Blizz please

Make Stormstrike and Windfury do nature damage that is all.

Also please give us a better cooldown than Ascendance.

ascendance being baseline
elemental spirits being the defined talent choice
and earthen spike either being baseline or moved to a different tier would be nice imo

ascendance and elemental spirits would feel particularly good
earthen spike was more impactful when overcharge was more relevant but that should come back as a viable combo in pvp imo

ascendance needs some re work imo maybe 20secs and 1.5m cd and they can work on lowering the gcd of other abilities

would make it feel better.

all blizzard really has to do is buff windfury damage and enhancement would be fine.

and switch windfury from the ramp up it is now to static damage.

windfury damage is already really high compared to mop/wod/legion

nobody who actually plays the game wants more passive damage sources

we want decision making to matter not ‘left click and make a sandwich’

its a ramp up right now im talking about making it flat damage and there are people that want windfury back to the way it used to be.

its a press one button stormstrike sandwich right now…lol.

if you can bring fourth someone who wants windfury to be a vast majority of our damage who also is a good player that takes part in any form of relevant content i’ll believe you

but until then, the only people who want WF to be a majority of the enhance damage are casual/non competitive players that dont really understand the impact it would actually have on the game

i said bring it back to what it used to be instead of a ramp up damage like it is now.

and did you not see my post bring back enhancement shamans identity…windfury?

there are people that want it back the way it used to be.

there aren’t good players that want it back the way it was (exclusively 15 years ago btw)

that’s not even being elitist, that’s just explaining why it wouldn’t work and why it’s not good for the game

the point wasnt about good players and enhance isnt that hard to play.

the point is all of the players that want passive damage to be a majority of the damage done are players that aren’t really qualified to have that impactful of an opinion

i’m not qualified to have big impact opinions on how doctors perform surgeries
i wouldn’t go post on some doctor forum about why i think they should go back to 1800s medicine

all i want is windfury to go back to flat damage instead of being a ramp up.

then they could buff windfury and it would be good again.

we will see what they do with windfury for shadowlands the the talent forceful winds is what makes it ramp up so if they remove the talent it will be flat damage once again.

then all windfury needs is a buff.

you have 2 options really

you remove forceful winds
(5 stacks is 400% WF damage)
so you’d need to essentially either
buff windfury but then reduce the procrate by a substantial amount

or keep the 0 stack damage the same and buff the proc rate by a substantial amount

either option is bad because frequent windfury that does 37 damage will still trigger you

and infrequent windfury that randomly does big damage would be far too RNG dependent

some pulls you would randomly do huge damage cause lucky big WF procs
then most pulls you would randomly do almost no damage because all of your abilities have to be scaled down so that rng windfury streaks dont make your damage absolutely unhealable/unchallenged

this ultimately would make enhance inviable in all forms of content and deemed far too random and inconsistent to ever be good for anything

grats you just killed the spec??

the stacking of forceful winds isnt good for pvp on an enhancement and id rather pvp then do m+ as you know so id rahter them remove the stacking so it can be flat damage.

then all they have to do is buff it.remember forceful winds was in bfa only and it could be gone next expansion like gust of winds was gone after legion.

all they really need to do is remove forceful winds and bring back doomwinds

controlling your windfury rng and pushing it into 1 minute cd on use windows will always be better and more thought-based than a random chance to randomly do way too much damage randomly

-random is bad-

waiting for stormbringer procs is as random as you can get and we know enhancements damage comes for stormstrike and stormbrigner procs.

i agree i did have fun rotating doom winds and ascendance it was pretty fun.

we will see what they do forceful wilds is a passive talent just added in bfa it mite be gone next expansion.

Doomwinds made the spec feel so good. I just remember prepatch/etc of Legion feeling so lackluster. Then the moment doomwinds was able to be used thinking “ok, this feels complete”.

doom winds was just a windfury buff cd which you are so against right now.

Doom Winds
Rank 1/0 Artifact

100 yd range

Instant 1 min cooldown

Requires Shaman (Enhancement)
Requires Doomhammer

Unleashes the inner power of the Doomhammer, causing all auto attacks to trigger Windfury, and increasing damage dealt by Windfury by 200% for 6 sec.

I’ve never liked ascendance as a CD. Using that just feels meh.
