The Underdogs Of Raiding #5 - Enhancement Shaman

[@MyViolador]

as a shaman main it really pissed me off that they gave bloodlust to almost every class.

[@Benzon30]

ikr. that was cruel man

[@SeriousFoxPwnz]

you mean mages and a specific hunterpet?

[@Sean-df3dv]

Drums

[@newtondamon]

the point is bloodlust was shamans thing

[@genertec]

@Noob Master it's not almost every class but EVERY class since u can simply buy bloodlust in form of drums from the auction house.

[@DagothDaddy]

I wish twohander enhancement Shamans come back. I loved the flavor of being this baddass Warrior powered by the elements swinging around a giant hammer. It fit well with Ret Pallys being twohander wielding warriors powered by the light.

[@OrcBit]

Shaman. Best Class.

[@weeabooshunter4759]

*In your opinion

[@orec1424]

no, best class

[@FecalMatador]

Orec in wotlk, it was the best

[@van7915]

Paladin is the best class

[@scratchy996]

As it turned out, every spec I wanted to play in WoW turned out to be a meme spec.

[@aleksadmitrovic6347]

Lol same bro 😂

[@bombatheshaman408]

I mained enhance during vanilla and tbc era, there are couple of things worth mentioning. In TBC, ever since it launched all the way to Black Temple patch, there was a bugg that enabled you to ignore the internal cooldown of windfury, therefore boosting your dps by considerable amount. You see, even though you could dual-wield, you still had that 3 second hidden CD, during which you were locked out of the proc chance, (this existed in vanilla aswell, but only from patch 1,4 or 1,5) BUT, if you would down-rank your windfury spell on the off-hand weapon, while keeping your main hand with highest rank ( like this main hand windfury rank 5, off-hand rank 4) this would override the 3sec cooldown, causing in a dps gain beein alot more then Blizzard had intended, this was actually well known to highly ranked shamans, but virtually unheard of to most 'casuals' and other classes. Obviously, you can't see this on private servers, as they only emulate the 2.4.3 version, as this was to about 2.3.x

[@hermeticascetic]

Yeah I was gonna say my DPS in TBC was way higher with enhance than elem. I was consistently top of the meters without much effort. And then wrath came along and I don't remember much other than being pissed off every patch

[@hermeticascetic]

And I'd regularly run around with a 2h still in pvp wearing just a Santa outfit blowing people up. Good times.

[@kevinbelden]

I remember coming to know this without finding out about it anywhere and watched the numbers grow like “do I want to exploit this glitch?”

[@MrVanhoden]

Hamsterwheel is off so many times. I raided in Kharazan on retail with a lvl 70 troll enhancement shaman and fuck me but bloodlust from the get go buffed the whole raid, it was never limited to your group. See when you're trying to be a past time historian at least get your fucking facts straight. Enhancement shamans were also pretty huge at the beginning of tbc as there was a bugg that allowed you to endlessly procc windfury on itself without any eternal cd if you put wf rank max on your main and a lower wf rank on your off hand. That made quadruple proccs happening and enhancement shamans were actually topping dps charts, being infront of even fury warriors and such. I just generally dislike that even though there is a lot right stuff being said by hamsterwheel it still creates a wrong image. It's cool that you've played on private servers with older patches and raided there but fuck off if you haven't played these times for reals in retail. The private servers I played on where dogshit compared to the real ones. Even the best on private servers where skillless idiots in comparison to the retail servers. When the arena came out there deffo was skill to be found on the retail servers. Imo only guys who wouldn't be taken by high end pvp or pve guilds would end up playing on privates, they wanted it all, success the best gear, name it. BUT they were not willing to put the effort behind it.

[@gammelhund]

Ah, those were the days. Though it was common knowledge on my server (shattered hand EU)

[@hadrianmyers]

Enhancement is indeed an underdog spec and never had extended time in the sun like fire mages or aff locks, but I definitely remember them being extremely scary in Sunwell. I think the highest DPS I saw in TBC was an Enh Shaman pulling ~3400DPS consistently in there, which was astonishing at the time. It's always been an interesting, beautiful, sadly niche spec.

[@hermeticascetic]

Sounds about right. I didn't quite get to fully sunwell geared but I was high 2k, low 3k by the end of TBC. Idk what he's talking about with not being on top. TBC was one of the best periods for enhance shaman

[@mlaurence08]

The death of the support class; thank you Blizzard.

[@kevinbelden]

The beginning of burning crusade was the best time for enhancement shaman, raiding, stability, and versatility considered.

[@bass-dc9175]

One crucial thing you missed: Vanilla respecing. A small tallent in the enhancement tree was 2hand wielding. And no I do not mean being able to wield 2 weaponds. I mean: being able to equip 2 handed axed and maces. Which means: You forget the 2handed Axe and Mace skills as you respec. Meaning: as you spec to a enhancement shaman: relearn the weapon and skill it up all the way. *EACH TIME YOU RESPEC* Which put a MASSIVE cockblock on any shaman even daring to try the enhancement spec.

[@MisterSaturnDX]

@@Navak_ Yes, you absolutely did have to re-level your two-handed weapon skills every single time you respec in Vanilla. I played Shaman through all of Vanilla and lost countless hours of my life to this, and I REALLY hope they don't leave this in for WoW Classic. :(

[@Verrulz]

The problem with dualwielding was that winfury had an internal cooldown, so if your offhand procced your windfury, your mainhand couldnt procc it for a short amount of time. The fact that most offhand weapons were attacking faster than mainhand weapons made it even worse since you obviously want your mainhand to procc windfury. Anyway, BC was a great expansion for enhancement shamans. it was a ton of fun to play it.

[@Walkeraish]

Thats why you went with 2x slow 1handers.

[@hermeticascetic]

Didn't have an internal cooldown if you downranked offhand wf

[@Apemopo]

wasn't there a bug when they first implemented that change that your off hand and main hand weapons had separate cooldowns? i wonder would it have been too imba if it had been that way :3

[@MrMhtmht]

There is simply no better feeling than windfury one-hitting mages and priests in vanilla and bc pvp

[@gammelhund]

I made a draenei shaman first day tbc dropped, played it the whole expansion - it was glorious.

[@jordogey5751]

Can you do feral druid next?

[@samjer]

ohh feral had really hard time for a very long time but it would be fun to see it =)!

[@HamsterWheelGaming]

I already have another spec lined up that I'm working on but don't worry, Feral Druid is definitely on the to do list!

[@emmaaadrdxd8595]

feral druids are not underdogs. many good guilds use ferals as 3rd/4th tank. you have to be pretty clueless to think ferals can't perform considering they outthreat warriors by a TON from aq onwards.

[@zeratulrus142]

nigel, feral is two specs in one though, there are much less cats than there are bears

[@HamsterWheelGaming]

So feral druids are just tanks? They're not kitty dps as well?

[@ExecutusGaming]

I definitely agree with Enhancement being an underdog spec, great vid!

[@peacetreaty86]

As someone who started playing in cata, that was the last time I truly enjoyed the spec. Started playing classic and I’m enjoying the original play style of enhance. I feel like I’m getting in touch with my roots lol

[@cameronsammons8709]

I love your underdogs series!

[@J-Mello]

Enh shaman was my Vanilla Main. It was my favorite by far.. Challenging & fun.

[@Drew57720]

When windfury procced off of itself it was an instant win save for pally bubble

[@andyfranco100]

Watching your underdogs of raiding videos, makes me feel like going back to play in private servers. I miss playing already

[@smithers4420]

I think he is underestimating the dps of a properly geared enh shaman in wotlk? I remember pulling insane numbers with lots of haste and the right weapons/trinkets because of all the on hit effects and instant lightning bolts proccing all the time.

[@hermeticascetic]

At the beginning yeah. Blizzard was constantly nerfing shaman because plebs kept complaining even though it was one of the least represented classes. They mistook knowledge of the class and a firm grasp on rotation and gear requirements as being op. I was constantly pissed off during wrath every time I saw a new set of patch notes.

[@mariolungolov4213]

Can you please revisit the enhancement shaman in wotlk, because the talents and the gear are wrong that you shown!

[@Egregious_]

I'm working on generating a calculator aimed at attributing the presumed increase in DPS from members of a Shaman's party to that Shaman in order dispel some of the pervasive "Enh Shaman are Nightfall bots" prejudice.

[@NeevoA52]

you didnt't mention totem dance at all in tbc? wow.

[@MrUlf1337]

you forgot to mention that winfury could prog of windfury, which was later changed

[@HamsterWheelGaming]

Oh yeah I forgot to put that in, good point!

[@MrUlf1337]

wow i am possitively surprised of your fast reply. really appreciate it :) shows your dedication to your videos and your community

[@Ytinasniiable]

And also in the beginning of BC both weapons could proc at the same time until they added a shared 3 second internal cooldown

[@kevinbelden]

Ytinasniiable both weapons procing at the same time was euphoria

[@olov244]

I know in TBC enhancement was really good for short boss fights, they frontload damage really well. and their rotation is very active, in TBC and WOTLK, if you mess it up your dps drops really quickly - I hear feral druid was similar but with an even crazier rotation

[@pokeyerface]

hey Hamsterwheel , what monitor do you have? I am asking because everytime I watch your videos , your character's movements and spellcasts seem soo much more fluid then mine....

[@ArchangelV11]

You didn't mention arena in wotlk beast cleave, rank 1 teams

[@barneypanofsky1957]

You should have mentioned the insane rotation thay had on wotlk. I mean, it was a pain in the ass just to deal a decent amount of damage.

[@hermeticascetic]

Wasn't at first. It's because they kept fucking with the spec. I remember being constantly pissed off every time they released new patch notes and my buddy rubbing it in my face because he was salty about me getting further raiding during TBC than him.

[@someguy3508]

That insane rotations was what made enha the most fun to play spec. It needed concentration and good response time and it was fantastic. It was similar to elemental in later patches of Legion. It was magnificent

[@hermeticascetic]

@@someguy3508 they kept nerfing enhance every patch during wrath cata and panda

[@someguy3508]

@@hermeticascetic i only played ele after wrath. But shaman was always the most fun to play

[@havarija2075]

the rotation is easy when u figure it out, pure priority spec

[@nelprincipe]

forgot to mention that small time in bc when ppl would spec enhancement for dual wield + elemental for damage only to be able to equip 2 casters main weapon and play as ele. It was overpowered and blizz was quick to nerf not the talents, but change all casters weapons from one-handed to main-handed. fun times tho

[@DrPluton]

I remember reading about that on the forums at the time.

[@eibadjamil1049]

Towards the end of wotlk enh was actually a really strong dps class

[@skater90255]

i dont know, when i played vanilla all the way to wrath my shaman was solid DPS. In vanilla it was a struggle but BC and wrath i had not issues always was at the top. but shrug.

[@jacobk4n3]

Been waiting for this one!

[@gustav-no5ij]

I want to start playing WOTLK. Should I go with Warmane or Sunwell?

[@argusroth3269]

See what I don't get is that Enhancement Shaman was extremely useful to a raid. I was the Nightfall Totem bot for my guild and we made it all the way up to the four horsemen before burning crusade came out. Sure I never came close to top DPS but that wasn't my job, my job was to make sure that Nightfall debuff was on and that I rotated my totem buffs so the actual DPS could do their job better. Not to mention all the other stuff I could do. I think when classic comes out, we will see Horde guilds taking 1-2 Enhancement Shaman depending on how many melee groups there are and at least 2 Resto Shamans in the caster groups because Mana Tide Totem and Chain Heal are fantastic.

[@psychologybear6846]

Unfortunately, shaman nightfall uptime is about half that of ret pallys, and even further behind warriors and melee hunters

[@riklaunim]

As a shaman on pserver I was pretty much needed a lot for totems in melee group. Only once when we had 2 shamans in group for Ossi one shaman was placed in healers group for mana tide totem. Some PUGs or even more serious guild runs place like gear requirements with the exception of Shamans that only requirement is to put a totem and go AFK if they want to :) After getting some ZG and AQ20 gear I had to say bye bye to enhancement for mob farming and stuff out of group content. To avoid constant respecs I made elemental-resto hybrid without mana tide (as I was constantly in melee groups). Surprisingly elemental works quite well on those twilight cultists which most of them are casters or caster shamans and on long range their lightning shield won't trigger (or they don't cast it then?).

[@novat9731]

Classic wow - Why specc the nightfall shaman into enhancement talents? It's better to simply specc restoration, and heal on a swing timer. TBC - Every single hybrid class received some form of group or raid buff, inaccessible to the base class without speccing deep into the talents. Paladin got 3% crit to all DPS in the raid on their judge target and refreshed all judgements with crusader strike. Enhancement shaman increased the attack power of everyone in their group by 10%, every time they crit, while the improved wind fury totem talent returned and was made significantly more powerful. It's funny that you mention warlocks doing more damage. Going a bit more in depth on the subject of TBC warlock damage, you will find that the most optimal way of dealing damage past t4 content is simply spamming shadow bolt over and over. While Enhancement shamans would need to cast storm strike, shock spells put down 4 totems and alternate between agility totem and wind fury totem to maximize personal and group DPS. Meanwhile, Warlocks spamming 1 button over and over beat them. If you're not sure what i'm talking about with alternating totem. The wind fury totem applies a 10 second buff to the weapon of everyone in range, it's possible and optimal to drop wind fury and have it tick once so that the parties weapons are buffed for 10 seconds. Then drop the agility totem for roughly 6-10 seconds, juggling global cool downs on 2 damaging abilities and 2 totems.

[@Reps1991]

I rly have to say that i miss it... when i was raiding with my combat rogue i was so happy when i could have an enhancement in my grp... just all over to keep an eye on " what is the group constelation ...for example that you would do more dmg as a melee when u got a warry tank cause of the armor shred

[@broncojones3146]

I think you should have mentioned one important factor at the beginning of TBC. Before the 3 sec internal cool down for windfury was introduced Enhancement Shamans did insane DPS. With no cool down windfury was able to proc on an exta windfury attack. Sometimes i couldn't see shit because my screen was littered with numbers. Unfortunately the dmg spikes you produced generated an incredible amount of aggro so that for the beginning of Kara it was basically impossible to raid as Enhancement Shaman, since Tanks couldn't handle the aggro. Obviously that was the reason for the 3 sec internal cool down(well they where oneshotting mages/priest in BGs left and right as well).

[@mipmip8]

Enh shamans topped dps on any fights with haste buffs, e.g. Hodir, in WotLK

[@mSeabass]

man looking back i must have been in shit guilds in BC and Wrath cause i was topping charts as enhancement lolol. We were good on our server though.

[@Walkeraish]

Enhance was doing way more than 800dps back in TBC.

[@roguewriting]

@@Walkeraish I agree, I remember doing 1k+ before even starting raids, then once I got the World Breaker (2h) my DPS was ridiculous. I remember burst lady vashj for 12k dps for the first 10-15seconds of the fight and dying an oh so glorious death when the tanks couldn't hold threat.

[@marshallbridgeman]

you'd think enchancement woulda been more popular in vanilla, sense most of its damage is auto attack not spell they'd have extra mana for side healing with their buffs...

[@rzk9995]

I'm currently playing on netherwing and we have enhance shams in our 25 man doing like 1200-1400 dps, not bad at all. Expertise is KEY. ie ( Flesh Handler's Gloves and Clefthoof Hide Leggings )

[@anonimas12]

If only Enh kept the core of its mechanics for legion :/ I can no longer play my former main because of what it has become :(

[@hermeticascetic]

Enhance was actually pretty enjoyable in legion. And it had good damage.

[@MrGoogle87]

Could you explain? I quit playing my shaman main after wrath of the lich king. Maybe there is a video you can reccomend?

[@hvdiv17]

enhancement shaman were so good until legion then bfa just killed them they are getting a re work finally in shadowlands but it has the same issues no defense and its middle of the pact in damage. im so excited to play enhancement shaman in classic tbc when it launches.

[@ryguy108]

Enhancment shaman's in TBC are super gear reliant. They need the dragon strike maces from BS Crafting and then their dps sky rockets, they can easily be top 5 with the right gear.

[@stiglets528]

tbh in retail Enh Shaman it's so rng based (Windfury AND Stormbringer procs) i wouldn't mind having those raid buffs, even if that means i don't get to be top dps or heal be a support class would be really awesome.

Would be fun to see enhance shamans viable with a 2hander again.

[@roguewriting]

There was a point in TBC where I swapped back to 2h, after clearing SSC I picked up the World Breaker... it had a crazy Crit chance proc on it with no ICD (That I could see), and in raids the 2h out DPS'd DW by a ridiculous amount.

[@hermeticascetic]

@@roguewriting because the +hit requirement was lower for 2h. It was still plenty viable in PVP. Honestly it was better in PVP than dw. Plus it freed up talents to move elsewhere.

[@raven_vae]

i used to be a shaman class leader in my guild on Light's Hope. i'm the token enhancement shaman, and i still get whispers from lower level shaman often about how i raid as enhancement and why i'm even allowed to raid with nightfall lol great video, and i really need to know the name of the last song before the outro (for scientific purposes)

[@plussix5517]

Really enjoyed the video mate but you could've not been more wrong according to the damage output in tbc / wotlk - tbc were dominated sure by warriors / mages and warlocks - but during wotlk, this is not the case - people just played the class completely wrong in all possible ways. I've played enhancement shamans since I started playing wow in vanilla. Enhancement shamans can be the top over all other classes if played correctly

[@Epicdps]

Yeah. HW really didn't do the research on the WOTLK parts of this series. Enhancement Shaman is one of the tier 1 dps specs in the final patch of WOTLK that if played correctly will do over 20k dps in ICC just like the ass. rogues, fire mages, fury warriors, marksman hunters and frost dks

[@krowaswieta7944]

Nah, TBC was dominated by Rogues, Hunters and locks. Mages and warriors were no match to them. And guess you did 20k dps as enha on some private server, huh? It just doesnt count.

[@AtrumRes]

It would be so easy to make enhance viable in vanilla and tbc. Just make windfury a higher chance 80-100% or let their windfury/flametounge totems stack with their weapon enchant.

[@Immagonko]

My very first character was ench shaman, good times

[@dominikzvinek2453]

I have a guildie on WOTLK private server warmane who can pull off 12k dps on halion, 15k dps on saurfang with 6.1k gs (no bis trinkets) so i dont agree with your statement that enchantmen shamans didnt do good dps in wotlk.

[@Neran280]

thats true. i went through my old screenshots few month ago and was surprised noticing that enhancer were not that bad at dps during icc content.

[@KimmoKM]

Looking at Worldoflogs top parses from retail averaged from relevant bosses (i35.tinypic.com/2lkqubn.png), enhancement did 75% of the #1 DPS. Given that they also perform worse than MM hunters and Frost DKs that would offer the same buffs, you definitely don't want to have enhancement in a min/max raid, and they're at threshold of being a major liability, especially considering they're also one of the least survivable specs and one of the toughest specs to play to their maximum potential (not a factor for this kind of stats but definitely a factor for most of the raiding population). Interestingly, enhancement did 75% of the personal DPS of legendary-carriers in Sunwell as well. The difference being, of course, that their corresponding raid DPS contribution was ~130% instead 75% (WotLK has no unique buffs besides a pittance of strength from Enhancing Totems so personal DPS is all you've got). Which is a pity since 3.3.5 enhancement is my favorite spec to play in WoW. It's a good mix of offering a more active playstyle while also having the sort of limitations and inconveniences you'd have to work around, characterizing pre-WotLK classes.

[@moyofication]

I pulled 15k at toc25 Valkyrs before even I got my TaJ, I was just nm Bis at that time, raped nearly 3 paladins lol who were doing 12-13k

[@srenclement5781]

Agree .. I had a ton of fun as enhance in WOTLK and did some decent top dps on Yoggy for instance 🙂

[@smallpseudonym2844]

Hint: when trying to sound authoritative on a subject, _at least use the right word._ It's an enhancement shaman. Not a fucking "enchantment" shaman. If you have an enhancement shaman, he destroys people with his big 2h (vanilla) or flurry of 1h strikes. If you have an "enchantment" shaman, he's DEing your blues. Also known as "Rouges are overpowdered".

[@thebeardedbear565]

Move the 30% threat reduction from parry to a different dual wielding talent

[@moonlitgaming9056]

Definitely wrong about Wotlk with Enhance Shamans being Mid tier, especially towards the end of the expansion. Once Ulduar came out, Shamans outshined most classes on the dps meters, given they were stacking enough haste to get white hits in as much as possible to get more MWx5 LBs off. Yes they still provided the best support, but they were a high tier dps later on in the expansion.

Do u know a good classic private servers

[@Takujaki]

Underdog indeed but in wotlk your info is incomplete, the reason why shamans dps seem to never top was the vast majority of players could'nt handle the complicated priority system as they had to press maany different buttons at gcd speed (yes like every caster, but there was no strict order as you had to react to rng in split seconds, keeping up a dot with randomly chaniging lenghts during the fights while managing the cooldowns being used properly and in advance change it up the right way in order to preserve mana) like 1 misinput could cut off an entire sequence leading to a hard punish in the dmg done department tldr: they had the tools to be top 3 in any 25man, but imo they had the most dificult dps prio

[@Cromas92]

Satbeer K Lol relax. Enha is heavily reliant on both elemental and profession enchanting to reach respectable dps, so ur comment is irrelevant tbh.

Woah that skill Tree in wrotlk is completely wrong and the best weapons were imho the gauntlets from molten core cause the procc of them could trigger swift cast and would boost your dps by some degree with instant chain lightning or lightning bold also in PvP in combination with blood frost dk and fury warrior in arena you had enough proccs to one hit most leather wealders and could easily spam chain healing to keep your group up.

[@hartosaarinen221]

1. The spec isn't completely wrong, it's mostly right 2. Gauntlets weren't the best for the whole raid, only for you 3. This video was not about pvp, it was about raiding. So you got all wrong, not him.

[@AzereusMumko]

LOVE IT ;)

[@Epicdps]

So yeah. Like a few people have said, you didn't do your research on WotLK Enhancement raiding. :P 1 point out of improved stormstrike and 2 points out of improved windfury totem into improved fire nova and the level 20 elemental 1 point mana reduction talent when you crit with a spell (elemental focus I believe it's called) is the best spec. Frost DKs provided the 20% (not 16% like the shitty WF totem) attack speed buff. Wasting two points on it is bad. Improved STR of Earth totem should be picked up by Elemental Shamans. Enh in Wrath required A LOT of finesse and experience to reach the tier 1 DPS potential it was capable of alongside Rogues, Mages, Feral and Balance Druids, Fury and Arms Warriors, etc. That is why Elemental which was a three button spec would more consistently do higher DPS. Because noobs on private servers who roll Enhancement don't really know what they are doing and spamming Chain Lightning, Lava Burst and Lightning Bolt is just SO much easier. There are also very few good guides on Enhancement DPS in Wrath available on the internet as well which doesn't do much to help that issue. You could also have mentioned with the addition of 10 man raids to Wrath as a baseline difficulty, Maelstrom weapon was immensely useful as an off-healing tool. =)

Enhance was only good at the beginning of wrath. It took a lot of work to be in the top end. But people mistook skill for imbalance. So basically every patch there was a shaman Nerf.
