Yes, that is the issue when plays that have played Warlock, Rogue, DK, Feral Druid....etc play Enh Shammy. The logic behind these classes, aside of DK, is build combo points -> dump combo points into your main spell for x situation and the combo point generation is only 1 spell you press over and over again, maybe a cd that gives you combo points.
@@elchamacoduro Yeah, sort of. I included DK in my argument because someone playing Warlock, for instance, finds DK rotation familiar enough to pick it up. DK is more complicated than Warlock or Rogue.

@@danielcanty5727its true. the cast for lightning bolt was so fast that you could do it before swing time, so people timed for 4 stacks avoid bad rng 😅.

It does have a rotation. When you see it , how you can spread flame shock, primal wave, Lightning bolt, and your lightning rods has spread to 6+ mobs , then crash lightning and storm strike. BIG AOE burst right there. ( If you go Stormbringer ) But its clunky, a " build up " to burst dmg wich makes it hard to keep up. and makes the spec a button smach spec. All tho its a meta spec, 15+ keys only top players who know in depth how the spec works. its a skillful spec to master, when you do. You will conquer all meters.
Keep it this way. Its like riding a bike. Cant teach balance or skill. Its learned. You decide in the moment what to press, and if youre a veteran at situational awareness you either win or die
Me with outlaw. How many steps for the opener? How many to maintain? Which procs take priority and when? Took me about 10 minutes of trying wrap my mind around the keybindings I would need and then went "nah, f🎉ck this, I'm back to assassination. Not cool. Not cool."
Easy. Flame shock whatever you can. Use your melee skills to charge up your lightning. Cast lightning whenever it's charged. Use your cc and totems accordingly. It's easier than druid.
@wiseferret4745 I have that macroed to healers via set focus. I have also macroed the spells to point and shoot from wrath (least used unless proc) the spam beams and starsurge. Use aoe stars if more than 2.
I never played them before but I just partnered on arena with a fully geared one. He literally disappeared while I was tag teamed and 4 shot, came back and got his demise. I was so confused.
I miss the old days where were able to play with the 1-5 keys + "E" and "R" without having to rely on Makros because of all the active spells you need for considerable damage
Hot keys...shift+1 becomes a spell on another bar. I had access to 15 hotkeys JUST from using alt and shift...not to include buttons on mouse...just sounds like a bit of laziness to me to be honest.
@@derekbeck1982honestly most specs are 5 button specs for their DPS these days. Until is the only extra which can be key bonded the way you do. So you’re right. Homeboys just lazy and bad at the game
uhmmmmm my main was shaman since a little bit before tbc i think (but got to max level after wotlk came out as i could only afford the gc once a year for b day.) worst class for a noob, especially for a noob in mmorpg, it was suffering. Nowadays, i just dont have to use many totems anymore and mana was such a huge deal back then. But idk, if You people feel like its hard then i must be doing something wrong - although i had no issues when leveling, it was just much easier each expansion. in the end, i found no class funner than shaman, i always considered enh spec to be the fun one compared to elemental spec. But You just pop things as they come ig? the only thing im not sure of is if one should take ascendance and spirit wolves as passive or as an active spell - i took them as active spells coz they just wont pop when i need them to, like, instead of popping during a boss fight they will pop randomly during clearing mobs worst case scenario, they pop after attacking the last mob and eeehh, i just cant have that. Then again ive only been clearing dungeons these last times as i didnt buy the last expansion yet coz i didnt finish dragonflight and i barely touched shadowlands.
It’s like super simple just fasttttt Make sure flame shock is on your target. Lava lash and storm strike on CD. When 8+ stacks of maelstrom weapon spend on lighting bolt for ST or chain lightning for AoE. If you want to fish for luck you can do 5+ stacks for ST. When tempest procs press it with 8+ stacks of maelstrom weapon It’s like the same as assassination rogue or even fury warrior but actually has spenders for AoE vs ST.
You press stormstrike, then if you don't have 5+ MSW you press stormstrike, then you spend MSW, repeat. That's what it has become since 2 charges of SS got added
Rotation is simple, but you have know few stuff before you can hit the next best ability, aka no rotation. You build up you enhancements, and use them when they hit their best or they have their best effect. Like hitting more stormstrikes or crash lightnings as soon as possible when you have 3+ windfurry buffs, especially when you have windfurry pro buffs (doomwinds, physical ferals, or frost witch). You make your own furtune on betting on the best procs.
Yea i skipped enh altho I like it... At least 3-4 buttons are macros for buff+enhanced ability from the buff, tight room for spells that do not constantly reset and on top of that mechanics? I live watching enh in raids but i'm limited by my iq
I'm 100% getting it once the tokens drop a bit in value. 350k x4 is all my gold atm. Once it drops to old price (sub 300k) I'll gladly turn my excesse gold to a longboi 2.0.

Wrong.
As a vetran shaman player I always say, "Enhancement does not have a rotation, it has a priority list at best"
Need to teach me bud
That is a fact. Stormstrike for the win!!!

Same for arms war, except ms'ing on cd.
Enable a new bar and put the priority list in order on the bar left to right.
5 head 😮
Great idea!
As w Feral Druid, I feel the same way about most of my Druid options.
I've been maining enhancement since 2016. All you do is wait for abilities to proc and hope you dont die lol
If you're feeling like that.. you're probably doing it right 😂
Use the addon 'hero rotation', helps a lot

I feel wot you r saying ❤❤❤
ngl anyone who can play Enhance proficiently (especially in high level content) probably deserves to melt the dps meters
It's not that hard, just high apm and a lot of different abilities to hit. Spamming lightning and tempest is basically 70% of what you need to know.
Old enhance yes but after rework it's miles simpler
@@ericbyo9472 so you don't play enhance then...if it was just spamming LB and Tempest everyone would be playing it since it is clearly without a question the strongest DPS in ST and AOE.
I have to agree with this. Haven’t even tried Enchantment cause I’m confused
It’s proc base, RNJesus. Why haste is good. More attacks means more price. Stand close enough to see white damage. It’s the base for most melee champs
The mistake is thinking it has a rotation.
You pick your favourites, hit them when they light up and watch the pretty particles go BBBBBR
Thinking of coming back to wow, back to enhancement shaman roots pre BFA to reclaim them top 10 wclogs.
Its crazy one class spec has 3 buttons makes a lot of dmg other one needs to press like 7 in rotation to make it happen
Icefury - I will never get that into this thick head of mine
Bro, seriously. Same.
Yeah I could never wrap my head around Icefury either
just, use it when it pops?

@@elchamacoduro Yeah, sort of. I included DK in my argument because someone playing Warlock, for instance, finds DK rotation familiar enough to pick it up.

Yeah, post update it feels a lot less predictable.

Literallu any build you choose is good just need different stats for example you might need more haste etc
It does click, though. Build, spend, don't cap.

The order in which you use your abilities to maximise your effectiveness.

Isn't it keep your totems up and start dancing
