Watch the original recording

The timestamps below lead to the original recording. The talent, planner and victory checkpoints were reviewed at 1080p. These are observations from one recorded character on v0.123.0.

Video checkpoints

Compare progression and talent points

At 0:30, the talent screen shows 30 Elemental, 21 Enhancement and 0 Restoration points, with all 51 earned points spent. At 0:55, the character menu shows v0.123.0, 37 of 60 equipment pieces and all 12 zones open. The difficulty selector displays Normal, although we did not separately verify every transition into the run. This is a finished arrangement; it does not show the order in which the player spent them.

For a fresh starting point, our class reference records the Shaman picker on v0.124.0, including Lightning Bolt as the starting spell. The recorded character has substantially more progression than that new character; check the game's current talent descriptions before adapting the recorded example.

Use the planner as a plan

Around 2:15, the recording displays an ASBuilder planner labelled Enh Shock Build. Its early-game notes prioritize Earth Shock, Frost Shock and Chain Lightning, and mention taking a Frost Shock target option. The planner lists Lightning Bolt, Flame Shock and Healing Wave as planned banishes. These are the player's notes for the recorded v0.123.0 setup, not proof of every card offered or selected.

At 20:00 in the video, a third-party tracker displays Earth Shock, Frost Shock and Chain Lightning at ranks 25, 20 and 17 respectively. That snapshot shows the tracker's state at one moment, not the full upgrade sequence or a comparison with other builds. The equipment guide explains how to distinguish the Codex from worn class gear; compare your own available choices in the current game.

Recorded result and limits

At 24:25, the recording shows Victory for a Gnome Shaman in Un'Goro Crater, with 16:02 survived, level 63 and five bosses slain. This is one run with the developed character shown in the video; we have not independently verified all choices, the difficulty throughout the run or whether the setup works in later patches.

A victory is not a controlled comparison or proof of the strongest build. The build overview links other recorded examples and explains why starting progression matters.
