Elemental and Enhancement PvP playstyle question

Classes Shaman
1

Hi everyone! I’m just started playing the patch, but i can’t decide between ele and enh for pvp (arena mostly). Can I get some advice or some pros or cons?

I read some guides that says ele is more a sustain dmg spec and enh the same, but with higher burst.

I want to know the playstyle of both, considering too some aspects like:

  • sustain dmg
  • burst dmg
  • utility
  • heals
  • defensives

Thanks a lot.

Enhancement

  • Wolves as soon as gate opens to start generating stacks
  • Ghost wolf if you have the Damage Reduction talent
  • Spam Stormstrike to fish for resets, purge shields/buffs, wind shear heals, grounding totem big spells
  • Earth shield enemy kill target
  • earthgrasp to peel for allies, static field to kill target
  • Doom Winds after defensives to pressure a kill, cross hex CC
  • Cap totem follow-up on an ally’s CC
  • use stacks to off-heal, or self-heal

Elemental

  • NEVER. HARD. CAST. (You will hard cast some stuff, but Ele is the most mobile caster, it is nasty)
  • Flame Shock on everyone
  • Totems for utility as above
  • Purge/Wind Shear as above
  • Cross Hex as above
  • Skyfury totem + Stormkeeper + Earth shock + Lava Burst is big dam
  • Icefury and the Frost Shock talent beneath that gives dmg bonus to other spells gives you something to bait interupts with — also lets you use frost shock to increase dmg (you technically never need to cast Icefury)
  • KITE KITE KITE
  • Spiritwalker’s Guidance
  • Cross CC with Lightning Lasso, or use it to secure kill when ally cross CC’s
  • Frost Shock everything to peel, kite, etc.
