Classic Wrath: Lightning Bolt Weaving for Enhance

[@SleeperTL]

this vid is literally gold if you've never played melee pve. I just decided to main an enh sham and this is answering a hundred questions I had tyvm.

[@DMT768]

This shit makes me wanna stop playing enhance

[@ace052330]

You should make more content for enhance or shaman in general. No one covers enhance content at all. Rugz does DK shit. ScottyJ is a Druid main. Crix casters, Sarthe does Hunter and some other melle but no one really covers enhance at all. Would be curious to see some more enhance videos.

[@OuroTtv]

I'm doing the best that I can to create enhance content for wrath of the lich king. I'm new to video production, so it takes me a bit longer than some to create videos, but I do believe that I have created a lot of the guides that you might be looking for in my discord (link in description).

[@RJMacReady1]

very nice video dude, just what Ive been waiting for going into prepatch. The weaving seems really hard to get down tbh, mainly because of the already busy rotation. It seems like something that will really gimp your dps if you havent got it down and mess it up multiple times per fight. You mention three ways to sync weapons, but none of them are the very simple attack macro Ive been using in tbc. Is that because that doesnt work anymore in wotlk or?

[@matthewframpton8737]

Could you share this macro and how you're using it to re-set / sync up your swing timers?

[@kirkebel2194]

Great video, will be practicing lb weaving very shortly.

[@countdowntoclassic]

Great video Ouro, I swung by for the swing timer weak aura which I really needed as I was just playing it by 'feel' at 3-4 stacks, which was a lot harder haha. Thanks!

[@matthewframpton8737]

I was doing this for 3 weeks! It was pretty unreliable and I probably cost me as much DPS due to cancelled swings as it gave me with additional LB casts. This Weakaura is a life-save! But the rotation is still so busy that it's really rare for me to be able to Weave reliably on active fights.

[@Carnezz]

How much DPS do I lose if I don't synch my weapon swings? Running 2.6 MH and 2.5 OH

[@iqbalprayudha8605]

Not much if you dont weave. But you will lose some OH swing if you try to weave with unsynced weapons. Also, not weaving by itself is around 200 dps diff compared to weaving. 200 out of 6k-7k dps mind you.

[@rwrddlr7449]

Seems like the idea is broken with t10 set 4 bonus.

[@loves2spooge93]

You can also summon a non-combat pet to sync

[@cococock2418]

Is there any other way now that some time has passed to sync weapons besides noggenfogger or feral spirits? What about the tbc enhance macro?

[@Kirbstompd]

Does the tbc sync macro not work for wotlk?

[@OuroTtv]

Getting your weapons lockstepped using that macro is a challenge. It is fine at slow weapon speeds; however, as you get more haste, you want the weapons lock stepped for a better chance of not clipping.

[@slamspam]

just an idea, not currently playing wow to try it. would swapping ur weapons sync their swing timers? like "/equipslot 16 17"

[@matthewframpton8737]

As Shamans get most Haste (and Crit - leading to 100% flurry up-time), the window for Weaving presumably gets smaller & smaller. I like how this rewards better players and I think it's great game design. But is there a point where we hit a "Soft Cap" for haste, after-which it's less practical to still Weave and maybe something like Crit / ArPen / AttkPwer becomes more valuable to us as a stat? (Also - Does ENhance EVER want to stack ArPen or is it just a dead stat for us?)

[@aaronneal7099]

from what i understand about armorpen is that it scales poorly as enhance due to the fact alot of our damage is spell damage.

[@AZestyM]

FROM MEMORY. In ICC we avoid ArP for more beneficial stats, we do benefit from it, but at a reduced rate as Matt stated previously. By the end of the game the 3 stats we want is AP HASTE CRIT, because it all comes down to getting more maelstromprocs which procs T10 AP bonus

[@NorwegianQvirr]

At least in Tbc Sulfuron Slammers did the same thing, didnt change ur character model, but makes you drunk so..

[@Saampson85]

Great job! I am very excited to play Enhance. The rotation has been so fun to learn. You have helped me in my journey.

[@freezee-y4x]

if using 5 charge maelstrom proc resets your swing timer, could you not also use that to align your weaponswings occasionally?

[@jonatkinson108]

Bruh, what you said about people getting triggered for saying "Spellhance" on the shaman discord is so true. Its annoying trying to look through information in order to better yourself/play and have to sift through all that crap. Will most definitely be checking out your Discord.

[@JuryDuty666]

Probably already know but Snakeweaving for wep sync is the easiest, easy to macro into anything u want

[@etmk7653]

Gretchen Video the best on yt ty man!!! Know i understand the swingtimer 😁

[@Aubatron]

Do feral spirits scale with haste? Can you snapshot them? I assume not but wasn’t sure.

[@Crystalphoenix9]

This would work with a 2 hander then as well right? Should help gap how much damage is lossed by not using 2 weapons

[@SMPLE-ce8yf]

So... If my weapons have the same speed. Do i need to LBweave?

[@iqbalprayudha8605]

Yes, the whole point of having same speed in this xpac is to make weaving easier. If you dont weave, you dont really need to sync.

[@AmpedIcky]

@@iqbalprayudha8605 Not true. You would still always want to sync regardless of LBweaving because it causes you to use only one flurry charge as opposed to two. This is low hanging fruit for dps increase without really making it harder at all. LBweaving ONTOP of this is another, separate, dps increase but requires more decision making in your rotation

[@hycerze9465]

Hey there, can't see the info on your discord, what are the best professions for enh sham in pve ? Thanks !

[@cococock2418]

If implementing lb weaving, doesn't this essentially mean we will almost never be using lava lash since weaving is a higher prio than lava lash?

[@nosleeveproductions]

Lava lash is lasht resort

[@NorwegianQvirr]

Thanks man! Been watching vids of u before but this earned a sub! :D

[@francoislecocq9673]

is this doable with different speed weapon does weekaura adapt and still show you if you can make it in time without reset auto?

[@jambajuice2408]

Guys Spellhance shamans fuckin wreck in wrath.... you don't need to min max like this. Just nail ur rotation. Spellhance is already more complex than most classes. This is why I quit playing classic and moved to warmane. We don't raid log..... parse... or care about mid maxing. Content isn't difficult. Have fun! Don't make it a job

[@Seb23412]

Best comment ever!

[@iqbalprayudha8605]

If you like doing it, it's actually fun. Kinda like totem twisting in tbc. It sure feels like a job if you dont like it. It's so satisfying pulling a 10k LB crit out of 3 maelstrom stacks.

[@snigelsallad]

sure you don't need to but once you are very comfortable with your normal rotation without weaving, why not learn it? Its fun to try and perfect it imo

[@FrenziedNarwhal]

Yo Ouro, I think using a bandaging also resets swing timer too. Still checking it out though. Little easier to get over noggenfogger.

[@nickllamas3720]

What is the Shamn Discord Info: please

[@armygrunt2070]

do i use flametongue weapon on both weapons?

[@Takujaki]

More lb/cl casts means spellhance benefits more from this than the other enhance variations :D

[@jessehutton6986]

do we want to be casting flame shock and fire nova in the spell weaving window aswel. or is this only relevant for Lightning bolt?

[@TurboNemesis]

Flame Shock, Earth Shock, and Fire Nova are instant cast and therefore do not reset the swing timer. Only spells with a cast time affect swing timer.

[@franciscomenaespinosa333]

i thought this was removed for wotlk??

[@MasonsMotorworks]

Hey man! Enjoying the videos!! I have a question of what the buffs come up on some of the attacks. There was a sword looking temporary buff and then one with a blue illidan face that was temporary. There was also a flexing arm. I know it’s lvl 80 trinkets but was curious what they were

[@billienomates7100]

Meteoric Whetstone and Mirror of Truth.

[@vacuuz]

Will miss learning from you. Learned a lot listening and tuning in on your streams while playing enhancement through all of TBCC. Unfortunately I'm rolling priest for wrath

[@InsainBrain2]

isnt the weapon sync makro a thing anymore?

[@Seb23412]

In TBC you was able to weapon sync with a macro that will stop focus - start focusing again /start attack. Check out sham weapon sync videos there is a good one that explain everything about weapon sync and macro to use it.

[@cococock2418]

He obviously knows about that bozo. We're no longer using WF/WF.

[@gS-eh2ni]

@@cococock2418 Did you watch the vid, bozo? Go to 5:20. He lists off 3 ways of syncing your weapons -- not mentioning the sync macros from TBC -- and asks if anyone is aware of another way to sync your swing timers.

[@cptvtd-gg]

So spellhance is a bit like a new seal twisting pally. You track your timer and hit the buttons at the right time. Sounds awesome

[@thefilth7368]

It's infinitely more complex than a twisting pally. You're pretty much GCD capped before even beginning to weave.

[@richardcarter3181]

How did you get your swings synced immediately?!

[@cococock2418]

He literally said it. Feral spirits/noggen fogger.

[@K1NOtv]

awesome video, thanks a lot for sharing that.

[@graceybfrg]

Is that Maelstrom tracker with blue boxes included in the swingtimer WA? can't find it.

[@OuroTtv]

I have all of my weak-auras available in my discord. discord.gg/d7rTSxMUst

[@graceybfrg]

@@OuroTtv ok so it is separate, good to know! Love your work 🙂

[@janakipejov3667]

Is it time to reroll to enha monkaHmm

[@ewave9643]

Is there any way to get a link to your weakauras? I like the way your UI looks

[@ewave9643]

Lmao I press enter comment and then hear you tell me about your discord. Ty sir

[@gerrieherwijnen1088]

What Addons u got ?

[@BraxtonSato]

Great guide! Thank you for sharing this information

[@mea_9953]

Nice video buddy. Much love

[@Leeleet1234]

Awesome vid!

[@philip73lol]

but how does this increase dps vs just using it instantly at 5 stacks? I guess since you get more casts per fight? or what

[@kniesehne]

If you think about it a little bit, what this means is that instead of getting an instant cast at 5 stacks you get an instant cast at 2 stacks.

[@enslavedslair4677]

The reason it increases your dps is you get more swings / Meeles therefore increasing your throughput. You don’t spell the global on the spell you swing directly after it. This adds up significantly in an encounter.

[@Alex-cp8du]

Awesome

[@lookherelooklisten3078]

Dope

Thumbs up!
