RaceDwarfThe Water Totem is a proper journey for a Dwarf Shaman. We'll fit it into the route alongside the other three totem chains, starting in Dun Morogh and continuing through Loch Modan and the southern Alliance zones to 30. Weapons, shields, and reagents are listed where you'll need them.
What to install from CurseForge for Forever: the useful and the fun
Earth Shock, 
Purge, 
Stoneform, heals, bandages and water on visible keybinds. Watch your weapon imbue and active totems.
Call of the Elements. Check the assigned set before using it in a group.Small things about your route, mobs, mana, and speed that add up to hours over a whole leveling run
Main route: Coldridge Valley → Kharanos → Loch Modan → Westfall → Redridge → a separate Water Totem trip → Duskwood → Wetlands → finishing Duskwood and the Air Totem at 30. Earth, Fire, Water and Air are all part of the main route. Dungeons and group chapters can each be skipped independently.
Skip a full set of white gear. Prioritize useful spells, water, bag space and then a meaningful weapon upgrade. Quest chains supply the saptas and waterskins you need; do not look for them on ordinary vendors.
Builds for 10-30: which one to pick and in what order to spend points
By 30, you have 21 talent points. I'd use Enhancement for solo questing, with a strong two-hander, cheaper shocks, and a quicker Wolf. Elemental spends more time drinking. The two healing options suit regular group play. Eldrun Stormbreaker in Ironforge handles training and respecs. These orders use the Forever trees after Blizzard's November 2 changes.
Thundering Strikes for crit and 
Mental Dexterity to turn Intellect into attack power, so your gear serves both mana and weapon damage. At 18-19, 
Ancestral Knowledge 2/5 adds 4% Intellect, and at 20 
Shamanistic Focus makes shocks cheaper. Since November 2, 
Improved Ghost Wolf sits in row 4, so instant Wolf only comes at 26-27.
Stormstrike at 25 (150% weapon damage and a 6-second cooldown since November 2), Improved Ghost Wolf at 26-27, and 
Flurry 3/5 at 28-30. Before 20, mana is your main limit. I wouldn't drop a full set of totems on every single mob: it dies, and you're left drinking.
Thundering Strikes 5/5
Mental Dexterity 3/3
Ancestral Knowledge 2/5
Shamanistic Focus 1/1
Elemental Weapons 3/3
Anticipation 1/3
Stormstrike 1/1
Improved Ghost Wolf 2/2
Flurry 3/5
Call of Thunder: on November 2 it replaced 
Lava Burst and gives +5% crit to your lightning. The October 15 nerf hit 
Fire Nova, so I'd avoid building every fight around that explosion.
Convection reduces mana costs and 
Elemental Alacrity speeds up lightning casts. Your fire talents improve the matching fire spells and totems.
Earthbound at 25 so placing 
Earthbind Totem roots enemies. At 30 you get Call of Thunder: +5% lightning crit instead of Lava Burst, which was removed on November 2. Fire Nova hits less hard since October 15, so don't gather extra mobs just for the explosion.

Improved Healing Wave shortens your main heal and 
Tidal Focus lowers its cost. 
Mindfulness helps restore mana. Add 
Water Shield at 20 to support longer healing stretches.Improved Ghost Wolf moved to row 4 of Enhancement. This build has no Stormstrike or Shamanistic Focus, so the main Enhancement tips that rely on them don't apply.

| 6-8 | Earthbind Totem, Lightning Shield, Stoneclaw Totem, Rockbiter Weapon | Disengaging, Lightning Shield and protection from an extra mob |
| 10-12 | Flame Shock, Strength of Earth Totem; Fire Totem, Ancestral Spirit, Purge, Fire Nova | Fire damage, out-of-combat resurrection and removing enemy buffs |
| 14-18 | New heal and attack ranks; Cure Poison at 16, Tremor Totem at 18 | Removing poison and protecting the group from fear |
| 20 | Ghost Wolf, Frost Shock, Lesser Healing Wave, Totemic Recall, Call of the Elements | Wolf, a slow, a fast heal and totem management |
| 22 | Cure Disease, Totemic Call, Poison Cleansing Totem | Diseases, repositioning totems and poison cleansing once you have the Water Totem |

Earthbind Totem, Stoneclaw Totem, Stoneskin Totem, Strength of Earth Totem, and Tremor Totem all compete for the Earth slot. Placing another replaces the one already helping you.Searing Totem where it will not pull a nearby camp. Fire Nova explodes around your Fire Totem and cannot be used without one.Totemic Recall removes your totems and, according to its tooltip, returns a quarter of the mana spent. From 22, Totemic Call moves them to you (since November 2, 30-second cooldown), but it costs mana too; repositioning is often unnecessary for a short solo fight.Earth Shock, Flame Shock, and Frost Shock share a cooldown. Expecting a heal or dangerous cast? Hold the shock for it. A little extra damage now can cost you the interrupt a moment later.Shamanistic Focus reduces the cost of shocks and Lightning Shield. Healing builds may use Water Shield instead; you cannot have both shields active at once.Healing Wave trained to the latest rank. Between fights, choose a rank that fits the missing health to avoid wasting mana on overhealing. From 20, use the faster Lesser Healing Wave in emergencies.Stoneform helps against bleeds, poison, disease and heavy physical damage. It does not remove all magic or guarantee an escape from every form of crowd control.Ghost Wolf speeds up travel. In the main build, Improved Ghost Wolf 2/2 removes the cast time and allows Wolf indoors, but since November 2 it sits in row 4 and comes at 26-27. The other builds don't have the talent.Astral Recall at 30 uses your Hearthstone's bind location. You can't keep a second destination with it, so check the current inn before casting.Enhancement needs a hard-hitting weapon: compare DPS, speed, Strength and Intellect, which your chosen talent converts into attack power. Elemental values spell power and Intellect more; healers also want bonus healing and mana regeneration. A shield helps when healing or soloing, but you cannot equip it alongside a two-hander.
| Stage | Item | Where to get it and how to choose |
|---|---|---|
| 1-5 | Short Staff; Anvilmar Hammer; Smooth Walking Staff or Dwarven Kite Shield | Rybrad Coldbank sells the staff; the mace comes from The Troll Cave[4]; the staff or shield from The Stolen Journal[5]. You know all these equipment types from the start. |
| 5-10 | Walking Stick; Coldridge Hammer; Soft Leather Tunic | Grawn Thromwyn sells a 4.17 DPS staff. For Protecting the Herd[12], compare the two-handed mace with the leather chest; the mace requires weapon training. |
| 11-16 | Quarter Staff, Gnarled Staff, Rock Hammer | Kelomir Ironhand : 9.44 DPS from 11, 11.90 from 15, and 12.57 from 16, respectively. The last one is a two-handed mace. |
| 14-16 | Mountaineer's Greataxe or Invader's Mace | From Banner of the Fallen[17]: an 11.21 DPS axe with +3 Strength/+4 Stamina, or an 8.54 DPS one-handed mace with +2 Strength/+1 Spirit. Choose the mace for a shield setup; compare the axe for harder melee hits. |
| 16-18, group | Ironforge Greathammer;  Dusty Belt | The Hall of Thanes: a 15.97 DPS two-handed mace from Old Ironforge Incursion[16]; a leather belt from The Restless Dead[15]. You cannot equip the alternative gun reward. |
| 18-22 | Fist of the People's Militia; Boots of the People's Militia; Long Staff; Maul | The People's Militia[17] offers a one-handed mace or caster leather. Gunther Weller : a 15.17 DPS staff from 20 or a 16.03 DPS two-handed mace from 21. |
| 20-24 |  Smith's Trousers;  Black Whelp Gloves or Black Whelp Boots | Leather rewards from Redridge quests The Everstill Bridge[20] and Underbelly Scales[18]. Compare the stats you need; do not automatically vendor them based on their familiar appearance. |
| 24-26, group | Orc Crusher or Fire Hardened Buckler;  Disjointed Shoes | Tharil'zun[25] offers a two-handed mace or shield. The leather boots from WANTED: Incinerator Gar'im[25] suit a melee build; do not blindly buy a similar item before earning the reward. |
| 28-30, group | Headbasher or Belt of Vindication | The Stockade, The Fury Runs Deep[27]: a 23.70 DPS mace with +9 Strength/+5 Stamina/+10 Intellect. If your weapon is better, compare the leather belt. |
| 28-30, group | Heavehammer or Healer's Staff | The Excavation Site, Prehistoric Prism[31]: a 27.73 DPS two-handed mace with +32 attack power, or a healing staff with +12 Stamina, 5 mana per 5 seconds, +67 healing/+22 spell damage. Choose for your role. |
| 29-30, group | Barreling Reaper; Darkshire Shoulderguards or Crest of Darkshire | Defeat Nek'rosh[32] offers an axe to pair with a shield. For Bride of the Embalmer[30], compare the leather shoulders and shield; healers can also choose the cloth alternative, Mantle of Honor. |
| 30, solo | War Hammer | Kelomir Ironhand in Ironforge or Gerik Koen in Stormwind: 22.29 DPS. A fallback; Headbasher and Heavehammer are stronger. |
Rockbiter Weapon is convenient before 30; at 30, compare Windfury Weapon on a slow weapon. Sharpening stones, weightstones and oils can stack with Shaman imbues in Forever.Totem of Charged Flames is a separate relic from the Fire chain. Equip it in the relic slot; you still need Fire Totem in your bags.Earth Totem in your bags.Earth Totem, Fire Totem, Water Totem and Air Totem are required for their respective elements. A relic does not replace these four items.Reincarnation requires Ankh: Barim Jurgenstaad in Ironforge, Charys Yserian in Stormwind, and Falkan Armonis in Menethil Harbor.
Water Breathing and 
Water Walking are optional for the route. If you use them, check the required 
Shiny Fish Scales and 
Fish Oil. Ordinary swimming and safe roads do not require buying these reagents.Mining with Skinning is the straightforward gold route. Engineering adds handy CC tools, but it also takes gold to level. I'd replace Skinning if you want it, after setting aside the training budget. It can't be a third main profession.
Mining for Dummies from Coldridge Valley Mail Delivery[4]. Without the manual, learn Mining with Yarr Hammerstone in Kharanos or Geofram Bouldertoe in Ironforge. Skinning: Balthus Stoneflayer in Ironforge.
Mining Pick and Skinning Knife from Golorn Frostbeard in Kharanos or Burbik Gearspanner in Ironforge (≈ 10, ≈ 10). Keep tools in your bags.
Expert First Aid - Under Wraps raises the cap to 225; buy from Deneb Walker in Arathi Highlands (≈ 1). No need to wait for skill 150 or character level 30.
Recipe: Thistle Tea if you want to make tea.
Well Fed XP Boost: +5% kill XP for 15 minutes. No bonus to quest turn-ins.Expert Cookbook raises the cap to 225: Shandrina in Ashenvale (≈ 1). Buy through a friend or the Auction House to avoid a separate dangerous trip.Bronze Tube from an engineer; you do not need to learn a profession for one component.Ancestral Spirit, and available cleanses. Bring suitable water and tell the tank when you need a drink. They can't judge your next pull from their mana bar.Tremor Totem when you expect fear, or Poison Cleansing Totem against poison once you have your Water Totem. Avoid replacing a useful Earth Totem out of habit.Grounding Totem from 30 needs the Air Totem item. Finish the chain before promising it to the group. If you use Reincarnation, check where you're about to stand up. Reviving under the same pack just wastes the chance.Stoneform removes bleeds, poison and disease, grants immunity to them for 8 seconds and reduces physical damage taken by 10%; 3-minute cooldown. Forever uses damage reduction instead of the old +10% armor.
Big Game Hunter grants +5% damage against beasts. Useful in Dun Morogh and on Loch Modan hunting circuits, but it does not make a dangerous orange fight safe.
Find Treasure helps spot treasure. Keep it active outdoors, but do not run through guards for a minimap icon.Call of the Elements at 20 unlocks a totem set; its cost is the sum of the selected spells. Call of the Ancestors at 30 adds a second set. You do not need all four totems every fight.Fire Nova is now a separate spell centered on an active Fire Totem. The October 15 notes reduced its damage; the guide does not rely on its old AoE strength.Earth Shock interrupts casts; Purge removes enemy buffs. You cannot interrupt with a shock while its shared cooldown is running after Flame Shock.Stoneform helps against bleeds, poison and disease. Once free, Earthbind Totem, Frost Shock and Wolf give you a chance to get away, but cannot guarantee an escape from every group.
