Haha! People are strange. They would need to update the mechanics so that 2handed worked with the current or hopefully better future design of Enhancement. People limit their options without even thinking of the potential. If you want vanilla play vanilla. An updated 2handed option for Enhance would be awesome.

Imagine, just imagineâŚif all they did was allow us to use any ability with a 2h weapon. What possible harm could it actually do?
ClassicâŚ
2H windfury glory in less than two weeks.
Would require a total rework of Enhance abilities for proc rates and damage coefficients for abilities⌠consider for a moment that theyâd have to balance it around not having Lava Lash (which Shamans have been using for about 5x longer than they used 2H weapons).
Not to mention theyâd have to add agi 2H Axes and Maces back into the game, or just extend the smart main stat to weapons so that weapon drops can become generic and meaningless just like armor.
Let me ask you: do you think that people are generally happy with the performance of Enhancement as it stands right now? Would you rather they give Enhance meaningful attention in the way of balancing it to be more competitive in PVP and M+, or would you rather they pander to dinosaurs that are nostalgic for an entirely different game, making the spec vastly more complicated to balance in the process?
I donât agree with people that want to bring back 2h Frost, but I get that. It was actually iconic. Anyone that raided ICC was probably using a 2H and that playstyle was allowed to linger for a long, long time. 2H enhance died with DW in BC, and was buried by Lava Lash in WotLK.
No it wasnât. Even after the ICDs were synchonized on different ranks of WF you still used WF/WF DW⌠not that enhance was especially good at PVP in BC.
The people youâd see trying to make 2h enhance work were in a tiny minority and even they would admit they were just doing it for fun.
Probably longer than that to get to 30, though, lol. Iâm not saying I just want 2h WF, that can stay weaker, as long as other aspects make up for it. I just like the aesthetic of 2h weapons, and that was one big factor in choosing enh so long ago. Iâm all for more options all around, though. 2h frost, DW unholy and blood, SMF fury, gladiator prot. It only seems to be melee that has had weapons limiting them, though, I do wish the 2h holy pally was given an option with more weapon drops.
Haha, too true!
I would love 2H Frost DK too. I mean, who doesnât want to look like a monster juggernaut wielding Frostmourne?

I agree. I loved proccing windfury on my Staff of Jordan and one-shotting mobs.
Found that out the hard way just as I entered my first dungeon of BFA. Such fun.
as opposed to how highly RNG it is now with 2 weapons??
I am not sure weâre on the same page.
As an old Vanilla shaman who loved 2H Enhancement enough for it to still be a meme at my expense among WoW-playing friends, no, I donât think Enhancement needs 2H again. I think the idea of being a haste-based whirlwind of fast-paced damage is good flavor, and there are enough 2H specs in the game at this point. I also think you either weight enough damage into Windfury to make it not fun to play against (when you just straight-up die out of nowhere randomly), or you donât weight it enough and 2H Enh doesnât even feel that rewarding beyond simply wielding a big weapon (which, I get it, is cool).
