i think enhance needs some serious rework on its survivability.
they flop like flies at the moment its not fun at all.
some passive defensives or something to make it viable as its really unplayable atm

yeh man feels unplayable since everyone’s got 4 sets like a major setback on that grind. im staying strong and want to stay on the enhance grind but it needs some attention.
im not asking to be broken like DH = DK = ROGUE = LOCK = MAGE hahaha but keep us in the fight !
Reroll dk and have all your damage/healing/ms effects in two buttons. Oh and the pet that procs a 15% wall against main target + slow
So I wanna know what changed between S2 and S3. Because I saw Supatease’s video and he put Enh shaman at C tier, and I’ve seen other people on the forums say Enh is at the bottom.
Is it just because other melee are just way better now? Is it because the tier set is not good for enhance this season? Because last season I had fun hardswapping with ascendance and doomwinds and catching people completely off guard and globaling them. I realize that’s not a viable strat for high level play, but at least to get up to 1800, it must be viable for that?
Enh has always been squishy but rn there’s too much damage in the game + our healing scales terribly as we get more gear/hp. Tier is good and lash is OP but we’re just paper.

yeh exactly all the damage is too much for what our abilitys can handle that would keep us stable prior needs some tuning hopefully on tuesday
They made it like this when healing surge was topping everyone’s health bar. Including all hybrid specs. All classes are paper now a days. It’s clear what they are trying to do & the direction of the current PvP state. Nerfed crits + cc duration beginning of season 2… becomes irrelevant in season 3 with people still dying under 2s 100 - 0. Nice job blizzard!
And that’s yet another problem with balancing between arena and blitz brawl. Enhance is kinda hurting in arena but in blitz brawl they can be very effective if they know when to stand back and heal a bit and when to charge in and pwn. Feral is in the same boat. Just need to know when you can move in for damage and when you have to sit back and heal a homie a few times. I’ve spent a few blitz brawls with more healing than damage because of the team make ups. Sometimes it’s just not worth rushing in and dying fast.
Any spec can be extremely effective in random unrated content against casual opponents.
It’s not really a good indicator of the strength of the spec and more just indicative of the player’s abilities relative to the other random opponents in the BG.
That said, enhance heals are somewhat more effective in blitz since there’s no dampening.
Would love to see starting damp in shuffle only applied to healer specs.
Blitz has a team rating right now.
No personal rating yet.
I’m not sure there are enough players playing blitz right now to make for high end matches are there?
What MMR are your games at?
Varies widely because it is team rating with no person rating as of now.
But most of my matches are between 1700 and 1900 as of this post.
I actually have no idea how meaningful that is.
With alot of casual players playing the format, that MMR may still be pretty casual.
All of that is true, but the overall point is enhance does okay in settings other than arena, just like feral.
As I’ve said numerous times, there is no way the devs are going to be able to balance both of those pvp settings together. They need to come out and literally say pvp balance will be focused on one or the other. That doesn’t mean they have to delete arena. Just tell the players what to expect in future balance patches.
It will go a long way in reducing the QQ.
Ideally they would have some amount of separate balancing for arena and blitz to the extent necessary.
And they would actually keep a list of all the changes that was available to everyone…
I just don’t see it happening. Sure, they might try. But as time goes on, they will need to balance PvE, Arena, and now Bltiz Brawl? That’s a lot of extra programming resources.
Most likely they’ll see which one is more popular in 2 or 3 months and focus more of their efforts on that, but they will never come out and say they are abandoning one or the other. So the QQ will continue until people realize on their own which PvP content is receiving more love from the devs.
Then again, the way A.I. is rapidly moving along, that could help a lot. So anything is possible.
I never wrote a program in my life and was able to get chatGPT to write a really good program to help my currency trading strategies. This type of program probably would have cost me thousands of dollars in the past, but I managed to get it to work in less than a week on my own without spending big bucks on a real human LOL.
