Are you guys satisfied of the results you're getting out of your enhancement shamans in both PvE and PvP envirement?

About PvP:

First of all, there remain 1 bug important for enha, Lava Lash dmg is very very low (with 10 sec cd skill, 47% mastery, 49% pvp power and 28k AP, 19k dmg is extremly low) and MW don't work properly when it's about to make from 4 stacks->5 stack, sometimes lasts 5-6 sec (even with the 2p bonus from pvp gear).

In pvp i can't pronounces surely for now, i'm waiting to take the full malevolent gear, but at the moment (without donate wpn elite/pve) you can go with some work and time 2,2k, but hard, there are a lot of classes above shaman, regardly what happen on blizz where shamans was goodlike.

I have seen 1 million Ele blast crit, enhance shamans are the beast ..BTW I think all of the classes are at their peak in this expansion..it;s mainly player dependant no class is at the bottom..

Ok, lets do an overall Q&A about enhancement now and in the future...

1. Atm mastery is the best stat for enhas, when and why is haste going to get better, or maybe it'll be better to balance the two of them?
2. Needless to say that Elemental Blast is working like a charm atm, and it gets even better with 4p from t14 - so, is there any point to take any of the other 2 talents? If not, when will there be, and why?

Thanks,
Sova.

Hey, Sova!
Here's some tooltips on your t6 talents and your secondary stats priority:
- Elemental blast will be best untill you reach t14heroic gears. At this point theorycraft says Unleashed fury is best.
- Tier15 all the talents are roughly equal.
- Tier16 Unleashed fury is superior.
- At BiS gear Primal Elementalist is best with unleashed fury being very close.

As for stats:
In all tiers you basicly wants to follow the pattern: Agi>Hit/Exp caps>Mastery>Haste>Crit

Cheers, Ash.

Talents depend on the gear you have , always aim for tier bonuses / special trinkets like the AoC


You might want to go haste for throne of thunder , gonna test with a friend and keep you guys updated when the time comes

Haste becomes better in phase 2. This has to do with several aspects:
- Flurry benefits a lot from more haste that phase 2 gear (throne of thunder gear) has.
- This in turn enables a few nice things: more chance to proce Maelstrom Weapon / more "ticks" on Flametongue Weapon / more chance to proc Windfury on cooldown
- More auto-attack damage
- More Expertise / Hit numbers = quicker hit / exp capped
- Haste scales faster than mastery / crit

Basically you try and maximize your ability to proc passive effects, with the addition that you can hit fast with relative slow weapons.

As you mentioned; T14 benefits the use of Elemental Blast, thanks to the additional crit chance.

> T15 seems to slightly favor Elemental Blast. Thanks to the 100% gain of 2 Maelstrom Stacks you can guarantee Elemental Blast on cooldown.

> T16 seems to favor Unleash Elements, at least as a more precise / active skill in rotations. This set does not favor any L90 talent in a similar way that T14 does.

The later tier sets have a lower emphesis on specific talents, making the use of the other talents more interesting. RAWR elementals
