Well instant ghost wolf, Purge, Frost shot, Earthbind? and flame shock and so on ? Why no enhancement shamans lvl 24?

[font=times new roman,times,serif]Shamans have been a black sheep of WoW for years. It takes a certain mindset to play them and there's certainly a trend that if you're not flat out dogging people into the ground in PvP, then you're class sucks. For a lot more enhance shamans to arise, word just needs to get out on how powerful they can be.[/font]

i have a decent geared enh shammy i enjoy http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/shattered-halls/Totem%C3%ACc/simple .
But the problem with enh shammys is their low dmg compared to other twinks. a feral/ret/hunter will deal way more dmg. but a shammy can be insane combined with a heavy dps class like a ret pala or warrior who lack the interupts and purges a shammy has. It's basically lack of heavy dps (gief stormstrike) that keeps most shamans away from rolling enhancement

They are rare. You don't see a lot of them, but that's why I have one.

enhancement sham's have not always been blacksheep
- BC in 29 bracket they rocked with weapon and shield, especially alliance due to having a blue axe BC enchantible, horde side had a green axe BC enchantible,
- BC in 19's you saw mostly res or ele. some of the BC 19 shams still play..maybe they can chime in.
- BC in 49's they picked up DW and they dominated the bracket. was very hard to twink gear a 49 shaman, but in 49 they were like what ret-pals were at the start of wotlk
- WOTLK in 19 bracket they rocked due to instant GW glyph (nerfed cata - removed) , blizz also made GW unslowable below normal normal run speed (nerfed cata), also were able to do killer and near unstoppible self heals due to be able to put talent points in all trees (nerfed cata). hunters didn't have DE, SS, and bottomless CS were easy for a e-sham to get on and slow thru EBT and wipe them. rogues were trash and easy candy for e-shams. they were also hell for healers to deal with
- CATA for 19's nerfed/buffed/changed it all, and made ele-spec pretty much the spec
- CATA for 20-24, res-shams come into power and are quite the healers and very hard to kill, ele-spec also thrive
overall enh-shams are like warriors now imo, they do well to stay with groups, hunters, healers and provide support. 1 vs 1 against melee classes like rogues/warriors can do quite well, due to EBT slows, etc.
- MOP will be interesting for all the sham specs, it appears as now with the 15 point talent that shams are getting frost shock at low level

That I did! But I had to get the BoA's and all. it has probably been a year since I played that shaman when he was 19.

I think enhancement sham's are fun, I think they hit at a decent rate because they also hit really fast also, they can do alot of damage really fast with the fire totem up, this is my sham went for hit cap... http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/alexstrasza/Renid/simple which i enjoy
