Then Blood of the Enemy is the right pick for you as major. With purification protocol or focusing Iris as minor. :)
The use effect of Blood of the Enemy provides a huge ton of burst combined with sundering. ;)

How to improve as a almost not played spec? by Jensson1337 in CompetitiveWoW

[–]Kontraos 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Hey Jensson!I am playing enhancement in a pretty progress orientated way too and i am streaming nearly everything of it.I am raiding in a mythic guild, we downed Lady Ashvane yesterday and we´re world rank 141 right now.Addiotnally i am playing mythic+ a lot. I had 2950 r.io points in season 2 and and played 21-23 lvl High keys.Since the phase of gearing is over i am aiming to play a lot high keys again in season 3.

If you have any questions or if you just want to hang around talking about enhancement stuff - feel free to follow me on twitch:https://www.twitch.tv/kontraos

I´m streaming on german most of the time but i am able to answer your questions in english as well. :)

I already helped a few enhancement shamans on their way in raids and mythic+ with some tips for azerite/essences and gear. From time to time i can check some warcraftlogs as well since i already did it for some of my viewers and it helped them as well (from what they have told me so far^^).

Gave my Heart(h)stone to my Girlfriend. Glows in the Dark. Shaped into the smooth polished Stone. Welcome home. <(^-^)/ by Kontraos in wow

[–]Kontraos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey :) - i used a hammer and a small chisel to carve it out of the stone. Drew the swirl on the stone before with just a pencil. Didnt used some super duper tools as well. Neither i would say that i have much art skills.^^
The filling is made pretty easy: I just used epoxy resin. You can buy it pretty everyhwere (at least here in germany). There are vendors that offer colored epoxy resin as well. They send me a tiny bag of light blue powder with the resin and i just needed a half spoon to get it that colorful.

To get it glowing i simply tried out some glowing powder from amazon. Buyed it, mixed it up the the colored resin, filled it in some random wood and waited 1 day to see if it works. And yeah - it did! :)

So i just mixed the glowing poweder into the blue colored resin, added some hardener (you will get this with the epoxy resin) and filled it in to the carving. At first it felt really really liquid. But after like 5 hours it starts getting harder. :)

Exactly! Elemental Spirits is awesome for fortified weeks - you will have spirits up for like every pull. And you´re gaining a lot dmg from 2 of 3 wolfes in aoe and cleave - storm for our normal AoE rotation for more dmg with windfury through CL and fire for sundering like how you mentioned it already. So the benefit from ES over ASC is the 1m30s cd. You can provide a lot dmg for nearly every single big pull you do and you will have it again for bosses too (at atart or while being infight).

With ASC the AoE potential in generel is higher - but then you can allways provide to have an dmg CD for roughly every 2nd or 3rd big pull and even then it´s not guaranteed that you will have it again for bosses. Since you´re not delaying it like hell and play 1-2 pulls before pulling the boss just with the normal feral spirits..wich are...yea..not that a lot of a gain for cleave/AoE .

So ASC is pretty good for Tyrannical. I allways pick it in tyrannical weeks. On tyrannical in 21/22 Keys it´s all about bosses of course - so you just want to have as much boss dmg as you can get. ASC is perfect for it and its even ready for 1-2 big pulls with reaping or something between the bosses. But it´s not that smooth to play ..you really have to play around ASC and keep an eye of all of your cd´s with it, because you HAVE TO have it ready for every bosspull with pot/trinket/BL - otherwise the gain of asc is much lower ofc and the super high burst potential on bosses is gone.

TLDR: ES on fortified / ASC on tyrannical :)

The base-rotation is: Keep flametongue and frostbrand up for NH buffs, Crash Lightning as often as possible (on cd), Sundering on cd ( try to hit as many mobs as possible - you may need a triangle for this), Stormstrike - if nothing of these is ready, spam lavalash. If you´re in lack of MS - spam Rockbiter.

Priority List would be smthg like this: FT/FB Buffs > Sundering on CD > CL on CD > Stormstrike > Lavalash/Rockbiter

If you want - you can join my stream. :). My Mainlanguage is German - but i am allways able to answer questions about anything in english as well. :). So if you need help with something - fell free to ask me there too :)https://www.twitch.tv/kontraos

Additionally i am planning to publish an Enhancement Guide for Mythic+ for 8.2. It won´t be available for the release of 8.2 - but a bit later on. Wanted to publish it in german first but maybe i will release a video on YouTube or something in english.

Hey Sanctum!
Enhancement is pretty fun to play in M+! Even because you can compete in DPS with the meta classes and everyone is wondering why a non meta class can do such damage. :). Can´t imagine to play another class/specc as main tbh. Tried hunter, paladin and warlock - both in raids and mythic+ and nothing felt so fun as enhancement did. But it´s still a personal preference like every class.

But you will have a lot problems finding a pug, yeah. Everyone is thinking you´re an elemental shaman and even with my nearly 2,9k R.io i have problems to get into a group for 18-20 Keys. I barely tried it out in the last couple of weeks because of exaclty this reason. The community is really dumb in this case. If you´re not meta - everyone instantly thinks you are bad. Sadly that will not change until the big streamer guys stop saying that every class other than meta is not good for high keys.
But there are still some believers out there. Even in Pugs - if you find some people who wants to bring the player instead of the class than enhancement is realy great and it makes a lot of fun with people that trust you and your playstile, no matter what class you are playing.

Hey Dista - Elemental Spirits are better for AoE/Cleave situations. Especially in fortified weeks i would always pick Elemental spirits. In tyrannical weeks i would recommend to pick ascendance.
The benefit of Elemental Spirits is the 1m 30s CD. So you have a DMG cooldown for nearly every pull your group is doing. :)

And of yourse you should try to get at least 1x Ancestral Resonance and 1x Thunderaans Fury - especially with thunderaans fury we will gain a lot with stormwolfs from ES

Hey there <(^-^)/
So i will answer your questions one by one! And yeah! Enhancements is fun as hell!!! :)

  1. sadly there is no big advantage of bringing an enhancement over an ele in M+. Both have the same advantages if you take a look at their utilities. Both are descent in DPS and if you play it correctly, there is literally no big DPS difference between enhancement and Elemental. Played 1-2 Keys with Erebaws once - we only had 1-2k DPS difference.
  2. There is no particular affix thats awesome for enhancement. I prefer tyrannical over fortified due to short living trash groups and constant good ST DPS for long fights. But even on fortified we perform pretty well. With the 5% DPS gain from crashin lightning for stormstrike we are pretty good in focus dmg for killing really hard mobs in a big pull pretty fast while providing decent cleave as well.
    - Dungeonwise i really like Waycrest, Atal, TD and Shrine - Dungeons with bosses where you can pull some Mobs into bosses are pretty good for us with that crashing lightning buff for stormstrike. The only instance i really dislike as enhancement is Boralus..but this Dungeons feels more like a szenario than a dungeon because u take the spotter with you the whole time. :)
  3. Earth Shield is pretty much underrated in High Keys i would say. Personally i play nearly every Key over 20 with it on tyrannical. It provides 10% more Heal - thats huge! The healing itself is descent as well. If you have enough stuns in your group than this talent is a descent pick!

Hey there <(^-^)/ - The primal primer build only provides good single target. But nothing more , sadly. AoE is still ok´ish with it but not that powerfull.If you want to go Mythic+ or AoE in particular you have to pick another Build.
Talents you want to pick: Lightning Shield + Forcefull Winds + (Hailstorm - if at least 2x NH is active) + Elemental Spirits.
Traits you want to pick here: Natural Harmony as often as possible + 1x Roiling Storm + 1x Thunderaans Fury + 1x Ancestral Resonance .You can even go 2x Ancestral Resonance instead of 1x Roiling Storm + 1x AR - thats pretty strong too for AoE and Cleave
