    Lower level shaman are kinda squishy, especially elemental. Get specced into insta-ghost wolf as early as you can, and learn to use it to get out of AoE. Get a trinket asap, and use it along with tremors, because the tooltip for tremor totem should say "removes fear effects as soon as you run out of range of tremor totem" (I rarely use tremors, I use trinket, it's too iffy for me it seems).

    Just always target any class who can AoE fear and take them out first (warriors, priests, locks). Do not, under any circumstances, let a warrior get near you, as their whirly-spinny-thing-of-death will make quick work of a pack of shaman. Ghost wolf and get the hell away from them. Make use of staggered earth binds, and spec into the points that make them root enemies (elemental tree -- Storm, Earth, and Fire).

    With practice you will become very good at escape and keeping the dangerous classes away from you. Knowing when to get away is just as important as knowing who to kill first.

    Edit: Make sure you have a macro for all 4 shaman to cast lesser heal on your main within easy reach, because inevitably your main will be focus fired.

    Might be a good idea to get both those talents and go into cheap shocks (-45% costs) in enhance and then worry about ele. Since instant GW is more important then Thunderstorm or doing even more dmg imo.

    Sorry, but i think i want to be in your BG for fun. Not dropping tremor totems is even worse then playing with tremors and being naked. You really have to lack priest/warlocks/warriors with a brain to be able to afford that.

    I may have mis-stated that. I meant "I don't depend on tremors", not "I don't use them". They just never seem to work for me. They are in my regular "drop all 20 totems" key, however. And, you'd be surprised how many people try to stand at range and have a casting war with 5 shamans, instead of CCing them.

    You do stagger them? Don't drop them all at once, but at least in 3 stages so tremor *ticks* every second instead of every 3.

    I thought it was changed so they all tick on a global clock now?
