I’m a Hunter, all I get is a, “nice you hit tranq shot” massage… so I might be a little salty.

Also Warriors keep Charging me at 35 yards so.

Annihilator or Nightfall. Both Blacksmithing weapons.

It all depends on spec/gear you are using/play style.

It’s usually 3 weapons with weapon swap.

HoEtO which does instant cast and more.

They understand but it’s a lot of other factors. Few classes can still be theory crafted. Shaman/Druid/Paladin have a lot of potential.

What r u try to do?

The bis for an enhance shaman will be Might of Menethil.
If they let you enhance you should buy a Nightfall. It half way justifies your raid spot with the 15% increase to magic dmg. Shamans dont have the best uptime with it tho.

The only 2h you will ever raid with is a nightfall. Anything else is going to be for outside raids. But given that there’s very weak choices early on, nightfall ends up being best anyway. I don’t know why you’d waste your money on an arcanite reaper; that’s gold that could have went to your nightfall. Only good free options are unstoppable force (AV) or spinal reaper (ragnaros), but good luck getting a raid to let you have that. That proc is best put on a warrior, so most raids are only going to let warriors take it. (I hope that remains true on my realm because I wouldn’t mind one on my own warrior.)

After T1, there’s more options in BWL.

Ragnaros’ hammer with fiery enchant :^)

There is a pvp montage of an enhancement with a Hand of Ragnaros wrecking toons with windfury. It’s just clips set to some music, but this hammer is considered one of the better weapons for enhancement shaman.

I broke up the link a bit to get it to post. Paste the link, and remove the spaces if your interested. Or do some searching on youtube for ‘Classic Enhancement Hand of Ragnaros’.

Realistically, unstoppable force AV 2h.

Farmable, nightfall 2h axe. Spell dmg proc.

Raid drops, hand of rag for a proc.

Dream drop, Naxx’s might of menethil.

The old Unbreakable vid…

Spinal Reaper until Cthun. Then Dark Edge of Insanity off him. The. To finish off in Naxx you’ll want Might of Menethil

But if you want to help your raid and go to pound town until Cthun get Nightfall

hand of rag i would assume… or crap… what do i know… i’m not a dang shaman piss off! :slight_smile:

You’ll use Nightfall and like it. Otherwise there’s no reason to take you on a raid.

Might of Menethil, full stop.

Honorable mentions for Dark Edge of Insanity in PvP.

Overall raid effectiveness: Nightfall

Personal highest DPS: Might of Menethil

You will never get any of the raid weapons because you will be healing so don’t worry about it.

Pretty sure the path based on phases is, arcanite reaper, spinal reaper, edge of insanity, and might of menithil
Edit: throw nightfall in whichever phase it becomes available (3 i think?)

People saying he won’t get weapons have never heard of DKP and attendance. Although you can have DKP rules, even though they kind of defeat the purpose.

I’m gunning for the Death Bringer off Ony and Malistar’s off Rag because there’s PVP in this game and unironically trying to PVP with a 2 hander is really stupid, like it’s cool for a heavily edited highlight video, but swinging around a 2h with 3.5 speed is suicide, which is why the Ele/enh spec back then was called “The Suicide spec”, which is mostly only good against unsuspecting clothies.

You wanna go “Rogue Eater” spec, which is 1h+shield, plus points in resto, with parry and shield block. I mean, YOU don’t actually want to do this, but this is how shaman’s PVP. Using a 2 hander turns you into a ghetto, gimpy warrior.

Depends on your endgame goals, but probably either Sulfuras or Dark Edge Insanity.

If you’re actually good at shaman PVP, you should have both 1h+shield and 2h, and swap between them as is appropriate for the current fight.
