Just allowing us to do windfury + windfury and then nerfing doom winds slightly.
It’s not a bug. It’s a feature.
Get rid of flametongue from enhance and give it back to ele as a spell power buff.
Rework lava lash to synergize with flame shock as enhancements melee version of lava burst.
Give the players what they want (windfury/windfury).
And make windfury totem “Windfury Aura”
“When windfury procs, your allies weapons are imbued with the wind, giving a 20% chance for an extra swing”
Enhance low damage is really starting to piss me off tbh. I’m doing my sim dps give or take depending on fights but I’m out dps’d by a other classes 5-10 ilevel lowerthan me like wtf this is such bs.
I’ve been through logs etc with people who know this stuff and I’m doing what i need to do with rotation etc and yet the spec just lacks any decent single target dps…I’m so over this, if it wasn’t the need to have WF totem in the melee group for raids i wouldn’t even get a spot. Don’t get me started on M+ instant deny as well when people see enhance. FIX YOU SHIZ BLIZZ, BALANCE YOUR DAMN GAME
They could just buff Flametongue by like 100-200%. It’s boring sure, but it’s probably the best way to increase our dps without overtuning some one ability to make it over powered.
I like that 16 years have passed and Windfury still can’t be balanced.
Small indie dev team.
Personally I’d like the option to use Frostbrand in offhand. Just for pvp though, cause enhance is actually pretty easy to kite and that’s not well-known.
Weirdly the double windfury bug didnt even put shamans at the very top, though. Not sure what that says about them or the best classes.
I do miss the effect, and flametongue and lava lash are preeeeetty underwhelming, but that kind of tradeoff is way beyond what basically anyone else has to give up anymore.
I think they could just outright return the Frostbrand glyph from WoD and it’d be fine, honestly. I wish they would.
I’ve been saying this since beta, there was zero point in bringing back imbues in their current form. They should of allowed us to make different styles of builds up with the type of imbue we use, bringing back Frostbrand and Frostfire would of been excellent. Even Rockbiter as a defensive option, for example giving us a hefty leech buff perhaps?
I wouldn’t expect many changes now, not till 10.0.
I wouldn’t expect any major changes til 9.1.
But we do need changes, and there’s plenty they can do with our kit to improve it without adding new stuff.
We wouldn’t likely get anything game changing in 9.1 though, maybe replace 1 or 2 talents, maybe make something passives, or give something a buff. But in 10.0 they could remake shaman in to what everyone is asking for.
For now, I’d be happy with some kind of anti cc, such as ascendance makes you immune to stun, root, silence. Or earth shield is instead earthern armor, buffing our armor passively, allowing us to maintain a strong passive defense while still using lightning shield.
These would be great for pvp obv. For pve we just need our consistent dmg to be buffed. our burst is fine, and would naturally be buffed as a result… but we just do too little damage for the skill cap and lack of reason for people to take us.
This would be the epitome of OP, honestly. I get what you’re saying, though - we need SOMETHING to survive a stunlock.
Our “rotation” is simply too demanding and needs help, too. Seems like we aren’t hitting nearly the numbers we should be for the insane amount of keybinds JUST in our rotation.
