Leveling a Enhancement Shaman: 1 to 60

When each tier opens with every point in Enhancement, when the build takes its talents, when the trainer teaches the key abilities, the best weapon to pick up every few levels, and what the world opens at each level: camping, the new dungeons, Dual Specialization and the raids.

Enhancement Shaman: what each level brings

Drag the level: trainer ranks, the talent point, the best gear, mounts and dungeons of that level, for the race and professions picked above.
