Enhancement Shaman 6.2

Recommended Posts

My own

 

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/drakthul/Derienn/simple

 

4 piece set bonus

 

I ran the simulations mainly for single target as that is what I am focusing on.

 

Also Flame Shock in multitarget scenarios is probably what pushes Mastery ahead?

 

The DPS per execute is incredibly high.

 

edit: I see the gaps in my simulations and reasoning. I'm already working on a more detailed spreadsheet with multiple scenarios to analyze the stat weights properly. The question I'd like to answer is whether to treat Mastery as the go to stat or whether to give Multistrike more room as it seems to affect single target the most.

You also need to keep in mind that there will be fluctuations in stats between talent choices and gear levels, but while you can easily change talent between encounters, the vast majority of players is not going to change gear between encounters just to satisfy a stat priority. As you could see in your testing, stats are close in value, so you usually just want to go with items that have the highest item level. So, our stat priority needs to be extremely generic and it is.

"The stat priority for an Enhancement Shaman is:

  1. Agility;
  2. Haste (to about 50%);"

 

I'm a decently geared Enh shammy (ilvl 682) and avid follower (and promoter of Icy Veins) the fundamental issue I have is how on earth ..... ahem sorry Azeroth  do we Shammies ever get close to having 50% haste lol? I've got a 4 set and play all classes (none I must admit brilliantly) ilvl 682 and my stats fully enchanted for haste are: Haste 20%, Mastery 37%, Crit 19% and Multistrike 11.5%.

If Shammies need 50% Haste or even Haste as their Highest stat how on Azeroth do we achieve this with the gear currently available?

 

As a footnote this state of affairs would explain the abysmal single target performance of Enhancement shammies ...or am I wrong?

why is it that reactive shielding not worth having? Would assume that 1.5 second LS vs "every few seconds" LS would be more beneficial.

Which characters are used for the stat weights in the guides? The generic profiles from simulationcraft ?

I don't think Purge just sticks to the generic profiles. You could ask him the question on totemspot, if you really wanted an answer.

I don't think it's currently possible to get it only through gear, but the breakpoint is there, so it's important to be aware of it.

Do you often receive melee attacks in a raid?

Why is that hunter trinket one the BiS trinkets for us? I was on vacation for 3 weeks. Did I miss anything?

I'm confused as to where you see a hunte trinket in the BiS list, as the only hunter-only trinket is the Talisman of te Master Tracker, which is the hunter class trinket off of Archimond.

I think he's talking about Mirror of the Blademaster. In this case, this is just a tooltip error on the wowdb side of things.

I saw Voskopoula's post regarding this matter, saying that using Unleash Elements on Flame Shock, then spreading it to additional mobs will, in fact, transfer a buffed Flame shock.  However, the guide shows the following contradictory statements, so I wanted to find out for sure which is true:

 

~~~

 

2. Multiple Target Rotation

If the enemies will live long enough for  Flame Shock to deal its full damage, make sure to apply it with Unleash Elements up, so you can spread a buffed Flame Shock with  Lava Lash.

 

 

5.4. Multiple Target Rotation Subtleties

 

As we have already pointed out, if you spread a Flame Shock that has been empowered by  Unleash Flame, it will spread to other targets as a non-empowered Flame Shock (so without the damage buff from Unleash Flame).

You can add Felmouth Frenzy food to this guide. It's a good alternative for a haste food and may be even better.

Will Unleashed Fury beat PE when I get 4 pieces of T18?

And I guess when I get my 4th piece of T18 I will stack MSW to 10 Stacks, use them once so I have 5 Stacks again and then stack it up to 10 again if I dont need 2 Instant LBs to kill a high prio target because Electrocute also does more DMG with each stack of MSW. Am I right?

I forgot to remove that second mention last month. I've removed it now, thanks for the report smile.png

I think I will add it, it seems to sim higher than the rest, but I want to discuss it with Purge first.

For Tier 6 Talents, I found that Elemental Blast is really the best choice for Enhancement Shamans.  I tried all 3 and found this to give me the best results.

 

Unleashed fury is garbage because I hardly use lightning bolt, I mean that is for elemental shamans, which we are not.

 

Primal Elementalist is also worthless since I found myself hardly using the two pet elemental totems.  I find that my dps is strong enough where the pet isn't necessary.  For some rares, it was kind of helpful to have some of the aggro off of me, but really it wasn't all that helpful.  And with a 5 min cooldown...it makes this useless.  In Tanaan jungle you run into rares and elite mobs all the time, 5 min cooldown is just lame.

 

Elemental Blast is awesome  though.  It procs as a free cast quite often so the buff it gives to my stats is almost always up.  You may diasgree, but I found this to benefit my dps the most and it is what I will go with.

Hi, could someone please explain why there is a different rotation for enhancement shamans using Echo of the Elements. If enhancement shamans are never meant to have 2 stacks of either Lava Lash or Stormstrike why should we avoid using the ability with one stack. Using the ability with one stack prevents it from going to two stacks. I don't understand why enhancement shamans would do more damage by prioritizing Frost Shock over a single stack of Lava Lash or Stormstrike. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you smile.png

With shaman class trinket it seems that having the best weapon in MH gives higher simulations result

What benefit is there to having Searing Totem down with 100% uptime? I know that in MoP, the auto attacks buffed Lava Lash, but that passive seems to have been cut? Haven't played my enhancement shaman since SoO.

With T18 bonus, Lightning Bolt has become a large chunk of my output. I've been scouring the internet, but I cannot seem to find an answer to:

What stat increases Lightning Bolt damage? Mastery only?

1. Mastery.

2. Unleashed Fury - Empowers your Unleash Elements,
increasing damage taken by the target from your Lightning Bolt by 30% for 10 sec, and increasing your multistrike chance by 5% for 8 sec.

 

3. Stormstrike  - Strike an enemy, dealing 649% Physical damage with your main-hand and 649% Physical damage with your off-hand, and granting you an additional 25% chance to critically strike that enemy with your Nature damage spells for 15 sec. (Extra crit chance)

is this still current? 

The rotation is wrong. Frost shock is prioritized below using your second echo stacks. You only use it when you have nothing else or you don't have your unleash buff up and are saving your MSW stacks to do a properly empowered LB.   Stat priority for ST is Agi>haste>master>multi(slightly better) and after that who gives a fuck crit/versa don't really do anything special for us.  AOE Master>haste> because flame shock and nova are buffed by mastery and they are your aoe damage.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.

      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
