle.

This is stopped if any friendly dispel is cast on them, or they are healed to full. That means Limpiar espíritu serves as targeted removal, but Tótem de limpieza contraveneno is especially powerful, as this will smart dispel the souls one by one in rapid succession. This is so helpful that, if you have spare points, both Oleada totémica and Regreso totémico are worth considering if your group is having issues, letting you do the majority of the work. In an emergency, you can even spend Arma vorágine to Oleada de sanación any souls should the healer fall behind.

Entangling

Throughout the dungeon while in combat a vine will periodically spawn, snaring you by 30%. You have 8 seconds to snap this vine by leaving the circle, or you will be stunned for 3 seconds.

This isn't a big issue to deal with so long as you pay attention. You should also ideally take Zarpas atronadoras so you can just shift into Lobo fantasmal every time it triggers to clear the debuff instantly. Camino de espíritu is also a good emergency tool since it's off the GCD, and if you're consistently running into issues you can also add in points of Seguir la corriente. If you're caught with no spare tools, you can also shift to Lobo fantasmal and remove the slow penalty while you run out.

Incorporeal

Throughout the dungeon while in combat up to two Incorporeal Beings will spawn and attempt a 5 second cast - Desestabilizar. If successful, it will reduce the groups damage and healing done by 50% for 10 seconds. These have a 20 second ICD between spawns, and will spawn reliably on this timer.

These can be affected by any crowd control, so naturally we're useful for these with our wide array of control tools. Corte de viento is extremely useful due to their eratic spawn locations, but generally as this is extra CC required, picking up Maleficio is a good pick. Maestría de vudú is also recommended, allowing you to skip Vientos de Al'akir when pathing deeper in the tree, allowing you to cover every spawn. Due to us having a cooldown on our CC, try to co-ordinate with your group members to avoid layering them.

Storming

Throughout the dungeon while in combat enemies will spawn tornadoes that spiral outward from them. If you are hit, the tornado despawns and deals light damage, and knocks you into the air.

We don't really have any strong tools to deal with this and this can be quite disruptive because we rely on sticking close for a lot of our tools. If there's dangerous mechanics coming up, it's sometimes helpful to soak them beforehand when things are quiet, but otherwise running out and using some of our ranged toolkit to stay active. Remember that they always spiral out in the same direction, so orient yourself based on this.

Volcanic

Throughout the dungeon while in combat volcanic plumes will spawn beneath players feet, preferring those at ranged. After 2 seconds these erupt, dealing 20% of your health in damage and knocking you high into the air.

Since these prefer to spawn on ranged, they aren't much of an issue for us to deal with. They will occasionally spawn if you move far enough away from enemies (or the boss leaps away), or if ranged players move too close. If that happens just watch your feet and sidestep.

‎ LEVEL 14
All of the affixes below activate at Keystone Level 14 and above, and focus on effects that trigger at enemy health thresholds or on death.

Bolstering

Whenever a non-boss enemy dies, all enemies within 30 yards in combat deal 20% increased damage for the next 20 seconds. This stacks multiplicatively, but does not affect bosses (note, this was changed in Season 2 to no longer increase health).

While this affix is active, due to Enhancement both using anchor targets for AoE and having funnel damage, you should be especially careful to not trigger this buff unevenly by focusing down the wrong enemies. Should you bolster things too much, use crowd control tools such as Tótem capacitador and Tótem Nexo Terrestre to help the tank kite if things get too much.

Bursting

Whenever a non-boss enemy dies it applies Ráfaga to all players, dealing Shadow damage over 4 seconds. This stacks, and will refresh back to full duration when a new one is applied.

This usually means that staggering enemy deaths is a good idea, but should you trigger too many at once it's wise to help your healer with offhealing. That means as packs are ending save some Arma vorágine to assist, use Tótem Corriente de sanación if taken and hardcast as many Oleada de sanacións as you can to keep yourself alive.

Raging

Whenever a non-boss enemy reaches 30% health, it enrages, becoming immune to crowd control effects for 30 seconds (note, this was changed in Season 2 to no longer increase damage dealt).

Due to the Season 2 change, make sure not to waste any of your CC tools when this is active. Enemies can still be interrupted during this, so watch for dangerous casts and aim to hold Corte de viento to cover any lethal casts if this is active and you have no Calmar or similar effect in your party.

Sanguine

Whenever a non-boss enemy dies, they leave behind pool of Icor sanguino. Players who stand in this take 15% of their maximum health in Shadow damage every second, and enemies heal for 5%. Pools last for 12 seconds, and multiple pools in the same location stack.

In these weeks, there's an argument to dropping Choque de truenos (although it comes at the cost of of our best stop) to get access to base Tormenta de truenos to knock enemies out. Be careful when they die as well, as multiple pools can be very dangerous, and don't kill enemies under targets during unstoppable casts/channels. Watch your Tótem capacitador (especially with Cayada del guardián) as enemies die, and dismiss Elemental de Tierra if you have one actively tanking, as it'll stand in the pools until it dies.

Spiteful

Whenever a non-boss enemy dies, a Sombra rencorosa spawns in its place that chases players and slowly loses health. These deal heavy melee damage if they get in range.

These can be killed when they spawn, and with the amount of passive cleave Enhancement does that also slows with Granizada these are relatively easy to deal with. Tótem Pillaterra should be taken to root these as you kite these, and in extreme cases switching to just Tormenta de truenos to knock them away can be a last resort.

Enhancement Shaman Viability In Mythic+

After a strong expansion in both Season 1 and 2, bringing an extremely strong damage package it looks like Season 3 will follow that trend and push us even closer toward the in group of strong melee specs. Thanks to our wide variety of builds that can be used depending on each dungeon, ability to bring virtually any damage profile and especially the funnel throughEstallido de relámpagos Arma vorágine generation paired with Catalizador cinéreo and Elementos astillados we are uniquely positioned to fit into most group compositions. Depending on what a group needs it can flex into a number of roles, and our utility toolkit is evergreen - every group wants more control for packs.

The big downside however that still looks to be true, is that while it can be durable, if things deal too much frontloaded damage at key moments we simply run out of tools to survive due to the long cooldowns of Cambio astral, Elemental de Tierra and Reencarnación, which can be a problem. That said, when you look at what we bring to the table, so long as groups have room for melee and can cover for some of that durability weakness, we're one of the best picks around.

Another extremely beneficial aspect to our damage profile is that we do have builds that aren't overly reliant on having pulls manufactured to play around explosive cooldown moments. We can simply take things that are available more frequently to suit the group you're playing with and the tank's pulling style, which means anywhere from low to high keys there's something we can alter to fit.

More generally, a key part of Mythic+ is finding ways to improve, learn and adapt after the run concludes. This innately differentiates the good from the great: the ability to be introspective, break down a run after completion whether successful or not, and use mistakes to learn for future runs. One large element of this is the routine of logging your keys and going over those logs to identify areas that were problematic. Common examples are:

Pulls where cooldowns were required but not available, in order to identify where else they should be spent or what could be done to have them up - be that the route or misuse when they weren't needed
Individual elements of play that may not be up to standard within your rotation, or your use of utility tools
Rotational and target priority issues that led to dangerous targets surviving or members of the group dying

There are number of tools and communities that exist to parse, break down, and crystallize information from logs. For us, Earthshrine does this for free.

Enhancement Shaman Mythic+ Utility

Ancestral Guidance and Other Healing Tools

Guía ancestral can do an incredible amount of healing to help get through some dangerous packs assuming we're allowed to freely AoE, making otherwise overwhelming packs much more stable. We can also leverage our Arma vorágine stacks, at the cost of damage, to put out some potent Oleada de sanación / Sanación en cadena casts to provide a large amount of group healing should things get dangerous. While the cost to output is high, avoiding group members dying is definitely worth it and they're strong enough to save someone who dips low, including yourself.

Control Tools

Enhancement has an incredibly wide control toolkit especially in AoE situations that lets it lock down a pack single handedly if things are layered together. The combination of Tótem capacitador (+ Cayada del guardián / Carga estática), Tormenta de truenos (+ Choque de truenos), Hendimiento and Corte de viento really lets you keep enemies out of the fight for an extended period, giving the rest of the group time to safely unload burst and prevent lethal casts going off. There's also cases where Maleficio can be useful especially during Incorpóreo weeks, but available talent points can begin to get strained.

Purge and Dispels

Purgar is widely useful in a variety of dungeons due to how many buffs can be removed, or shields that can be ripped off with just one global. Limpiar espíritu is more niche but allows us to remove Curse effects as a DPS, which can help your healer especially if they don't have access to it themselves. Both this and Tótem de limpieza contraveneno work on Aflicción spawns, with the latter being incredibly powerful as it effectively cleans a wave of spirits without much effort safely.

Windfury Totem

I'd consider this the elephant in the room because some builds available to us really struggle to take this. That's often because all of our damage builds start to get strained for points when we want to be flexible in AoE and single target at the same time, and given that Mythic+ heavily weights toward versatile profiles this is on full display. Tótem Viento furioso's value also drops significantly in AoE situations for some classes (which is often the main benefit of the extra auto attacks), so paired with how annoying it can be to constantly drop and drag around, it's not always as worthwhile as in raid situations. The chart below shows rough values for all specs in different situations, so use that to judge based on your group.

Note: Enhancement is listed here assuming someone else is bringing it for you, so the gain is from having an additional talent point, NOT from the totem itself

Usually the cutoff for this being worth it is if there's at least one but preferrably two other major contributors who benefit strongly from the effect in all situations (commonly Rogues, Fury Warriors, and some builds for Frost Death Knights). Just remember that while some groups will demand this of you (especially certain classes), don't feel obliged to take it if the group composition is more caster oriented, doesn't suit it or your preferred build simply can't fit it in. This is extra important in Season 3 because no matter what you drop to take it, it will be an important talent that will impact your performance in one aspect or another.

Other Helpful Effects

While a whole lot of classes bring it now, we are a good source of Ansia de sangre in the current season, which almost every group wants due to the nerf to Drums. Reencarnación is also useful to either survive lethal mechanics (though extremely infrequently), or as a way to skip certain segments of trash by just committing to a death run and ankhing in a safe place, resurrecting the group and moving on. Finally, Elemental de Tierra is a fairly unique extra tool that's not only a defensive for us, but can operate as a pocket tank to take some pressure off your groups tank, or delay enemies for a short period if they die. Just be aware that its AI isn't always on your side (especially during Sanguina weeks) and it will often just opt to stand still once it gets aggro.
