We’re already alright
20% AP is a bit much,
Just give us 10% and don’t break any of our other stuff, please.

It’s kinda silly that it’s a buff that only helps enhance dps in PvE. You’re not going to run it in PvP because that means no Decoy Totem. Tanks may not give the Alpha buff to the other tank because much of Gnomer is 1 tanked and that means the tank is giving it to himself, or getting buffed by an Enh dps.
This is strictly an Enhance DPS buff in strictly Raids. You only nerf things that are too good in PvP.

Based and red pilled.
None of us asked for alpha to give this lol. We’re in a pretty good spot right now. 20% ap boost is not needed.

Maybe this is why shamans are so easily picked on by the developers. They’re the only class that’ll look at a 20% buff and be like “nah I’m good”

I’m more worried this is going to open the door to nerf double rockbiter

If you’re dps, just hope you’re not pulling threat.
I’m gonna be honest, I kind of hope they do. Rockbiter is clearly meant to be the tank imbue, and Windfury/Flametongue the dps imbues
Or rather, buff WF/FT to actually warrant being used for dps

It already is. 2x rockbiter is very hard to use in a raid. WF/FT or some combo of 1 RB and the other is preferred. I am talking general usage outside of raids and pvp.
Sham tank has no problem with mitigation or threat. Tank sham will just throw it on a healer for that 20% ap.
In pvp, people might keep decoy.
MAYBE
20% is a LOT of ap. It might actually be an upgrade over decoy in many situations.
We’ll have to see tuesday if it applies before or after imbue AP bonuses. If it applies after RB AP then it’s kind of nuts.
No, we just don’t have this kind of opportunity too often, I don’t want enh to be #1 by too much and get hit with the nerfbat.
after 20% ap and armour reduction, 1st dps easily.
We saw what happened to the hunters
I still think it won’t be ran in PvP over Decoy and PvE they can adjust it if it’s overkill. I think it’ll be fine.
Not to mention you have to rely on that buff staying on someone. Also what if you are solo in open world? Completely useless at that point.
Nerf rogues and pallies first, then let’s talk.
Anyone with just a little game knowledge can see that enhancement shaman will be the next melee hunter, just watch, you’re not wrong

DW Enhance was in an acceptable spot, it didn’t really need any buffs.
Wasn’t it bottom of charts both this and last phase? As 2H Enh, I’ll have to wait til Tuesday to know myself. Pretty sure we’ll need APto spell power instead

Would rather have an AP > SP conversion than 20% AP.

Enh is 4th on the meters right now.
It would be too easy to abuse AP to SP even at 10%… shamans can get 1200 AP right now with double rockbiter.
120 spellpower
That would be a lot.
But you know because they’re blizzard they’ll probably give us 30% and enh shams will be running around throwing 1k earthshocks at people.

Even crazier is how the armor is getting lowered in Gnomer. Yet another little buff to enhance in the raid.
