So still trash in pvp? Fantastic. Guess ill move on to some flavor of death knight instead of what I wanted to play.
You’re…. Too inept to insult.
Sounds like you were a victim in the retpocalypse misunderstanding 
Ascendance remains the most powrful 3 min cd of all time
You lost me at 3 min lol. Nobody wants that….
Enhancement is fine. - Blizzard
Enhancement’s core gameplay is great as is. I’m really glad Blizzard is keeping it relatively untouched. Don’t fix something that isn’t broken. Adding the defensives is a big win for PvP too, as that’s all that was really needed.
Something to GET YOU to your target would have been better. Even a 1 min essentially grappling hook isnt going to cut it will all the mobility in the game now.
You mean like Feral Lunge? That was made baseline now too. No need to even spend a talent on it!

Years ago it would have been good enough, now you do that and they leap away, disperse away, hover away, blink away, steed away, invis I could go on about how many escapes there are out there and once you have got away once you know the shaman has nothing to get to you again.
You could take lightning lasso, or just put them in a cage of lightning, or take one of our movement speed enhancing abilities. If you are having trouble making contact, there are a lot of tools. Enhancement is definitely not a wheelchair spec.
They just haven’t fixed it to refer to all shamans.
It’s in the general tree.
Every node in that tree is useable by all specs.
Enhance had a different version (25% vs 30% for resto/ele). So they presumably borrowed the resto/ele version for the general tree and need to update to include enhance.
Goods new might be that they are keeping it at 30% for all specs which would be a small buff for enhance vs live.
What defense? A totem sheild you have to sit in order for it to work? Not much of a defensive if u cant get away from burst
Elementalist ENH is looking good for me at least paired with stormbringer. Crash Lightning now being somewhat mandatory is fine. The Windfury spec is still looking kind of whack. Totemic looks cool but the talents don’t really jive with the storm builds.
Shaman tree looks decent you will be able to pick up all the utility you want plus finally we get Stone Bulwark Totem back.
Bro Totemic needs to be redesigned somehow so it shifts it’s profile to Storm/Lightning stuff if you are running the Windfury build.
Nah you don’t have to sit in it.
So once i put the totem down i get the sheild and the refresh no matter if i.move around or try to escape a chasing pvper?
Yea, I’m sure the 3 enhancement shamans I saw the last week outside arena agree with you. Can’t upset those 3 players!!!

That’s garbage…. Have you ever pvp with enh and used that to stay on target?
Lol, would you apply that same rhetoric to demonology warlock? Because the spec as it stands is completely ‘fine’, yet it is getting absolutely banger changes which amplify how good the spec already felt.
Enhancement has remained just about exactly the same throughout the entirety of DF. It could do with some updates.

The issue is that because of placement and pathing of our talents tree, we are super restricted with how we use our talent points due to having a lot of 2-point nodes. This is a huge issue because we lose so much stuff to get the talent points for the Hero Talents that it ruins a lot of builds. The new changes hurt us more because while they removed WFT out of the tree they then stuck Flurry in its place. They also made that we have to talent Focus Insight which is essentially a wasted point and removed the path form that node to Elemental Weapons which is mandatory. This an issue for Elementalist since your options are to talent Crash Lighting which is useless in single target and only is valuable if there is high uptime cleaving adds while the 2nd option is to grab Storms Warth which has a very low impact.
Storm runs into the issue where they are faced with the choice of going all in on AoE/Cleave or Single target with the consequence of being bad at the other. This was a problem for Storm always but the inflexibility now makes it worse.
Yeah… Feral Lunge is pretty great for doing so. If you’re having trouble keeping in contact with Enhancement in PvP (arenas at least) then I suggest re-evaluating how you are using it in tandem with the rest of your kit. You might just be misplaying it.
