Is enhancement shaman viable in any PVE content. Haven’t seen much about them this patch.
Enhance is a decent DPS spec but certainly not FOTM.
Enhance has solid single target damage, below-average cleave and survivability. Maelstrom is still a broken resource system (you quickly get capped on it and it becomes a non-factor). You are heavily RNG dependent-you have relatively poor on demand burst.
Enhance has less prominence because elemental has been pretty strong the last couple of patches and enhance falls into the category of melee specs generally worse than a DH and you can get a DH to 120 pretty quickly.

Havoc, ret, ww, fury etc. All are simply superior melee specs to enh. Hence why you never see enh sham.
Enhance are definitely viable in every form of PVE. People that care more about emulating world first racers may not play them. But for 99.99% of all content they are extremely viable.
This is the timed run leaderboard for M+. Elbroiblo is an enhance shaman. That is 3 times in the top 10 best timed runs a group uses one.

Enhancement in the hands of a good player can seriously pump in M+

i would advise another melee class over enhance but they cant do most content but still have the are you ele and get denied for m+ stigma over them.
i wount suggest anyone to play enhance until it gets reworked.
To many buttons to push.

I get along fine in PvE with enhance. Now that Primal Primer build isn’t as necessary, you can go back to machine gunning stormstrike again. I find it satisfying 
PvP though, I just feel too soft.
look at what those enhance shaman groups are giving up another rogue or dh class or better ranged class.
i would 100% bet these so called top enhance shamans are in guild groups or with rl friends and got carried to this point and these groups gave up better dps to let them try.
you wont find this in normal m+ group pugs and will still get asked are you ele then denied.
unless you have friends or a guild to carry you roll another melee class

Stop it.
You dont get carried to “best in the world”.

yes you do you think a m+15 pug group is going to take an enhance shaman over a dh or rogue?..lol.
those guys were carried buy their guilds or rl friends.
…
I don’t even know how to respond to this. Nothing you are saying makes sense.
Its clearly time to move on. Please stop trolling.

can you tell me they wernt guild groups or rl friends and all those times were from random pugs?
peopel can see the facts man.
Noone can be carried to a top 10 ranking. That’s an absolutely asinine comment.
One of our top melee DPSers, right there with me as a fury warr(top tier ranking), is an enh shaman. Post buff+cloak proc, he’s simming around 87-88k. Enh is perfectly viable, it’s merely a harder spec to play. My guildy who plays it is a baller, but I’ve seen several decent enh shamans and even had 1 in a 17 key last week who outdps’d the mage.

those are +24 keys correct those arnt random pugs right?..ok then.
The point is that someone cant be carried into being number 1 because thats the highest rank there is.

The point is noone is being carried in a 24 key, and every key that high is a group of people who know each other.
I think you’re just bad, and should stop typing.

so is that +24 group a group of pugs?
Not seeing how thats relevant at all.
