[Guest Gramps]

wowhead states, that they merge t19 2pc into the tempesttalent, the +percentage in the old/new tempest was moved into stormbringer itself, what a lovely surprise, i am thrilled to the core :)

Hi, i have a question, and didnt find it in the comments. i've got Akainus, so when switching to Hot Hand and Hailstorm shall i use Fury of air over AS, cause the T1 talent wont be Boulderfist anymore?

There are now additional artifact relic points that give extra Crash Lightning damage. Also, if you are using Hailstorm, adding Frostbrand to your rotation, you're not going to have much extra maelstrom anyway. Add to that the synergy with Emalon's Charged Core if you have it. You can use FoA but I don't think you are hampered by not using it.

We are currently in the process of updating our guides in preparation for the release of 7.2.5 - all questions about "What is better for 7.2.5, X or Y?" will be answered in our guide updates. Thanks for your patience while we get everything completed and good luck in the new patch!

t19 2pc + t20 4pc? I didnt see this mentioned in the guide.

Would not taking the new leg hands to get 2pc t19 and 4pc t20 yield higher dps? Could the guide maybe shed a little bit of light on this option in the BiS section

Asking Wordup.

I was wondering if 2pc t19 + 2pc t20 can be a good choice for single target. The 4pc bonus doesnt sound good for me if at single target fights. 

[Guest captainfox]

On the Easy Mode tab, you have rockbiter listed as the talent of choice for level 100 but on the Builds and Talents tab, you say that rockbiter shouldn't be taken in any situation. So... which is it?

The answer from WU:

Not worth aiming for after the set bonus nerf and how many good legendaries it interferes with - alongside TFing requirements.

Hope this helps.

Given the recent changes, any combination seems pretty weak. You'll just push for the normal 4pc.

The Easy Mode section is separate from the rest of the guide. It is intended to only be used if you simply want an easy way to play the class, not an optimal DPS min-max guide.

You could detail which are the best legendary to use enhanc. For single and aoe ... as well as the best trinkets for single and aoe.

Another point ...haste is priority up to how many%. After that focus on mastery up to how many%?

It's simply not possible to give a "best" legendary anymore for Enhancement. The ones listed are all within a very small margin, and are fight/context/gear specific enough that it really is balanced enough that you can choose (outside of combinations listed that accentuate one or the other listed).

Haste is prioritised equal to Mastery, as in the stat sections it explains that at 25%~ Haste hits a peak but will still be a good stat thereafter. There are no caps with either of the stats, they continue to accentuate each other no matter how high you go.

[Guest Windstrike???]

Am I the only one who doesn't have WINDSTRIKE in their spellbook?

[Guest Specialka]

It is the name of Stormstrike when you are under the effect of Ascendance.

[Guest Ruuny]

Has anyone else noticed an occasional bug that while under Ascendance Windstrike doesn't get the 80% cooldown reduction?

Yep, I even posted that on the us shaman forums and what they told me is that it's a bug that's been present since launch apparently and never was properly adressed.

However, after swithing back to enhancement for a couple weeks now, I can tell you that, yeah, it's annoying when that bug happens because you'll be spending 12sec out of the 15sec that Asc lasts in waiting for windstrike to come off CD BUT it doesn't happen that often either.

[Guest Zim]

Well, concretly, what is the best build for one single target? I have akainus, the eye ring, chest, boots and helm.

[Guest t20]

How good is 4set T20 for single?

As was correctly noted, you'll only see it when in Ascendance. It replaces Stormstrike with a lower CD :)

How often do you see this? I just hit dummy for about 15 uses of Ascendance, didn't see the bug once. Very odd!

For ST - best for you is Eye + Akainu.
