Rip ApartRip Apart: This is your primary damage skill, but remember it has two phases. On the first cast, you leap onto your target (and interrupt spell channel), dealing damage and reducing their resistances. The second cast lets you dash away, which can be used defensively to avoid damage. Thanks to Accelerated AssaultAccelerated Assault, the dash also grants increased attack speed, allowing you to dish out high burst damage in a short time while also applying a bleed with Rending KnucklesRending Knuckles.

Totemic FuryTotemic Fury: This spell offers three options, depending on your Elemental MasteryElemental Mastery cycle: Fire Totem: Deals fire damage to nearby mobs. Water Totem: Heals you and nearby allies. Earth Totem: Boosts your damage as well as the damage of your Elemental MasteryElemental Mastery wolf.

Lightning StrikeLightning Strike: While this is a nice skill on itself, with this heavy AP (attack power) build, Lightning StrikeLightning Strike does very little damage and isn't even worth using as it does raw Spell Power damage.

Call of the WildCall of the Wild: This skill spawns a wolf that does good damage and can also cast its own skills every 5th auto-attack depending on which Elemental MasteryElemental Mastery you have active. The Fire Element makes the wolf do an AOE fireblast and leave behind a fire behind dealing damage to all mobs caught into it. The Earth Element allows the wolf to do the most burst damage and also slow mobs caught in the AOE. And lastly, The Water Element heals you and the wolf every 5th auto-attack the wolf does.

Elemental MasteryElemental Mastery: This skill automatically increases your attack-speed every 3rd auto-attack you make and adds a charge. Once you reach 5 charges, Elemental MasteryElemental Mastery allows you to use Totemic FuryTotemic Fury and summon a totem. Depending on which element you have active on this skill, it also controls what kind of damage your wolf (Call of the WildCall of the Wild) does.

Mana BoostMana Boost: Essential for both leveling and mana management. Even though Elemental SynergyElemental Synergy can give you mana when using the Water Element, Mana BoostMana Boost is still useful.

CleanseCleanse: Good for clearing annoying debuffs off yourself, especially high ticking poisons.
