Rank 1 Enhancement Shaman Sunwell Plateau TBC Classic (2393.9 Boss DPS Overall - Complete Raid 6/28)

Just uploaded at Rank 7 and then the next day got a rank 1 for complete raid ofc.
Not a perfect raid, made a lot of dumb mistakes. But our raid has been owning the past couple weeks, especially the healers.
I'm sure someone will pass me up by the end of this lockout but w/e. Just fighting bad guys with cool music.

Glad I came across this video. I've been playing shaman for a few years now and love it. Seeing this definitely inspires me to keep playing and hopefully be in a successful raid like yours in the future.

[@bikemellon]

the KJ voice over was a nice touch over the drum and bass. also - large pump ggs

[@Reapathy]

What a treat. Ty for the upload! Hope to see some more pumpage from you in Wrath if you decide to play it

[@rkd9026]

I’ll be playing wrath. Not sure what main will be just yet though. Looking to play some combination of unholy dk, hunter, rogue and enhance

[@enthozz5326]

very big and strong enhancement shaman

[@Romstine]

Hey mate, thanks for posting this. Inspires me as enhance. Was wondering why you were tracking your procs? Do you do something specific when you see some procs? I would think it clutters your UI too much no?

[@rkd9026]

It’s a bit of clutter but doesn’t bother me. Enh has nothin else going on so high end optimization is just trying to pop potion/cds around procs. Had a pull on kj last night where I peaked at 4.5k dps on pull bc everything lined up

[@joeykhoury7491]

[@nate7734]

yo love the video bro but could you make a video going over your addons, WAs, rotation ? and ui too pls n thx

[@rkd9026]

I've thought about it but it's so late in TBC at this point... you can hit me up on discord or DM me if you have questions though.

[@tigolebittie]

What’s the WA that’s shows when you need to purge pyrogenics on twins?

[@rkd9026]

I think it's this general SWP pack: wago.io/llwrZsg_d But I also messed around with making a WA for pyrogenics specifically.. I don't remember. But I think it's in here, too lazy to check :D

[@slickyy13]

Hey is there anyway i can see your gear im just wondering what ur geming is i feel like theres alot of confusion of geming for enchancement shaman and im one of them? im geming 10 hit in my yellow sockets atm and i think im making a mistake

[@rkd9026]

I would just gem crit/str in yellow sockets. Hit is good but crit/str is better unless you're like ele subspec with no moonkin and really weird gear with no hit on it.

[@matejdragovic5668]

Hello, why dont you twist between fire nova and searing totem?

[@rkd9026]

Minimal dps gains at the expense of tying up gcd for reactive things such as twisting tranq totem, purging or kicking spells. I guess you can do that but it’s just not incredibly important imo. Sometimes I do it

[@NavyPharmD]

Love people coming in here and asking the literal 100th percentile enhancement shaman why he's not twisting searing/fire nova. Clearly, it's not a big deal or else he wouldn't be rank 1. It's probably a 0.25% damage difference, and like he's said numerous times, the extra GCD's can interrupt utility. One question I have... are you manually twisting Grace of Air and Windfury or do you have a castsequence timer macro that automatically twists them with one button tied to like windfury or something. /castsequence reset=8 Windfury Totem, Grace of Air Totem or something?

[@Romstine]

Sorry I'm still watching your video and wondering some stuff. If you don't mind answering my questions : -I don't see you twisting fire totem with nova/searing... Is there a reason? -I don't see you twisting wf/grace every 10sec Just wondering if there's a specific reason for those. Thanks mate :)

[@rkd9026]

The windfury buff lingers after 10 seconds albeit inconsistently... presumably it has something to do with batching. It still isn't great to exceed 10 seconds on a twist. I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to, or if you mean to say that I twist early. Sometimes I do that so that it won't clip stormstrike or shock. Clipping also being the reason that I don't usually bother with twisting nova and magma unless there is cleave. The gains are so incredibly small and you risk fumbling totems and other utility for your group/raid, enhance in TBC is a supportive spec at the end of the day. And I sometimes need to purge or swap to tranq totem or hold shocks for kicks - Uptime on your target and uptime of your party buffs is more important than cpm on enhance imo, although I'm sure some would disagree.

[@tobiaspfau3876]

wow amazing!! what are you proffessions ?

[@rkd9026]

Engi LW. I don’t really get any use out of engineering atm because I am using drums on cd but I cba releveling it for wrath

[@Skyprey]

What is the sausage, Bread and flower buff?

[@rkd9026]

Buffs from midsummer festival

[@kaimar5166]

imagine if enhance shamans could use glaives :D
