ARK SHAMAN
Master the Elements. Understand Your Power.
A Shaman isn't defined by a single spell. It's defined by knowing which element, tool, and decision the situation demands.
ARK Shaman is a class-specific learning and progression addon developed for World of Warcraft Forever. It combines a minimal Spell Beacon, the original Elemental Compass interface, structured 1–60 educational exercises, and an independent learning journal into one self-contained coaching experience.
Whether you're learning Elemental, developing your Enhancement fundamentals, or preparing for Restoration responsibilities, ARK Shaman helps you understand your toolkit instead of simply memorizing a rotation.
THE ARK SPELL BEACON
Your coaching doesn't need to occupy half your screen.
ARK Spell Beacon displays one floating spell icon with a subtle border. No extra rotation bars, full-screen panels, or flashing distractions.
- Uses the character's available spellbook information to filter suggestions
- Shows a client-provided spell icon
- Supports Elemental, Enhancement, and Restoration learning preferences
- Provides a hover explanation outside combat
- Offers movable positioning and adjustable icon sizing
- Allows manual Helpful or Skip feedback
Suggestions are educational, selected outside combat, and held unchanged during combat. Spell Beacon does not automatically cast spells or calculate a live combat rotation.
THE ELEMENTAL COMPASS
Open the full Shaman interface whenever you want deeper guidance.
Earth — Survival: Learn defensive preparation, enemy selection, and the value of utility totems.
Fire — Pressure: Compare offensive approaches and learn when aggressive play may create unnecessary risk.
Water — Recovery: Understand healing readiness, mana conservation, and sustainable leveling.
Air — Mobility & Support: Study movement, group utility, and flexible preparation.
Dedicated planning sections cover elemental sets, equipment choices, and weapon imbue education.
The interface is built specifically for Shamans rather than relying on a generic all-class dashboard.
THE 1–60 SHAMAN ACADEMY
ARK Shaman includes 60 level-indexed educational exercises focused on practical skill development.
Study class fundamentals, resource discipline, utility preparation, solo questing, survivability, and group responsibilities as you progress.
Mark an exercise as practiced to maintain a personal learning history. These confirmations represent your own reported practice, not automatically measured mastery.
RESEARCH & PROGRESSION
- Class-specific mechanics research with source attribution
- Educational guidance for all three talent paths
- Local per-character practice persistence
- A progress and evidence journal
- Preliminary leveling-zone references
- Optional synchronization with ARK Coach
- Optional shared XP evidence through ARK XP
ARK Shaman works independently. ARK Coach, ARK XP, ARK Bridge, ARK Core, WeakAuras, and ElvUI are not required.
GETTING STARTED
Use /arkshaman to open the class interface and /arkshamanbeacon to access the compact spell guidance controls.
Start with the academy, select your learning focus, and work through practical lessons alongside normal gameplay.
DEVELOPMENT STATUS & COMPATIBILITY
Target: World of Warcraft Forever
Class: Shaman
Build: 0.9.0 development preview
The code has passed offline checks, but actual Forever-client verification remains pending. Spell and rank suggestions depend on the client's spellbook. Full verified 1–60 quest, talent, and trainer guidance remains under development.
ARK Shaman does not bypass combat restrictions, automatically cast abilities, or claim live rotation optimization.
