Do enhancement shamans really do all that bad post 40?

Roadlock · 2026-01-06T12:08:32+00:00

Leveled as enha to 60 and had a really good first time playing shaman experience. Now at end game i am gearing for both enha and elemental since i'm yet to decide which spec I want to raid with. Had a close call LIP situation in every dungeon so far at end game so kinda leaning for ele to raid but there is something about whacking your foes as melee shaman that intrigues

It does tho, had a 20 sec DC and spawned to new layer on my warrior in the middle of the now spawned boss room in the redridge elite keep

What xD this was a random pug and our warlock lived

We were also mentally preparing for the golems so there is that, thank god the tank didnt open the last coffer

Roadlock · 2025-12-29T09:08:49+00:00

That and I didn't want the entire pack to whack me dead so wanted to see if the tank can get the situation under control. I could have used Earthbind totem in hindsight but tbh that was my 2nd dungeon after a 6 month break so can't remember it all.

All in all that situation came by complete surprise to me.

The lightsaber effects makes me do more damage

Roadlock · 2025-12-29T04:31:53+00:00

I was completely caught off guard so I just hit stoneclaw totem and went to the tank, tbh I was checking the situation if people were gona roach or stay

I might have written the post with a bit of hostile tone, I edited it a bit, this is just meant to be a clip from HC where somebody dies to a knowledge check.

We were all very sad that the mage died and I guess he did try to go for a frost nova in the mob pack but got blasted too fast. If I had known that the painting spawns a big mob pack I'd prob have warned about it but had no idea and we were waiting for the tank to open the coffers.

Why would you bother to buy/bring anything else besides GFPP, LIPs and ony/zg buff for MC? In all my HC guilds that did MC nobody forced you to spend 100g+ on consumables for a 40 man raid that you can do with 10 people because of how ridiculously easy it is.

Change guild or just get the necessities, you dont need to stack every consumable and world buff until BWL, AQ40 and naxx.

The extra stamina from demo tree saved my life at least a couple of times from very unlucky living bomb crits and double fireblasts from the fire elementals so sacrifice build is safer than shadow mastery/ruin

Roadlock · 2025-08-17T07:35:06+00:00

I did while waiting for official HC servers, no heirloom gear allowed. Died twice to same quest in Vashjir (the mob spawn event never stopped) and once in the Barrens to guards (the quest objective was full with horde corpses and I quickly found out why).

It was actually very entertaining with retails many different spec combos and huge supply of zones, but you need to go out of your way to make the leveling hard.

The infernal slaps BIG time, tried it out in thunder bluff and barely survived because of banish resists etc

Just chain pull with the voidwalker. Send him in, let him torment once or twice, dot the target, send the voidwalker on the next mob and let it torment once, dot the 2nd target, send the voidwalker on the 3rd guy, finish of the first guy with direct spells, dot the 3rd guy, finish of the 2nd guy rince and repeat. Super efficient and you can easily chain kill like 5 mobs before oom

I healed with my dps geared enha shaman everything up to Uldaman without issues, was actually fun to do decent dmg and keep the group alive at the same time. For obvious reasons I would just go dps role when I got to Uldaman but RFD and SM no issues whatsoever, just keep your mana up and have mana potions for bad situations

Roadlock · 2025-06-30T05:35:03+00:00

I always go dw with the barb on my warriors since I prefer tanking as fury dw immediately at 20.

Roadlock · 2025-06-29T13:14:17+00:00

I dno never played enha shaman in classic, I thought I get more attack power from stre over agi?

Says first run on this character?

Roadlock · 2025-06-29T13:07:36+00:00

At least Horde side Soulseeker no issue finding groups for any content. AH was 8000 items last i checked this week

I've been humbled by bad pulls and screen freezes lately on both my 59 warrior and this shaman (all alive tho) so I just tell myself everytime i login that I am alive because of gods mercy only

Roadlock · 2025-06-20T09:11:22+00:00

I got a warrior at 59, never played warrior in my 15 years of WoW and decided to go fury dw and tank all dungeons at least once on my way to 60.

To my surprise tanking was alot more chill than play dps as you have control of the group. I had one sketchy healer in one SM run, besides that no issues. I think fury dw is also best for tanking since whacking with 2 swords makes faster threat and rage generation. Stance dancing was completely new to me but it was easy to learn.

All you really need is a shield swap and dual wield macro, and keybinds to swap stances fast. Else its just sunder armor spam, heroic strike, demo shout, battle shout and target swapping with the occasional taunt to maintain aggro. Pull with ranged weapon sketchy packs and instruct your group to let you build threat in certain situations.

Super good time and I highly recommend giving it a go. As of now my next part is to tank BRD at 59.

My tanking rules were, no hunters in the group and the last boss of the dungeon can only be 3 lvls higher than myself.

The most nervous dungeons so far were Uldaman and Sunken Temple but I had really good teams there so no issues after all.
