"This is just what i think fits the race best. You do not have to do this. You can mix and match whatever you like."
Troll shaman are best for casting. They can be great elemental shaman or great restoration shaman.
Elemental Talent Build
This build will focus on the Elemental Talent tree but will be grabbing some restoration to help them keep there head above water if things get ugly.
First 11 Talent Points
Concussion 5 Points (5% boost to shock damage)
This is to start the line that will make your shocks much better. Shocks are one of the shamans best spells. Each shock has its own special side effect. Fire adds a Dot, Frost adds slow, Earth stops casting.
Convection 5 Points (10% less mana cost for shocks)
This is very helpful because shocks are not that good on mana. Anything that makes them better is great.
Elemental Focus 1 (10% chance to get free spell from nuking)
This is this is the reason we put 11 points in here. This is SOO helpful when nuking. Getting free damage spells is great.
Now the rest of your points you can put in restoration or elemental its up to you. I will just point out the good talents.
Its good to grab some restoration so that you can live longer in a battle.
Restoration Talents
Improved Healing Wave 5 points (.5 sec Faster cast for Healing wave)
This helps you get that heal off half a second faster. Doesnt seem like much but that half a second could be the difference between life and death.
Tidal Focus 5 points (5% less mana cost for healing spells)
What this means is you have 5% more mana for healing or nuking. And thats very nice.
Improved Lesser Healing Wave 5 Points (Lessens chance to be interruped by damage by 75%)
This is one of the best things in the tree. With no delays to healing this helps when taking damage.
Tidal Mastery 5 points (5% higher chance to crit with healing and lightning spells)
This is a great spell because crit on a heal is GREAT. Healing for more then you wanted to is a beautiful thing.
Natures Swiftness 1 point (Makes next nature spell instant cast)
This is the biggest thing since sliced bread. Doing a full heal instantly is pricless. (If you get this spell you can not get the 31 point talent in the other 2 trees.)
If you do not plan to go restoration do not put more then 21 points in this tree.
Back to Elemental.
Elemental
Dont forget this is a elemental damage build spec so dont grab to many restoration talents.
Reverberation 5 points (Lowers the cooldown of your shock spells by 1 sec)
This is good for getting those shock spells off faster. Be sure to pick this up for getting max DPS from your shock spells.
Call of Thunder 5 points (Raises crit chance of lightning spells by 5%)
This makes those lightning bolts pretty effective at dealing damage. A high crit is a great thing for magic spells. If you grabbed Improved lightning bolt (15% less mana cost of lightning) Then you are well on your way to a nuke that does not waste mana and does good damage.
Elemental Fury 1 point (Increases crit damage of spells by 100%)
This just makes those crits super powerful.
Lightning Mastery 5 points (Lets you cast lightning spells 1 sec faster)
This makes spamming lightning spells good on mana great on damage and with the high crit rate just beautiful.
Elemental Mastery 1 point (Gives your next fire frost or nature spell 100% chance to crit)
This is the final talent of the elemental tree. For those times when you just NEED that crit. BOOM its there.
Now on to the Restoration Troll Talent tree.
