Their abilities include weapon enchanting like “Windfury Weapon” (gives 20% chance to deal two extra hits with each attack) and their “Lightning Shield” (protects caster with three charges of lightning orbs, making damage to attackers). Shaman Enhancement talents and abilities are based on hybrid melee damage, providing powerful buffs with totems.
