Hey Blizzard, I’m trying to do an alt Enh Shaman but I’m struggling to understand why this is still a problem after so many years…
I thought after the rework the spell bloat would be reduced but its still just as bad trying to fit everything on the action bars without giving myself carpel-tunnel with macros.
I have don’t see why I need to have an action bar slot for both Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning or a macro to combine the two…
It would be so great if we could just get one button that does the same amount of damage to either a single or multiple targets, or find some way to combine other similar things like Lava Lash + Lava Burst or Frost Shock + Ice Strike.
Please help!

There’s other classes to play if it’s too much for you!
I really wish people would stop trying to homogenize all the classes to be simplified. Having a spectrum of difficulty in classes is good, it gives those who enjoy piano specs something to do, while still having a plethora of other dps for those who want something more simplistic.
Also, 12 button mouse. Life saver for real. Can get one for like 40 bucks, reddragon is a good brand for it.

There is no reason why they can’t buff Chain Lightning’s damage to the first target and remove LB from enhance at the very least. Having them both serves no real purpose and saying that people should play something else if they don’t want 40+ keybinds is just gatekeeping behavior.
You should be wanting to onboard more people onto the class, especially new players, not telling more people to just go play mage or hunter then wonder why those classes get more attention from the dev team.

It’s almost as if they serve different purposes! With different spell interactions across the kit!
I’m half inclined to just start reporting these things as spam

I just started playing shaman recently. It is very bloated, I agree. I had to stack macro spells with similar cooldowns to get it all going smoothly. The totems are overwhelming as well. Trying to find enough hotkeys and macros to still access them in a pinch without click cast, click place is a lot.
? What if there is a boss with adds, you dont want to damage adds and want to only target boss
I don’t know how that would be possible given the current Enh kit, even spec’ing single target.
But in said hypothetical I guess just don’t cast the spell until ready?
I’m really just wanting help from Blizz to further reduce bloat. If I can fit both Bolt and Chain on my bar great, but there is just so much else to fit as well.
There’s a difference between gameplay issues and people who can’t play the spec properly complaining about it and begging for non-realistic changes so they can alt it for 5 minutes a week

Get an mmo mouse. Bind ctrl and alt to one of the 10/12 keys. That opens up way more binds than you will need. Put other stuff on the mouse as well that you need often like ghost wolf or other things. I have my defensive totems/blust/mount on the mouse too.
Before I got this mouse I had one with 3 buttons on the side and honestly it was still plenty if I used those buttons for modifier keys.

It does feel weird to need to press LB in single target situations. This might be why I also hate pwave too.
