Enhancement Shaman

For the haste build, can blackout truncheon proc off spells like frost shock or flame shock? Or is it only melee damage that can proc it?

I'm also not a huge fan of ghost iron dragonling right now... its just keeps being fury warrior fuel to the Nth degree and half the time I think I'm yelling about pets, its actually just crappy dragons.

It's much different with heals than it is trying to make things happen solo (obviously). But some of the games even dying 10 times with 1 kill versus a premade the damage is still in the 100k range... which still blows my mind. With that being said getting the Argussian Compass and possibly another survival trinket to try out for general pugs.

I tried the two mastery trinkets out(Tusk/Injector)... they are kind of bonkers when you want to kill a healer, since Mastery effects everything you do DIRECTLY, you basically get double damage when you pop both of them for 10 seconds. Still weighing that out vs. just having 2x +7agility +10 mastery i28 trinkets with speed/gem slot... which is a lot of static stats to lose out on.

I've burned though to many free days I think, my requests are denied :D... might need to resub to gem out the way I really want :(

  • I have headcracker and the truncheon with both elemental force
  • Cudgel and Claw of the watcher with + AP on each (weapon damage was not cutting it).
  • I dont think there is any reason to use green i25s.

IMO if you have high crit elemental force just wins out over time.

I do like the +AP/+AP if you are using both tusk/injector to actually do something like burst down heals.

I think what you stats are will determine what you want to use.

I gotta be honest, I’ve been running into some frightening Enhance Shammys.
Certainly some big numbers coming out of them since the last patch.

Theyve always been quite underrated at 20, and now they’re even stronger
 
can't talk much about 20's but my 10 Enhance can really tear things up .. love playing him but hate getting kicked from dungeons because levelers don't know what a twink is and accuse me of hacking because my damage is insane :/

Call to arms.

Somebody make a healing focused enhancement shaman with 2x fist of stone and price of progress.

ultimate meme spec

my boy @ShinyHero is also testing.

2*fist of stone is probably enough, just a wild guess
 
Not enough procs on 2x fist... even if you go all out with trinkets/using the crown of flames its not enough... and your heals are funky giving up something like the headcracker and the trunch.

You can get lucky... but most of the time you are just enhance doing 60% dps with no mana.

Spellhance is pretty good tho with the reaper.

This will 100% be true, but imma go ahead and get the setup anyway.
 
Note: After looking at both options in general stacking all agility/2+2 gems on BC gem gear is the same damage as using haste/mastery gear (not counting 3 socket chest/legs)... so if you are not going to go for +speed +leech i28s won't do much.
 
@Lateraldrop while you only have 1 fist. Can you equip it in the offhand and make sure it still procs there?

that will save you some time in case it doesn’t for whatever reason.

thanks for humoring my meme shaman requests ;)
[doublepost=1646762269,1646761987][/doublepost]Also. +weapon damage or agility at least on main hand will increase the healing by a decent amount.

if you wanted to go full stupid you could look into getting a spellsurge enchant(s) although I would definitely test that first on ptr as the proc rate is not great. I can help you there on ptr for testing as I have some enchants over there

I checked oh it can proc there. I'll look into spell surge, no reason not to go full on with the build imo
[doublepost=1646767902][/doublepost]Is agi change better than the attack power one?

Its +10 AP... the only thing you would have to check is that if +10AP AND +10AP... is better than +weapon damage and +10AP... I have not tested it since they messed with the +weapon damage enchant.

After that you would want to sharpen/weightstone your weapons instead of using windfury/flametougne.

That would be your best numbers boost for a goofy healing build.

The price of progress would probably be your trinket 1... and there is another trinket I cant remember the name that procs a mana over time buff.

Last boss from Botanica. (Shitty) Mana refund on proc passive + 40vers on use active. But mana refund is like 30 mana total, totally not worth..

I mean... 30 mana though is basically 1 heal... you only get 4 on an enhance before you are out of mana... so I'd take it... unless there is something better. And your mana pool is only 178.

EDIT: it says 17 every 3 seconds... that would be another heal after 6 seconds basically factored in with mana regen. Digging deep here anyways, might as well go all in on a meme build.

good catch.

I agree w Jade, no reason not to go all-in on it, even a low amount of mana is a decent % of enh total mana bar.
 
my dps has gone up considerably since the most recent patch.

Gear wise I feel like running the usual tbc socket gear with ilvl 28 neck/wrist/cloak/rings with crit mastery is the way to go, for me at least. You can substitute the ilvl 28 wrist and cloak from atal and freehold respectively.
Right now frost shock is my second highest damage at 18% 1% under melee with 600+ crits. While flameshock dot with the talent is top on bosses. 300 Crits lol.
43% Crit
38% mastery
This is in dungeons though since I resubbed to regem some toons so I cant test in bgs. Although enjoy just cranking out dungeons anyway.
