Enhancement Shaman Complete Preview - Legion

[@ABonafideSkeleton]

That trade chat though: "What rogue talent is the strongest now?" "The reroll talent." Ouch. *Hugs my assassination rogue closer*

[@Xarca]

Rogues are parsing really high don't worry about it.

[@iCraftix]

Assassination rogues are op actually

[@blackyvertigo]

assassin rogue top single target dps in the game in beta atm. you have nothing to worry about.

[@KarinaVeiga16]

Do you guys watch the same videos as i do? Preach says not to worry about numbers in every single video lol. THEY'RE NOT FINAL, THE BEST SPEC IN LEGION COULD BE THE WORST IN LIVE AND VICE-VERSA

[@Xarca]

+Mc Bin Laden it won't be that dramatic. Blizz has said that much.

[@HavocHounds1988]

The Fury of Air staying on forever while you are in ghost wolf is due to an artifact perk that makes you continuously generate maelstrom while in ghost wolf.

[@NineTailedGamer]

"This spec is global cooldown locked, and I hate that." You main a Prot warrior...

[@JoshuaRAWRR]

Yeah I lol'd at that, devestate spamming isn't GCD locked preach?

[@Preachgaming]

and its not an aspect of it I like, what I do like is the mobility, the defensive choices, the abilities themselves and rage mngmt. It massively outweighs the gcd lock.

[@patricksheehan43]

I mean you can like and main a class and still not like something about it... you don't have to like everything about a character to play it

[@wmen48]

Or Fury with Furious Slash spam.... BTW Preach when fury is coming?

[@Totiszka]

he already made the fury warrior video

[@1lichfield]

Preach, loving the big trouble in little China clip!

[@oskarbenjamin3665]

ruined by the emo music afterwards though :P

[@set2500]

how was that emo? don't try and be edgy.

[@acolyte_]

+Punkhair is chill step considered emo music now? Fuck me i guess its time to start cutting

[@oskarbenjamin3665]

I'm sorry, but it sounded totally like an evanescence or something like that :P

[@acolyte_]

Punkhair no Evanescence is the "WAKE ME UP INSIDE" song m8

[@alfredbjorkmanmusic519]

I was sceptical at first but now enhancement looks like so much fun :)

[@MadeAirbreak]

I have been waiting for this video for months. Exciting!

[@SK4R1337]

Electric Heart from Anevo Feat. Ameria if anyone is looking for the intro song

[@lordsugar1500]

Thank you very much!

[@ramdhal]

You are the real MVP!

[@felixneijzen5250]

+Preach Gaming, the "bug" with ghost wolf and fury of air where it lasts forever is actually a 1 point perk on the Doomhammer where you generate 15 maelstrom every second you're in ghost wolf form. Fury of Air costs 5/s, perk generates 15/s, you see where this is going. Actually there seems to be a general trend in these overviews where you ignore the rest of the artifact and only read those big juicy golden dragons, not saying all of them are super impactful but those normal 1-pointers can sometimes be interesting to keep in the back of your head. Other than that, keep making these, they're totally great!

[@orniky]

Finally! Been waiting for my Main spec! thanks preach :D

[@ZeriocTheTank]

The intro song is Electric Heart by Anevo ft. Ameria

[@Lenglogs]

I love Big Trouble in Little China and i love that you use it. Kudos from a longtime fan preach!

[@tremonray2483]

Definitely going with this over Windwalker, I absolutely love the talents, synergy, animations, and doomhammer skins. I do miss some of the old stuff but I think they've done a good job with this spec, it looks like a lot of effort was put into it.

[@patrykloda6345]

Going to be maining this in Legion as it looks really good and fun to play! Shaman's have always been a weak spot of mine!

[@andrewzhoe]

Ascendance still turns you into a fucking hobo. Why blizz, why.

[@Xarca]

Look a little closer at it. It looks like a lightning shark more than a hobo up close.

[@gOBSTONE]

I mean, you can glyph that on live, and I doubt that's changing

[@jodyboles8208]

What kind of hobo looks like that? Haha

[@viewtifullyvon6465]

8 years and we’re still a fucking hobo lmao

[@andrewzhoe]

@@viewtifullyvon6465 bro i gave up

[@mastermortie7901]

I'm loving the look of this and may try Shamam for once, Keep up the good work Preacher😀

[@stevenw5255]

Getting really pumped for Legion! Hope I have time by Aug. 30th to have a leveling spree at launch

[@101slickbilly]

i have not even got more than 11 seconds in to the video and i love it all ready!!

[@Endtimescoming]

I am well pleased with the scene from Big Trouble in Little China at the beginning. Great movie.

[@danielwells1734]

It's been quite fun playing this on the Beta. More so than a BM Hunter which I've mained since MoP. The latter is powerful for sure, but kinda dull. The former though gets all the toys; neat visuals, an iconic artifact, and one of the coolest order halls in the game. Enhancement may be the way to go for me in Legion. Cheers for the video, Preach.

[@swest3731]

Voodoo totem only helped as my random "Oh crap, run away, not gonna live through this" until they were immune to hex...

[@inevitability6587]

Oh no, Empowered Stormlash is the modern Curse of Elements!

[@retaeiyu6337]

It's the enhance shaman's damage though. It doesn't really buff the other person like you would think. It scales off the shaman's stats and shows up as their damage in logs. Also as a side note it only does a set amount of damage no matter what, you can attack 400 times in the 10s window or only once at the very end and it does the same damage overall.

[@HyperKrelle]

having a lot of casting and many cooldowns is s real drag for me, so having enh shaman being all out global CD is downright amazing, there will not be a moment were i'm not pressing a button on my keyboard, and when you are using hero/bloodlust you really feel the hast making everything even faster and i absolutely love that part of the enh shaman

[@michaelgerzen6508]

Love that movie in the intro...takes me back.

[@AngeloWoW]

Lmao, nice video! Enhancement looks seriously fun, not gonna lie!

[@ProstyValacuga]

I've been waiting for this!

[@kokichiouma297]

finally was waiting for this enhancement looks fun both in pvp and pve

[@michaelcoffey498]

Big trouble in little China and Mortal Kombat to start :) you had me at hello Preach. Epic!!

[@amphem]

This video made me subscribe, thank you for all your content

[@malosky8087]

as main of enhan since vanila ....... i think they screwd it up ... sure it looks flashy , but still

[@mRudie1318]

Typical KZbin comment. Your rebuttal to an almost 30 min video of someone explaining very clearly, the pros and cons of a class is, "sure it looks flashy, but still." At least give ONE single legitimate reason to support your opinion. I'm not saying your opinion is wrong by the way, i'm just saying it should come with examples.

[@malosky8087]

XD am i in nazi germany now ? lol jk, id say on a personal opinion, it plays more slower in a scene that u are now w8ing on a proc to do max damage.... and why remove cool totems from the spec, like cmon XD

[@strika2000]

"Ehancement"?

[@TheBigHunger70]

Ancement, eh

[@davidbrkic5548]

Yeah, Ehancement shaman mate. The spec where you get Doombringer.

[@svart_kors]

yeah, that's correct, it's a Canadian Shaman :P

[@Thrashlock]

With well-known abilities such as Sorrystike and Feral Moose, or Lumberjack Lash and Maple Bolt.

[@BigMacForce]

xDDDD so glad im canadian and maining a shaman this expansion

[@stjimmypirate23]

NOOOOO Preach you cant go on holiday. I need the healer class comparison video haha. Thanks for these videos though, I really cant go anywhere else for such an in depth look

[@gregorbasse]

Finally! Looking forward to getting all those small buffs management. I love sustained dps playstyle more then bursty.

[@maggic1989]

Was waiting on this video so long... :P gj

[@DuduDruidDotCom]

I wish that the old Winfury Tornado effect was still present. It was one of the things that got me to play Shaman in the first place.

[@DanceHallGooniesz]

Rerolling cuz its gone. dont give a fuck about the numbers.

[@tarvox14]

As a main enh, I must say I'm quite happy with the changes to talents from the first legion iteration. They made a lot of talents desirable, while I would have just skipped over them without a second thought before. Cant wait to test it out fully in the prepatch

[@ChaosturnMusic]

technically you should fill your empty GCD's with lightning bolt if you take boulderfist, so only if you take boulderfist coupled with overcharge are you not GCD locked

[@lyshote4537]

I played with it when the PTR came up and I agree i hardly ever had to use rockbiter. I imagine once I get doomwinds I'll be using lava lash more often to dump maelstrom.

[@henrywesterman493]

Preach, was the permanent Fury of Air on the 110? If so, ask them about their artifact unlocks. One of the artifact talents is Maelstrom generation while in Ghost Wolf (which is cool for movement fights)... but, you generate more in Ghost Wolf than Fury of Air consumes. So it's possible to basically keep it up infinitely without doing anything (so weird). Either way, between this spec and restoration, thanks to some time on beta, think I found my main. Can DPS or heal as the raid needs and look badass while doing so (without losing my cool xmogs).

[@Amplifymagic]

Looks cool sheathing the off hand weapon on the hips while spellcasting, it would look weird if it constantly disappeared.

[@JarredWK]

Love your videos man keep it up!

[@rubencastirider]

in 2:04 wich addon des he say that everyone use? i dont get it somethin like squa.....

[@ferredhaese5496]

I''ve been maining enhanc shaman a while now and this looks so so much more fun than the current spec

[@Grimorse]

@preach Voodoo totem might help to CC entire packs of trash mobs on speed runs, yeah? Also, if you were testing on a 110 with the spectral recovery Doomhammer perk, you generate 5 maelstrom per sec while in ghost wolf form. Which would lead to a neutral maelstrom flow and leave fury of air up permanently.

[@eriklofving9972]

hey preach great vid as always! could u later on do a vid on what class you probably are going to play and why? thx ^^

[@mrblackroc1807]

So 12 hrs away from the launch, canot decide between my Enh Sham (been playing it since BC) my Fury warrior and DK (i like all 3 specs).

[@samcorey9975]

I actually think some special attention is deserved by Alpha Wolves (one of the artifact traits). It causes your feral spirits to cleave all nearby targets for 10sec when you use crash lightning, effectively turning Feral Spirits into an AoE dps cool down, something I'd think you would consider a worthy game play change since it could allow for more thoughtful setup.

[@alexandercollins1390]

PreachCon HUGE SUCCESS!!!!

[@Joeyfield0]

I'm only commenting so when I login, I can see the song. I'll watch this later, I swear. Electric Heart by Anevo ft. Ameria

[@zeuel]

I kinda like the concept of Empowered Stormlash. In this upcoming expansion I wanted more of a support/dps spec as something much less stressful than the main tanking heroics/off tanking mythics I was doing in WoD. I like that I can help my friends with both Rainfall and Empowered Stormlash without having to roll a full on healing class.

[@michaelhand4246]

Voodoo Totem is AWESOME for leveling 100-110. If you over-pull mobs you can reduce incoming damage by hexing multiple mobs

[@andrewross5454]

Fuckin Mike.. these intros dude.. Thank you for what you do so naturally mate. Well funny, Well tasteful.

[@richardjones8846]

boulderfist basically turns enhancement into a fury warrior. it's bloodthirst. the earthern spike you will be able to spam stuff into with later gear, or save up procs to use it rather than just use it when it's up. windsong+doomwinds+ancestral is A LOT of fucking attack speed and maelstrom stacking. you can pair it with spike instead of ascendance to make for better output overall vs immediate burst. that being said tho... nearly every raid boss in legion prefers burst windows instead of overall gains. tons and tons of doing nothing and then boom you can finally do stuff and look... a free bloodlust, or boss takes extra dmg, or you do extra dmg. ect. cenarius is one of the fights where burst is appreciated with how badly you can get fucked by thorns and leaving the adds alive.

[@viktormickos6862]

I think the "neverending Aoe wind" in ghost wolf was due to the passive gain maelstrom in ghostwolf Perk from the artifact?

[@Rubeus_Zukovsky]

Hopefully the new way they made the Enhance shaman will pull me back to the game. WoD killed it for me, and they removed one of my favorite spells from MoP (Unleash Elements-static shock OP), and I CAN'T believe they made Ascendance, one of their BASELINE spells into a fucking talent, and gimping their survivability a bit but o well. Also MoP was probably my favorite version of Enhance. But watching you do this Preacher it makes me kinda wanna play Legion. =D Thx for showing me my favorite class/spec still might be fun to play.

[@Visteus]

The thing I believe you're missing with the Earthen Spike is that it increases ALL physical and nature damage the target takes; this means that's 10sec of 10% increased damage for many classes. Less of a personal buff but likely pretty good in a high-end raid scenario

[@badgermcwaffles4834]

Thank you, at the very beginning, for talking about "the best" and "numbers" cause i have literally watched your video, went to another site and BAM all the stuff you were talking about? half the dmg or heals as before rofl and people freak out and its like "guys, its beta calm your pants!"

[@Archigosai]

i waited so long for this

[@curtissmith8974]

hey dude what is the intro song? it's wicked!

[@BrendanOriginal]

I miss the old windfurry animation lol

[@FrostyJ85]

Has Preach gone on a long holiday? Does anyone know if he gave a time for when the Melee DPS Comparison was coming out?

[@Ecrious]

Voodoo totem allows you I think to pass trash packs without gaining aggro. might be awesome in mythic+

[@jamessalvatore7054]

Preach. Can you do a complete preview on the Prot war at some point ?

[@TheVurian]

I was really impressed with this.... and then I saw that shadow priest and was like 0_0. Whelp I am happy with my initial pick of a Priest!

[@dudeyousuckreally]

Seriously preach, stop with that music at the beginning. I feel like I'm watching a gopro skateboarding video from 2006.

[@Gewsfrahba]

its a meme u dip

[@warkoto4919]

lol nothing wrong with intro music, skip it if you dont like

[@AndrewO83]

Clicking ahead in the video is hard I heard.

[@purpletoad6609]

woohooo nobody gives a shit.

[@superhetoric]

gopro in 2006? uhhhh

[@adamsondice5124]

Friend, what addon are you using for the bars with the health and power that are displayed under your character ? I have seen this on many of your videos. I simply cannot find it. Thank you

[@bobnewkirk7003]

Preach, I think the Ghostwolf "bug" you talked about with Fury of Air is from an artifact perc that gives maelstrom per second while in GW form. If it stays it could be crazy for farming.

[@madara657]

Hope Preach makes more videos without worrying about quality

[@Tenkurel]

A Gap closer! Stop tempting me to come back Blizz. Stop.

[@retaeiyu6337]

No ranged slow though, or root.

[@mrheartbane]

Earthgrab totem, lightening surge totem?

[@marxman6896]

It's actually the worst gap closer in the game. It's very slow movement and has no snare or root component, so charging a moving target is fairly useless. Also keep in mind Enhance has zero ranged snares, so staying on target can be quite difficult in PvP I imagine.

[@mrheartbane]

Prob going to have to use feral lunge with hailstorm frostbrand but yeah after that ur in trouble 😂. Im not fussed as pver though but i can see how people would be worried about being kited, rip frost shock

[@Xarca]

30%movement speed w/unlimited duration+ a sprint+frost brand and a placeable stun/root. Yeah okay it will stay on target fine. Oh and ascendance makes you auto at ranged turning frostbrand into a ranged slow.

[@FennecWolfV]

Voodoo totem would maybe be handy for raid CC? That way you dont need a ton of people CC'ing different targets?

[@Squizzel]

When I started back in TBC my main was Enhancement I then switched to to Elemental but I may switch back!

[@AzureRoxe]

This spec seems to have the capability to fill up your screen with particles since so many abilities seem to activate some sort of DoT on the ground, on your weapons and in the sky.

[@OmegaSoypreme]

From the little I've played on the ptr, I fucking love this spec. I'm still not fully decided yet, but this is the front runner to be my main in legion at the moment.

[@camzoman]

Voodoo totem maybe for MC+ dungeons with timer affixes? Potentially gets a whole pack out of the way that you don't need to fight.

[@mattyone78]

Going with the theme, they should change feral lunge so you become a ball or something of lightning, move to the target then re-materialise.

[@dorharp]

Would you say enh shammy is fun at low lvls as well or does it get fun only when you have some more maelstorm to play with? Thinking about rolling one.. Cheers:)

[@hatescreen]

Just as a heads up Crash lightning is a single target increase due to Gathering Storms Artifact trait plus talent Crashing storms.

[@InkDevil999]

Preach the reason you could (probably still can) have Fury of Air indefinitely is because of the Doomhammer trait Spirit of the Maelstrom: While in combat in Ghost Wolf form, you generate 5 (maxed at 15 with 3 points) Maelstrom every 2 sec. Fury of Air spends 5 every second for 10 every 2 secconds.

[@Zer0Hour17]

I'm still so torn on what to play. I've been a pally main since TBC, but I hate the direction they have taken Prot and Holy and while Ret is ok, it's not great. I was thinking Rogue for a bit, but the new spec was a real let down. Now I'm leaning Demon hunter, but it feels like the lack of a 3rd spec may make things boring over the course of a whole expansion. I'm so confused.

[@Muriako]

I suppose I should be glad that the hardest struggle in my life right now is deciding between switching to DK or continuing as a main Shaman in Legion, but damn it this is a difficult decision.

[@Ellais]

There's artifact talent that gives you 15 maelstrom/2 sec if you're in ghost wolf and in combat, that's why you had it permanent propably.

[@DraphEnjoyer]

They should of just taken the risk and made the spec about 2 handers again. They pretty much said fuck it with the off hand anyway so why not?

[@plasticlemons9547]

Woah just got freaked out. The time he's recording is the same time as right now lol

[@dillonolivi5371]

Cool intro man, good change up

[@seiferyentertainment9258]

You get maelstrom while in ghost wolf form and in combat, and you get more than fury of air is spending, so you are in it forever if in combat :D

[@charlesscott1468]

preach, the reason fury of air lasts forever in ghostwolf is because there is an artifact trait that you generate 5 maelstrom per second in ghostwolf and fury of air costs 5 per second so you will be replenishing as fast as it is spent.

[@MrMike11233]

Preach you talk so fast, man. And I'm saying this as a native of New York City! :P

[@Grimmyzchannel]

I have a question here. With windfury proc now being integrated in the mastery does that mean that it no longer has an internal cooldown and you cold have for example 2 or 3 back to back procks? Cheers for the great video preech. :)

[@wiktorrrrr]

Hello Preach! Tell me is there so much difference in enh shaman in legion then sham in pre patch ? I got full hero set up with some mythic item and i just feel nerf to the ground so hard. When on raids i could be in top 3 now i just like 40k dps at best wtf? For now many shaman players will have hard time spamming Rockbiter all day all night just to spend it on lava Lash and storm strike and do jack sh.....

[@xdmnsnx3946]

What addon did he mention at 2:05? Sounds like "sqawk and awe" but ive never heard of that. i see "slamandawe" for warrior, but nothing for shaman. let me know, thanks

[@QuatroXEspada]

Did you do the dungeon on a 110? There is an artifact perk that makes you generate 5 Mealstrom per second while in Ghost Wolf.

[@Cloudfan174]

Does the 10% nature/physical damage of spike boost allied dps as well? Or is it exclusive to the shaman?

[@wrenchgg]

Jack Burton just wants his truck back

[@77naf]

The reason fury of air lasts forever while In ghost wolf is due to an artifact talent. It increases your maelstrom generation while In ghost wolf form.

[@kenthin]

Shieeet dawg. Spec looking good.

[@iceee420]

yo peach put the songs your using in the desription pls

[@frankrossi3524]

Can you explain global cooldown locked? I took the first talent you were talking about, everything is still on the GCD. Did this get changed or am I not understanding this?

[@finnafinatic4442]

I tried with and but it hardly ever gives me the benefit

[@JordanWHuff]

Amazing intro preach. Keep up the great work! Im looking to come back to wow in Legion, havent played since BC, what you thinking about Disc priests? Huge fan.

[@DtownHorrizenBullies]

The intro is a nutshell for shaman

[@cirkasurvive6303]

There is an artefact trait that gives you malestrom generation while in ghost wolf form (I think it's while in combat).
