One correction I would use Solid Dynamite over the High Yield bombs. The lingering Nature Damage I don't believe effects the bosses at all so you basically only get the 150-250 fire damage, and solid dynamite is actually on average way higher (213-287dmg) and they're cheaper.

Should probably make an honorable mention to enchanting as a solid profession. Enhance benefits from both the 20 spellpower and 20 attack power offered from the new sigil of innovation buff. I run this over engineering personally.

yep enchanting is pretty cool - especially if you do not need engineering and pair it with a main crafting profession like BS, LW, Tailoring etc.

Wouldn't it be better to usw epic fist weapon and an offhand with the same attack speed, to align your melee hits and use your flurry stacks more effecrive? There is a rare axe with the same speed. Just my 2 cents
@ShockTherapy556 ай бұрын
I mean its a fair shout - Sickle Axe does look good, but still not sure its worth all that overall damage loss from cogmaster which is just insane. Might be grabbing Sickle axe to test as soon as I get fist weapon anyway (never)

I just really feel like it’s worth it to use flame tongue on OH bc lava lash is legitimate damage . Having a slow weapon combined with DW spec giving 50% OH dmg , that scales w lava lash. So when you lava lash you’re getting an instant OH swing that is just as strong as your MH , buffed dmg by 125% from having FT on, and you get the FT weap effect on top of all that. 6 sec Cd w practically no mana used . It’s just so good . I promise it’s worth it I’m doing more ST with that for sure

idk if theres something i dont understand about auto attacks and abilities but EVERY time i hit lava lash or heroic strike or mangle or whatever, it ALWAYS starts auto attacking so i never understand the need for a macro to do that. someone pls explain
@ShockTherapy555 ай бұрын
hey - that is right, using an ability that essentially "auto-attacks" should start your auto-attacking by default. I feel the startattack bit is more of a precaution. Also imagine you are out of mana OR lava lash/stormstrike is on CD - I'd still press those buttons to start autoattack, rather then relying on right-clicking my target. Hope this makes sense.

Great content! I just have a question about WF procs and dmg. I was in a raid with a fellow ENH shaman and while we had the same main hand and weapon buffs i had a bit better gear than him. All my dmg was better than his except WF PROCS. He procced so much WF on EVERY boss that he was ahead of me by far, by FAR like 100 dps. I had more hit than him. Did he maybe time his STORMSTRIKES better? Is this a thing? He also didnt have world buff and pots while i did.
@ShockTherapy555 ай бұрын
hmm seems weird that with same gear one of you does so much more dmg compared to other. Only thing I can think of is pure Attack power - if he has a lot more than you, maybe thats why his WF procs just hit for more generally? Send logs from a fight if you got and we can take a deep dive and figure it out

Sounds rude but it’s crazy how lacking SoD is with polished thorough guides. Like most people who makes these guides are blue parsers and are skipping so many important parts of achieving a proper min maxed play style. That’s just kind of the classic community in general though I suppose
