The theory behind this build is that of maximizing damage output. Combining the effects of Windfury/Flurry with a Two Handed weapon in Close combat while maximizing the effect of the shocks to be used intermittently between attacks. Elemental Mastery used on a Shock for great burst damage combined with one or two Windfury effects can reduce the enemy to rubble.
The problem with this build is that it does not offer any defense whatsoever. So the Shaman will have to be clever when deciding when and how to heal efficiently during battle. This build relies on equipment above all else. A rare or better quality 2 handed weapon is very beneficial as well as items that grant high Stamina/Agility/Intellect. Gear that also bestows +% chance to crit is also very important to allow Flurry to occur more often.
In group PVP with another healer this build can be exceptionally potent as the Shaman doesn’t have to be mindful of his own health pool. The damage output granted by this build is higher than any other at the cost of a low defense rating.
As discussed earlier, Shield Specialization was selected for this build to offer the Shaman an alternative if a situation calls for a higher defense. Especially since Ancestral Knowledge is for the most part a waste of points.


If the reactions are positive, I'll post it in guide section. Edited-with-feedback version of course ^ ^
