Enhancement S4 | M+ & Raid Guide | Everything You Need To Know

[@YaBoySquints]

I hope that my season four guide prepares you to dominate the final season of Dragonflight! One small note on an error I noticed in my edit. In your opener for AOE if you proc Hot Hands and have to Lava Lash weave you will want to Lightning Bolt first not Frost Strike. Just bump Lightning bolt to the front and move the other abilities down one. Apologies for any confusion!

[@OokilliesTV]

This has to be one of the best if not best videos of a detailed guide I have ever watched (I watch a lot of guides as a new player). Super clear and concise followed with a nice skill rotation demonstration. I am so thankful that YT algorithm brought me here. I am sharing this with all of my discord buddies who are die hard enhance players (they cry every day about the loss of titan grip). That dps shits on mine as a ret paladin player and they claim Enhance can't keep up! Well done!

[@YaBoySquints]

This made my day! Glad you enjoyed it! Enhancement is my favorite spec to play, hopefully this helps your friends keep up with ya!

[@Broxgard]

This is the best rotation guide ive seen so far. Thanks man !

[@LukeE78]

Thanks for the guide. I have decided to give enhancement another go after 10 years of playing resto. It was lots of help.

[@shiinkiicker]

I just made a shaman. This video helped. My buttons make slightly more sense.

[@zoom8772]

Best class(spec) guide I've seen in a while. Seriously this deserves so much more views Are you planning on doing ones for more specs?

[@YaBoySquints]

Thank you! Every season there will be 1-2 additional specs.

[@nohbdyz3]

Good stuff. Just wanted to mention that in AoE if you get Hot Hands it's good to tab target and lava lash as many targets as possible to get the increased damage from Flameshock as long as they're going to live for a bit.

[@lindseyalbert6536]

Awesome guide! This was seriously helpful, thank you!!

[@x3n3mYx100]

Awesome guide and video! Very helpful thanks much

amazing video, i saw many videos, but i don't understand anything, but this is great. Greetings from Bolivia.

Glad I could help all the way from California!

[@njavrg.9100]

I’m happy I caught this video on accident my brother is testing out ench as we speak and I’m sort of a theory crafter myself, I have had multiple rank ones on realms using unconventional talents and gears etc. maybe you’d like to test it out? We went with thorim’s instead for m+ dropping frost shock and blizzard entirely and using fire nova instead while moving talents around. The basic premise is ascension plus lighting dogs plus your tier set bonus gives you increased nature damage so your chain lightings and regular lighting bolts hit harder than a bullet train! Please give me some feedback if you test it out coz that would be awesome, and in case you want the full string to try just let me know I’ll have that for you!

[@YaBoySquints]

Send me the import code. I'm a little confused about what you are trying to do. This sounds like a Storm fire nova build but it's a Elementalist fire nova build? The issue with Fire Nova is it may perform well in AOE by a little, it falls flat in ST damage. Which is something Enh can excel at in M+ compared to other specs.

[@njavrg.9100]

@@YaBoySquints BcQA7dFHISiZRvWu4x4NMgmZAIRSaRSCJSIHgUQJRAAAAAAAAAAAAAaJBCJapAi0kkWAlSQEaIB I might have not made my self clear, we dont use elemental blast, the main focus is ascendance and getting nature damage increases from feral wolfs by either using spirit or primordial wave, if 2 nature dogs proc alongside ur wave from the set peice your nature damage goes off the roof with both chain lighting and lighting bolt, its really fun to play and low skill ceiling makes it easier to hit the highest amount of dps you can do. the nova works best here because we dont wanna overload the amount of buttons to click & its easier to generate stacks

[@njavrg.9100]

@@YaBoySquints BcQA7dFHISiZRvWu4x4NMgmZAIRSaRSCJSIHgUQJRAAAAAAAAAAAAAaJBCJapAi0kkWAlSQEaIB So this is the string, let me first say I might not have worded things right the first time but the whole premise is ascension + its upgrades makes u do so much more nature damage with nature wolfs when they proc, if u get 2 nature wolfs from spirits that 20% each + 20+ from tier set bonus which is significant enough, in aoe it excels more than the standard build and nova is great at huge pulls plus easy generation of stacks of windfury! please test it out and let me know what you think!

[@Forsaken1XX]

OMG, my man, you are a true hero and the greatest life savor. Love you, keep going and I would love to play with you as well.

[@zekkelund]

Hi. Great guide! Is it an add on or weakaura showing you current dps?

[@YaBoySquints]

That is apart of Details as well you can find it by typing /streamer

[@Jarnis-v1c]

Why don't you target swap to spread the lashing flames debuff from the lava lash to all targets in AOE rotation?

[@YaBoySquints]

You can do this! This is usually something I worry about in smaller pulls since it’s easier to manage.

[@Drack093]

I really hope they make some changes in TWW for enhance, I miss stormstrike spams and being more lightning based.

[@florinbaston3742]

Hi, thanks for the video. Just hit 70 on my shaman and this helped me understand the rotation a bit more, was a bit confusing. May i ask what weakaura are u using?

[@YaBoySquints]

Grats on 70! The WA I am using is Luxthos class WA. He makes great WA for all classes. www.luxthos.com/shaman-weakauras-for-world-of-warcraft-dragonflight/

[@WIFFKING542]

Love the guide, question about food in raid. My friends always have feasts with primary stat, do I still run medley or just use feast?

[@YaBoySquints]

You can always use feast! Primary stat is always good 👍

[@PhrozenOrb]

Which is the #1 mythic+ build that you use all the time?? You shared a whole bunch but I dunno which one to use

[@YaBoySquints]

In the description it would be M+ base. Everything else are adjustments you’d make when you’re more comfortable with the spec OR for certain affixes.

[@Nervological]

Why do you need to have both charges to use elemental blast? Why not use it twice then do lightening bolt?

[@YaBoySquints]

@@Nervological Elemental Blast is heavily buffed by your elemental feral spirits. You get the most damage out of elemental blast when feral spirits are out. Because of this you ideally should always get two elemental blast off during your feral spirits window. If you cast elemental blast twice with two charges up outside of your feral spirit window you won’t be able to get two off during feral spirits. Just because of how the timing of CDs works. That’s why you only cast it when at two stacks outside of the feral spirit window. Hope that makes sense and clears it up for you! Let me know if have anymore questions!

[@MASmeinezeit]

Hi, First of all, great video. I am just getting back into enhancement and I played quite some resto this addon. But can me someone explain why I should pick Totem projection? Back in the days when we had 4 totems I understood that concept but now I dont see the point of relocating my totems. Even as heal where I got quite some totems compared to enhancement I never picked that talent. Am I missing a point here or is this pure preference?

[@YaBoySquints]

Hey 👋 For enhancement it pairs great with Windfury Totem. You can macro Totem Projection to Lava Lash or Stormstrike so WF totem is always with you. Totem Projection is off the GCD by the way. You can also use the ability to relocate your speed totem to get more up time on the speed boost or use it to move cap totem (if your running double cap) to stun different enemies. Hope that gives you some insight into how to use it. GLHF! 😄

[@MASmeinezeit]

@@YaBoySquints Thanks for the quick answer :) Sounds interesting to use that. :)

[@Vorius_Shaman]

Really well done video

[@YaBoySquints]

Thank you!

[@vincentle5213]

Great vid! Followed 💪

[@achilles4856]

Great video. Just wondering if we ever use ele blast in aoe for the stat buffs?

[@YaBoySquints]

You can with feral spirits out and at two stacks of elemental blast. Only use when at two stacks though and just fire off one. If there is a target you need to burn down quickly or funnel damage into during AOE pulls you can spend maelstrom as if it’s a single target encounter. For example this is very useful in BRH and ULD on the council fights to help keep bosses HP even.

[@jetillian]

You would still hit Lava Lash (with Hot Hands) regardless of Maelstrom capping after Primordial Wave and not just send Lightning Bolt afterwards?

[@YaBoySquints]

Yes! Reacting and hitting Lava Lash as soon as hot hands procs allows you to get 4 cast of it off instead of 3. You ideally always want to get 3-4 cast off.

[@jetillian]

@@YaBoySquints Alright! Thank you so much for the response! :)

Hi What a godlike video. Thanks a lot sir

[@YaBoySquints]

[@Hell000Kaiser]

Would you pick Nova build in any scenario? Because I used to like that build. But now that I'm back, I see no one uses it...

[@YaBoySquints]

If you enjoy it go for it! It just underperforms in single target but always play what enjoy more.

[@FjUwGameS]

hey! im completely new to retail, is it recommended to roll with the baseline m+ talents or are people expecting more of the support talents?

[@YaBoySquints]

You can roll with baseline talents for M+ to get started. The only thing people will be looking for is for you to help with Incorporeal and Afflicted affixes. Incorporeal you will want Hex on your class tree. Afflicted (this weeks affix) you will want Poison Cleanse Totem and Cleanse! Welcome to Azeroth! Don’t be afraid to ask questions and enjoy the adventure!

[@Sasoripwns]

would it be worth using all of the talents youve linked? or should I make a couple hybrids. Or could I just go overkill and make 1 talent tree per dungeon.

[@YaBoySquints]

You can get away with just the Raid Talents and M+ Base talents. Just make sure to adjust your class talents accordingly depending on the affixes, for example this week is Afflicted make sure to pick up Poison Cleanse Totem and our Cleanse. Once you’re comfortable with the spec and want to min mix your utility to support your group you can then add loadouts for individual dungeons or swap talents around for what is needed.

[@PuertoRick]

@YaBoySquints is the storm build viable in raid and in m+ in season 4?

[@YaBoySquints]

I’m always an advocate to play what you enjoy! Lava Lash performs better with this tier bonus. Storm builds do work though. Fingers crossed that Stormbringer hero talents bring it back! Lava lash has been fun but I want my carpal tunnel from Stormstrike spam.

[@simonlardin2712]

I wondered : why did u use totemic displacement during your AoE rotation ??

[@YaBoySquints]

It’s macroed to my lava lash and Stormstrike since it’s off the GCD. I have it that way for when I have to use WF totem.

[@itsharambee3379]

my aoe opener is totally different from yours, I use Primordial Wave into Lava Lash into Lightning Bolt (sometimes even Lava Shock on a target that didn't got the spread of all possible Lighning Bolts) and like this I get my haste buff way faster than yours, I think you should capitalize getting your haste buff as soon as possible so you can get more damage plus you help yourself get all the cds for the next pack of mobs.

[@YaBoySquints]

Your way is also correct! I like to do crash lightning before lava lash to benefit from the buff allowing that lava lash to hit all targets. Just a little extra damage before sending the lightning bolt. We build maelstrom so fast in AOE fights that your CDs will basically always be reset before the next pull. The one GCD of crash lightning before the lava lash doesn’t throw that off.

[@jorgesk8iqq]

ty a lot hope u make it for warwithin

[@user-hk5lr6gn3m]

i looked at the aoe rotation, and instantly remembered why i play frost dk
