[5.4.8] Enhancement Shaman Discussion

[casmet]

so... what happened to enha.... the fire nova was repaired or what?

[Erudax]

Yes, Fire Nova no longer deals damage to your target, but rather to enemies near it. Enha is still top-tier on AoE, but now a bit lower on the charts.
For some random reason Primal Elementals sometimes deal 1-5 damage when summoned. Considering Animus is immune to Unleash Elements, I've decided to take Primal as in my opinion Elemental Blast is garbage. At least their spells deal proper amounts of damage.

it will be nice if ll will work...

Hi orga , still playing on freakz?If yes, how good is enhancement?

[Orga]

Playing ? not really , but i've logged a couple times and last time i checked it was still good , only fire nova got partially fixed but its not a big hit to the spec.

[Orga]

FeelsBadMan T15 2P got fixed but we're already going in P3

[casmet]

Enha down, Ele down, we need to play resto

[Licuriciu]

Regarding Enha on Siege , should there be any changes ? hopefully we will play with Primal Elementalist someday

[Orga]

No real big change here, you'll want to play with Unleashed Fury , and combined with the 4P bonus Unleash Elements becomes your top priority .
Also if a target is too far away from you and you cannot spread Flameshock with LL , it will also be worth to manually Flameshock him up due to the 2p bonus , since there will be a higher chance to reset LL CD , and about LL resets , just adapt to your procs mid-fight and try to make the best decision .

Orga if you have the time with the feedback from all the players regarding the changes since I posted the guide and until now ( I totally lack free time to update the existing one), feel free to edit it

The mastery>crit>haste & full agil sockets is still working but if u got Assurance of Consequence the best choice is to play mastery>haste>crit with full mastery sockets because u must focus on burst because is 37 secs early.

!! So if u don`t have Assurance of Consequence the best build is mastery>crit>haste and full agil sockets and enchants. !!

I think u all know there are many ways to play a class depending on items,specially trinkets.A trinket or a 2 set or 4 set bonus can change an entire build,from a stat to another

A guide is a bit useless in this moment,btw i will never make a guide,to much time and if ppl wants to ask me something i am availiable,as i always answered to all questions about enha till 4.3.4 to this moment.

Ask me there or ingame as Incashu if u need help with rotation or stats,reforge,socketing

[Orga]

Don't have access to your guide Denim , also i haven't been active since the release of Iron Qon , dont have the trinkets under my hands to run some tests etc.

As you can see Primal Elements is now the best choice for enha but did anyone know how it should work?if i summon fire totem with proc of asurance,TED,potion and procs it does 600-650crit or more(150k atack power),after 10-15 second totem does 300k crit...but if i had totem active and then i proc all trinks and potion it does 200k crit...so how it works then?
1 If totem take my stats when i use it why the damage decreases?(i mean the snapshot)
2 If totem does damage equal with my atack damage and why when i had 150k it does 600k and sometimes 300k?same procs both situations

So if snapshot isn`t working it must be repaired or the ratio of atack power it`s wrong it must be repaired to(can`t be possible at 60 second with 150k atack to hit 600k and when it is on 30 sec to do 300k with same stats),so Primal Elementalist doesn`t work well atm
Same thing for Earth elemental

Update for enha shaman dps
Fire Elemental Totem does not benefit from haste so avoid to use hero and then call the totem,try to summon totem and after that use hero
Stats Hit 8,5-9 with expertise 6,5-6 for the 15% spell hit cap,full mastery and then crit(if you reach a cap don`t reforge to much over the line because it doesn`t count more,ex:if u had 40,85 it`s the same as you have 40(totem benefit from crit)
Sockets:
1)full 320 mastery and use adept when u have ONLY red sockets for the socket bonus(ex:for weapons with red socket u can choose to use 320 mastery or 80agil+160 mastery ,the second socket give u 60 more agil because u will activate socket bonus ->320 mastery or 140agil+160 mastery=>160 mastery for 140 agil .a raport of 1,14 mastery for 1 agil/Use adept(80 agil-160 mastery) on items with all red sockets(1,2 or 3)You should use mastery instead of agil just in case raport is 2 mastery for 1 agi
2)for 2x blue sockets use 2x320 mastery
3)yellow spots just mastery
