I am just beginning to explore the new Enh - a fave in TWW - and I wondering where the vaunted button pruning is. It still looks incredibly overloaded. I am just starting out with the Icy Veins Totemic build so any thoughts and/or pointers much appreciated. I will try it out for a bit but then may opt for their Easy Mode. All tips appreciated!

I understand it may seem a lot at first glance but the spec is truly simple, even more now. Any hybrid class is destined to have more buttons, I’d say we have less than druid with the new class tree.
At the rotation level, we realistically only lost Ice Strike and we got Doom Winds baked into Ascendance so that’s 2 less buttons. As Stormbringer, the active rotation (without utility) is 7 buttons, Totemic is 9. This is very much comparable to any class at this point.
For tracking I would recommend using the new buff manager for those 4.
Tracked Buffs
- Maelstrom Weapon
- Crash Lightning, in Midnight it is now essential to cast it on cooldown and maintain the buff
- Ascendance/Doom Winds depending what you play. Doom Winds proc from Ascendance currently don’t show up like they did on Beta so that might be fixed eventually.
Tracked Bars
- Tempest/Surging Totem timer
- Hot Hands if Totemic
That’s all you need
