General
- Want a round up of dungeon and quest loot in the two starting zones? We have you covered.
- What talents and skills will you be taking to Northrend? Zach spells it out for us.
- How has the class changed? We covered that in two parts.
Talents and Skills
- Natalie Mootz covered Elemental Shaman talent builds.
- Enhancement has turned out to be a really fun spec.
- What's going on with Elemental Combat?
- Healing as a shaman in Northrend will be a lot more involved thanks to spells like Riptide.
- Thunder, thunder, thunder, Thunderstorm ho!
Other neat stuff
- Watch a shaman kill an entire raid group!
- In case you missed it, you don't need to carry four totems to Northrend with you. Yay for extra bag space.
Hopefully you'll have as much fun in Northrend as I did my first and second times through the beta.

Is anyone else annoyed that, although all totem relics now count for your 4 totems, you can't destroy those 4 individual totems so they now get to eat up bank space instead of bag space?

/agree
It is still 4 wasted slots, just not in our immediate luggage

I clicked on the comments link JUST to make this same statement.
What's the use of saving us 4 slots on our person while making us use them in the bank?
About the only good thing about all this is I ended up getting like 20 slots open from pvp tokens and pets no longer being there.

WTB Elemental Buffs so I can go back from Resto. =(

Oh, FFS. Stop highlighting Natalie's elemental build piece. That was the most ill conceived piece of trash to ever grace this site.

Is the correct PvE elem build.

Those builds are both terrible, thank god you put three point in eye of the storm; with the new pushback mechanics those points are worthless even while leveling.
I'm not saying that this is the best build out there, but until I get Lava Burst at 75, I will be using this:

I'd say this is the optimal level 80 PvE build:
