Wow I've been watching your guides for so long, can't believe I forgot to sub to you. Time to change that

[@EvilAngel6987]

I have raided my enhancement shaman for a very long time. Extremely priority based rotation and i love that its not an easy spec to play. Good video, I have seen many others who apply fs right after ue, however not wrong you will lose dps. Unleash flame buff stays up for a bit, long enough to sneak in a ss and a lb if msw procs.

[@Preachgaming]

as this man said, I wasn't happy with the gameplay i got after i did the edit. I'll get to it as soon as I can. I'm not going to be the best sub rogue ever or anything but I want to put up at least semi decent play

[@zarolly]

Wooooo!!! been waiting for this !!

[@oooboy113]

anyways. hope to hear from ya preach an talk about it some time. ENH FTW!!!!!

[@vash622]

the only thing that i noticed that was wrong was that during 5mans if you choose to use glyph of fire nova and increase the radius to hit more targets thats fine cuz the fire nova is no longer attached to totems like you said it is attached to the target/targets affected by flame shock which as enhancement you spread flame shock to all targets via lava lash unless you glyph for it

[@Salvotation]

in the 'free time' it is best to fire off another searing totem or fire nova just to fill the gcd

[@tubeMasterXxX]

here's the thing.. crit does not become near to useless before the soft cap at 20,5% melee crit.. the reason you wanna have the 20% is so you will have 100% uptime of your fury. after your fury is upp 100% of the time then crit will become to have less value in terms of dps increase.

[@YeeGrizzly]

preach you're the fucking man

[@EveOnlineRanger002]

love to see a vid for 5.3! :D

[@Ravoks]

Great video, however at 11:20-11:35 your are talking about how you should take away from hit. Yet at 11:26 you are rocking a Ghost Iron Dragonling trinket with +600 crit =O. I just thought I found it kinda ironic lol. Keep up the good work on the videos though.

[@Testoodope]

I love Enhancement, I mained in cata, and it hasn't changed AT ALL lol. With the exception of Ascendence, and the different stat priority.

[@Preachgaming]

remember fire nova does nothing to the target you nova from so for single target its not worth it

[@SamChillIams]

Don't want down time? Try this mini combo: drop Maelstrom stacks right before an unleash elements, hard cast elemental blast (it's worth it), que up a flame shock so both benefit from +30%

[@badguysephiroth]

The person in question is thai in origin, but lived in america for 10 years, I am english btw, i used to always say it as shay man, but she said herself, family and everyone she knows who practices called shamanism, says it is pronounced sharman.

[@Phalc0n1337]

I like to either refresh searing totems or throw down a healing stream totem just to help out the ballers, during the down time.

[@logieuk]

Loving Enhanc atm, yes its alot of work but i kind of found a system which has little downtime. DPS wise, in heroics if im not top, im in the top 3 and not far off the top. LFR wise, im normally in 7th-12th range, which im happy with. Never going to be getting DPS like a Fire Mage or Aff Warlock, but its good enough dps to make me feel happy in the class, also the animations are great. Only problem is its alot of focus and effort to keep up DPS, esp AOEing

[@lexguttman]

get ClassTimer addon, its what i use. U need to set a custom filter for it, but just type in "Searing Flame" into the custom filter box. and you're golden

[@oooboy113]

PREACH! I'm currently maining a Enh shammy atm(currently looking for a new guild due to raid time issues) An i noticed you are rating haste and mastery as the same. What i've noticed is that unless its Huge Aoe situations that haste is pulling ahead. Since the changes to flurry. An instead of just gemming straight agi i'm gemming for haste or agi/haste since your gettin double the secondary stat of the main stat. an since flurry effects all haste from items/gear you have.

[@PostHardcoreGamer]

@SnuKdPuzyCruK i dont know how it is in mop but when i played enh in cata healing rain is a nice amount of healing, you can mw cast it in place of an lb and keepit up. i had about 7k hps as enh

[@Venoxisguides]

i await the time when shamans will return to there former glory.

[@pebblerobber]

So far in my findings a playing this class/spec for years it only counts for Flame Shock and Elemental Blast. It has not worked for Lava Lash at all.

[@chandlerzackery6338]

its a glyph that makes "fake" totems (ones that do nothing but look like totems) just a minor glyph

[@iCommentator3000]

Can't wait for Ele/Resto!

[@adambenzin]

hey Mike! love the videos you put up! I have a question. The macro you put on this video for the ascendance/firetotem/feralspirit is not working, any idea how to make it work properly?

[@H.Cook420]

flurry increases haste from ur items by 50% so haste on ur gear buffs ur flurry

[@okayokayokayokayokayokayokay]

I'm here for the accent!

[@tkrog96]

it would be awesome to have the 2handed shaman back...

[@honorknights2008]

question i have enhancement shaman but i having mana problem and dieing alot how do i fix this

[@yukowl]

very useful vids, iv been away 3 years and not got a fucking clue whats going on :) Thanks.

[@sa7el]

it's hard to keep an eye on Searing Flame procs for Lava Lash.. any addon to help with that?

[@jenslopes]

what addons are you using, i would really like the bar on the left that counts down to the next time to cast flame shock.

[@tubeMasterXxX]

WRONG! for the shaman overall is [Totemic Restoration] the only choice for pve. but there is a twist to it. let me explain. for ex: in a 5min fait you can have 120sec uptime of your "fire elemental" and allso you can get more then 1 "healing stream" used in the time of 3 min if you basicly remeber to dismiss the totem in use on exact half the time of the druation.I've done the testing my self and im happy to give the ballers the info that's needed for them to get the max out of the shamans.

[@Leono413]

DANGER: Preach, just so you know, Searing Totem only attacks targets that have Flame Shock on them. I have usually opened with Unleash Elements into Flame Shock, then dropped my Searing Totem. Can either way work, or should I follow your opener with Searing Totem first? Which do you think would be better? (Asking for a second opinion. >.>)

[@cartman1648]

If you don't want as much downtime use SS before LL.

[@duschaenajs]

What is the name of the addon that you are using for enemy healthbars and showing cd:s above them?

[@sheriff1637]

Mikepreachwow when is the best time in pvp to use feral spirit

[@shammyr]

isn't unleash elements+lava lash better than unleash elements+flame shock?

[@aligivesyouwings]

SHAMANS YAY!

[@NothingWurks]

Keep crit and reforge haste! you dont need haste you get Flurry from your melee crits and unleash wind if you got windfury on your MH

[@deweyspaulding7364]

Is there anyway, or someway i can still cast multiple totems at once?? this has really frustrated me...

[@4pipesrlz]

Can you use Ancestral swiftness to insta revive?

[@josephstokes6189]

I know what you mean; why shamans still have staffs in our loot table is beyond me.

[@Trambolin111]

Oh shit seems like you got something wrong there :D My comment wasn't serious in any way. If you look at the comment I replied to you might notice that. I sure understand that by "free time" he meant free time in his rotation but when I read it the image of some dude running down the streets throwing burning totems at people popped in my head and I found that quite hillarious :D And you have to admit that someone running around throwing burning totems IRL would be rather weird. weird =/= bad tho

[@trusheit]

and cast frost shock?

[@G33KST4R]

My word and I thought demo warlocks had a long ass priority list O_O

[@Reddharp]

why do you have crit gear in trinket? no haste gear ?

[@Salvotation]

didn't realise that lol. rarely played enhance though thanks

[@kamma44]

Why would you choose 'Unleashed Fury' at level 90? Enhance nearly always rolls with MH/WindFury & OH/Flametongue. UF boosts 'your Lightning Bolt by 30%'...Enhance Shammies never cast LB, we cast Chain Lightning with our Maelstrom procs. Also, our auto attacks triggering Static Shock is just plain weak...

[@danieltsmoke]

you cast ligntning bolt with your maelstrom procs..its better dps single target

[@Reedyjr]

how do you use your cd's? in what order etc?

[@lexguttman]

what totem timer is that you're using?

[@NikB2VEVO]

i never know if he's saying HALLO IT'S PREACHER or HALLO BALLERS ITS PREACH HERE. which one is it? help me :O

[@TheShiningFire]

How did you call all the totums at once?

[@Venoxisguides]

I know right its so WIN !

[@george421]

What action bar addon do u have ?

[@badguysephiroth]

Actually, I have a person who works for me who IS a follower of shamanism and it is actually pronounced "shar-man".

[@opgreenguy]

He got a ui just look on his channel

[@ravange94]

what addon are you using?

[@metalmilitia89]

Oh Enhancement. Maybe when I level my shaman up to 85 i'll play it. I don't want to try Ele because Im tired of ranged dps.

[@Venoxisguides]

Why ?

[@Gijs101]

tidy plates

[@Stoneageway]

But he loves you =o

[@Ayayron_e3]

i'm pretty sure he knows that he was already talking about single target dps. Lol.

[@michaellebron9425]

What is ur ui

[@kamma44]

Fine...cast LB for your single target boss fight. 80%, no 90%, of the time in 5 mans & raids you will be up against more than one target so to me it doesn't make sense...in addition, auto attacks 'can (not will) trigger Static Shock' is just straight up weak for a lvl 90 spell?!

[@robbmang]

it hits the target the targets in the aoe raidus... -_-

[@Nattekulde]

And you forgot to capitalize the "I" in Internet.

[@MonkeyJazz75]

It's a minor glyph, the extra totems do nothing special.

[@patteole]

Its the same

[@kathuzada41]

Everyone pronounces it differently...

[@hydragaming5322]

then don't watch him everyone that watches him loves him

[@KriegWoW]

Compared to other classes this class is a bitch to play

[@Trambolin111]

You must be one weird person. I usually do stuff like meeting friends, playing video games or listening to music in my free time.

[@TheScrewFan]

top dps in what? not over all top dps

[@LoLSmileyFACE650]

alright i am too busy to continue a useless fight over the internet. lets agree to disagree and leave it at that.

[@Dolphinsz]

So i know your getting married and all.. but why dont you marrie me!

[@stimpack2112]

Sheymen? lol

[@gregthomas8746]

maybe it'll happen when you learn to spell "their"

[@LoLSmileyFACE650]

shar-man?.... really?. i highly doubt he could even recount the shamanistic rights if that is how he pronounces it. and let me guess. you and him are american too. right?. i not only study ancient religion but am a adviser to multiple colleges and am a certified historian. you have a co worker... lets just say i think i have a little weight on you.

[@jondoh289]

ºº™ºº™

[@Phillyfresh209]

i fucking hate adds >.<
