Shaman: Full Ascendancy Breakdown

Identity

Shaman is Druid's Rage-and-elemental-adaptation Ascendancy: it builds Spirit off your empty Charm slots, strips Rage's normal decay in exchange for a steady per-second regen and a small cost tax on your Skills, and turns incoming Elemental damage into a temporary resistance buff that compounds the more distinct Elements you've been hit by. Bringer of the Apocalypse caps the tree with a Glory-fueled skill that unleashes randomized elemental disasters on a short internal timer.

+3% to all Elemental Resistances (this passive appears twice on the tree; taking both stacks the bonus)

Keystone

Shaman has no keystone-tier node of its own. Some guides list Furious Wellspring, Avatar of Evolution, or Bringer of the Apocalypse as Keystones, but this site's own tree data confirms none of the three carry that flag — all three are standard notables.

Practical notes

Furious Wellspring and Druidic Champion pair naturally — a steady, decay-free Rage float from Furious Wellspring is exactly what Druidic Champion wants to convert into Spell Damage.
Avatar of Evolution and Reactive Growth both key off the same Adaptation mechanic, so taking both means every Elemental Hit you take is simultaneously mitigating future damage of that type and, once Avatar of Evolution is up, doubling how strong that mitigation is.
Bringer of the Apocalypse's 100 Glory cost makes it a periodic cooldown-style payoff rather than something to lean on constantly — budget your Glory generation around it rather than assuming it's always available.
