my man..you are not alone i quit retail like a week ago cause i coudn't stomach what they are doing with classes so dumb down no customization no play with stats no min max in terms of sockets in gear or enchants ...they completely destroy wow
Loved the vid man, been playing Ehn since vanilla and the mechanics for the class are pretty much burned into my muscle memory but there were still some extremely helpful bits in the video. Mainly the macros for preventing you from overriding your fire ele with searing and magma totem. I swear no matter how long I've played the class, this has always plagued me! Lol
Mate, before this video I was doing around 80k dips. After I watched it in full, adjusted some things, I just went to a training dummy and almost doubled it...
Awesome guide! Great for new to shamans like me (Free 90 character boost for pre-order). It really made learning an entire class in now time, well the basics I mean. Thank you! :D
lovely guide mate, know my way around my shaman but was bored at work (slacking lol) and figured i'd youtube and this was nicely put together and informative u might wanna consider making another with more detail on perhaps a fight to fight run though on optimal burst and stuff like that..could be useful to some people (i know its a bit late in the game but never know) lol also im jealous of ur gear *chuckle*
Make transmog video for horde paladin, and plus where to get them. Never had find something like that where the guys show where to get cool transmog sets. I would enjoy! Ty
I've found recently that enhancement is AMAZING for PvP, at least what I'm doing with it, flame shock, stormstrike, and lava lash. When you're around a few enemies, get your ferals and your fire/earth elemental up
I think enhancement are hard to mastery, i've tested it before in 86 - 87 i think. I was so bad with it. But thanks to this video i finally know the rotation and gear. Thanks!
Great vid as always Syiler. Are you planning on doing some kind of similar video regarding your ret paladin? Would be much appreciated if you could just tell what the usual ability usage, statprefs ect. Thanks!
I looked at your toon the other day to see the transmog but it had been changed since the debut of this video. Can you tell me some of the transmog pieces I could use? Looking for a new look for Warlords.
The only version I have available from mop is 5.4, no clue if it still works but youre welcome to try and use it drive.google.com/open?id=1MUDtHjNwWihaTTC5I9XwkdzvluGcwRTK
Another huge part of playing Enhance is attempting to avoid sleeping through raids. Its harder than it sounds, as Enhance has latent +sleep affinity and resistance to alarm clocks. Disappointed this didn't make it into the video. Worth an annotation at least.
DeAlchymist Just an inside joke between syiler and myself. I am the GM of the guild he raids with on US and he often sleeps through raids partially because of the time zone differences, but also because his inconsistent sleep schedule. Its widely believed he is one of the most skilled players in the guild, but his mishaps blur the line some times.
Allso, would u mind doing some wuick videos where u go throw all the fights, tell us your PoV of the fight and when you do what. I think this would realy help out not only enh shamans but all melee classes, posibly even some range classes. Keep up the great work
so I tried the totem macro that is suppose to stop you from using the searing or magma totem while you have the pet totem down and it didnt work is there a reason why?
This looks awesome. Was thinking of making a orc shaman but I was not sure what to choose. I think I will go enhancement just to squeeze everything I can from the racials. How much fun is this class?
***** I am fairly inexperienced in MMOs so I am trying to check what I like more but in any game I have played I have always liked to play that way so perhaps it could be a good choice for me.
Vote for Call on the Mighty No.9 kickstarter! :D Well WoW has a Public Test Realm which becomes active when a new patch is incoming, it is currently available for the next patch and on the PTR (Public Test Realm) you can create a level 90 without having to level it. If you have the internet connection to download the PTR I would recommend checking it out as it allows you to see some classes you are interested in at max level before you commit on Live Servers,
syiler pleas I tried it but my spells arent in that bottom grey bar and I dont have frame like you and map is so small and I cant zoom in can you help me?
Have you considered the current gear (trinkets in particular) and the legendary items when selecting the stats and talents? Or is this guide made from a general pov? Cause I have found PE works well with the trinket from the Sha of Pride but UF benefits from the 2 piece set bonus.
One question thing ive been trying to figure out is when you get into that spot where you cant do anything and nothings off cooldown for a few seconds is the weak 1 malestorm lightning bolt that takes like 1-3 sec to cast stronger or better then those 1-3 seconds of auto attacks cause of your pretty much constant frenzy buff and weapon imbune procs?
Hey Syiler , i loved your video , think is best guide of Enhancement Shaman in PvE, but i have a question , is now better having a dps in elemental or in enhancement? i looked deep in elemental and that aoe burst is sure amazing , and Enhancement is more like a single target burst spec , wich one should i pick for doing a hell of a dps now in 5.4.2?
Well my guild has 2 Ele Shamans and on the majority of fights I do more damage but they do better or some of the AoE/Cleave Fights. So its not to different, basically Enhance for Single Target, Ele for AoE
Hi there Syiler, just subbed, great vid! But i still have some questions. Since im a player, whos got troubble picking a class to main, do you think the enhance sham is challenging rotation wise, or is it, when good at it, just mindless spamming? And how are thier ability to solo old raid content etc? If not that high on the iLvl. Thank mate, best regards
Sorry for the late reply, enhance isnt to difficult to pick up but as all classes takes a lot to master, it has decent solo potential due to good healing/burst.
Are you sure about that burst pull you mentioned? cz I was under the impression that wolves / fire elemental benefit from your AP so wouldn't it be more beneficial to put both of them up after unleash elements/flameshock cz you will most likely have procs up & stuff. Unless I'm wrong entirely bout how those 2 benefit from procs & stuff in which case you can blatently ignore me
***** Aha I was not aware of this nor could I find any info on enhance anywhere. Seems everything is either out of date or wrong so hats off to you for your guide kind sir! I was looking for a good opener sequence so thx for that.
***** what i mean is that this macro doesn't work it you have not taken the primal elementalist talent and my question is or its possible to make a macro like this for the normal nontalent fire elemental totem thanks.
I've recently hit lvl 90 on my enhan shaman. I would like to know if this spec is a gear dependent class? Im just gearing my toon now and I am ilvl488.. low I know, but I wanted to ask what the average dps is for this ilvl?
Enh shams are really damn good when you get right reforge,enchants,gems and trinkets and yeah a trinket with Major abilitiy cd reduction would be nice for more burst and glyph of fire elemental I think it was called.
***** thank you very much..helped a lot..also if you dont mind i would like you to tell me the addon for the window with your char's face on it and the blue bar next to it :)
It's a bit more then Skinner =p if you check the video description there is a link to SyiUI which is my Ui you see in the video. There you will find a video and instructions on how to get the same UI as me but it requires a 1920x1080 resolution to work as it should!
Good guide. Only comment I have is on FET glyph. There is no real scenario where you get more FET uptime with the glyph than without. Your 7.5 minute example is not totally correct. Without the glyph your FET has an uptime of 1 minute; you pop one at the 0 minute mark and another at 5 minute mark (2x 1 minute = 2 min total FET) With the glyph your FET has an uptime of 30 seconds; you pop one at the 0 minute mark, 2.5 min mark, 5 min mark and 7.5 minute mark. That's still only 2 minutes of total FET uptime (4x 30 seconds = 2 min). In fact if the fight ends at 6.5 minutes you actually lose out with the glyph. That doesn't mean the glyph is useless. Quite the opposite; it's great for short burn phases, or fights where your FET might not be able to attack for 1 minute straight.
Hey Loved the video who you care to critique my enhancement shaman Shockahzulu eonar horde side.I think im doing a lot wrong as simcraft says im supposed to be doing a lot higher dps I know my rotation and everything I played for a while but
ill check it out but you have to remember simcraft is mainly useful for seeing which stats/talent setup works best for you right now. Don't try to match its dps as simcraft is the perfect scenario which happens never on live.
There really isnt a "what am I gona do next" in pve is there? Its all rotations and move away from the fire. Thats why I cant enjoy it, there is no suspense or excitement.
***** I tend to agree Syi, rotations and move away from the fire are all background noise and basics when things start heating up in high end PVE. What most "ZOMG PvP furevar Only noobs play PvE" players think about PvE ist that because you are playing against the game itself there is no human factor and therefore everything is predictable easy and boring. What they don't factor in is the increasingly difficult mechanics, increasingly adept AI and the fact that blizzard always introduces SOME random element to higher end progression. To quote an old saying, no plan survives contact with the enemy. Just as no two attempts on a boss are identical, and it is when the boss does something completely random that you can tell the truly good players from those that are just going through the motions. Otherwise what would the point of PvE content in any game be? (well other than story telling but that's a whole other post. Anyway Syi thanks for this guide, I was almost exclusively enhance in Cata and have been meaning to pick it up again in MoP so this will help A TON.
***** Im a 505 ilvl enh shaman. Im doing all of rotations in teh video correctly for burst and it varies from 130k to 180k. It just seems low, and I'm using unleash elements for last talent.
I miss this. All of it. So much you wouldn't even believe.
Many people miss mop now because it was the best.
play on a the private server Tauri-evermoon :) its 5.4.8 MOP and super fun
@@nubutor Thank you for the recommendation I'm playing on it while waiting for Endwalker
my man..you are not alone i quit retail like a week ago cause i coudn't stomach what they are doing with classes so dumb down no customization no play with stats no min max in terms of sockets in gear or enchants ...they completely destroy wow
They will 100% do Classic MoP
Loved the vid man, been playing Ehn since vanilla and the mechanics for the class are pretty much burned into my muscle memory but there were still some extremely helpful bits in the video.

Awesome guide! Great for new to shamans like me (Free 90 character boost for pre-order). It really made learning an entire class in now time, well the basics I mean. Thank you! :D
thank you for the video, i was about to reroll enh but knew very little about the mechanics and scaling with stats. now that problem is solved :D
Amazing job. Cause of that video I made one Enhancement shaman. Its for sure the best toon ive ever made. I would have made one long time ago.
lovely guide mate, know my way around my shaman but was bored at work (slacking lol) and figured i'd youtube and this was nicely put together and informative u might wanna consider making another with more detail on perhaps a fight to fight run though on optimal burst and stuff like that..could be useful to some people (i know its a bit late in the game but never know) lol also im jealous of ur gear *chuckle*
Make transmog video for horde paladin, and plus where to get them. Never had find something like that where the guys show where to get cool transmog sets. I would enjoy! Ty
Best class design in game history
RIP
Will be back soon 😌
I've found recently that enhancement is AMAZING for PvP, at least what I'm doing with it, flame shock, stormstrike, and lava lash. When you're around a few enemies, get your ferals and your fire/earth elemental up
Thank you so much for this. This was simply amazing.
Really awesome guide man, keep 'em coming!
very nice guide, helped me alot subscribed!
Whats the item that Syiler uses at 24:40 ?? the one that makes him a "fireball"
It should be the rare item that drops from Cinderfall, rare in Timeless Isle
Thanks for the vid. I was making the switch from elemental to enhance and I have to say that enh was confusing as hell.
PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE!!! Like+Favorated
I'll try to! Although my knowledge of some other classes isn't as strong as my knowledge of Enhance/Ret but im working on it!
I think enhancement are hard to mastery, i've tested it before in 86 - 87 i think. I was so bad with it. But thanks to this video i finally know the rotation and gear. Thanks!
No worries! Glad it was useful
Great vid as always Syiler. Are you planning on doing some kind of similar video regarding your ret paladin? Would be much appreciated if you could just tell what the usual ability usage, statprefs ect. Thanks!
I looked at your toon the other day to see the transmog but it had been changed since the debut of this video. Can you tell me some of the transmog pieces I could use? Looking for a new look for Warlords.
what was that flying ball of lava thing?
Davey Wirth, It is Falling Flame, a rare item, dropped from a rare elite (Cinderfall) at Timeless Isle :)
Very nice guide! Can you do a video on your UI about the addons and maybe a little bit of setting them up?
Already have! - SyiUI 5.4 Update - V2.0!
really nice vid!
but could you tell me what you used at 24:39 :)?
very very nice guide man! nice work
Thanks man glad you enjoyed it
Hi Syiler, Im playing MoP private server, so do u store your SyiUI for patch MoP?
The only version I have available from mop is 5.4, no clue if it still works but youre welcome to try and use it drive.google.com/open?id=1MUDtHjNwWihaTTC5I9XwkdzvluGcwRTK
Best enhancement guide ever saw!!
Another huge part of playing Enhance is attempting to avoid sleeping through raids. Its harder than it sounds, as Enhance has latent +sleep affinity and resistance to alarm clocks. Disappointed this didn't make it into the video. Worth an annotation at least.
...what?
DeAlchymist Basically, pardon my idiocy, I took this as enhancement is so incredibly boring to play rotation wise that you'll fall asleep.
DeAlchymist Just an inside joke between syiler and myself. I am the GM of the guild he raids with on US and he often sleeps through raids partially because of the time zone differences, but also because his inconsistent sleep schedule. Its widely believed he is one of the most skilled players in the guild, but his mishaps blur the line some times.
i like the UI you have set up!! What addons do you have for your UI?
awesome guide helped me alot very professional
i havnt played since 5.3, whats that blue thing on your back and what attack leaves those blue claw marks? im kinda lost haha
Its the Legendary Cloak for Mists of Pandaria
what are those blue claw animation , I want it :P
Allso, would u mind doing some wuick videos where u go throw all the fights, tell us your PoV of the fight and when you do what. I think this would realy help out not only enh shamans but all melee classes, posibly even some range classes. Keep up the great work
what's that addond which show maelstorm weapon stack?
I NEED TO KNOW THIS :(
Awesome Guide, subbed favd and liked!
so I tried the totem macro that is suppose to stop you from using the searing or magma totem while you have the pet totem down and it didnt work is there a reason why?
Why were there blue scratch marks in the air....? am i supposed to have those lol xD
This looks awesome. Was thinking of making a orc shaman but I was not sure what to choose. I think I will go enhancement just to squeeze everything I can from the racials. How much fun is this class?
I enjoy the class a lot, its definitely not for everyone but if you enjoy a bursty melee then Enhance is the way to go.
***** I am fairly inexperienced in MMOs so I am trying to check what I like more but in any game I have played I have always liked to play that way so perhaps it could be a good choice for me.

Vote for Call on the Mighty No.9 kickstarter! :D Troll racial is better for enhancement :D
What is these blue claws, when u hit a target it comes some blue claws or something?
legendary cloack
syiler pleas I tried it but my spells arent in that bottom grey bar and I dont have frame like you and map is so small and I cant zoom in can you help me?
The blue scratches thingy, is that the ledgendary cloak proc?
What is the name of that UI you use? Plz answer.. Very nice guide btw ;) I liked and subscribed ^^ :)
Syiui there is a link in the description =)
Have you considered the current gear (trinkets in particular) and the legendary items when selecting the stats and talents? Or is this guide made from a general pov? Cause I have found PE works well with the trinket from the Sha of Pride but UF benefits from the 2 piece set bonus.
General PoV for the most part, although I do mention about the 2p and trinket in the video.
One question thing ive been trying to figure out is when you get into that spot where you cant do anything and nothings off cooldown for a few seconds is the weak 1 malestorm lightning bolt that takes like 1-3 sec to cast stronger or better then those 1-3 seconds of auto attacks cause of your pretty much constant frenzy buff and weapon imbune procs?
What programs are you using to make your action bar / minimap look like that?
I cant download the UI anymore ? I dont know if i miss a program on my comp to support the zip file or what it can be. But i should have.
Hey Syiler , i loved your video , think is best guide of Enhancement Shaman in PvE, but i have a question , is now better having a dps in elemental or in enhancement? i looked deep in elemental and that aoe burst is sure amazing , and Enhancement is more like a single target burst spec , wich one should i pick for doing a hell of a dps now in 5.4.2?

Well my guild has 2 Ele Shamans and on the majority of fights I do more damage but they do better or some of the AoE/Cleave Fights. So its not to different, basically Enhance for Single Target, Ele for AoE
Its weird but the Fire ele macro doesn't work for me, it still drop the searing totem! any tips?
which interface addon is this? where the talents and bars and chat snd so on are in black:) pls say me that:-)
In the Description..
Did you make a video for PvP?
Nah, pvp isn't my thing
Hi there Syiler, just subbed, great vid!

They dynamically change meaning once they are out if you gain haste, they gain haste, if you gain damage, they gain damage.
***** Aha I was not aware of this nor could I find any info on enhance anywhere. Seems everything is either out of date or wrong so hats off to you for your guide kind sir! I was looking for a good opener sequence so thx for that.
Man I just dinged 89 on my enhance shaman... the fuck did I get myself into?
How are you attacking so fast, do you have haste gems?
/cast [nopet:Primal Fire Elemental] Searing Totem
is there a macro like this for the fire elemental totem?
What you mean?? That won't place searing totem if your elemental is up because that's what it is mate
*****
what i mean is that this macro doesn't work it you have not taken the primal elementalist talent
and my question is or its possible to make a macro like this for the normal nontalent fire elemental totem
thanks.
***** ohhh just replace primal with greater and it should be fine man
/cast [nopet:Greater Fire Elemental] Searing Totem
this not working :(
but anyway thank you for trying
can you livestream soon?
I've recently hit lvl 90 on my enhan shaman. I would like to know if this spec is a gear dependent class? Im just gearing my toon now and I am ilvl488.. low I know, but I wanted to ask what the average dps is for this ilvl?
About 70k I think so for enh shammys. My lock did 70k at 480ilvl but 70k is low because I wasn't a great DPS at 480 :/ I think you can do more :)
Enh shams are really damn good when you get right reforge,enchants,gems and trinkets and yeah a trinket with Major abilitiy cd reduction would be nice for more burst and glyph of fire elemental I think it was called.
What is the attack that claws on your screen?
Thats the Legendary Cloak
I figgured it out right after I asked. Looks amazing!
shouldn't you flame shock and then lava lash?
Think its for multiple targets not for single target.
How are they looking for WOD, been thinking about making one. They any good right now?
in wod shaman enhan is top dps
Dan Staicu no, its good but its a few spots from the top.
Last time when i checked it was on top.
Dan Staicu It's high-mid tier. Currently Arms warrior, feral and Spriest are top dps.
Can u do a guide for setting up raven?
At what point does stat become moore valuable than Agi? You mention that you reached that in the video but you forget to mention when that is.
Very nice video.
what addon for your bars looking like this?
For my action bars I use Dominos for the action bars, Masque for the glossy look and KG panels for the black box around them.
***** thank you very much..helped a lot..also if you dont mind i would like you to tell me the addon for the window with your char's face on it and the blue bar next to it :)
Marios Neme That's called Pitbull
How can I get my UI to look like yours? it looks so clear!
It's a bit more then Skinner =p if you check the video description there is a link to SyiUI which is my Ui you see in the video. There you will find a video and instructions on how to get the same UI as me but it requires a 1920x1080 resolution to work as it should!
What's the add on u use
what addons do you use?
can you put the macros in the description as well?
Sure ill add it in shortly
awesome thanks Syiler
What's the scrolling text?
MikScrollingBattleText (MSBT)
Found a nice melee-shammy rotation macro, at: "EliteWoWMacros com" (google search). You kinda have to spam it like crazy, in order to work, though.
Great guide, sub and like ! :)
How you do that scratches when you attack?
***** Oh thanks!
are there links to the addons ?
can u tell me what kind of interface addons u use
themaster1203 link in the description =)
Hey man, great job, Could you share your UI please? i need to change mine to be more friendly, and i really like yours =)
Thanks man.
The UI's called Syiui but I haven't released the updated version for 5.4 yet =( I will soon so keep an eye out for a video announcing it!
***** Will do man, Thanks for your time.
***** Tyvm, i was bursting all wrong. You increased my burst dps by at least 20%.
Good guide. Only comment I have is on FET glyph.
There is no real scenario where you get more FET uptime with the glyph than without.
Your 7.5 minute example is not totally correct.
Without the glyph your FET has an uptime of 1 minute; you pop one at the 0 minute mark and another at 5 minute mark (2x 1 minute = 2 min total FET)
With the glyph your FET has an uptime of 30 seconds; you pop one at the 0 minute mark, 2.5 min mark, 5 min mark and 7.5 minute mark. That's still only 2 minutes of total FET uptime (4x 30 seconds = 2 min). In fact if the fight ends at 6.5 minutes you actually lose out with the glyph.
That doesn't mean the glyph is useless. Quite the opposite; it's great for short burn phases, or fights where your FET might not be able to attack for 1 minute straight.
Good point, yeah it was just some on the spot math malfunctions.
Pourquoi n'existe t'il pas tout c'est tuto en français ...

what are this wings that everytime pop up xD
Legendary cloak
ah thx xD
Hey Loved the video who you care to critique my enhancement shaman Shockahzulu eonar horde side.I think im doing a lot wrong as simcraft says im supposed to be doing a lot higher dps I know my rotation and everything I played for a while but
ill check it out but you have to remember simcraft is mainly useful for seeing which stats/talent setup works best for you right now. Don't try to match its dps as simcraft is the perfect scenario which happens never on live.

How the hell could you make urself into a lavaburst? :O
gr8 guide
There really isnt a "what am I gona do next" in pve is there? Its all rotations and move away from the fire. Thats why I cant enjoy it, there is no suspense or excitement.
Its a lot more then that, id recommend trying some high end PvE (Heroics) before you make a verdict like that!
*****
I tend to agree Syi, rotations and move away from the fire are all background noise and basics when things start heating up in high end PVE. What most "ZOMG PvP furevar Only noobs play PvE" players think about PvE ist that because you are playing against the game itself there is no human factor and therefore everything is predictable easy and boring. What they don't factor in is the increasingly difficult mechanics, increasingly adept AI and the fact that blizzard always introduces SOME random element to higher end progression. To quote an old saying, no plan survives contact with the enemy.

Otherwise what would the point of PvE content in any game be? (well other than story telling but that's a whole other post. Anyway Syi thanks for this guide, I was almost exclusively enhance in Cata and have been meaning to pick it up again in MoP so this will help A TON.
Ret palla please ^^
D: so much weaker than my Fury warrior, I used my 90 boost on a shaman >_
Man please write the addons name thats good for shammy (like +share) ur da best
Pls subtitles:(
It's shaman not sheyman :)
The pronunciation is based on where you are from so it's sheyman.
He's pronouncing it correct.
***** Im a 505 ilvl enh shaman. Im doing all of rotations in teh video correctly for burst and it varies from 130k to 180k. It just seems low, and I'm using unleash elements for last talent.
Xemozazk Unleashed Elements is the worst talent for burst. If you want to see higher burst you need to go Elemental Mastery and Primal Elementalist.
***** Alot of heroic shamans told me not to go PE until I get the reduced CD trinket.
Shah-mun not shey-men. XD
No because I got the first comment
No you didn't, lol.
