Enhancement Shaman DPS Simulations — The War Within (11.1.7)

Raidbots is an online tool that lets you simulate and compare gear, traits, talents and more for your character. In modern WoW, it is an essential tool in optimizing your performance. Every high-end and self-respecting DPS player uses Raidbots on some level to figure out what they should use. It is extremely simple to use and we have a complete guide for it that you can access with the link below.

With the advent of certain tools such as Raidbots, simulating your character has now become simple enough that we can recommend even the average player to sim their character. It is through advanced simulations that many of the recommendations in this guide are found. By doing your own, you can easily figure out what talents you should use with your particular gearing combination, what gear to equip, what trinkets to use, and more. Below, there is a video guiding you on how to sim your character. Underneath that, you will find some generic simulations that apply to most people.

Accurately simulating Enhancement in dungeons can be difficult because of how much its priority and damage shifts depending on the layout. The Dungeon Slice profile is roughly accurate in most cases and does account for cooldown holding, but it is a much broader estimation. To assess gear, while it can be time-consuming, for the most accuracy, we recommended doing short simulations of single-target, 5-6 target, and then extended ones of either these or Hectic Add Cleave. Depending on the dungeon, these can be taken to estimate the best between them all. A quick solution can be to use the Hectic Add Cleave profile to give a general sense of many situations.
