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.

      Today's hotfixes are still very Plunderstorm-heavy, but we do get fixes for more achievement-related mount issues and PvP catch-up, in addition to the limited time event's adjustments.
      March 27 (Source)
      Achievements
      Fixed bugs causing mounts related to A World Awoken to be unavailable, including Bestowed Ottuk Vanguard, Bestowed Trawling Mammoth, Bestowed Thunderspine Packleader, Bestowed Sandskimmer, Bestowed Ohuna Spotter, Coralscale Salamanther, Stormtouched Bruffalon, and Taivan. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up. Plunderstorm
      The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before. There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder. Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall. Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly. Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell. The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).

      Well that didn't take long! We found out someone had broken the 700,000 Plunder milestone yesterday evening, and we're already done with the full amount now! Soularpower_ managed to grind it out a couple of hours ago in duos, and grabbed the Plunderkind achievement, so huge congratulations! It's been a week and a day since the event was released, and despite there being plenty of Plunder drop buffs since then it's still great to see someone get it all done already. 


      Unsurprisingly, the first thing Soularpower_ after reaching that goal was... play more Plunderstorm! He's actually still at it if now you want to check the stream out.

      Here's our first post-patch look at the Mythic+ log rankings. While the patch didn't really touch any of the DPS or tank specs, there's still some movement there, especially in the raw DPS chart. Healers got some solid changes in the patch, and the definitely had an effect.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top percentiles are extremely stable, which makes sense since the patch didn't really bring any significant changes for DPS specs. We have to go down to number 7 to see the first bit of movement, as Destruction moves two up, leaving its fellow Warlock down in 9th, as Arms gets between them, gaining 3 spots. Havoc closes out the top 10 three down, and right behind it we find the newly buffed Elemental moving three up. While Augmentation is being properly calculated, we still find an Evoker in the bottom 3, as Devastation drops one down and takes Marksmanship's place.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      It took Shadow a little longer to get into the top in the generalist bracket, as we find it in 3rd now, pushing Outlaw down one. Balance also moves up, 2 spots into 6th, as it and Arms take advantage of Havoc's fall. The Demon Hunter finds itself 3 down in 9th, while Fury remains stable at the very end of the top 10.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      While Outlaw remains at the top, pretty much everything's changing beneath it. Shadow and Retribution joined forces and moved two up together, breaking into the top 3. Fire is also on the rise, gaining 3 spots, and right behind it we find another big leaper, as Arms moves a whopping 5 spots up.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      There's actually some solid movement here, as we see Paladin take 2nd away from DK and Druid take Monk down, with Warrior remaining in last place and DH being far ahead of the pack.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Healers had some significant changes with the patch, but it hasn't stopped Monk from remaining at the top. Druid moves into 2nd, taking Discipline Priest down a peg, and it seems the Holy Priest patch reworks helped it out, as it gains a spot in 4th.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      In Dragonflight Season 4, Awakened/Fated raids will be on a weekly rotation.
      Upon accessing the Adventure Guide and navigating to the Raids section, you'll notice a green gem icon beside the raid that's Awakened for the current week.

      When a raid is Awakened, bosses are more powerful and loot drops are upgraded to a higher item level. The upcoming season revisits the Fated system introduced in Shadowlands Season 4.
    • By Staff
      We've already taken a look at all the items coming to the Trading Post next month, as the Season 4 PTR revealed them, but now let's see them in movement as well! MrGM has detailed everything coming in April, from the awesome Dreadwake mount to a pretty cool polearm, some new capes, and all the other pirate-themed items. Let's take a look. 

      If you'd rather just scroll through some images, you can head on to our original post here.
